Employee Recognition Software for Manufacturing Teams

Manufacturing teams attach rewards to 89% of their kudos on Matter, the highest of any industry. Fast, tangible appreciation that works for the floor, not just the front office.
Manufacturing & Industrial
89% of kudos carry a reward, the highest attachment of any industry.

Deskless teams get left out of desk-built programs

Plant floors run on shifts, not inboxes. Manufacturing writes the shortest recognition notes we measured, a 9-word median, and attaches the most rewards: fast acknowledgment plus something tangible fits the pace of the floor.

Matter matches that pace: quick kudos with coins attached, redeemable for gift cards employees actually want, in 200+ countries.

How Matter works on the floor

Fast recognition with something tangible attached.

1

Kudos with coins

Fast recognition with a small reward attached, built for the pace of the floor. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.

2

Gift card rewards

10,000+ reward options across 200+ countries, redeemed by employees themselves. Gift cards span 10,000+ options across 200+ countries, redeemed by employees themselves.

3

Celebrations

Birthdays and work anniversaries post automatically across every shift. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.

Built for teams without desks

Floor staff need no email account and no password. If they are in the Teams or Slack workspace, they are in the recognition program.

No separate logins

Recognition happens inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. No new accounts to create, no passwords to reset, ever.

User management syncs itself

Membership follows your Slack or Teams directory automatically. No HRIS required to start, and 250+ supported when you want them.

About 2 minutes to set up

Install Matter, add it to a channel, and your team can start recognizing each other the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Can floor workers without email use Matter?

Yes. Matter runs inside your Microsoft Teams or Slack workspace with membership synced from the directory, so anyone in the workspace is in the program with no separate account.

What rewards can employees choose?

10,000+ options across 200+ countries: eGift cards, prepaid cards, charitable donations, company swag, and custom company rewards, all self-served.

What does Matter cost?

Every workspace starts with a free 14-day trial of everything, no credit card required, then lands on the Free Forever plan. Paid plans start at $1 per user per month. Full details on the pricing page.

How long does setup take?

About 2 minutes to install and 5 to 10 to customize. Users sync from Slack or Microsoft Teams automatically, so there is no HRIS project between you and launch. 250+ HRIS integrations are supported when you want them.

Already using another recognition tool?

Switching is a smaller project than it sounds. Your balances come with you, the migration is free on paid plans, and most teams are live within days. Historical kudos do not carry over, so you start with a clean feed and full balances.

Existing balances convert

Point balances from your current platform convert to Matter coins, so nobody loses what they have already earned.

Migration is free on paid plans

Matter handles the migration at no cost on any paid plan. You share the data, we do the work.

Live in days, not quarters

Teams under 100 people typically switch in 1 to 2 days. Teams under 1,000 are usually done in under a week.
