The Challenge

What they were up against

Markchem sells construction chemicals through a distributor → applicator → contractor chain. Rewarding the people who actually apply the product — often at job sites, not desks — meant reaching thousands of contractors who wanted cash, not vouchers, and wanted it fast. Manual coupon processing and bank transfers were slow, fraud-prone, and impossible to scale.

  • Distributor-applicator-contractor hierarchy with different reward rules per tier

  • Payouts needed to be instant and digital — UPI, not bank transfers

  • Coupon fraud: duplicate scans, expired coupons, unauthorized redemption

  • No audit trail for regulators or internal finance

Our Approach

How we moved in

We built a production Android app plus admin platform that runs the entire loyalty program: batch scratch-card generation, QR scanning with fraud protection, tiered reward accounting, and direct UPI payouts to verified applicators.

  • Native-feel Android app for in-field coupon scanning + points wallet

  • Batch scratch-card generator for the admin team — thousands of codes per run

  • Separate redeemable vs non-redeemable points buckets (expired coupons auto-demote)

  • UPI payout integration so contractors get paid the day they claim

What we built

The solution, in detail

01

QR / scratch-card scanning with duplicate-scan protection and expiry enforcement

02

Points transfer between distributors and between applicators — tier-aware rules

03

Gift redemption flow with admin approval and notifications

04

Full audit trail of every code generated, scanned, redeemed, and paid out

Business Impact

The outcomes that matter

Live in production with 10,000+ downloads on Google Play

Applicators get cash to their UPI account the same day — loyalty that actually feels rewarding

Fraud attempts (duplicate scans, expired codes) stopped at the app layer, not after payout

Markchem's growth team can run nationwide campaigns without a finance bottleneck

Qilin Lab built us a loyalty system our applicators actually use. Scan a card, get paid to UPI the same day — that simplicity is what turned a scheme into a real channel.
