Can we include our dealers or channel partners?

Yes. Partners get a portal in your brand, with targets, claims, leaderboards and rewards. Claims are checked against your rules, and duplicate claims are flagged.

How are sales claims checked?

Partners lodge a claim with the invoice or receipt. Rules you set check the product, date and amount, duplicate claims are flagged, and you set the review time.

Can RewardCo run recognition for our staff?

Yes. Peer thanks, nominations, service milestones and points, with gift cards in seven countries and payouts to local bank accounts in many currencies.

Which gift cards can participants choose?

Gift cards in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK, the US, Canada and the Philippines, plus payouts to local bank accounts in many currencies.

Can RewardCo run the program for us?

Yes, if you want it. We approve or check claims, pay out rewards, help participants and send you a monthly report. Or your team runs it, and you can switch later.

How long does a program take to launch?

Programs launch in 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the modules and integrations you need.

We list a row only where we could check Channelscaler's own pages. "Not stated" means we did not find it on the pages we read, not that Channelscaler does not offer it. Facts about RewardCo link to our own pages (R1, R2 and so on). Staff recognition, milestones, surveys and employee perks are left out: Channelscaler's pages describe a partner platform, not tools for a company's own staff.
