The Challenge they faced
Royalty Rewards®’ solution demands constant enhancement and improvements. As technology changes and the industry evolves, it is critical for them to stay ahead of the curve and offer the most up to date solutions while providing a return on investment for their small business clients. Over time it became clear that their previous service provider would not be cost-effective or nimble enough for this continued growth. Further and importantly, Royalty Rewards® would not be able to adequately protect their intellectual property under that partnership.
They needed a custom proprietary application they could control and would work within their budget.
Royalty Rewards® found a new partner to build their custom application, but three years into the project, it became clear they could not complete the project on time, within budget. Royalty Rewards® needed to find a new service partner to get them to the finish line quickly.
The Solution
Royalty Rewards® approached Naico with their challenges. They needed their custom platform completed to a point where current clients could be migrated. After three years of development, their budget and resources were stretched thin. They were frustrated, skeptical and needed a capable partner to provide a short and long-term plan to get them live – fast.

Challenge Accepted.
Royalty Rewards® and Naico moved forward, both cautious as they sought to build a new relationship. One of Naico’s core values is Integrity. They strive to build trust with their clients, to meet timelines and budgets 100% of the time regardless of the cost to them. Long-term partnership and providing impact greater than themselves are their focus.
Naico set out to build that trust and get things operational quickly, hitting deadlines and budgets.
The Complexities
Naico knew the quickest way to get things running and build trust with Royalty Rewards®’ team was to handle the transition in person. They sent a team to Canada to work with the team on-site and get things operational quickly. As this new development was confidential, Naico did not have complete access to the other third-party platform, so they had to tackle the build in a unique way. Naico leveraged their strong technical team to translate the current system and create a short term plan for launch and long-term optimization:
The Short-Term Plan 3 months
- Address core necessary functionalities to push toward a quick go-live timeline.
- Complete positive & smooth migration of customers from the old platform to new.
The Long-Term Plan On-Going Partnership
- Create a new architecture to support easy customizations and scalability.
- Develop new UI and UX for a better customer experience.
- Manage staged development for improvements.
- Execute continuous product release through CI and Agile methodology.
Errors or Failures in launch
The Result
“Naico took us to the finish line as promised.”
– Kathleen Dobin, Vice President
After three years of delays, Naico came in and, in three short months, got the new Royalty Rewards® platform up and operational with all of their customers migrated seamlessly.
Decrease in Software Development
Expense
In 2018, Royalty Rewards® ownership transitioned through a private acquisition. Though the acquisition, Naico remained a trusted partner with the new leaders and team integrating with Royalty Rewards®.
Naico has continued to serve as technical experts and strategic advisors to the Royalty Rewards® team for over eight years as the partnership, first built on trust, continues to grow and expand. On-going schedules are coordinated to match Royalty Rewards®’ operational hours, making responses and support available without delay, based on their needs.
