The company was looking for a survey rewards platform that could automate reward procurement and distribution for its panelists – a task that was manual, time-consuming, and caused significant operational and logistic challenges for the company.  

Le sfide affrontate 

As Kantar scaled its research operations, managing survey incentives manually became increasingly complex. With the rise in online surveys and a shift to remote work, the company needed a more efficient solution to streamline reward distribution and improve tracking. 

• Manual reward procurement and distribution led to logistical and operational inefficiencies. 
• Increased online surveys and remote work demanded an automated incentive system. 
• The existing process consumed excessive employee bandwidth and caused delays. 
• Lack of analytics and reporting made it difficult to track reward redemption patterns.

Plum provided a storefront for Kantar to integrate their reward catalog and send e-gift cards and vouchers upon study completion. Kantar also utilized Plum's robust APIs to distribute rewards en masse.  

With the implementation of the reward marketplace which took just 72 hours, survey respondents could browse, select, and purchase gift vouchers from Plum’s vast reward catalog containing 10 million+ rewards in 55+ countries.

For panel admins, a rewards and incentives player like Plum could save them significant costs by only paying for rewards that end up being redeemed by end-users.
