The Challenge

Land Motion needed a more robust and automated referral system. Their existing setup using AffiliateWP and WooCommerce lacked:

Automated coupon issuance and tiered ambassador rewards
Integration with inventory and location tracking

The main challenge was building a custom solution that addressed these gaps without disrupting existing workflows.

Key Problems Identified:

Complex Commission Structure – tiered rewards for ambassadors with annual resets
Cumbersome User Experience – manual coupon application and poor visibility of discounts.
Limited Ambassador Oversight – no centralized dashboard to track referrals, orders, and rewards.
Inventory & Location Management Issues – inability to assign stock to specific locations and track ambassador-linked inventory.
Balancing Automation & Manual Oversight – automating workflows while maintaining manual control for cash-outs and coupon extensions.

The Collaboration

Tecticx worked closely with Land Motion to:

Define project requirements and workflow mapping.
Align on commission rules, coupon values, and tiered structures.
Integrate the Ambassador dashboard into existing systems.
