The client was looking for ways to make shopping easier, and hense, increase the conversion. One of the ideas to reach this goal was that adding items from a printed catalogue by simple scanning of a barcode will remove the barrier of cross-platform shopping and lead to more sales.
To test this idea, the company wanted to create an MVP of a mobile app through which the products would be scanned and added to a cart.
It was especially important for the customer to get this MVP as quickly as possible to be able to see first results and grow further the mobile store functionality based on these results.
To test the business idea, iOS and Android apps were created. The apps have a login screen, three onboarding screens, and the main screen. On the main screen, users may choose to scan the barcode, or to proceed to the cart on the site. When the barcode is scanned, it is automatically being added to the cart.
The apps were connected to the existing e-store of the client, built on nopCommerce platform.
For the cross-platform development we used Xamarin technology.
MVP-format iOS and Android apps to test the business idea were created in less than 3 weeks.
