Engagement Engine · Product AI-Powered

Your points programme
is a cost centre.
Perx turns it into profit.

Perx Points Engine moves customers from monthly utility to daily habit — engineering psychological lock-in through behavioural currency, AI-powered tiers, and precision rules that direct every promotional dollar only where it moves the P&L.

What makes it different

Most points programmes reward transactions after they happen — creating a ledger liability with no measurable impact on behaviour.

Perx Points Engine engineers the behaviour before the transaction. Every point issued is a nudge. Every tier is a lock. Every rule is commercially justified before it fires.

The problem it solves

Your customers earn points
once a month. Then forget you exist.

Earn-and-burn programmes create a balance sheet liability — not a behavioural asset. Customers accumulate passively, redeem once, and feel no pull to return.

Passive accumulation, no habit

Customers earn points on transactions they were already going to make. No new behaviour. No incremental revenue. Just cost.

Tier systems with no teeth

Bronze, Silver, Gold looks good on paper. But if customers feel no urgency to progress — and no fear of losing status — tiers are decoration, not retention.

Points liability on the balance sheet

Every unspent point is a deferred cost. Without burn mechanics that convert liability into commercial activity, your CFO sees a growing problem.

No switching cost

Without genuine status and daily habit, a competitor's sign-up bonus is enough to pull your best customers away. You've built no lock-in.

How Points Engine solves it

Four capabilities. One points architecture
built for daily habit.

Every point issued changes a behaviour. Every tier creates a status your customer protects. Every rule is validated before it fires. And the whole system reconciles to your P&L in real time.

Engagement & MAU

Turn every digital action into
a reason to open your app.

A behavioural currency that converts everyday actions — logins, transfers, bill payments, savings milestones — into brand equity. Your app becomes a fixture in the customer's daily routine, not a tool they open once a month.

"Ownership and possession bias means accumulated points are not perceived as a brand benefit — they are perceived as personal wealth. A customer sitting on 4,000 points has a psychological stake in your ecosystem that no competitor can instantly replicate."

Behavioural Points Issuance

Reward the actions that build habit — not just the transactions

Issue points on any customer action — logins, profile completion, bill payments, savings goal milestones, app opens. Every micro-action becomes a reason to return.

Psychological driver: Variable Reward Loops

Shared Economy

Turn your best customers into your cheapest acquisition channel

Built-in point pooling and gifting mechanics. Customers share points with family, refer friends into the programme, and create viral network effects — all within your controlled ecosystem.

Result: 90% surge in sign-ups at client deployments

Active users scaled by rewarding daily digital interactions

A leading BFSI client moved from monthly transactional engagement to daily app habit — 1.12M active users driven by behavioural points issuance across logins, transfers, and in-app actions.

Retention & CLTV

Make switching feel like
a personal demotion.

AI-powered tier systems that detect upgrade proximity per customer in real time — intensifying the right incentive at exactly the right moment. Loss aversion anchors your highest-value customers more powerfully than any reward budget ever could.

"The customer who is 850 points away from Platinum is not thinking about your competitor. They are thinking about the gap. That near-miss psychology is the most commercially valuable moment in your loyalty programme."

AI Tier Proximity Detection

Show customers exactly what they're about to lose

AI monitors each customer's tier position in real time and fires the right nudge at the right proximity threshold — "You're 850 points from Platinum. Make one more purchase this month to unlock 3× dining points." Loss aversion does the rest.

Psychological driver: Loss Aversion & Near-Miss Effect

Leaderboards & Status Badges

Give your best customers a stage — and watch them spend to stay on it

Social influence drives aspiration. Customers who see their rank relative to peers consistently increase spend to maintain position. Badges crystallise status into a permanent visual identity — a digital trophy that makes churn feel like public demotion.

Proof point · Multi-Market · Tier Progression

Returning customer rate via automated tier-progression loops

Automated tier proximity nudges keep customers in a permanent state of near-miss psychology — always one purchase away from the next level. 72% return, not because of the reward, but because of what they'd lose by not coming back.

Revenue & CAC

Every point issued.
Every dollar commercially justified.

AI-powered precision logic applies granular triggers to every customer action and continuously monitors which rules are delivering ROI and which are not. No spray-and-pray. No manual analysis. No underperforming rule runs undetected.

"The rules engine is what separates a points programme that costs money from one that makes it. Every rule is modelled for P&L impact before it fires — and auto-paused the moment it stops delivering."

AI-Powered Precision Rules

Direct every point only at behaviour that moves the P&L

Stack up to six conditions per rule — transaction type, merchant category, spend threshold, channel, segment, time window. AI models expected P&L impact before approval. No rule fires without a commercially justified case.

Result: $446 incremental spend per single rule triggered

Automated Reconciliation

A points ledger your CFO trusts — in real time

Audit-ready exports that align point issuance and burn with your financial ledgers. Every point issued, held, or redeemed is reconciled in real time. P&L visibility without the manual export cycle.

Result: Real-time P&L visibility — zero batch lag

Proof point · Leading BFSI Enterprise · Precision Rules

Incremental spend generated per single rule triggered

Precision rules direct points issuance only at behaviours that generate commercial return — not at transactions that would have happened regardless. Every point issued has a validated P&L case behind it.

Margin Optimisation

The right reward. The right moment.
Never a dollar over.

AI matches the right reward to the right customer at the right moment — blending points, vouchers, and game tries dynamically. Every interaction is met with an incentive of exactly equal psychological value. Maximum impact, minimum spend, zero manual calibration.

"Over-rewarding is as damaging as under-rewarding. A reward worth more than the behaviour it triggered costs you margin. Perx AI calibrates to psychological value — not arbitrary reward brackets."

AI Reward Matching

Match reward value to psychological value — automatically

AI dynamically blends points, cashback, vouchers, and gamification tries to find the incentive of exactly equal psychological value for each customer action. No manual calibration. Maximum engagement per dollar spent.

Psychological driver: Variable Ratio Reinforcement

Multi-Category Reward Catalogue

Give customers choice without giving up margin control

Points, vouchers, cashback, digital goods, game entries — all configurable in a single reward catalogue with individual margin controls per category. Customers feel richness of choice. You control every cost line.
