We're proud to announce that Applauz has been named an Emotional Footprint Champion by SoftwareReviews for the third year in a row.

This isn't the kind of thing you can manufacture with marketing. The Emotional Footprint award is based entirely on verified reviews from real users, and earning it once already says something. Earning it three consecutive years tells a different story: that what our customers experience with Applauz holds up over time. Applauz was also named a Top Rated Software Solution for the fourth consecutive year. Both recognitions come from SoftwareReviews, a division of Info-Tech Research Group.

What Makes the Emotional Footprint Award So Meaningful?

Most software awards measure features. The Emotional Footprint report measures something harder to fake: how a vendor makes its customers feel. Vendors are evaluated on trust, responsiveness, client experience, and real-world product impact. This year, Applauz earned top honours in 10 categories.

Products win on specs. Relationships win on this.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Recognition is what Applauz is built around, so getting it back from our customers carries real weight. These scores represent HR professionals and business leaders who paused their day to share an honest opinion. That means something to us.

"Three years on this list doesn't happen by accident. What it tells us is that our customers trust Applauz with their programs, their people, and the culture they're trying to build. That kind of trust is earned every day. We're proud of it, and we'll keep working to deserve it."

Francois Fortier, CEO at Applauz

We're grateful to be part of our customers' engagement journeys, and we're just getting started.
