ENDVR vs SparkPlug

    Looking at SparkPlug for your retail incentives?

    SparkPlug runs incentives through POS integration, so brand campaigns reach the retailers that have connected their systems and approved the program. ENDVR verifies sales from receipt photos, so your incentives work at every dealer in your network on day one — no POS integration, no per-retailer approval workflow.

    About SparkPlug

    SparkPlug is an incentive management platform for frontline retail and restaurant teams, strongest in cannabis dispensaries and expanding into restaurants and general retail. It connects to the retailer's POS system to track sales and serves both sides of the counter: retailers running incentives for their own staff, and brands funding vendor-sponsored incentives across partnered retailers.

    Why brands choose ENDVR

    What you get with ENDVR

    Reach every dealer in your network

    SparkPlug campaigns depend on POS integration at each store. ENDVR verifies sales from receipt photos, which works identically at a big-box chain and a single-door independent. When your network includes hundreds of specialty dealers on different systems, coverage is the whole game.

    A direct line to the sales associate

    Campaigns go straight to associates' phones in minutes, with no buyer, chain-level rep, or CMS admin in between. Brand education, incentives, and tasks reach the person who actually influences the sale on the shop floor.

    Sell-through verified to the receipt

    Every sales incentive payout is tied to a scanned, AI-verified receipt showing product, store, date, and amount. The $450M+ in sell-through we've delivered is built on real transactions you can audit line by line.

    One stack for five use cases

    Digital Education, Sales Incentives, Frontline Insights, Display Maintenance, and Consumer Cashback run on the same platform with shared audience and store data. No stitching together an LMS, a spiff tool, and a field-audit app.
