Overview

The Project

FreshCart, a growing London grocery delivery startup, needed a cross-platform mobile app to compete with established players. They had a basic website but no mobile presence, losing 70% of potential customers who preferred mobile ordering.

The Challenge

What We Were Up Against

Key challenges included building a smooth cross-platform experience for both iOS and Android with a single codebase, integrating real-time GPS order tracking, handling complex delivery time-slot logic for perishable goods, and implementing a scalable payment system supporting Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card payments.

Our Solution

How We Solved It

We developed a React Native mobile application with a Node.js backend. The app features intelligent delivery scheduling with time-slot management, real-time GPS order tracking for customers, a loyalty rewards system with referral codes, push notification marketing campaigns, and integration with Stripe for seamless payments.

Our Approach

How We Delivered

01

Market Research

Analysed 5 competitor apps, conducted user surveys with 200+ potential customers, and identified key features that would differentiate FreshCart in the market.

02

UX Design

Designed a streamlined checkout flow (3 taps to order), created an intuitive product browsing experience, and built a prototype tested with 15 beta users.

03

Agile Development

Built the app in 10 two-week sprints. Delivered an MVP in month 2, then iterated based on real user feedback from a 500-person beta programme.

04

Launch & Growth

Managed App Store and Google Play submissions, set up analytics tracking, and implemented A/B testing for push notification campaigns.

The app exceeded our expectations. The real-time tracking feature alone has drastically reduced our customer support calls. SKN IT understood our vision from day one.
