This success story outlines how Incepta helped a large, enterprise-scale loyalty ecosystem modernize its digital experience through Loyalty Program Integration powered by MuleSoft. The client needed real-time visibility into member points activity across multiple partner banners, categories, and earning products, something their existing architecture could not support. By designing and implementing a secure, API-led integration between the member engagement platform and Snowflake, Incepta delivered a scalable solution that improved transparency, engagement, and long-term program value.
The objective was to enable a centralized, real-time view of loyalty points across categories, banners, and earning products directly within the member engagement platform.
- The initiative focused on eliminating batch-based data delays and enabling near real-time access to points data from Snowflake.
- Our client aimed to improve member transparency by introducing banner-level and category-level breakdowns without impacting backend performance.
- Another key goal was to establish a scalable Loyalty Program Integration framework that could support future enhancements without rework.
Our client is a well-established Canadian loyalty and rewards platform serving millions of active members through a broad partner ecosystem spanning grocery, retail, fuel, and financial services. With a strong digital footprint and a growing partner network, our client continues to invest in technology platforms that strengthen member trust, data transparency, and long-term loyalty growth.
Industry: Loyalty & Rewards, Retail, Financial Services
- Members did not have a unified view of their total points or earning history across banners and categories within the digital platform.
- Points data was refreshed through scheduled jobs rather than real-time access, limiting transparency and engagement.
- There was no banner-level visibility showing where points were earned, reducing member understanding of high-value partner brands.
- The absence of direct integration between the engagement platform and Snowflake created data accessibility gaps and operational constraints.
We designed and implemented a secure, API-led Loyalty Program Integration using MuleSoft, enabling real-time access to loyalty data stored in Snowflake. The solution was built to improve member transparency, support enterprise-scale performance, and allow future enhancements without architectural rework.
Key solution components included:
- Designing a MuleSoft Experience API to expose consolidated loyalty points data to the member engagement platform
- Enabling near real-time data retrieval from Snowflake to replace batch-based visibility
- Introducing banner-level and category-level breakdowns to clearly show where and how points were earned
- Implementing flexible filtering logic to support lifetime points views and future time-based reporting
- Securing all API interactions using JWT-based B2C authentication and traceability headers
- Following an API-led connectivity approach to ensure clean separation between experience, process, and system layers
- Building the integration to scale seamlessly as new partners, banners, and earning models are added
This Loyalty Program Integration established a reliable, secure, and scalable foundation that improved transparency for members while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and governance.
