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.

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 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.

Does RewardCo work with Microsoft Entra ID?

Yes. Staff can sign in with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). Payroll, HR and CRM systems connect through our API.

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 Kudos's own pages. "Not stated" means we did not find it on the pages we read, not that Kudos does not offer it. Facts about RewardCo link to our own pages (R1, R2 and so on). Employee perks is left out: Kudos's pages describe recognition and rewards, not a discount program.
