Why choose ZIZO?
Because Performance Management Should Empower People—Not Exhaust Them.
When we built ZIZO, we weren’t thinking about dashboards and data.
We were thinking about people—agents, managers, and leaders—who were burnt out, disconnected, and managing performance through spreadsheets and guesswork.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Today, ZIZO is trusted by organizations across industries—from collections and financial services to healthcare and sales—to motivate their teams, increase productivity, and build cultures that people want to be part of.
We’re not just another tool. We’re your performance partner.

The ZIZO Difference: What Sets Us Apart
Built for Engagement—Not Just Oversight
ZIZO turns performance into a daily game worth playing. With rank progression, automated rewards, real-time feedback, and personalized challenges, your employees are more than managed—they’re motivated.
Powered by Real-Time Intelligence
Stop waiting for reports or digging through dashboards. ZIZO pulls performance data from your existing systems and transforms it into actionable insights for agents and managers—automatically.
Driven by Data. Personalized for People.
Our proprietary performance algorithm dynamically sets expectations based on role, tenure, and performance history. Everyone gets a fair shot at success—and knows exactly how to get there.
100% Transparent, Fair & Inclusive Under 90 Days
No hidden leaderboards or subjective recognition. ZIZO rewards effort, improvement, and consistency—not just the top 5%. It powerfully engages new hires, retains middle performers, and builds a fair, recognition-first culture.
Real Support from People Who’ve Been There
ZIZO was founded by call center and contact center operators—not SaaS executives. We’ve managed teams, juggled KPIs, and handled the chaos of frontline performance. That’s why we don’t give you software—we offer a partnership model that works.
Instant Impact—Measured in Days, Not Quarters
With fast onboarding, prebuilt challenges, and automated insights, ZIZO drives measurable results from week one—without heavy lifting from your managers.

We’re a SaaS platform that charges per user, per month. However, pricing varies on the size of your team, contract length, and other variables. Ask your ZIZO contact for a quote of service tailored to your needs! We charge a setup fee when we onboard new clients. This fee may increase if custom coding and integrations are required. Exact pricing for your company’s onboarding fee will be determined and formally provided to you after our tech discovery exercise.
- Discovery – Let’s get to know each other! We always start new relationships with a discovery conversation. Our goal is to get to know your company and team and ensure that we understand the challenges that you’re facing.
- Demo – Let us show you what we can do for you! We will perform as many demos as we need to ensure that your entire team of decision-makers understands how ZIZO can help you solve your challenges.
- Tech Discovery – It’s a match! Once you identify that ZIZO is the right fit for your team, we’ll perform a tech discovery. In this session, we will discuss the systems and the data that we need to work with to ensure that we won’t hit any roadblocks during the integration and onboarding process.
- Formal proposal – It’s time to propose! Once we have all of the information that we need, your ZIZO contact will provide you with a formal quote of service. This will include applicable onboarding fees, licensing costs, and contract terms.
- Contract – We are now one! Once the formal quote is approved, you’ll receive a contract for execution. ZIZO’s standard contract is a 12-month commitment, but discounts apply for longer-term engagements.
- Deep Discovery – Let’s get down to work! Once your contract is signed, you’ll begin to work with our onboarding team. Our integration specialists will be setting up your company’s customized ZIZO platform, and our customer success specialist will meet with your team to identify business objectives, KPIs, and expectations.
- Simulation – Let’s test it! After all of the data is gathered, and the connections are built, we will use past data to simulate an instance of ZIZO. This simulation allows us to test the parameters of the platform that we built for you to ensure that everything is accurate.
- Limited Roll-Out –It’s time to try it out! Once we’re confident in the algorithm, we will ask your team to identify a select group of users to perform a soft launch. This limited roll-out allows us to validate the data and work out any bugs prior to launching with the entire team. We typically like to test the system for about a month prior to the full launch.
- Full Roll-Out – It’s party time! Our customer success team will set up a formal kickoff celebration to get your team excited and ready to maximize their experience with ZIZO. From one-on-one training to meetings with the management team, we’ll make sure you are ready to win with ZIZO.
- Ongoing support – We are here for you! You’ll have a dedicated customer success manager who monitors your users’ activity, performance, and feedback to ensure that you receive the maximum value from ZIZO daily. They’ll act as your employee engagement specialist, always available to help you navigate any challenge.
We have our own in-app currency (ZBucks), for users to earn through the app and spend in the reward store.
- You assign a monthly budget to put towards your employees incentives.
- Each month, you’ll receive an invoice for that budget, based on active users.
- The funds will be transferred to an escrow account, where we manage distribution to your employees in the form of ZBucks for you.
- Funds will leave the escrow account to reimburse ZIZO for any rewards that we fulfill for your team, or if your employee uses ZBucks to purchase a company perk, funds will go back to you to cover that cost.

- Tech Staff: Since ZIZO integrates with your operational systems, it’s important that your technology team understands the value and process.
- End users: It is important that ZIZO is the right fit for your team and culture. We always recommend asking at least one agent-level employee to evaluate a demo. They can help you determine how this tool would be received by your team.
