Challenge

Even a well-established retail provider must timely scale and improve in line with the growing demand and satisfaction standards among customers. Foxtrot is a more than successful chain of big stores that holds firm positions in the Ukrainian retail markets. Still, the company required an efficient way to attract more customers, increase usual customer satisfaction rates, and boost sales.

For this, the ultimate goal arose to create brand new native applications for the two top mobile platforms right now (Android and iOS) with a smooth user experience, thorough functionality, and inviting UI design. The applications that would efficiently stimulate loyalty in a number of user segments at once.

The streamlined performance and smoothness of the overall user experience are forecasted to most positively stimulate further customer demand in terms of the Foxtrot user audience.

We also had strict requirements which eventually were most properly handled. As a whole - this is the work well done and we are already seeing some major results of this work.”
