Applause overview

What is Applause?

Applause is an employee engagement software platform designed for field service companies seeking to enhance team performance and customer satisfaction. The system features real-time scorecards that provide managers with immediate visibility into employee performance metrics without requiring extensive data analysis. These scorecards establish clear expectations for service professionals while simultaneously tracking their achievements against key performance indicators.

The platform incorporates automated incentive mechanisms that streamline the process of collecting and attributing customer reviews to specific employees. This automation eliminates the manual labor previously required to match feedback with staff members and enables instant bonus distribution when employees generate positive customer experiences. Applause also facilitates digital tipping, allowing customers to directly reward exceptional service while providing valuable feedback that contributes to improved Net Promoter Scores and online reputation management.
