Point Based Rewards Management System for Retail Loyalty Programs
Kissflow keeps one running point ledger per customer: what they earned, when it expires, what they have redeemed, and what their live balance is right now, visible the same way whether the earning happened at the register, on the mobile app, or through the online store.
Trusted by leading retailers worldwide
The point balance on the receipt and the point balance in the backend do not always agree.
Points accrue from a purchase, a bonus promotion, and a referral, sometimes all inside the same month, and a customer expects the balance on their account to reflect every one of them by the time they check it. That expectation only holds if accrual, expiry, and redemption are calculated from the same source. When accrual rules live in one system, expiry dates get tracked in a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember, and redemptions are deducted by hand after the fact, the balance a customer sees on the receipt and the balance the backend actually holds start to drift apart. A cashier ends up overriding a number they cannot explain, and a support ticket gets filed over points that should have expired but never did, or points that were redeemed twice because nobody recorded the first deduction in time. Kissflow runs accrual, expiry tracking, and redemption deduction against one running ledger per customer, so the number on the receipt, the number in the loyalty app, and the number finance reports as outstanding liability are always the same number.
Where a point balance stops being trustworthy
Accrual rules are inconsistent
Different promotions calculate points differently, with no single rule engine enforcing them.
Expiry is tracked manually
Points that should have expired stay on the balance, or expire without warning.
Redemptions lag the ledger
A redemption is approved before the balance is actually deducted, creating a mismatch.
No rollup by segment
Nobody can see total outstanding point liability or redemption rate across the program.
Six modules. From point accrual engine through program liability dashboard, in one connected app.
Configure earning rules, expiry windows, and redemption deduction logic.
Point accrual engine
Points are calculated automatically against configured earning rules for every purchase, bonus promotion, or qualifying action.
Per-customer point ledger
Every earn, expiry, and redemption is written to the customer's running ledger, so the balance always reflects the full history.
Expiry tracking
Points approaching their expiry date are flagged in advance and, where configured, expired automatically without manual review.
Redemption deduction
A redemption deducts from the live balance the instant it is approved, instead of waiting for a batch update overnight.
Balance reconciliation
The ledger balance is checked regularly against accrual and redemption records to catch drift before a customer ever notices.
Program liability dashboard
Outstanding point liability and redemption rate roll up across the entire customer base for finance and marketing to review.
From request to system of record in four steps
Capture
A purchase, bonus promotion, or qualifying action accrues points against the customer's running ledger, from the register, the mobile app, or the online store.
Validate
The running balance updates in real time as points earn, near expiry, or get redeemed, kept consistent across every channel.
Track
Points nearing their expiry window are flagged in advance, before they lapse and become a customer complaint, and a redemption deducts from the balance the moment it is approved.
Report
Because the ledger is the system of record, each customer's live balance, earned, expired, and redeemed, is accurate the same way on every channel, with no re-keying.
