"Evalato provides a single, streamlined platform that manages every stage of our awards process, from entry to evaluation." — Lisa Kemp, BizClik
The challenge
Running awards programs across sustainability, procurement, supply chain, technology, and manufacturing means BizClik's team juggles multiple entry cycles, judging panels, and audiences at once — and its old process wasn't built for that scale.
Manual administration at every stage — Entry collection, data organization, and participant communication all took hands-on effort, spread across spreadsheets, forms, and email threads.
An inconsistent experience for applicants and judges — Without a unified platform, submissions felt less intuitive, and judges worked from disjointed materials — falling short of the seamless experience BizClik's brand promises.
No real-time visibility — Tracking submission volumes, judging progress, and program performance meant manual data gathering with no live insight, slowing decisions and raising the risk of errors.
The solution
Evalato gave BizClik a single platform to manage every stage of an awards program, from first entry to final result.
The all-in-one application and judging portal — Centralizing entries, scoring, and documentation eliminated the manual handoffs that used to slow things down. Applicants got a cleaner submission experience; judges got clear criteria, controlled access, and automated scoring.
Automated workflows and communication tools — Automated emails, status updates, and reminders keep participants informed without extra team effort, letting programs run more independently.
Advanced reporting and real-time dashboards — Instant visibility into submissions, judging progress, and performance means BizClik can optimize programs while they're running, not after the fact.
"Real-time dashboards give instant visibility into program performance, helping us make informed decisions and optimize our strategy." — Lisa Kemp, BizClik
