More value for your annual license fee will be delivered through Release 16 of the Foodservice Rewards software. For the geeks among you, here are a few of the improvements:

  • FSR Nestle UK Coffee Zone Voucher and Sweepstakes promotion - Nestle UK is running a promotion in which participants will be offered an entry into a sweepstakes upon entering Reward Codes for specific products. They are also awarding vouchers for free coffee products for participants who enter Reward Codes for other specific products.
  • FSR UK Sale Rewards Page - The UK is creating a new page on the Operator site that will display Reward Items that are currently being offered for a discounted point amount. If you click on a specific rewards item, it will take you to directly into the UK Rewards catalog.
  • FSR Remove DPM Requirement - We are removing the requirement that requires a Distributor Program Manager (DPM) to enroll in the Foodservice Program before any Distributor Sales Reps can enroll. Going forward, all DSR’s can enroll regardless if a DPM has already enrolled or not. This change is being made for US and Canada only.
  • FSR DSR Search Functionality and Enrollment Changes - We are changing the way that DPM’s and DSR’s search for their Distributorship on the Enrollment pages and on the My Profile pages. Going forward, the DSR will select the appropriate state or province from a drop down list and then a list of all current Distributorships for that state/province will appear sorted in alphabetical order. In addition, we will be capturing the mailing address of the DSR’s and the mobile phone number. The mobile phone number will be captured for all participant types, not just DSR’s.
  • FSR Link to My Promotions page with User id pre-populated on log-on screen - We are developing a link to the My Promotions page that pre-populates the participants User Id on the log on page. Currently, when a participant is directed to the My Promotions page from an external link, the participant is required to log on before the page will display. This will still be the case, but their user id will be pre-populated in the user id field as a way to streamline the process.
  • FSR Direct Links on Participant Sites - Currently when a participant is driven to the participant site from an external link, we can only go as far as to direct them to the default version of that page. For example, if a participant clicks on a participating products link, it will currently direct them to the Brand version of the page as that is the default version. Going forward, we will have the ability to be more specific. For example, we will have the ability to drive them directly to Nestle’s participant products page or Hormel’s brand page.
  • FSR Provide DSR Operator information to Participating DSR Sponsors - Currently when a participant enrolls using a DSR enrollment code or attaches a DSR to their account in the My Profile section, the participant information is not provided to the Sponsors participating in the DSR program. Going forward, all participants who are attached to a DSR (either during enrollment or using by using the My Profile pages) will be provided to all Sponsors participating in the DSR program. This includes weekly data extract feeds as well as detail reports in eTelligence.
  • FSR Super-Select Comments Field – On the Foodservice Rewards Sponsor site, we will be adding a Super-Select comments box that allows the user to add comments that details the criteria that was used for the super-select portion of the promotion. This will be used for historical record keeping in the event we need to look back at past promotions and determine what criteria was used for the promotion.
