Use cases

Every water reward mechanic. Every market.

Water utilities across Africa face common challenges: late payments, high arrears, and low digital adoption. QIFTS reward programmes address all three — automatically, at scale.

💧

On-time bill payment rewards

Issue a reward card to customers who pay their water bill before the due date. Consistently reduces late payment rates. Triggered automatically on payment confirmation.

💧

Water conservation incentives

Reward households that reduce monthly water consumption versus the prior period. Measured against meter data. Reduces pressure on constrained water systems.

💧

Leak reporting rewards

Issue reward cards to customers who report leaks, broken infrastructure, or illegal connections via your app or USSD line. Crowd-sources infrastructure monitoring at low cost.

💧

Digital payment adoption

Reward customers who switch from in-person to mobile or online payment. Reduces collection costs and cash handling for the utility.

💧

Meter reading submission

Reward customers who submit their own meter readings via USSD or WhatsApp on time each month — reduces field agent visits significantly.

💧

New connection referral

Reward existing customers who refer new formal connections in informal or peri-urban settlements — expands coverage and formalises usage.
