Idea or High Level Concept

These programs are typically for Employee Rewards & Recognition, Sales & Channel Partner Incentives and Consumer Incentives. Xoxoday mainly operates from India. However, we have around 800+ clients from all across the globe (mainly the US, Europe, SEA, ME and India). We have a very robust and automated reward catalogue - which is one of the largest in the world. We provide rewards in over 120+ countries and 30+ categories.

Traction and Current Status

5) Pipeline - 100+ Clients with US$ 20 Mn in Sales (Q1 FY22)
6) Projected to be US$ 1Bn with 15% Gross Margins by FY26

Problem or Opportunity

Opportunity: The Global Rewards and Incentive market is around US$ 300 Bn and growing at a CAGR of 14%.

Key Pain areas in R&R Space:
1) Rewards not aligned to business goals and KPIs
2) Operational Inefficiencies - Multi- vendors, Expiry, Calculations, Manual errors, Repetitive, Low transparency
3) Rewards are not immediate and not integrated with existing applications
4) Limited choice and geographical spread of the rewards


Solution

We have built a tech platform with can easily integrate with existing client systems like ERP, HRMS, Communication (e.g. Slack), Survey Portals, Customer Support Systems, Sales CRMs and their intranet portals. The integration allows the creation of workflows for automated rewarding. These workflows are linked with KPIs of the client. E.g. Based on the sales achievement of the sales team or channel partner - a reward is triggered at each milestone achievement. These rewards are automated and real-time - hence it increases the impact of the rewards.
