DATS Incentives & Rewards vs Guusto

DATS Incentives & Rewards is a paid module for motivating teams with configurable points and an internal rewards catalog. Organizations define which activities earn points, how many, who qualifies, and which conditions apply. Rules can differ by user, group, area, team, job, role, or sub-account, with automatic awards based on activity. Qualifying work includes forms, inspections, incident reports, hazard assessments, meetings, observations, tasks, and training compliance. Companies create the catalog and set each reward’s point cost; users view balances, progress, and available rewards. The module tracks earned points, redemptions, account balances, incentive performance, and point leaders. Point caps can limit repetitive submissions, and administrators can add or subtract points manually. It connects with DATS operational modules and supports webhooks and a RESTful API. Android and iOS mobile apps support offline work that syncs later. Pricing is on request; subscriptions are month to month.
