Ultimate Incentive Machine

Built to motivate
Run incentives your team actually gets excited about.
Sparks make it easy to launch contests, commissions, and goals that drive real sales behavior — for any product, any employee, any location.
- Three incentive formats — Leaderboard contests, individual commissions, or team-wide goals.
- Brand-sponsored or store-created — Accept Sparks from vendor partners or build your own in minutes.
- Tailored to your goals — Set reward amounts, duration, and target products around the metrics that matter.
Automated end-to-end
Set it up once. SparkPlug handles the rest.
From tracking to payouts, everything runs automatically. No spreadsheets, no manual calculations, no chasing down rewards.
- POS-connected tracking — Standings update in real time straight from your point-of-sale.
- Automated SMS updates — Employees get standings and alerts by text. No app needed.
- Instant payouts, your way — Venmo, ACH, Visa gift card, or non-cash prizes. No admin bottleneck.
