Open Loyalty

The software was easy to install and use. There are a few key configurations needed but nothing a mid-senior developer cannot manage. The ability of the software to easily create reward campaigns, load bulk vouchers and issue out is quick and painless. Open Loyalty is free to use which is great for testing out the platform and helping to define how your business way want to use it.

It is a little limited in terms of reporting functionality via the admin console or API.

This is an ideal solution for companies that seek to complement their current e-business / CRM / ERP with a loyalty program without breaking nor the bank nor their current functionality. Every possible scenario has been thought out: campaigns with a set range of dates, rewards that depend on the client's loyalty level, segmentation of clients based on their number of points, rewards exchanged, number of transactions, etc.

It's really easy to integrate with existing front-end solutions and has an admin panel that helps defining and dynamically changing levels, client segments, points-reward conversion rates, and also look at each client's transaction history, solve attribution problems, etc, effectively treating the loyalty program as an external module of their main software.

There have been two main misunderstandings about Open Loyalty so far: that it's free (because of the "Open" part) and that it's an out-of-the-box solution.
The development version is indeed free and serves the purpose of allowing the construction of a quick proof of concept of the implementation, when the online demo is not enough for an evaluation of the product.

The idea that this product would be a solution that could be configured and just published to the world is a little off. This product serves all purposes and can be easily integrated (through JSON requests) with any existing front-end that can be extended, be it the front-end for the acquisition of points or the one for exchanging them.
