How Infoveave Enabled Loyalty Rewards Automation for Retail Energy

In today’s competitive market, rewarding customer loyalty is critical to building long-term relationships. Retail energy providers increasingly partner with other service providers like Airline Loyalty Programs to attract and retain SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) and SOHO (Small Office Home Office) customers through co-branded rewards. This program allows customers to automatically earn loyalty points based on their energy bill payments, delivering a seamless and engaging rewards experience.

Key Objectives of Automating Loyalty Rewards

The primary objective of this initiative was to streamline and automate the end-to-end loyalty rewards process for customers, eliminating manual intervention while ensuring accuracy, scalability, and operational transparency.

The initiative aimed to address key business and operational challenges by:

• Ensuring loyalty points are awarded only to eligible customers.

• Accurately managing complex payment scenarios, including partial payments, reversals, and withdrawals.

• Preventing over-crediting of loyalty points.

• Ensuring consistent offer application across regions and fuel types.

• Enabling timely identification of enrolment, points crediting, and reversal failures.

• Improving visibility into program performance and customer engagement.

How Infoveave Implemented End-to-End Loyalty Rewards Automation

The goal of this process is to ensure all the eligible customers are accurately rewarded based on their Billing and Payment activity. The process includes 4 steps:

Step 1: Customer Eligibility Identification 

Eligible customers are identified based on predefined offer criteria and billable account status. Key customer and business attributes like company identifier and address information are validated to determine eligibility for loyalty participation and associated benefits.

Step 2: Membership Validation and Enrolment

Customer details are validated against the loyalty platform to confirm existing membership. Customers who are not already enrolled are automatically onboarded, and their membership status is updated accordingly.

Step 3: Loyalty Points Calculation

Once customers are eligible and billable, Infoveave calculates loyalty points automatically based on billing and payment activity.

• Bonus Points are awarded as a one-time incentive when a customer becomes billable, driven by offer code and fuel type (for example, electricity accounts – 15,000 points and gas accounts – 5000 points).

• Base Points are calculated on an ongoing basis for successful invoice payments, using business-defined rules tied to payment value and active offers.

• Automated Reversals ensure accuracy by reversing base points only when invoices are withdrawn, maintaining trust and data integrity. (For example, 3 reward points per 1$ paid for fuel type).

Step 4: Loyalty Points Submission: Calculated loyalty points are automatically submitted to the loyalty platform through a unified workflow. Both accruals and reversals are handled seamlessly, with responses captured and stored centrally to support accurate reconciliation and complete auditability. Responses from the loyalty platform are captured and stored in a centralized system, ensuring accurate reconciliation.

Loyalty Scenarios Managed by the Solution

The solution is designed to proactively identify, manage, and resolve a wide range of business and technical complexities across the loyalty lifecycle, including:

• Points Mismatch: Discrepancies between calculated eligible points and points successfully credited, often arising from partial payments, multiple payments.

• Over-crediting Risks: Scenarios where calculated points exceed the total eligible points for an invoice. Such invoices are automatically supressed.

• Invoice Exceptions: Invoices that are withdrawn, reversed, duplicated or fall outside the offer validity window, making them ineligible.

• Data Quality Issues: Missing or inconsistent customer, invoice or offer data that can impact calculations.

• API Integrations: Failures during member validation, enrolment caused by timeouts, authentication issues.

Each scenario is logged, monitored and surfaced through automated alerts and reports.
