MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/07/13 -- Today, Appcelerator®, provider of a leading enterprise mobile development solution, announced that AppGage LLC built its proprietary loyalty framework, AppGagement, using Appcelerator's Titanium Platform and Appcelerator Cloud Services (ACS). AppGagement allows businesses to integrate loyalty solutions into new and existing apps to drive business growth, lower costs and engage customers.

"Until now, loyalty programs have been largely ineffective and improperly executed. Now, with the help of AppGage, companies can implement effective loyalty programs that not only foster goodwill among customers, but also supports business growth," said Appcelerator CEO Jeff Haynie. "Appcelerator is pleased to provide the technology enabling the rapid, widespread adoption of mobile loyalty programs to a global base of users, independent of the device they use."

AppGage selected Appcelerator for its unique ability to provide rich and immersive native, cross-platform mobile experiences. Additionally, Appcelerator offers AppGage access to its international enterprise partners as well as the 400,000 developers that make up its global developer community, thereby facilitating mobile loyalty innovation on a global scale.

"To be successful, we needed Appcelerator to not only help us reimagine the existing state of mobile loyalty options through a more appealing interface, but also allow us to provide mobile loyalty programs to as many consumers as possible," said AppGage CEO, Steve Schroeder. "Because Appcelerator's technology operates across platforms, our enterprise customers can extend loyalty offers to consumers no matter what mobile device they use."

Via its integrated and elastic architecture that supports multiple individual account balances and rewards for consumers, AppGage eliminates the many confusing issues that often accompany loyalty programs. Through an array of options, including cash back rewards and referral incentives, AppGage helps businesses increase customer loyalty, drive engaging customer experiences and build compelling mobile loyalty programs.

A national wellness organization, Get Healthy Nation, recently selected AppGage to construct a custom mobile loyalty application that consistently rewards users for making healthy decisions. Set to launch locally in March 2013 in Port Huron, Michigan before rolling out nationally, the app will be a first for the wellness industry, allowing control of multiple balances to motivate, educate and incentivize consumers to live healthfully. In addition to encouraging wellness among the general population, the Get Healthy Nation app offers partner companies increased brand awareness and store traffic.
