CHICAGO — April 30, 2024 — Bounteous x Accolite, the digital innovation partner of the world's most ambitious brands, has been announced by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences as a two-time Honoree in the 28th Annual Webby Awards. This marks the third consecutive year Bounteous’ work with innovative brands has been recognized by the academy.
The two 2024 Bounteous x Accolite Honorees are Noodles & Company in the “Websites and Mobile Sites - Food & Drink” category, and Dash In for the “Apps & Software - Shopping & Retail” category.
“Honorees like Dash In and Noodles & Company are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said Claire Graves, President of The Webby Awards. “It is an incredible achievement to be acknowledged among the best from the 13,000 projects we reviewed this year.”
Dash In’s mobile app (Dash In Rewards) is a first for the c-store industry with an integrated approach to customer experience that brings together all offerings available to customers: foodservice order ahead, fuel pump activation, car wash, and loyalty/rewards.
“We’re honored to be recognized by The Webby Awards for our Dash In Rewards mobile app,” said Blackie Wills, CEO of Dash In. “We’re committed to offering our guests an elevated experience, every time. Our commitment to a renewed Dash In includes both our store environment and the Dash In Rewards experience and ensures that Dash In is at the forefront of innovation.”
Built with Bounteous x Accolite’s NomNom platform, the Dash In Rewards app seamlessly integrates payment processing from P97, ordering from Olo, loyalty from Punchh, and even ICS integration for car wash.
“This achievement is a testament to the Wills Group’s unwavering dedication to digital transformation and customer centricity,” said Alexander Mahernia, EVP, Managing Director of Bounteous x Accolite. “The Dash In Rewards mobile app is the most advanced digital product in the convenience industry, and will be a key component in deepening Dash In’s commitment to the guest experience.”
Unleashing the power of first-party data was also at the core of the Noodles & Company website and app refresh. Bounteous x Accolite partnered with Noodles to create a smooth customer journey that utilizes data to enhance conversion at every interaction point, resulting in a 16% lift in loyalty checks.
“We are honored to receive this recognition alongside Dash In and Noodles & Company for these exceptional digital experiences," remarked Mahernia. "This achievement is a testament to our co-innovation model and the digital impact we can create in partnership with amazing, forward-thinking brands.”
