The Nitro Platform
Nitro is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) application. Nitro components enable you to add a variety of incentive mechanics on your site to drive user behavior, increase engagement, and inspire user loyalty.
Nitro consists of:
- Nitro Platform – A BI WORLDWIDE server that securely tracks user points and rewards.
- Web Server for Nitro-Enabled Website – A set of programming tools to help you add a program to your site.
- User Access – A variety of devices that allow users to access the website to complete missions, earn badges, and redeem points for rewards.
- Access to Nitro Studio – A web application used to define and monitor your program settings such as actions, points, missions, analytics and more. Note: If Nitro Studio is not loading after an update was deployed, try clearing your browser cache.
Sandbox and Production Environments
We provide two complete Nitro systems that you can configure and modify independently.
- Sandbox – Used for testing and designing your system.
- Production – Used for live operations.
We recommend that you develop and test in sandbox. If you prefer to use separate sandboxes for development, QA, and staging, contact your account manager to request additional accounts.
When your site is ready, your sandbox data will be moved to production. Then, a production endpoint is provided to you. To deploy your production site, you will need to change the endpoint and make any other changes required by your site's logic (such as database credentials and embed code).
