Corporate Sustainability & Employee Impact Platform
How MOHARA helped Ekko evolve from a consumer fintech into an enterprise-ready sustainability platform adopted by global employers.
Client Background
Ekko is a UK climate-fintech startup that merges financial technology with environmental impact. The company first launched a consumer debit card and app that turned everyday spending into climate action, planting trees, collecting ocean-bound plastic, and producing real-time carbon insights.
Backed by Mastercard and aligned with the Priceless Planet Coalition, Ekko later identified a stronger commercial opportunity: enabling organisations to engage employees in sustainability programmes and track environmental impact across their workforce.
The Challenge
Ekko needed to transition from a consumer product to a B2B platform capable of serving enterprise clients. This shift required rethinking the technical architecture, building new data pathways between employer dashboards and employee experiences, and supporting corporate-grade scalability, permissions, and reporting.
The new platform also had to retain Ekko's signature simplicity and emotional impact while introducing structured incentives, analytics, and multi-organisation management. Clear pathways for onboarding, usage tracking, reward distribution, and environmental reporting were essential for adoption by ESG-focused employers.
Objectives
Ekko and MOHARA set out to:
- Build an enterprise sustainability platform connecting employers and employees through measurable impact.
- Deliver a secure dashboard that organisations could use to manage users, allocate incentives, and track performance.
- Create an integration layer linking employer data with Ekko's consumer mobile app.
- Establish analytics and reporting capabilities for environmental impact and engagement trends.
- Support a transition from a consumer revenue model to subscription-based B2B accounts.
The Solution
MOHARA partnered with Ekko to design and deliver the core technology behind its enterprise incentives platform—a B2B2C system that unites employee engagement and sustainability reporting.
Technical Foundation
React Native • TypeScript • AWS • Terraform • Infrastructure as Code
Enterprise Dashboard
MOHARA developed a secure dashboard where organisations can:
- Add and manage employees
- Allocate sustainability incentives
- Track impact across teams and locations
- Configure branding, programme details, and account preferences
The dashboard supports multi-organisation management, user role controls, structured data uploads, and automated onboarding flows tailored to high-volume clients.
Employee Integration Layer
The employer platform is fully connected to Ekko's mobile app, giving employees visibility of their impact, rewards, and onboarding details. This linking layer ensures a seamless experience across web and mobile environments, with user states, rewards, and activity synced securely.
Incentives and Impact Engine
MOHARA helped design the system that converts employer activity into measurable environmental outcomes, including trees planted and plastic collected. The platform tracks allocation, usage, and engagement and surfaces meaningful insights for both employees and leadership teams.
Reporting and Analytics
The platform includes structured reporting tools that allow organisations to view adoption rates, impact metrics, and team-level performance. This provides employers with the visibility required to support ESG commitments and internal sustainability goals.
The result is a platform that retains Ekko's consumer-focused charm while introducing the structure, reliability, and administrative capability necessary for commercial success in the corporate sustainability market.
Results
- Delivered a fast, production-ready incentives platform enabling Ekko's launch into the B2B sustainability market.
