Here’s how the team at dacadoo uses Open Loyalty to implement gamification mechanics into their digital health engagement platform to help their customers acquire, engage, and retain customers.
"The target audience we are going after are between 35 to 65 year-olds. This is a generally healthy audience with typically no underlying diseases. As you can imagine, It’s difficult to motivate healthy people to use a health and wellness solution regularly."
"In order to succeed, you need a good coverage of engagement functionalities like gamification, lifestyle coaching, content, social features, analytics as well as economic incentives. For example, distributing points for healthy behavior and allowing users to spend these points in a reward shop."

"The main product-related challenge was creating and maintaining campaigns tailored to the specific needs of our clients. Our previous system was not flexible enough and had quite a few limitations. With Open Loyalty we can create user engagement campaigns much easier and fulfill the requirements of our clients with less restrictions."

Open Loyalty is an API-first loyalty engine offering powerful loyalty and gamification features like points, tiers, rewards, referrals, wallets, badges, coupons, and achievements that can be implemented to existing products and services faster than developing them from scratch.
"We use goals, challenges, and event-triggered achievements. We set up events and when they occur, we send the data to Open Loyalty and trigger campaigns. Creating campaigns and tailoring them to what our clients needed in our platform used to be difficult and expensive. The loyalty engine makes it much easier for us to configure and customize the engagement mechanics."
