The problem with disconnected tools
Most redemption stores break the moment they scale
Program-store point solutions offer a store, but no budget engine, no approval workflow, no inventory visibility, and no supplier connection. When a redemption program grows beyond a few hundred employees, manual workarounds multiply fast.
The old way
- Budget spreadsheets maintained manually, out of sync by day two
- Artwork approval handled by email, with no audit trail or version history
- Supplier catalog updates require a separate upload every time stock changes
- No reporting on who redeemed what, or whether the program hit its targets
- The redemption store is an island: no connection to business-to-business ordering or direct-to-consumer catalog
With Redefine
- Per-user allowances, department budgets, and rollover rules managed in the platform
- Artwork proofing, revision, and sign-off inside the same workflow with full audit log
- Supplier catalog synced via product information management: one update propagates to every storefront instantly
- Budget utilization, redemption rates, and participant activity in one dashboard
- Same platform powers business-to-business wholesale, direct-to-consumer storefront, and redemption stores simultaneously
How it works
Before and after: a redemption program on a unified platform
Toggle between the fragmented approach and what your team sees when every store, budget, approval, and report lives in one system.
Spreadsheet budgets
Budget tracked in Excel. Employee spend manually compared each week. Overages caught after checkout.
Alice M.$142 / $150
Bob K.$165 / $150 OVER
Carol S.$80 / $150
Email approvals
Artwork shared via email thread. 3 rounds of revisions. No one knows which file is approved.

Redemption rate unknown until quarter-end manual export. Program return on investment impossible to calculate in real time.

Key capabilities
Everything your redemption program needs to run itself
From storefront configuration to fulfillment, every capability is built into one platform. Your team manages programs, not integrations.
Multi-store administration from one admin
Run a company swag store, an employee incentive portal, and a dealer-branded storefront from a single admin interface. Each store has its own catalog, branding, budget rules, and user permissions. No separate accounts, no separate platforms.

Budget and allowance engine
Set per-user allowances, department-level budgets, rollover rules, and expiration dates. Allowance balances are enforced at checkout in real time. The same account hierarchy used for business-to-business credit limits powers your program budgets.
Engineering Dept$28,200 / $35,000
Marketing Dept$9,600 / $10,000
Sales Team$14,500 / $25,000
Proof and approval workflows
Digital proofing with version control, revision notes, and stakeholder sign-off. Approved files route automatically to the supplier. Full audit log for every decision. No email threads, no missing files.
Points and rewards redemption
Connect your existing points or rewards platform to the storefront. Employees see their balance, apply points at checkout, and receive confirmation without leaving the store experience.
Program reporting and analytics
Real-time dashboards show redemption rate, budget utilization, top-performing items, and participant activity. Order management system fulfillment status and product information management data are visible in the same view. No manual reporting, no fragmented exports.

Business-to-business and direct-to-consumer on the same platform
Your redemption store, wholesale business-to-business portal, and public direct-to-consumer storefront all run from one Redefine platform and one admin. No separate systems, no data silos, no duplicate product data. This is the only platform in the market where all three co-exist natively.
From program setup to first redemption
From signed statement of work to live redemption store in 10 days
Your program is configured, approved, and ready for participants in under two weeks. Redefine handles setup, data import, and testing. Your team spends 3 to 4 hours per week across the entire onboarding.

Sales incentive programs

Integrations and ecosystem fit
Connected to every system your program depends on
Redemption stores work best when they share data with the rest of your stack. Redefine connects natively to the platforms your operations already use.
Product Information Management
Product data, supplier catalog, and decorated item specs flow from the product information management system into every storefront. One update propagates everywhere.
See Product Information ManagementOrder Management System
Orders placed in the redemption store route through the order management system to the right supplier, decorator, or fulfillment center. Status updates reach participants automatically.
See Order Management SystemBusiness-to-Business Commerce
The same platform powers business-to-business wholesale ordering for your trade accounts. One product catalog, one admin, different buyer experiences. No duplication.
See Business-to-Business CommerceAnalytics and Reporting
Budget utilization, redemption rates, and participant activity reported alongside business-to-business order data and direct-to-consumer revenue in one unified analytics view.
See Program ReportingWhy Redefine is different
Program-store tools stop at the store. Redefine goes all the way to operations.
Other program-store platforms handle the storefront well. But when your program grows, you need budget enforcement, artwork governance, supplier connections, and real-time analytics. That depth is not available as a bolt-on.

Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers ask before choosing a redemption store platform
Yes. Redefine is the only platform where a redemption store, a business-to-business wholesale portal, and a public direct-to-consumer storefront operate from the same system and the same admin. Product data, inventory, and order routing are shared. You never duplicate a catalog or manage separate platforms.
Each participant's allowance balance is tracked in real time. At checkout, the platform validates that the cart total does not exceed the remaining balance. If it does, the participant sees their balance and is prompted to adjust the order before proceeding. Admins can set expiration dates, rollover rules, and department-level caps. The allowance system draws from the same account hierarchy used for business-to-business credit limits.
When a proof is approved, the platform routes the approved artwork file and order details to the assigned supplier through the order management system. There is no manual download and re-upload step. The entire flow from participant order to supplier notification is handled inside Redefine. Every revision, comment, and sign-off is stored with a timestamp in the audit log.
Yes. Points and reward systems connect via application programming interface. Balances are pulled at session start and displayed in the store. At checkout, the participant applies points and the balance is decremented through the integration. The platform supports a range of points-to-currency conversion rules and display formats configured per program.
Most stores launch within 10 business days of sign-off. The onboarding sequence is: platform configuration (days 1 to 3), product catalog import and artwork setup (days 4 to 6), budget rules and user import (days 7 to 8), user acceptance testing and stakeholder sign-off (days 9 to 10), go-live. Your team's required investment is 3 to 4 hours per week across the process. Redefine manages all build and configuration tasks.
