FIG.04 — HANDOVER AT THE COUNTER
One scan, two confirmations
The code is scanned at the till. The register and the customer’s phone show the same transaction — neither side has to trust the other’s screen.
Three pictures, no marketing fog.
What happens in the app, what happens at the counter, and how that becomes a network of local businesses.
The app in hand
Balance, single-use code and activity in one calm surface.
Handover at the counter
One scan at the till — points credited or a reward redeemed.
A network of shops
Every business a node: the value stays in the neighbourhood.
Your benefits stay transparent.
HeimatPoints and Green Bonus are kept separate, so you always know what each benefit is for.
HeimatPoints
Earn, transfer, and—where an offer allows it—use them with participating partners.
Green Bonus
A separate, purpose-bound benefit. It currently cannot be transferred, redeemed, or paid out.
HeimatPoints
HeimatPoints work across participating partners; business-only points stay with that business.
Predominantly local. Built open.
We run maps, geocoding, object storage, and core services predominantly ourselves and regionally—with open-source software and data-minimising paths.
FIG.07 — DATA FLOW
From scan to balance
Every transaction runs the same audited path: signed code, immutable ledger, balance. The source code is open to inspection.
FIG.08 — LOCAL CIRCULATION
Money that stays in town
A euro spent in the corner shop moves on to the baker, the tradesperson, the club — instead of draining out of the town.
Predominantly local
Core services and geodata stay in our own regionally operated infrastructure wherever possible.
Open source
MapLibre, OpenStreetMap, Nominatim, PostgreSQL, and MinIO provide our open, transparent foundation.
