Backoffice & API for High-Volume Loyalty
Craft had four months to develop and deploy a customer loyalty solution able to handle hundreds of thousands of coupons and integrate with partners.
The Challenge
Four Months. Hundreds of Thousands of Coupons.
Craft Loyalty needed a loyalty platform that could go from brief to live deployment in four months.
The platform needed to be built to handle hundreds of thousands of coupons moving between redeeming clients and voucher-providing partners, on a tight and unmoving timeline.
On top of the build itself, Craft had just taken on a contract with Mastercard to own the web presence for the loyalty programme across three countries, adding a second, parallel workstream to an already tight schedule.
- 4-month delivery window
- Hundreds of thousands of coupons
- Multi-partner integration
- Mastercard contract
- 3-country web presence
Challenge
Solutions Built
One Control Tower. Two Workstreams.
Symbyte delivered a bespoke backoffice and API inside the four-month window, then took on implementation partner duties for Craft Loyalty’s Mastercard contract.
Backoffice and API
A bespoke backoffice supported by an API that integrates with both the clients redeeming vouchers and the partners providing them. The solution now runs hundreds of thousands of vouchers a year.
Mastercard Websites
Symbyte is the implementation partner for Craft Loyalty’s contract with Mastercard, taking ownership of their web presence across three countries.
Live in Four Months
The full backoffice and API were designed, built, and deployed inside Craft's four-month window.
Hundreds of Thousands of Vouchers a Year
The platform now handles that volume in production, connecting redeeming clients with voucher partners through one control tower.
A Trusted Mastercard Implementation Partner
Symbyte now owns the web presence for Craft Loyalty's Mastercard contract across three countries.
One API, Many Partners
The backoffice's API layer lets new redemption partners integrate without re-architecting the core system.
