Xoxoday Empuls supports a unified reward marketplace where organisations can feature proprietary in-house rewards alongside a global catalog of third-party gift cards, experiences, and merchandise — all within a single, configurable storefront.
Building your in-house catalog
The in-house catalog is where your organisation adds proprietary rewards that reflect your culture and brand. These can include custom company merchandise, internal experiences such as a lunch with a senior leader, additional paid leave, or organisation-specific perks that carry meaning beyond their monetary value. Because these items live in the same storefront as external options, employees experience a seamless, unified marketplace rather than two disconnected systems.Integrating third-party redemption options
Alongside internal rewards, Xoxoday Empuls connects to a global catalog of third-party options — including gift cards from hundreds of international and local brands, curated experiences, merchandise, and wellness vouchers. These options broaden appeal across a diverse, distributed workforce where employee preferences vary significantly by geography, age group, and lifestyle. HR teams retain full visibility and control over which third-party categories are made available to employees.A practical example
Consider an organisation running Workday or SAP SuccessFactors for HR operations. When a recognition milestone is triggered — say, a five-year work anniversary — the reward notification surfaces through Microsoft Teams or Slack, and the employee is taken directly to the Xoxoday Empuls marketplace. There, they can choose between a company-specific reward such as a branded gift hamper or a third-party option such as an Amazon gift card or a travel experience voucher. Both live side by side in the same catalog, configured and governed by the HR or finance team.Why a blended catalog strategy works
A combined catalog aligns financial oversight with employee autonomy. HR teams control which in-house items appear, set point values, and manage availability, while third-party options provide the breadth required by a global workforce. This is especially valuable for organisations operating across multiple countries, where a single in-house catalog would not adequately serve all regional preferences. Xoxoday Empuls maintains data security across the entire marketplace, built to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 standards — meaning both in-house and third-party redemption workflows operate within a governed, auditable environment that satisfies enterprise compliance requirements.Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — Redemption
