Wapping vs Splio


With Splio you have to replace your Automation; Wapping connects to it


Splio defines itself primarily as a CRM and Automation tool to which it adds a light loyalty layer, including identification with Mobile Pass. It tries to cover the entire customer marketing area, which forces you to change your CRM/Automation in order to add its loyalty. With Wapping you can keep your CRM/Automation (Klaviyo, Connectif, Salesforce,…) and add omnichannel loyalty and a CDP, with maximum flexibility and range of services. If you switch CRMs tomorrow, you simply connect Wapping to the new one.

You do not currently consider loyalty an important asset for your business

Wapping may be a good fit if...


You have a growing business or are already a mid-size or large retailer

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Wapping and Splio

What is the main difference between Wapping and Splio?

Splio's core is Automation. Its functionality focuses on general CRM and Automation capabilities, to which it adds a loyalty layer based on a points program. However, it does not solve unified customer identity well, and it does not include advanced loyalty features or an omnichannel promotion engine. Wapping offers a broader catalog of loyalty features, a powerful promotion engine, and greater depth in the CDP layer, starting with a key factor: creating and guaranteeing unique customers without duplicates.

Why is email not a good unique customer identifier?

Because many users have several email accounts, which makes it hard to manage unified identities online and offline, causes issues with customers in store, and leads to calls to the call center. And since creating a new email account is so easy, users may try to take advantage of new sign-up benefits. Both situations create duplicates and unreliable data.

How does Wapping guarantee unified customer identities with no duplicates?

Wapping uses the customer's mobile phone as the unique identifier, verifying it at sign-up to create a unique customer identity without merge & curation processes, guaranteeing no duplicates and strict GDPR compliance.

Is the Mobile Pass the only recommended method for customers to identify themselves in a physical store?

No. Mobile Pass is a good option, but if the business has an APP, customers should be able to identify themselves there, as well as via WhatsApp, and in some businesses even with a physical card for older customers who don't use a mobile phone.

Why should a modern loyalty program offer an omnichannel promotion engine?

Because points, cashback and gifts are reward mechanisms, but not necessarily activation mechanisms. Wapping doesn't just build customer loyalty; it provides tools to drive sales, steer demand and execute omnichannel commercial strategies from the same platform.

What makes Wapping unique in how it applies benefits at checkout?

Wapping processes each customer's active benefits in real time based on store, items, date and time, and applies them simultaneously at checkout, showing them on the final receipt. Your Marketing team has full autonomy to launch any promotion, campaign or loyalty service in minutes and on all channels, with no additional configuration in the POS, ERP or Ecommerce.
