Why Brands Choose TPG

Receipt Validation Is More Than OCR

Extracting text from an image is the easy part. Accurately identifying retailers, verifying qualifying products, applying program rules, and protecting your promotional budget — at national scale, under time pressure — is where platforms prove themselves.

Fast Validation
Consumers expect immediate feedback. Slow validation creates a poor experience, increases support inquiries, and drives participation drop-off. TPG delivers qualification decisions in minutes — not hours or days — so consumers receive confirmation while the purchase is still fresh.
Minutes, not days
🎯
Proven Accuracy
No two retailers format receipts the same way. TPG accurately identifies retailers, qualifying products, quantities, spend thresholds, and transaction details across a wide range of receipt formats — from major national chains to regional grocery environments.
Consistent across retailers
🏗
Enterprise Scalability
National promotions create unpredictable volume spikes. TPG's platform is engineered to absorb peak submission volume without degrading performance or validation speed. Whether a program generates thousands or hundreds of thousands of submissions, the experience remains consistent.
Built for national scale
🛡
Fraud Protection
Promotional fraud is a direct financial loss. TPG's multi-layer fraud detection identifies duplicate submissions, suspicious behavioral patterns, altered receipts, and invalid transactions — protecting your promotional investment before a reward is ever issued.
Multi-layer detection
📊
Shopper Intelligence
Every validated receipt is a data asset. TPG transforms submission data into visibility on retailer preferences, purchase timing, basket composition, category spend, and repeat purchase behavior — giving brand teams intelligence they cannot get elsewhere.
Data from every receipt
Flexible Program Logic
Consumer promotions rarely fit a single template. TPG supports SKU-level validation, spend thresholds, minimum quantity requirements, cumulative purchase tracking, retailer-specific rules, and multi-purchase program mechanics — configurable to your specific program design.
Built around your rules
How It Works

From Submission to Decision
in Minutes

Every step is automated. Every decision is logged. Every receipt becomes a verified data point.

1
Consumer Submits Receipt
The consumer photographs their receipt and submits through the program experience — mobile web, microsite, app, or text-to-submit. No app download required for most programs.
Mobile-first, friction-free
2
Receipt Data Extracted
Image processing and data extraction begin immediately. Text, layout, and structural elements are analyzed to capture transaction data from the receipt.
Automated extraction
3
Retailer and Transaction Identified
The retailer is confirmed against TPG's retailer recognition library. Store format, transaction date, time, and total are extracted and verified.
Broad retailer coverage
4
Products and Basket Analyzed
Line-item data is parsed to identify qualifying products, quantities, and spend. Basket composition — including competitive and cross-category purchases — is captured for reporting.
SKU-level accuracy
5
Program Rules Applied
Submission is evaluated against the program's configured rules — qualifying SKUs, minimum spend, quantity requirements, retailer eligibility, and cumulative purchase tracking.
Fully configurable logic
6
Fraud Screening Performed
Every submission is screened for duplicate receipts, duplicate transactions, altered images, abnormal submission patterns, and other fraud signals before a decision is issued.
Always on, always running
7
Qualification Decision Issued
A qualification decision is returned — approved, rejected, or flagged for review. Consumers receive confirmation quickly, improving program experience and reducing support volume.
Fast consumer response
8
Reporting and Insights Generated
Validated transaction data flows into program reporting — submission volume, approval rates, retailer breakdown, basket data, and shopper behavior — giving brand teams visibility throughout the program.
Real-time program intelligence
Shopper Intelligence

Every Receipt Is a
Data Asset

Most brands focus on whether a receipt qualifies. Fewer appreciate what validated receipts reveal about how their consumers actually shop — and what that data is worth beyond the promotion itself.

🏬
Retailer Intelligence
Understand exactly where your consumers are buying — and how retail channel preferences vary across your buyer base.
  • Retailer distribution of purchases
  • Channel preferences by geography
  • Retailer switching behavior
  • Program retailer penetration
🛒
Basket Intelligence
See what consumers buy alongside your product — revealing category adjacencies, cross-sell opportunities, and competitive exposure.
  • Basket size and composition
  • Category co-purchase patterns
  • Competitive product presence
  • Average transaction value
📅
Purchase Behavior
Track how consumers shop over time — identifying high-frequency buyers, lapsed purchasers, and patterns that predict future behavior.
  • Purchase frequency and timing
  • Repeat purchase rates
  • Shopping cycle patterns
  • Quantity purchased per trip
📦
Product Intelligence
Validate which SKUs consumers are actually buying — and identify size, format, or variant preferences you may not see in aggregate sales data.
  • SKU-level purchase detail
  • Size and format preferences
  • Multi-unit purchase behavior
  • Qualifying vs. non-qualifying purchases
💰
Spend Intelligence
Measure what consumers are spending — on your brand, in your category, and across the full basket — at the transaction level.
  • Category spend per trip
  • Brand spend vs. category spend
  • Spend threshold performance
  • Price point purchased
🔄
Loyalty Intelligence
Identify your most valuable buyers and the behaviors that differentiate loyal purchasers from one-time participants.
  • Repeat participation rates
  • Multi-purchase program performance
  • High-frequency buyer identification
  • Program engagement patterns
Receipt validation is not just a verification tool — it is a shopper data platform.
Every qualified receipt produces verified, first-party purchase data that brands can act on — during the program and after it ends.
Built for High-Volume Promotions

Engineered for National
Promotion Scale

Most receipt validation platforms perform adequately at low volume. The real test is what happens when a national promotion drives thousands of simultaneous submissions — and the consumer experience cannot degrade.

TPG's platform was designed from the ground up to support the performance requirements of large-scale consumer promotions. Whether a campaign generates a few thousand submissions or several hundred thousand, TPG delivers consistent validation speed, reliable processing, and a consumer experience that holds up under peak load.

Peak Volume Handling
Designed to absorb campaign launch spikes without slowing validation or consumer response times.
🔁
Consistent Processing
Validation speed and accuracy remain stable throughout the program — not just at launch.

Fraud Prevention

Protect Every Dollar
of Promotional Spend

Promotional fraud is not a theoretical risk. Invalid submissions, duplicate receipts, and altered images represent direct financial losses that erode campaign ROI and distort performance reporting. TPG's fraud prevention is built into every submission — not applied as an afterthought.

📋
Duplicate Receipt Detection
Identifies when the same receipt image or receipt content is submitted multiple times — preventing the same purchase from qualifying more than once.
🔍
Duplicate Transaction Detection
Cross-references transaction data — retailer, date, time, and total — to identify duplicate transactions submitted with different images.
🖼
Receipt Authentication
Analyzes receipt images for signs of alteration, digital manipulation, or fabrication — rejecting submissions that do not meet authenticity standards.
📈
Behavioral Analysis
Monitors submission patterns at the participant level — flagging abnormal frequency, velocity, or behavioral signals that indicate organized fraud attempts.
🔎
Submission Pattern Analysis
Identifies coordinated fraud attempts through network-level pattern recognition — detecting submission clusters that suggest organized promotional abuse.
Program Integrity Controls
Participation limits, eligibility rules, device and identity checks, and confidence scoring work together to protect program integrity throughout the campaign.
The result: less promotional waste, more accurate performance data, and greater confidence that every reward issued represents a verified, legitimate purchase.
