Incentivize Staying Local

GateWatch doesn’t just help communities run better—it helps them thrive. Our Local Rewards Program (LRP) connects both residents and local businesses, creating a win-win ecosystem that drives platform adoption while building real-world community connection.

✓ Automate rewards to match your community goals

Support your community and the local economy
