Dotykačka vs PORTOS:
loyalty at the till compared
Dotykačka and PORTOS both connect to Rewardly, but in opposite directions: Dotykačka receives the loyalty values, PORTOS asks for them.
The short answer
With Rewardly, Dotykačka stores points, a discount group and credit on its customer, and staff redeem by ringing up prepared products. PORTOS stores nothing from Rewardly: it asks for the customer's rewards when the customer is selected.
Dotykačka is the choice if you want the till to count points per product itself. PORTOS fits venues that each run their own server and want rewards and credit served live.

The differences that matter day to day
Where the loyalty values live
On Dotykačka, Rewardly writes the values onto the Dotykačka customer. On PORTOS, Rewardly keeps every value and sends a list of rewards when the cashier selects the customer.
Tiers
Dotykačka applies tiers as a percentage discount group. PORTOS shows points only, though a tier discount can be offered among the rewards.
Credit and cashback
On Dotykačka, credit goes to the account balance and cashback is paid out through a prepared product. On PORTOS, credit and cashback are held when claimed and charged when the ticket closes.
Branches and venues
Dotykačka connects one cloud with its branches. PORTOS connects each venue's server separately, and each server has to be reachable over the internet.
Two examples
