Sugar & Ethanol Loyalty Program in Kolkata | TagnPay

The Indian sugar and ethanol sector processes 32+ million tonnes annually, with Kolkata serving as a critical distribution hub for Eastern India. Channel partners—distributors, retailers, and co-operative societies—operate on compressed margins (2-4%) and fragmented loyalty infrastructure, creating revenue leakage and churn. TagnPay's enterprise loyalty platform addresses this structural gap by consolidating multi-stakeholder incentives, real-time transaction tracking, and algorithmic reward distribution across the sugar-ethanol value chain. Our platform serves 150+ F&B and industrial FMCG enterprises, processing ₹2,400+ crores in annual loyalty transactions with 92% redemption rates.

Challenge: 35% of partner base inactive in legacy SMS-based incentive program; distributor cash flow stress drove 18% churn; manual claims processing cost ₹8.5 lakhs annually; no visibility into which partner tiers drove margin growth.
