SaaS Admin Portal, REST APIs, SSO-based white-labeled storefront, SDKs, or iFrames. No-code self-serve or full API control - both supported in one platform.
250+ Integrations
Rewards triggered from MS Teams, Slack, Google Workspace, Workday, SAP, ADP, Darwinbox, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, and Zendesk.
Professional Services
Full onboarding consulting and project management. Dedicated CSM, structured MBRs & QBRs, and AI-powered 24/7/365 support across geographies and time zones.
Feature Comparison
Benepik has built genuine strength in the India enterprise market - particularly across employee R&R, channel incentives, and WhatsApp-led engagement. Gaps emerge when programs need broader global catalog coverage, deeper distribution mechanics, enterprise controls, and developer infrastructure to scale beyond a single region.

Beyond the Platform
Plum is more than a rewards catalog - it's the rewards, incentives, and payouts infrastructure your global programs run on.
At launch, you get dedicated Implementation Engineers, structured onboarding, and project management built around your program calendar - across geographies and time zones. The goal is not just a rollout, but adoption that holds through quarter two and beyond.
Post-launch, a named Customer Success Manager actively drives reward usage, redemption rates, and program ROI - through structured Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews. A 24/7 AI-powered support layer keeps your finance, HR, and ops teams unblocked, backed by a global support team operating across time zones.
On AI, Plum is already shipping today - reward recommendations, program optimization insights, and analytics automation built into the product, not parked on a roadmap. The Xoxoday MCP layer lets your internal AI agents and LLM-powered workflows trigger rewards natively, without custom plumbing. The longer you run Plum, the more leverage your rewards programs gain - across regions, use cases, and finance models.
