What is Beny?
Beny is a B2B SaaS platform and mobile application that democratizes employee benefits. Recognizing that small to mid-sized businesses often lack the budgets to offer engaging corporate perks, Beny provides a centralized marketplace of over 100+ exclusive discounts, rewards, and wellbeing initiatives designed to boost employee retention and morale.
After finalizing early ideation and wireframes with a startup accelerator, Beny co-founders Tom Brown and Anthony Holstock needed a serious technical partner to actually build the platform. They engaged Techne HQ in 2021 to transform early designs into a fully functioning, enterprise-grade software ecosystem capable of handling deep API integrations, high daily traffic, and strict corporate data security requirements. We have been their dedicated engineering team ever since.
Building for Enterprise Scale
While basic loyalty apps are simple to design, engineering a B2B SaaS platform that serves dual audiences (corporate HR teams and thousands of individual employees) requires complex architecture. To help Tom Brown and Anthony Holstock win ASX enterprise clients, Beny needed to overcome three core technical hurdles:
Complex Partner Ecosystems: The platform required a highly secure, scalable backend capable of managing live data feeds and transaction logic from hundreds of national reward partners simultaneously.
Frictionless B2B Onboarding: HR teams needed to roll the platform out to thousands of employees instantly, requiring a custom QR-code and link-based onboarding flow taking less than 5 minutes.
Data Security & Analytics: To prove ROI to corporate clients, the system required a walled-garden HR dashboard that tracked engagement and wellness metrics without compromising individual employee privacy.
A Multi-Year Strategic Engineering Partnership
Rather than treating Beny as a one-off build, Techne HQ has operated as Tom Brown and Anthony Holstock’s long-term technical partner since 2021, continually evolving the architecture as the startup scaled from concept to a $20M valuation.
01 · Native Mobile Engineering (Swift & Kotlin)
We engineered the Beny mobile applications natively using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. Choosing high-performance native architecture ensured fluid UI rendering, rapid load times, and seamless device-level integration across both operating systems for Beny’s 50k+ active users.
02 · Enterprise Java & SpringBoot Cloud Backend
Techne HQ engineered a resilient, high-scale backend leveraging Java and SpringBoot hosted on AWS Cloud Infrastructure. Utilizing AWS Secrets Manager for enterprise credential security, Amazon S3 for media storage, and Amazon RDS for relational data management, we built an infrastructure capable of handling high-concurrency API calls and real-time transaction processing.
03 · Custom HR Analytics Portal
To help Beny sell their product to ASX companies, we designed and built a separate, role-based B2B web portal. This dashboard allows HR managers to provision user access, track company-wide engagement data, and measure the ROI of their employee wellness programs in real time.
04 · Future-Proofed for AI Integration
As Beny continues to scale, Techne HQ has architected the core database to be LLM and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) ready, allowing Anthony Holstock and the team to seamlessly introduce intelligent search and AI-driven reward recommendations without rebuilding the core platform.
