ENDVR

We launched ENDVR in 2019 to help retail brands connect with frontline store teams. Our platform empowers sales associates and boosts wholesale revenue for brands by delivering product education, sales incentives, and display maintenance campaigns directly to the sales floor. We provide brands with real-time performance data, helping them see clear returns on investment and improve the in-store customer experience.

Our platform includes tools like:

• Sales Incentives reward associates for verified sales.
• In-Store Display Maintenance lets teams provide visual proof of point-of-purchase display execution.
• Consumer Cash Back guides customers to retail partner stores, increasing foot traffic and giving brands verified purchase data.
• Digital Education delivers mobile-first product knowledge to associates.
• Frontline Insights offers market research from retail experts.
• End-To-End Fulfillment simplifies reward distribution.

We work with brands such as Smith, Vuori, Burton, K2 Sports, Salomon, Keen, and Blundstone. We track metrics like total sell-through, average sell-through per dollar rewarded, average sales increase on a same-store basis, and the number of frontline sales associates in our network.

Our story started in February 2017 with NewKnow, a platform for employee training and communication for retailers. In January 2019, NewKnow rebranded as ENDVR, and we expanded our tools to engage brands, retailers, and store staff. By September 2019, brands like Burton and SPY were already using ENDVR’s sales contest features. G2 recognized ENDVR in its 2024 Best Software Awards.

Our vision is to become the global platform that brands, retailers, and sales associates trust. We want to improve customer experiences, drive sales, and help the industry grow. Our mission is to transform retail by removing the old barriers between brands, retailers, sales associates, and customers, creating an environment where everyone can succeed.

Our core values are:

• Be F$%ing Legendary
• 1% Better Each Day
• Move at Rocket Speed
• Champion Great Ideas
• Embrace The Journey
