Overview

Program-Ace layered gamification onto a large Ukrainian farm management system, adding daily quests, achievements, a leaderboard, and a soft currency that converts to real money, so managers and agronomists who had ignored the pilot started using the app every day.

The challenge

The management system had passed its pilot but adoption stalled: low engagement and uneven working literacy among farm managers. The client wanted to speed up onboarding, build managerial skills, motivate younger staff, and surface and reward the top performers.

The solution

Program-Ace built a gamification layer that ties real farm tasks to rewards.

Daily login rewards to build a habit.
Daily quests tied to real farm management tasks.
Monthly achievements and seasonal campaign events.
A leaderboard that makes progress and top performers visible.
A soft currency that converts to real money.
Technology and approach

How we built it

Built with Xamarin and C# for one shared codebase across iOS and Android, the gamification layer ties quests and rewards directly to the tasks the management system already tracks, so a manager earns soft currency by doing real fieldwork well and converts it to real money, which is what drove daily use.
