MIVO Mitarbeitervorteile

What MIVO Mitarbeitervorteile does

MIVO Mitarbeitervorteile is a German employee benefits portal founded in 2001 and headquartered in Düsseldorf (with primary offices in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt), operating as a brand of VIP District GmbH, which is itself a subsidiary of the Finnish Epassi Group. The company provides a cloud-based discount and voucher platform that connects employers with over 400 brand partners across categories including travel, fashion, electronics, mobility, beauty, fitness, dining, home, education, health, and entertainment. Over 1.4 million active users across more than 3,500 companies, including 80% of DAX-listed corporations, access the platform via web or a dedicated mobile app to redeem exclusive discounts and cashback. The platform is hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure in Frankfurt and includes a personalization engine that analyzes user behavior to deliver tailored offers, plus a usage analytics dashboard for employer reporting.

The company operates a three-sided B2B/B2B2C business model. Employers pay a license fee (subscription, with self-service for SMBs up to 250 employees and personalized consultation for larger enterprises) to activate the portal for their workforce, while employees access it free of charge. Brand partners generate two revenue streams: commission income from completed purchases via affiliate/cashback tracking, and platform visibility fees for premium placement. MIVO is the German arm of the broader VIP District and Epassi Group network, which covers 50,000+ employers, 36M+ users, and 100,000+ service partners across more than 10 European countries. In 2023, MIVO was integrated into VIP District as part of a business restructuring that improved customer experience and aligned the German operation with the European parent group's engagement solutions strategy.
