NEW YORK & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIRTAG®, the leading provider of Mobile Shopping Solutions, today announces the opening of a new U.S. office in New York. The new office will be aimed at further accelerating business partnerships for mobile ordering, loyalty and NFC payments & mobile wallets across North America, specifically in Canada and the U.S. The new regional headquarters will be led by AIRTAG’s long time CEO & co-founder Jérémie Leroyer.
“We see very strong traction in the Mobile Commerce market; however, most players are focusing too much on mobile payment rather than on the real issue: providing new mobile shopping services in-store,” said Jérémie Leroyer CEO & Co-founder of AIRTAG. “We’ve been working on solutions for retailers that bring a real added value to their shoppers. We look forward to further engaging North American retailers, restaurants and major brands to truly create unique mobile shopping experiences that can help redefine the mobile commerce marketplace.”
The AIRTAG platform, AIRSHOP, is quickly growing as the solution of choice for major food retailers including McDonald’s, McCafé and Carrefour City. The McDonald’s mobile shopping application, GoMcDo™, which allows patrons to Order and Pay by Mobile before getting to the restaurant, has already been implemented in more than 50 restaurants in Europe with an additional 1200 locations scheduled to deploy in the coming months.
The opening of the New York office follows a year of substantial growth milestones for AIRTAG including tripling annual revenues, as well as the continued innovation of new patents for the company’s Point-of-Sale service technologies. The AIRTAG NFC suite, Secure Apps for Mobile Payment & Wallets, has been of growing interest to a wide range of banks, financial institutions and mobile network operators.
