Keller Sports, the German e-tailer of premium sporting goods, has won the German Innovation Award for two services: the Keller sMiles reward app and the Keller Premium Membership. The sMiles app can connect to any of several activity-tracking apps, such as Garmin ConnectTM, Nike Run Club, Google Fit, Apple Health and Strava Training. Users then collect points for every activity and either redeem them or exchange them for fitness-related products and services through Keller Sports. The app also has a “challenge section” where users take part in “sports challenges.” The Keller Premium Membership provides access to “Premium Challenges” on the sMiles app, “strictly limited products” on the online shop and 1,000 gyms in Germany. The annual German Innovation Award was inaugurated last year to recognize uniqueness, innovative details and added value. It is open to commercial, non-commercial and governmental organizations in all sectors and industries worldwide, but only companies nominated by the German Design Council are eligible. The jury is composed of experts in industry, science, institutions and finance.
