Chop Dawg partnered with C.A. Short Company—an industry leader in employee engagement—to program an innovative mobile experience that brings the People Are Everything™ recognition platform directly to your team’s fingertips. Utilizing design assets provided by C.A. Short’s in‑house design team, our expert programming delivered a robust, mobile‑first solution on both iPhone and Android. Our work elevates employee recognition, streamlines reward redemption, and drives engagement across organizations, reinforcing C.A. Short’s legacy as a transformative force in the industry.
For over 85 years, C.A. Short Company has empowered organizations to celebrate and reward their most valuable asset—their people. Recognizing that modern employee engagement requires more than traditional tools, C.A. Short envisioned a mobile platform that not only delivers instant recognition but also integrates custom eCards, rewards shopping, social sharing, and robust data tracking. With Chop Dawg’s programming expertise, we transformed this vision into a powerful, scalable mobile solution that connects employees, enhances morale, and drives organizational success.
In an ever-changing digital landscape, delivering a cohesive, user-centric employee recognition platform posed significant challenges. C.A. Short Company needed a solution that would integrate multiple functionalities—such as interactive dashboards, eCard exchanges, rewards redemption, and real-time data tracking—while leveraging design assets provided by their expert in‑house team. Additionally, ensuring flawless performance on both iOS and Android required meticulous programming and rigorous quality assurance. Our task was to bring all these elements together into a single, intuitive mobile experience that would not only meet, but exceed, the expectations of organizations and their employees.
In this strategic partnership, Chop Dawg focused solely on programming—translating C.A. Short’s detailed design assets into a fully functional mobile app for iPhone and Android. Our process was built on clear, ongoing communication via weekly Zoom sessions, a dedicated Slack channel, and collaborative tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and GitHub. With a committed in‑house team to work as an extension of theirs, we integrated the provided designs with the backend APIs and infrastructure supplied by C.A. Short. This meticulous, collaborative process ensured that every interactive element—from the custom profiles and eCards to the rewards shopping experience and data tracking dashboard—functioned flawlessly, reinforcing C.A. Short’s mission to inspire and engage.
People Are Everything delivers an immersive, mobile-first recognition platform that transforms employee engagement through intuitive design and robust functionality:
Employees access a dynamic dashboard that displays personal engagement scores, recognition history, and real-time updates—empowering them to track progress and celebrate achievements at a glance.
The app facilitates the seamless exchange of eCards and instant award cards, allowing colleagues to recognize each other quickly and meaningfully—fostering a culture of appreciation and positivity.
Users can browse and redeem loyalty points for a curated selection of rewards, transforming recognition into tangible benefits that motivate and delight.
Built‑in social features enable employees to share recognition moments, connect with peers, and build a vibrant community—reinforcing the message that every individual matters.
Beyond core recognition, our solution integrates powerful administrative and analytical tools that empower organizations to monitor impact and drive continuous improvement:
A robust analytics dashboard provides real-time insights into user activity, recognition trends, and ROI—enabling informed decision‑making and continuous improvement of engagement strategies.
Our mobile solution is built on cutting‑edge frameworks that ensure flawless performance across iOS and Android, integrating seamlessly with C.A. Short’s backend APIs and scaling effortlessly as user engagement grows.
Complemented by an engaging WordPress marketing website, the platform delivers a cohesive digital presence that reinforces the C.A. Short brand and enhances customer support and outreach.
Chop Dawg’s commitment to C.A. Short Company extended far beyond programming. We provided continuous strategic oversight and technical expertise throughout every phase of the project:
Leveraging 16+ years of app development expertise, our team flawlessly programmed the mobile apps—ensuring that every feature, from interactive dashboards to real-time recognition tools, functions seamlessly.
Our dedicated QA team meticulously tested each milestone, ensuring the final product met the highest standards of performance and reliability, and that it was ready for submission to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
We maintained an open line of communication throughout the project, using tools like Slack, JIRA, and Confluence. Our approach ensured that C.A. Short Company was kept informed and engaged, with dedicated support available from our project managers and technical leads.
Throughout this project, our teams remained in constant communication via weekly Zoom sessions, direct Slack channels, and real‑time JIRA updates. This agile, transparent process allowed us to rapidly address feedback and refine each element of the application—from the intuitive user interface to the powerful rewards system—resulting in a digital solution that truly embodies the People Are Everything™ ethos.
Chop Dawg delivered a complete digital ecosystem for C.A. Short Company, including fully programmed mobile applications for iPhone and Android, an integrated web‑based administrative portal, and a compelling marketing website. Our work encompassed detailed programming based on in‑house design assets, rigorous quality assurance, and a seamless integration with backend systems—ensuring a unified and transformative user experience.
Our solution operates flawlessly on the latest iOS and Android platforms, meeting all required security and data protocols. By seamlessly integrating with C.A. Short’s backend APIs and leveraging advanced frameworks like React Native, we built a robust system that supports real‑time data, enhances user engagement, and scales to meet growing demand—ensuring that every interaction on the platform is both secure and inspiring.
Post‑launch, C.A. Short Company benefits from a complimentary maintenance window and bug warranty. Comprehensive documentation—including detailed programming logic, UI/UX design files, and system architecture—empowers the C.A. Short team to independently manage and scale the application. This ensures long‑term success and the agility to adapt as employee engagement needs evolve.
I have really enjoyed working with the Chop Dawg team. They are always on top of what we need to provide them. I’m really happy with how the mobile app is turning out!
