A license that can act like a key is about way more than opening doors.
A license that allows your customers to be recognized when they interact with partner brands opens up a world of new partnerships.
Think vehicle-centered transactions - endorse your car to pay for gas on your behalf - that open partnerships between OEMs and services.
Think transaction enabled loyalty programs - endorse your hotel guests to pay for EV charging at the chargers installed in your underground (and always offline) garage by a partner brand.
Once you issue a license to your customers, it becomes the center of a connected ecosystem with your brand at the center.
