Client Integration

No. Xoxoday’s employee engagement solution does not require Bluetooth (including BLE), barcode scanning, or device discoverability for any features. The platform is primarily web-based, with a mobile app operating over secure HTTPS connections, so no hardware pairing (Bluetooth, NFC, pincode verification, or barcode scanning) is needed.Specifically, there is no requirement for:
  • Bluetooth or device visibility
  • NFC-based interactions
  • Barcode scanners (e.g., Zebra Datawedge, Scandit)
  • Keyboard emulation or barcode formats
All core functionalities—recognition, rewards, surveys, and engagement actions—work seamlessly via browser or mobile app, making the platform universally accessible across devices without any extra setup.
The Xoxoday R&R platform provides robust third-party integration capabilities to ensure seamless interoperability across enterprise systems.

    • Real-time synchronization of employee records, hierarchy, department, and location data.
    • Supports SFTP, REST APIs, and webhook-based data exchange.
    • Automates onboarding, offboarding, and role management processes.
    • Email, Messaging & Social Tools:
    • Native integrations with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Gmail, and Outlook for notifications, kudos sharing, and milestone celebrations.

The Xoxoday employee engagement solution is designed for multi-device access. The web app is optimized primarily for desktops and tablets, while mobile users access the platform through dedicated Android and iOS apps. These mobile apps provide the full end-user experience available on the web, ensuring consistency across devices.Because of native mobile app support, a fully responsive web design was not prioritized. Users can seamlessly access recognition, surveys, rewards, and social feeds on smartphones, tablets, and laptops without any compromise in functionality.
New versions of Xoxoday’s R&R mobile apps are distributed exclusively via Google Play Store and Apple App Store, ensuring timely updates, secure delivery, and compliance with platform guidelines. Direct .apk distribution is not supported, in line with enterprise-grade security practices.
Xoxoday ensures that R&R solution’s mobile apps remain compatible with the latest operating systems as they are released. There is no fixed lifecycle roadmap published for versions, but backward compatibility is maintained for a significant duration unless the OS version becomes deprecated. As soon as a new Android or iOS version is released, Xoxoday evaluates any compatibility issues and resolves them at the earliest, ensuring business continuity for all users.
Xoxoday mobile apps remain compatible with the latest Android and iOS releases. While there’s no published lifecycle roadmap, backward compatibility is maintained for a significant period unless an OS version is deprecated. Newly released OS versions are evaluated promptly, and any compatibility issues are resolved quickly to ensure uninterrupted user access.
Yes. The Xoxoday R&R tool is fully browser-based (HTML/JavaScript) and does not require any fat clients, plugins, or external software (e.g., .NET frameworks or drivers). Users can access it via modern browsers, and standard endpoint management tools are sufficient for deployment without additional manual configuration.
The Android app ID is com.xoxoday.teams. It does not request unnecessary permissions. Optional permissions, such as access to the camera or storage, are only requested if users want to upload images or attachments within posts, recognitions, or surveys. Core functionality does not require these permissions.
The platform ensures a seamless transition for employees moving between regions by automating profile updates while preserving their history.
  • Automated Sync: Instantly updates the employee’s region, currency, and eligibility rules as soon as their HRIS data changes.
  • Data Continuity: Retains all past recognition, reward balance, and leaderboard standings—ensuring nothing is lost during the move.
  • Localized Compliance: Automatically switches to the new location’s taxation laws and reward catalog availability.
The R&R tool’s mobile app relies on active internet connectivity to function. It does not currently support offline mode. If the network connection is lost, features such as surveys, recognitions, and feed updates will pause. Once connectivity is restored, the app resumes normal operation and syncs the latest data automatically. This real-time sync ensures data integrity and smooth user experience upon reconnection.
The Xoxoday platform is optimized for performance on standard bandwidth networks. A typical 4G mobile or equivalent broadband connection is sufficient to access all features seamlessly. The app is lightweight in data usage and designed for moderate network conditions. No high bandwidth consumption is expected for regular interactions such as posting, recognizing, or browsing feeds.
The Xoxoday social intranet platform supports all modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Opera, and Brave. For optimal experience, it is recommended to use browser versions updated within the last 3–5 years. Legacy browsers, particularly versions older than 5 years or those no longer supported by their vendors, are not guaranteed to work as expected.
  • End user configures the app?
  • Central configuration from your own back-end?
  • Central configuration via EMM tool? In this case: based on configuration file or based on the appConfig standard?
Admins have full control over user access management and platform configurations. Roles and permissions can be managed across four levels: Super Admins, General Admins, Managers, and Users. Client administrators can configure platform settings, but end users cannot modify the interface.
