A leading data analytics and brand consulting firm, Kantar, distributed over $3 million in rewards in just a quarter

Kantar, the world's leading data insights company, eliminated the inefficiencies of a manual reward process and automated its digital rewards with Xoxoday Plum.

Challenges

Before implementing Xoxoday, procurement and dispatch of rewards for survey participants were done manually, leading to logistical and operational challenges. With the shift to remote work and a significant increase in online surveys, there was a desperate need for a streamlined and automated incentive system. The existing solution consumed substantial employee bandwidth, causing significant hassles. Additionally, they faced difficulties in calculating analytics and reporting on reward redemption patterns.

Xoxoday provided a Storefront for Kantar to integrate and send e-gift cards and vouchers upon study completion. Kantar also utilized Xoxoday's APIs to distribute rewards en masse. End-users could browse, select, and purchase vouchers using reward points or payment gateways, with detailed reporting and analytics available on a single intuitive dashboard.
