Ackroo’s acquisition of OnTab will help the Ottawa gift card, loyalty and rewards technology and services provider take “significant steps” in its e-commerce and mobile offerings, its CEO said Tuesday.

“Loyalty is demanding the evolution to mobile application interfaces as well, so we believe that by integrating OnTab’s products into our offering and utilizing the founders’ expertise in these areas, we will deliver the market’s best e-gift and white label mobile application solution,” he said in a statement.
