Hitachi, a leader known for its innovation and high-quality products, sought to create a loyalty program that would engage installers while improving overall service quality. They understood that an efficient, modern system could boost installer motivation and align their efforts with the company’s broader goals.

To bring this vision to life, Hitachi partnered with Lizard Global, a leading software development company renowned for creating tailored, user-focused solutions. Together, they developed the Hitachi airPartners Reward App, a state-of-the-art platform that streamlines the process of rewarding installers and enhances the efficiency of the program for administrators.

The Vision Behind Hitachi airPartners Reward

The Hitachi airPartners Reward app represents a significant leap forward in loyalty program design. It not only simplifies the process for installers but also provides admins with powerful tools to track claims, manage rewards, and gather valuable insights. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and focusing on user-centric design, this app is reshaping how loyalty programs operate in the air conditioning industry, benefiting both installers and administrators alike.

By turning hard work into tangible benefits, Hitachi has created a system that acknowledges and appreciates the vital role installers play in keeping homes and businesses comfortable.

The Challenge: Manual Processes and Inefficiency

Before the launch of the Hitachi airPartners Reward app, the entire process of submitting claims and managing rewards was manual and inefficient, creating significant challenges for both installers and administrators.

Challenges Faced by Installers

Installers, who are the backbone of the air conditioning installation industry, faced a cumbersome and time-consuming process when it came to claiming their rewards. They were required to manually submit claims through a website, filling out forms and providing detailed information for each completed installation. This process was not only tedious but also prone to delays, as installers had to wait for admin approval before they could receive credit for their work.

The lack of real-time tracking also left installers in the dark about the status of their claims. There was no way to quickly verify whether their claim had been processed, which added uncertainty and frustration to an already complex process. Additionally, as installers were often on the go and working in the field, accessing and completing these claims through a website was not always convenient or efficient.

Challenges Faced by Administrators

On the administrative side, the Hitachi airPartners Reward program also struggled with inefficiencies. Admins were responsible for sorting and categorizing a large volume of claims manually. Each submission had to be reviewed, validated, and entered into a system, which was a time-intensive task.

As the volume of claims increased, this manual approach created a backlog, causing delays in processing and rewarding installers. The process was not only slow but also left significant room for human error, leading to inaccuracies in claim records, reward assignments, and overall program management.

The lack of a centralized platform to track claims, process rewards, and manage communications made the entire system inefficient and difficult to scale. The manual nature of these tasks meant that admins had limited time to focus on higher-priority responsibilities such as program optimization and engagement strategies.

The Need for Change

It became clear that the existing system was hindering the potential growth of the program and was not sustainable in the long term. The need for a streamlined, user-friendly platform that could automate claim submissions, track rewards in real time, and provide both installers and admins with clear visibility into the process was evident.

That’s where Lizard Global stepped in. Understanding the pain points faced by both installers and admins, we set out to develop a solution that would address these challenges and bring the loyalty program into the modern age with technology that could make processes more efficient, reduce human error, and enhance the overall user experience. By transforming the manual workflows into an intuitive, automated digital experience, Lizard Global helped Hitachi move towards a more effective and scalable loyalty program that would benefit both installers and administrators alike.

The Solution: A User-Friendly App and Admin Portal

The Hitachi airPartners Reward app was designed to simplify the entire process, from claim submission to reward redemption bringing about significant impact to both admins and installers. Lizard Global worked closely with Hitachi to develop a mobile app for installers and an admin portal for seamless program management.

Here's how the app has transformed the experience for each group:

For Installers:

• Hassle-Free Claim Submission: Installers no longer have to submit claims manually through forms or websites. The app provides an easy-to-use interface to quickly submit claims for each completed installation, ensuring their efforts are properly credited.
• Real-Time Tracking: Installers can track the status of their claims in real-time, allowing them to know when their claims are processed and how many points they’ve accumulated. This visibility helps them stay engaged and motivated throughout the program.
• Points-Based Reward System: Installers earn points for every successful installation, which they can later redeem for exciting rewards. This system incentivizes high performance and creates a tangible way for installers to be recognized for their hard work.
• Increased Motivation & Engagement: By offering rewards based on successful claims, the app encourages installers to complete more installations, boosting overall program participation and installer satisfaction.
• Mobile Access & Flexibility: Installers can manage their rewards program directly from their mobile devices, making it easier to interact with the system from any location, at any time, without being tied to a desktop or physical paperwork.
  

For Admins:

• Streamlined Claim Review Process: The admin portal eliminates the need for manual review of each claim. Admins can easily access, review, and approve claims in a fraction of the time it would take manually, speeding up the entire process.
• Reduced Manual Workload: Automating claims and reward processing significantly reduces the amount of administrative work, freeing up time for admins to focus on higher-level tasks such as program optimization and communication with installers.
• Data Analytics & Insights:Admins can access detailed analytics on claim trends, installer performance, and reward redemptions, which helps them make data-driven decisions to improve the program. They can track which rewards are most popular and adjust offerings to maximize engagement.
• User Management & Communication Tools: The admin portal includes powerful tools for managing installer accounts, monitoring progress, and communicating updates or changes to the loyalty program. Admins can send messages, reminders, or notifications directly to installers, ensuring timely communication.
• Program Optimization: The analytics dashboard empowers admins to optimize the program’s offerings and reward structure based on installer behavior, helping to maintain program momentum and ensure installers remain engaged over time.
  

By simplifying processes for both installers and administrators, the Hitachi airPartners Reward app enhances efficiency, boosts installer motivation, and enables smarter decision-making for Hitachi’s loyalty program.
