Smartwatch app brings catalogues into the age of wearables

Internet Retailing

4th Feb 2016

Online catalogues and offers portal, Tiendeo, has launched an app for Apple Watch which allows users to find deals, weekly ads and coupons from retailers near them. 

Tiendeo’s WatchOS app connects via bluetooth to a smartphone’s GPS function to display stores near the user’s location. By clicking on each business listed the app can retrieve all the data such as offers, address, phone number and opening hours. The maps function allows wearers to use their smartwatch to navigate to the store. 

Within the app, coupons and deals can be saved and the user is alerted when they are about to expire. Similarly, stores can be marked as favourites and notify users when they update their weekly ads and deals.

Tiendeo launched in Australia in 2014 and lists the catalogues of more than 200 Australian retailers on its site. Since its founding in February 2011, the Spanish company has 25 million users worldwide across 35 countries.
