However, dissatisfaction with their existing vendor’s user interface, communication tools, and customer service prompted them to seek a more efficient and user-friendly solution.

The client adopted PAW’s Channel Incentive Solution to effectively motivate and reward eligible salons and stylists for purchasing participating products. The platform delivered a seamless experience for both participants and administrators, improving program engagement and operational efficiency.
