1. We actively engaged target audience to motivate them even more
Sales representatives are not part of the staff. There is no process to transition them to obligatory mobile app usage. The app should provide for additional value to be actively used.

Bonuses
Using application led to points accumulation with every activity performed - submitting reports, passing a learning module, uploading a photo of a shelf, etc. Accumulated bonuses were redeemable against gift certificates in most popular online retailers and services.
Gamification
All traditional and annoying activities were digitized and managed via a smartphone, intuitively, and quickly. We transformed routine into an easy quest-like activity, guided at every step. Extra mechanics provided for extra points.
Learning
We developed short training with test-based controls to increase the knowledge on products portfolio and merchandising best practices. Completing it also provided additional points.

App ergonomics became our priority. Even with the basic to none experience with digital technology, any sales rep grasped the app benefits quickly and followed the use pattern we targeted.
