Architecture

A modern architecture informed by decades of loyalty strategy

By leveraging best-of-breed technology and building cloud-native service, the KALC platform scales to fit your needs. This starts with your own instance deployed across multiple regions, wherever you need us to be. And, keeping our promise to properly secure your customer’s data, KALC also isolates your data from other clients.

Whether using our member experience or integrating with your own, the individual business services are the same, and they are fully available through an API, batch, messaging, or streaming service. These business services run as immutable Docker containers, orchestrated by Kubernetes, allow KALC to handle whatever traffic, and spikes, your program delivers. Redundancy throughout the architecture ensures that your customers have access to your program whenever and wherever they need it.

From log-in to redemption, KALC is proactively monitored for availability and security. New Relic and Pingdom alert us of any abnormalities and take action as needed. Further, Rapid7 and Qualys keep a constant eye for potential security vulnerabilities and bad actors. The architecture is built to run itself, allowing you to focus on your program and overall strategy.

KALC fits into your broader MarTech ecosystem with its built-in extensibility that enables seamless plug-and-play with your existing tools and processes. Program intelligence is generated in real-time through automated dashboards, financial reporting, and machine learning models to drive your program’s success.
