Sayl Cloud is an all-in-one marketing, commerce, and loyalty platform designed primarily for businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors. The company provides independent restaurants, hotels, and retailers with a powerful suite of tools to increase direct sales, own their customer relationships, and reduce their reliance on third-party aggregators that charge high commissions. Sayl’s platform integrates functionalities like online ordering, table reservations, customer relationship management (CRM), and marketing automation into a single, cohesive system.
A key innovation for Sayl Cloud is its integration with the Hedera network to offer next-generation, Web3-powered loyalty programs. Through this integration, businesses can easily create their own branded tokens and NFTs on Hedera, transforming traditional points-based rewards into engaging digital assets. Customers can earn these tokens for their purchases and other interactions, and then redeem them for exclusive perks, creating a more dynamic and gamified experience. Supported by The HBAR Foundation, Sayl leverages Hedera's fast, secure, and low-cost ledger to make these "Loyalty 3.0" programs feasible for its clients.
The eftpos solution by Australian Payments Plus provides a cost effective, secure and flexible payment infrastructure for Australian businesses. It supports real time debit transactions, tap to pay on mobile devices, eftpos QR payments and least cost routing, which allows merchants to automatically direct debit transactions through the lowest cost network to help reduce the cost of acceptance.
Australian Payments Plus has worked with Google to enable least cost routing in Google Wallet, with ANZ and Suncorp the first issuers to offer this capability. It is also partnering with Giesecke and Devrient to develop eftpos Click to Pay with integrated least cost routing, an online checkout service that uses tokenisation to protect card credentials and is scheduled for rollout from early 2026 following pilot trials.
These developments enhance payment efficiency, improve security, support domestic data sovereignty and align with Reserve Bank of Australia findings that least cost routing can materially reduce merchant debit acceptance costs.
