The specific complaint that stands out is about migrating a loyalty program: 'moving our Loyalty Program over to AiTrillion was somewhat difficult and confusing.' This isn't generic onboarding friction — it's migration friction, which is a different and more expensive problem. When someone migrates an existing loyalty program, they're moving customer point balances, tier structures, historical redemption data, and integration logic from one system to another. Getting it wrong doesn't just slow them down — it breaks trust with their existing customers.

The reason this gap exists is structural: loyalty and chat vendors are competing to win customers away from other platforms, but their migration support tops out at 'export a CSV and import it here.' The actual work of mapping old tier logic to new tier logic, understanding what data fields transfer and which don't, and knowing what to test before going live is left entirely to the customer. The vendor's incentive is to make the destination look attractive, not to make the journey painless — and documentation written about their own product can't, by definition, speak to the source system the customer is migrating from.

What's missing is a migration guide that understands both ends of the move. The complaints about 'integration with existing systems requiring better understanding of our company and contract' and 'the terms and conditions around digital server integration being confusing' point to a gap between what the vendor explains and what the customer actually needs to know to move safely.

This is a business because migrations happen once per customer but across thousands of customers in a growing category, and the cost of getting one wrong — angry customers, lost points balances, broken automations — is high enough that someone would pay to avoid it. The need recurs every time the vendor wins a competitive deal.

What to build

Build a migration playbook product for loyalty program moves — a structured, interactive checklist that maps source platform data fields to destination fields, flags common data loss risks, and generates a go-live testing checklist — sold directly to merchants or licensed to loyalty vendors as a white-labeled migration kit.

Where to start

Start with migrations from one specific legacy loyalty platform to one specific destination, where you can build the field-mapping matrix once and sell the same guide to every merchant making that exact move.

The hard part

You need deep knowledge of both the source and destination platforms to make the field-mapping accurate, which means you effectively need to build and maintain a matrix of integrations before you can sell to anyone — it's a cold-start knowledge problem.

How it makes money

One-time fee per migration project, charged to the merchant; or a licensing fee to the destination vendor who bundles it into their competitive displacement sales motion.
