Pluxee Case Study | Runa
About Pluxee

With a diverse portfolio of rewards, incentives, and benefits, Pluxee is dedicated to creating meaningful impact. Pluxee help businesses foster workplaces where people feel valued, engaged, and supported through personalised, sustainable experiences at work and beyond.


With an ever-growing demand for digital gift cards across employee discounts, employee rewards, and consumer incentives, Pluxee needed a scalable, efficient, and centralised solution to manage its expansive catalogue of retail partners while maintaining seamless reward distribution.


The challenge

Before working with Runa, Pluxee faced several operational roadblocks in its reward fulfilment process. 

  •  Limited scalability: Managing a large catalog of gift card stock was time-intensive and restricted Pluxee’s ability to expand its brand offerings.
  • Fragmented supplier management: Relying on multiple suppliers complicated invoicing, onboarding, and fulfillment processes.
  • Administrative burden: A significant amount of time was spent on operational and administrative tasks rather than building stronger relationships with retail partners.

While Pluxee considered other providers and even explored building an in-house solution, they needed a partner who could deliver both the technology and operational efficiencies required to support their growing needs.

The solution

To streamline its fulfillment process and unlock new efficiencies, Pluxee partnered with Runa to power its reward distribution. By integrating the Runa API, Pluxee was able to: 

  • Expand its offering: Gain access to hundreds of merchants without the need to manage eVoucher stock manually.
  • Centralise management: Consolidate all retailer content, fulfillment, and updates into a single system rather than juggling multiple platforms.
  • Automate reward distribution: Deliver digital gift cards instantly to customers across multiple sectors with a seamless API call.

Importantly, working with Runa allowed Pluxee to maintain direct relationships with its retail partners while benefiting from the efficiency and scale that Runa’s network provided.
