Harrigan Home loyalty platform
Installable PWA where partner stores publish deals and coupons, members earn points and tiers, and a live event mode runs bus-tour days with QR check-ins, AI-scored receipt challenges, realtime leaderboards and sponsor lead capture.
Challenge
Harrigan Home wanted a loyalty programme that could survive a real event day: people signing up on their phones mid-shop, live check-ins at partner stores, receipt challenges, and a points balance nobody could cheat.
Approach
The app is an installable PWA on Postgres with row-level security throughout. Database triggers guard the points economy, so even someone holding the public API key cannot mint points. Event mode adds QR check-ins, receipt challenges scored by a vision model, and a live leaderboard. Before launch we attacked our own build in review passes and fixed the holes we found.
Outcome
The spec was written on 30 May 2026. Production went live on 12 July. The Goods Tour ran on 25 July: 71 people joined that day, with 220 check-ins, 56 scored receipts and 13,110 points awarded. Under eight weeks from spec to a public event.
