Revel Systems, a leading provider of a cloud-based point of sale (POS) and complete business management platform, and Como, the global leader in customer engagement and marketing solutions,  announced Como Essentials, a new, out-of-the-box engagement and loyalty solution.

Tailored for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) interested in customer engagement solutions but deterred by cost and complexity, Como Essentials combines smart loyalty, marketing automation, and data-driven tools in an easy-to-launch package. In today’s highly competitive digital landscape, this enables SMBs to create customer engagement programs on par with those offered by larger brands. Como Essentials is fully integrated with the Revel POS to enable a seamless customer engagement solution.
