The Problem
Our client wanted an application which their associates could use to provide recognition and commend other associates for doing something special, over and above their normal duties for a customer or for another associate.
Their challenges were:
- They needed an easy way for associates to recognize each other.
- They wanted a mobile app that could be accessible from anywhere.
Our Solution
Spot Solutions developed the Open Road Heart Staff Recognition Application as a cross-platform, easy-to-use mobile hybrid application.
The Heart app included the following functionality:
- Text and image attachments
- Running total of accumulated points for each associate
- Scheduled job to automatically update the list of valid users.
The Impact
Open Road now has a simple, fun, and easy-to-use method of recognizing their associates for providing exceptional customer service.
Now they can:
- Recognize their associates for outstanding service.
- Encourage associates to go above and beyond their normal work duties.
- Build a culture of appreciation.
