Why Companies Choose Xoxoday
Ten capabilities that Reachdesk doesn't offer - and that enterprise reward programs can't afford to go without.
True Global Infrastructure
100+ countries, multi-currency, purchase parity, 50+ languages, local tax governance, and flexible data residency across public, private, and on-premise clouds.
Value for Money & Lower TCO
Best-price catalog with no hidden markups. On Generation and On Redemption billing models to match how your finance team operates.
Extensive Catalog
30+ categories across 100+ countries - gift cards, prepaid cards, flights, hotels, experiences, lounges, air miles, charity, mobile top-ups, wellness, and custom rewards. No middlemen.
Amazon Partnership
Direct redemption on Amazon in the US, UK, India, Spain, and Germany. Recipients shop on Amazon's actual website. No other rewards platform offers this.
One Platform for Every Reward Use Case
Employee rewards, consumer promotions, channel incentives, survey rewards, instant payouts, and loyalty programs - without stitching together multiple vendors.
Built-In Enterprise-Grade Controls
Role-based access, budget thresholds, maker-checker workflows, reward rule engine, country-level controls, and approval schedules - built for 50,000+ employee enterprises.
AI Copilot Across the Platform
AI-powered reward recommendations, program optimization, insights and analytics, and automation built into the product - not bolted on.
Unmatched Deployment Flexibility
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
Reachdesk is a credible ABM and direct-mail gifting platform - strong for revenue teams running branded-swag and physical gift campaigns across the US, UK, and EU. Gaps emerge when enterprises need a single platform that spans employee rewards, consumer promotions, channel incentives, instant payouts, and loyalty - delivered globally with developer-grade infrastructure and enterprise governance.

Beyond the Platform
When you choose Plum, you're not just buying a gifting tool - you're buying an engagement infrastructure your entire company can build on.
At launch, you get dedicated Implementation Engineers, structured onboarding, promotion kits, and adoption workshops - built to ensure every use case (employee rewards, consumer promotions, channel incentives, payouts) goes live cleanly, not as an ABM bolt-on that the rest of the business has to rebuild a year later.
Post-launch, a named Customer Success Manager actively drives program health across every team using Plum - with targeted campaigns, structured Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews, and reconciliation support. A 24/7 AI-powered support bot keeps your teams unblocked across every geography and time zone - not just US business hours.
On AI, Plum is already ahead. AI-powered reward recommendations, program optimization, and analytics are live today. Xoxoday MCP - our Model Context Protocol layer - gives your LLMs and AI agents native access to the rewards engine, so your internal AI workflows can trigger and manage rewards programmatically. That's infrastructure Reachdesk doesn't currently offer.
