Funifier measurably increases your target audience’s engagement (employees’ dedication, clients’ commitment, etc.) with gamification solutions that turn pragmatic into the unexpected, while delivering the performance intelligence needed to exceed your business goals.

Funifier’s proven gamification platform allows you to engage more deeply with your users, customers, employees, partners, and other audiences . What better than to amuse, surprise or challenge your audiences to capture and retain their interest? Funifier inspires the users to collaborate, share, act, and interact in a specified manner during an activity or within a community. Do not make any mistake – Funifier is serious about results!

Tell us about yourself?

When I met my business partner Ricardo, our CTO, it was clear that the gamification platform he had created was ahead of our time back in 2010. So, I decided to jump on board, and we spun off Funifier from his Software Development studio – yeah, we know something about custom software and service delivery. Initially, gamification was a challenge to explain, and people could not understand to what extent it could influence them, their peers, customers, partners, etc.

Today, it is effortless to demonstrate the value to others. Gamification is not just about points, badges, leaderboards, scorecards, etc. This just scratches the surface, and those results never last long. Gamification is about creating meaningful, engaging experiences for the end-user. And that takes knowledge.

If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?

If I could go back 2 years, I would say “invest in real estate.” 🙂

What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?

Over the next 5 years, we want to scale our sales efforts and double our YRR on a year-to-year basis. This might not sound aggressive enough to some, but to us, it’s sustainable.

What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?

Everyone has overused the word Gamification. Thus, the biggest challenge we face even today is getting folks to understand what Gamification is and how they can benefit from it. We like to call this “end-user engagement.”

How can people get involved?

At Funifier we offer a multitude of solutions:

  • Gamification Platform
  • Gamification Strategies
  • Gamification Design
  • Training and Support

We are always happy to discuss how Gamification or End-User Engagement helps companies attain their results. Sometimes, it would be in the form of a 3-day workshop; other times, it is a full-blown 5-day strategy session to help the customer build the first version of their engagement strategy.

Either way, we are happy to help. Reach us through our website www.funifier.com or by emailing us at info@funifier.com to speak directly to someone from our team.
