eMart Solutions, a leading loyalty and customer engagement firm, has won the 'Best Use of Gamification to Enhance Loyalty' award for its program 'Polycab Bandhan' at the 8^th Loyalty Awards ceremony, held last evening at The Lalit, Mumbai.

Polycab, India's number one cables and wires company, partnered with eMart Solutions to launch a loyalty program called 'Polycab Bandhan' a year and a half ago. This is a program specifically designed to establish a direct connect with the influencers, who play a major role in choosing the brand of wires for the consumers, viz. the electricians. The program uses eMart Solutions' FirstHive^TM technology to gamify the whole engagement metrics and enables Polycab to discover, access, analyse and act on insights from the customers' data in real time. This gives them the critical capability to nudge their electricians' community with relevant content, at the right time and via the right communication media to deliver incremental ROI. The data is geo-tagged, giving information about the types of products sold from a particular store in a particular region.

Speaking at the awards evening, Aditya Bhamidipaty, Co-Founder and CEO, eMart Solutions said, "It gives us great pleasure to accept this award today. This is a validation of the capability and competence of eMart Solutions and the trust placed in us by our clients. We are happy that our work made 'Polycab Bandhan' one of the most exciting loyalty and engagement programs in its category. Data driven engagement has made this program a leader in the 'Gamification' space. eMart's FirstHive^TM technology platform captured Polycab's data in real time and gamified the whole communication process to encourage more frequent and deeper engagement with their influencer base."

Shashank Pore, CMO, Polycab said, "eMart Solutions understood our brief, our challenge and designed a loyalty program for our electricians, deploying their robust platform. They simplified the complex nature of transactions and made it much easy for a blue collared skilled professional to understand, enroll and move ahead in the program lifecycle. The results we witnessed were astounding. Due to continuous engagement, we were able to connect with our electricians' community better, build a dialogue with them, track tertiary sales and drive our sales goals."

Shashank further added that the program has resulted in measurable changes in electricians' behaviour towards Polycab and has significantly impacted the company's bottom line.
