Gamified Employee Recognition Platform
Our Client’s Backstory
Klika operates an intensive two-month internship program designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and professional software engineering. Each cycle, a select group of graduates is tasked with architecting and delivering a production-grade product from scratch. One of the program’s most successful outputs is an internal employee reward platform. This application has since become a cornerstone of Klika’s “caring is sharing” culture, serving as the primary vehicle for peer-to-peer recognition and value-driven engagement across the organization.
The Challenge
The project required a multi-disciplinary team to deliver a complex, integrated system under strict professional constraints. Key challenges included:
Aggressive Delivery Timeline: Engineering and launching a full-stack, multi-platform solution within a fixed two-month window.
Automated Logic Orchestration: Developing a reliable backend engine for automated monthly coin redistribution and real-time leaderboard generation.
Secure Ecosystem Integration: Seamlessly linking internal employee databases with Slack while maintaining rigorous security and data privacy standards.
Agile Execution: Mentoring an entry-level development team to master complex task interdependencies and Scrum methodologies.
The Solution
Klika's interns, guided by senior mentors, spearheaded the end-to-end development of a gamified reward ecosystem. Our solution included:
Automated Reward Engine
Engineered a specialized backend logic that automatically distributes 50 virtual coins to every employee at the start of each month, reset via scheduled cron jobs.
Slack-First Integration
Built a robust integration using Bolt.js, allowing employees to reward colleagues directly within their primary communication workspace.
Native Mobile Architecture
Developed high-performance iOS and Android applications using Swift and Kotlin to ensure a premium experience for mobile-first users.
Value-Based Recognition
Integrated specialized tagging features (e.g., #giveback, #beafriend) to ensure recognition was directly aligned with core corporate values.
