Simplified competition management

Create, edit, and track active, scheduled, and past competitions from a single dashboard with no extra admin work required.

Build competitions around what matters

Choose from any KPI available in the Applause platform and tailor competitions to specific teams (residential tech, commercial tech, customer service) so goals feel relevant and fair.

Real-time standings that drive engagement

Technicians can see live updates directly in the app, keeping motivation high and performance transparent throughout the competition.

Location vs Location Competitions

Run location and region competitions where entire teams compete together. Create friendly rivalries between branches or run company-wide challenges across all locations. Individual contributions automatically roll up to location and regional totals—perfect for multi-branch companies looking to drive collective performance.

Drive change, fast

Competitions aren’t just for recognition; they’re a powerful way to influence outcomes. When a key metric starts to lag, create a targeted challenge to re-engage your team and see results in real time.

Automated, seamless payouts

Applause automatically delivers bonuses to winners as soon as competitions end. Recognition is instant, and admins save hours of manual work.

Celebrate wins, track results

Every bonus and recognition flows into existing reports and employee histories, making it easy to celebrate achievements and measure impact over time.
