The Problem

UNiDAYS and Student Beans serve 22 million students but zero local businesses. The campus coffee shop, the neighborhood gym, the local barber: they all want student customers but have no platform to reach them with tracked ROI. Meanwhile, founders running hyperlocal student marketplaces are managing merchant pipelines, campus activation, and territory expansion with spreadsheets and gut feel.

The Solution

ExcellanceOS gives operators a single command center: real-time merchant pipeline tracking, student engagement analytics across every campus, territory scoring for expansion, and automated merchant ROI reports. The playbook runs itself. You focus on the relationships. The system handles the rest.

What runs inside

Every lever of the business, instrumented and autonomous.

Merchant Pipeline

Track every local business from first contact to signed partner. See which campuses need more merchants, which categories are underserved, and where the highest-ROI opportunities sit.

Student Engagement

Monitor activation rates, redemption patterns, and campus-by-campus engagement. Know which promotions drive foot traffic and which fall flat, before the semester ends.

Territory Intelligence

Score new campus markets by student density, local business concentration, and competitive presence. Expand to the right city at the right time with data, not guesswork.

Merchant ROI Reports

Auto-generate weekly reports showing each merchant exactly how many students visited, what they spent, and their return on the partnership. Retention through proof.
