The company, which was born in the INICIA program of entrepreneurship for women of Barcelona Activa, was created by Silvia and Carlos, its two founding partners, at the end of 2021 seeing the need

to give digital tools to small businesses to make them more competitive with respect to the big stores. While local establishments continue to retain their customers with paper stamp cards, the most well-known companies have invested in their own applications to retain their customers and identify them when they make purchases at the point of sale.

Loyapp offers local businesses, restaurants and services, a tool to have their loyalty program in digital format, thus avoiding the need to print and, therefore, favoring environmental sustainability. In addition, the same application can be used in all establishments in the network, creating a community of consumers who are committed to local commerce and favoring the circular economy.
