## Key points

- Bilt is extending its rewards technology into local commerce.
- Neighborhood OS helps businesses run offers and measure results.
- A second platform connects members of teams and companies with merchant benefits.

## Summary

Bilt is expanding its rewards technology beyond housing with two platforms for local businesses and organisations such as sports teams, hotels and property companies. The move matters because it aims to help neighbourhood businesses attract and retain customers while giving established membership programmes more ways to engage their communities.

Neighborhood OS connects businesses’ existing reservation and payment systems so they can offer rewards, run marketing campaigns and track which offers work. Bilt says it already partners with 50,000 merchants; its initial platform partners include Altamarea Group, AM Parking, Lowe’s and Thumbtack. A second platform lets organisations keep their own brand and customer relationships while linking members to merchant benefits. Initial participants include the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Hyatt and Bozzuto.
