We all have an innate need to feel autonomous; to feel that we are in control of our own interests, and to choose our own course of action.
Enhance Activities
We apply the characteristics of game elements to enhance activities and processes, making them more engaging and fulfilling.
Reassure Competence
We all have an innate need to feel competence - to feel that one does things well or can improve one's ability.
Gamify Operations
We use game-design elements and game principles in non-game contexts like supply chain and commerce operations.
Gamify Engagement
We inspire your employees on a whole new level with real engagement based on research conducted to find out exactly what motivates people to do a great job.

We set individual and team-based goals, with tracking and achievement features that provide real-time feedback to the workforce.

Continuously monitor and review performance at the individual resource level to establish real-time standards for performance benchmarks.
Gamification in Warehouse Management
Manhattan's goal is not to create digital games for the warehouse, but to instead gamify the entire DC itself. Every task – like picking, packing, and slotting – is embedded with gamification techniques to help associates achieve new personal records for performance.

-
Find and Keep Skilled Workers
Retaining a workforce is easier when teams are engaged and inspired by having more fun at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you wanted to know about behavioral intelligence.
Gamification is the use of game elements and mechanics, such as points, badges, and leaderboards, in non-game contexts in order to engage and motivate people to achieve their goals.
Gamification can be used to inspire people to learn new skills, complete tasks, adopt new behaviors, and increase employee productivity.
Motivational Determination Theory posits that there are three types of goals that people pursue: competence goals related to the desire to acquire new skills or knowledge, relatedness goals related to the desire to form and maintain social connections, and autonomy goals related to the desire to act independently and have control over one's own life.
Motivational Determination Theory suggests that people are more likely to be motivated and engaged when they have the necessary resources and support to achieve their goals, and when they feel that their goals are congruent with their values and self-perceptions.
