    Loyalty Management – Overview

    A complete solution ...

    Loyalty Program Management enables set-up and maintenance of loyalty programs. Program

    maintenance includes information about program-related loyalty status levels, set-up and

    maintenance of point accounts, as well as program-specific attributes based on flights, nights

    of stay, dollars spent, frequency of purchases, and so on.

    Loyalty Reward Rule Management includes set-up and maintenance of loyalty rules and

    conditions, campaigns for enrollment and registration – finally being processed by the loyalty

    engine. All points earned and redeemed by members are recorded within the member‘s point

    account.

    Loyalty Membership represents the participation of an individual person in a specific loyalty

    program. Membership is opened by a registration to the loyalty program, either paper-based,

    via web-self service, or call center. It also includes member activities such as flight, hotel stays,

    or sales activities - finally being earned or redeemed as points.

    The Loyalty Management Processing Engine is a highly scalable component to process

    member activities, tier transition evaluation, and point expiration. It is an integrated part of SAP

    CRM and the “heart” of the CRM-based Loyalty Management solution.

    CRM Marketing

    Loyalty Management is embedded in SAP CRM.

    It uses multiple channels to interact with the customer -

    Mainly the CRM Web shop, the Interaction Center, as well as the CRM UI.

    Its objects are web-service-enabled to allow external applications to communicate with

    SAP CRM loyalty management.

    It has already been mentioned that loyalty management is a central component,

    seamlessly integrated in CRM Marketing.

    Loyalty Management from a communication perspective is mainly about processing

    activities, member activities such as flights, trips, ticket purchases, point redemption or

    any other accrual activity; either sent by an external system, entered manually, or

    derived from SAP CRM sales processes. These activities are processed against

    system-specific rules and finally updates a passenger’s tier level, point account, or

    execute any other customer-specific functionality according to the settings and

    definitions that have been made for the loyalty program.
