In 2014 a group of young people realized how difficult it was to access economic opportunities without the appropriate credentials and work experience. This led them to embark on a mission to ensure that youth are able to leverage mobile technology to keep track of informal credentials by completing work, tasks or non-traditional skills programmes in their local communities. The Zlto team launched a public beta mobile platform in 2016 that has increased and tracked positive behavior of more than 25,000 youth.

During the first quarter of 2018 Zlto introduced a real-time data dashboard that supports organisations and companies seeking a way of tracking the positive behavior of their own users.
