Sports challenge in your app

Get the whole crew moving — all year round, not for one month

Engaging an athlete is easy. The real challenge is people who don't normally move — and that's who we target. And because we're your company's dedicated app, we engage employees year-round, in different periods and forms, not as a one-off campaign.

At Volkswagen Poznań the number of employees taking part in sports challenges grew from 290 to 850.

Engaging an athlete is easy. The rest is the art.

Most people in a company aren't competitors — they're the long tail: people who sometimes take a walk or a bike ride but don't see themselves as athletes and don't want to compete with marathon runners. It's their engagement that really lifts the numbers — and we built the mechanics around them:

  • Leagues by consistency, not results — you move up for being active, not for being fastest.
  • Weekly mini-challenges with random rewards — everyone has a chance, not just the top.
  • Anonymity — you can take part without showing your results to others.
  • Step counting — walking counts, you don't have to run.
  • Badges — from the very first activity, for an easy start.
Year-round movement

Not a one-off burst, but part of company culture

A one-month campaign isn't enough — enthusiasm fades as soon as it ends. Because we're your company's permanent app, we engage employees all year: different challenges in different periods, seasonal campaigns, ongoing competition in the background.

Under your brand

In your app, not someone else's

The competition runs inside your own app — with your logo and name — not in some random app with someone else's branding. The employee stays in the company's ecosystem.

The sports app from the inside

A full-fledged module inside your app — not a separate app, but part of the company ecosystem:

  • Feed — a social-media-style feed: participants share routes and photos from activities, react and comment. Everyone sees a summary of their results — distance, steps, number of activities — and a 'Recommended for you' section suggests what to watch. This way sport in the company takes on a life of its own instead of being a dry results table.
  • Ranking — year-round individual scoring with positions, points and avatars, plus team competition during challenges. Results can be filtered by discipline — running, cycling, walking and more — so everyone compares with those doing the same. Consistency counts, not just the top, so the ranking motivates rather than discourages.
  • Team challenges — employees form teams and compete together in challenges like a 'Sports Week', with a visible countdown to the finish. The administrator sets group size and duration, and participants join existing teams or create their own. Team competition draws in even those who wouldn't start on their own — because they don't want to let their teammates down.
  • Profile — an employee's personal space with all their activities and details: type, time, distance and route map. Activities can be private or shared publicly, and those from watches and sports apps are imported with one click. The whole movement history in one place.
  • Notifications — motivating reminders, admin messages and news about team successes.

A look at the app

How it works — a turnkey programme

  • 1 We design the challenge with you — goals, mechanics, rewards.
  • 2 We set up the app and materials — graphics, employee communication.
  • 3 We launch and support throughout the whole duration.
  • 4 You get a results report — and we plan the next period.

Mechanics & integrations

Route tracking in the app, automatic duplicate detection, bonus zones and events on the map, plus stationary activities (yoga, gym, dance) confirmed with a photo. No watch needed — a phone is enough.

Fair play

Results you can trust

A competition only makes sense when everyone plays by the same rules. That is why the system automatically verifies submitted activities:

  • Movement type verification - the system analyses the route and recognises when it does not match the declared discipline, for example a car journey submitted as a cycling route. Such activities are cancelled automatically.
  • Step source control - we detect steps added manually in external pedometer apps. Such values are ignored and do not count towards the result.
  • Detection of unusual results - activities that clearly deviate from the norm, exceptionally long or intense, are automatically flagged and reported to administrators for review.

As a result, the ranking reflects real effort and participants can be confident that the competition is fair.

Why movement at work pays off

Employees' physical activity is associated with lower sickness absence, better team integration and higher engagement.

ESG & CSR

Sport that works towards your ESG and CSR goals

A sports challenge is more than engagement — it's concrete value a company can demonstrate in the area of ESG and CSR:

  • Wellbeing and health (the „S” in ESG) — caring for the workforce's fitness and wellbeing is a measurable element of social responsibility.
  • Integration and culture — shared activity builds bonds across departments and locations and strengthens a sense of belonging.
  • Employer branding — an active, engaged workforce is an asset in building the image of a responsible employer.
  • Activity with a purpose — employees' effort can be tied to social or charitable goals, giving the competition deeper meaning.
