How it fits together
The missing layer
Payroll, HR, and CRM all have software behind them. Appreciation ran on spreadsheets and memory. Thankscrate is the layer between your people data and the gift.

Managers write the note, we do the rest
Two weeks before the date, the manager gets a link and writes a few lines. The employee picks a gift from a curated set and confirms their address. The gift ships with the note printed on a card.

Step 2: Configure
Choose the occasions, set a budget for each, decide who is included.
Step 3: Appreciate
Managers write the notes. Recipients choose gifts. Thankscrate delivers.
Step 4: Track
See what went out, what is next, and what it cost.
