NEW YORK, April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- News America Marketing (NAM), the premier promotional marketing services company in the U.S. and Canada, today announced the launch of their Apple Watch savings app, SmartSource In-Store Assistant, intended to simplify and streamline grocery savings and transactions at participating retailers. SmartSource In-Store Assistant is associated with SmartSource Coupons for iOS and will be available for free in the App Store shortly.
SmartSource In-Store Assistant gives users a fast and convenient way to access store loyalty cards and the coupons associated with them. Users can then use their Apple Watch to complete their grocery transaction, with coupons being redeemed through their loyalty card and payment being made through Apple Pay.
