LocBox Labs is the engineering identity behind Hownd, Inc. (formerly FetchRev, originally LocBox), a Tempe, Arizona automated promotions and local-merchant marketing platform that helps restaurants, health and beauty businesses, family entertainment centers, attractions and retail merchants generate new and repeat customers. The platform runs automated marketing across website popups, email drip and birthday campaigns, social media, buy-now promos, gift cards, a promo discovery portal, the MyHownd consumer mobile app, and guest-WiFi capture, billed at a flat monthly fee plus a share of each transaction. Merchants work in the Hownd app at hownd.app, with the legacy FetchRev merchant application still served at app.locbox.com. Hownd operates a partner-gated REST API at partner-api.hownd.com that lets approved partners manage subscribers on behalf of Hownd merchants; it is authenticated with OAuth 2.0 client-credentials against the company's Auth0 tenant and scoped per merchant with an X-Tenant-Id header. No OpenAPI, public API reference, or developer portal is published for it — the only public documentation is the first-party example repository in the company's LocBoxLabs GitHub org.
