The challenge

Regional vouchers should be easy to buy and redeem at different businesses. The partner network, issuing, redemption and settlement all need to work together.

My contribution

In my earlier roles as an entrepreneur and managing director, I connected the business model with the technology platform and the needs of regional partners. I focused on design, coordination and ongoing development.

Implementation

Inn-Taler and Wipp-Taler combine an app, voucher cards and QR code redemption with digital administration. Issuing outlets and participating businesses use a shared platform to track sales, redemptions and settlements.

Results and milestones

  • Inn-Taler paid €1,538,789.17 to partner businesses from January 2021 to 22 September 2026
  • Inn-Taler issued more than €1.75 million in voucher value by the end of 2024
  • Wipp-Taler launched in 2024 and issued a six-figure value of vouchers in its first year

Sources include the Inn-Taler factsheet of 23 September 2026, payment records through 22 September 2026 and the project update from the end of 2024. Partner payments reflect redeemed voucher balances. The historical issue value records voucher sales.

Current status

Ongoing development includes partner communications and websites. In 2026, my work includes coordinating promotions, communication channels and website requirements.
