SAP CRM Loyalty Management

Loyalty Program Management enables set up and maintenance of loyalty programs. Program maintenance
includes information about program-related loyalty status levels, tier groups and levels, set up and
maintenance of point accounts, as well as program-specific point accrual and redemption based on flights,
nights of stay etc.

Loyalty Reward Rule Management includes set up and maintenance of loyalty rules and conditions finally
being processed by the loyalty engine. All points accrued and redeemed by members are recorded within the
members point account.

Loyalty Membership represents the participation of an individual person, or organization to a specific frequent
flyer program. Membership is opened by a registration to the loyalty program, either paper-based, via web-self
service, or call center. It also includes member activities such as flight or sales activities - finally being accrued
or redeemed as points.

The Loyalty Management Processing Engine a highly scalable Engine to process member activities and tier
transition evaluation. It is an integrated part of SAP CRM and the heart of the CRM based Loyalty
Management solution.
