Starting from 8th of june 2023 Orkan’s customers can use their Orkulykill directly through their phone with Apple and Google Wallet. Orkan is the first energy company to adopt this technology, a result of collaboration with Game Chang3r, which has been working on Orkan’s implementation of the Gift to Wallet system. The system is designed for the management, sale, and operation of credit cards, as well as the issuance of the Orkulykill in mobile wallets.
Key Benefits:
The primary advantage of this development is the ability to issue Orkulykill and sell credit cards entirely electronically, without customers needing to download a new app or receive a physical key or card. The cards are directly available in Apple or Google Wallet. The Gift to Wallet system allows Orkan to adopt a more environmentally friendly solution by reducing plastic use.
The electronic cards offer numerous benefits for customers, such as automatically opening when they drive into stations. For credit cards, users can immediately see their remaining balance.
The Orkulykill in the phone is now available to Orkan’s customers, and the solution for electronic credit cards will be ready in the coming weeks.
“We are grateful for the trust Orkan has placed in Game Chang3r and our solution, Gift to Wallet. It is extremely gratifying to collaborate with such a forward-thinking company as Orkan. This step will be a true game changer for the customer experience of Orkan’s clients and will significantly increase their satisfaction,” says Yngvi Tómasson, CEO of Game Chang3r.
“At Orkan, we are always looking for ways to make things easier for our customers, and this is part of that journey. Smartphones have become common for payment at POS terminals and pumps, so it’s convenient for customers to also have the pump key in their phone. This also reduces plastic use, and customers can get their Orkulykill immediately without waiting for it in the mail. We are very pleased with our collaboration with Game Chang3r, as they have developed a simple and smart solution that supports Orkan’s digital journey,” says Auður Daníelsdóttir, CEO of Orkan.
The Gift to Wallet system is suitable for companies in various industries. Many of the country’s largest retail companies have chosen Game Chang3r’s Gift to Wallet solution for managing their gift cards and loyalty solutions. The solution is suitable for both stores and shopping centers. With gift cards issued through Gift to Wallet, it is possible to pay for products in stores, as the system is integrated with LS Retail and DK POS, as well as most major e-commerce platforms, POS systems, and checkout systems.
