Retail app development company

We build functional retail apps that convert visitors into buyers. Contact us if you want an app with user-centric design, intuitive navigation, secure payments, and powerful analytics to drive sales and foster loyalty.

Our retail app development services

Custom MVP development

We’ll create a retail app from scratch without breaking the bank. Instead of investing heavily in a full-fledged app, we’ll help you build a streamlined version with core features.
Before actual retail mobile app development begins, our team will conduct a thorough product discovery phase to flesh out your business idea. Once that’s done, we’ll create UX design, develop tangible software, test it for bugs, and help release it on Google Play and the App Store.  

Consulting

Our help goes beyond just coding. We can analyze your UX strategy and advise you on how to design the app for maximum customer engagement. The same goes for collecting customer data and figuring out how to connect a retail app to physical stores and inventory management systems.
No matter if you’re working on retail management software or a loyalty platform, we can guide you to create an app with great product-market fit. Our extensive experience in retail mobile app development allows us to provide advice that gives you a genuine competitive advantage.

Redesign

We can help if your retail app is due for a refresh: e.g. it looks dated, doesn't follow current trends, or customer feedback indicates they find it unappealing.
Let our team transform your app with a stylish user interface that captivates your audience and draws them into your service.
We can create designs that are both beautiful and functional. Our specialists apply key UX principles during the design process, which ensures your app not only engages users but also converts them into buyers and loyal followers.

Supporting an existing retail app

Maintaining an app demands meticulous attention to detail. Our team identifies and resolves bugs that disrupt the shopping experience, so users can browse and purchase without frustration. We also analyze user behavior data to optimize checkout user flows. This decreases cart abandonment rates and increases conversions.
Contact us, and we’ll help you update your app regularly to incorporate user feedback and introduce requested features.

RASSVETLASH — a marketplace that specializes in eye makeup tutorials

Retail
Beauty industry
Catalog
Rassvetlash is an app with eye makeup tutorials. It includes eyelash extension and curl charts that help users achieve various looks and effects.
Our clients sold these materials in print across multiple marketplaces, which limited how often they could update content. That’s why they decided to approach us: they wanted to create a mobile app that would digitize their lash tutorial collection.
After a year of development, we’ve successfully launched the app. Instead of purchasing entire print guides, lash professionals can buy individual charts for a small fee.

We're all winners — an app with discount coupons and lotteries

This is an app with discount coupons and lotteries for the Egyptian market. By the time we finished redesigning the app, our client had already started a marketing campaign, so we had to speed up the development process.
To meet deadlines, we had to split the app into different versions and prioritize key features. This approach helped us save 3 months on development: what was supposed to take us 7 months to create took 4 months instead.

We recently partnered with a Swiss entrepreneur who wanted to create a classified ads platform for the European market. Think of it as an eBay-style marketplace, but with a twist: instead of listing products, users connect with service providers and suppliers.
We had budget constraints, so we sat down with the client to prioritize essential features. After pinning down exactly what would deliver the most value, we dove into design and development.
In 5 months, we delivered a fully functional platform and even managed to squeeze in extra features without additional costs.

It’s a marketplace where creative professionals can make money from their intellectual work. Our client initially wanted to go all-in with a complete app, but after seeing the cost breakdown, they pivoted to a different approach: create an intricate website, show it to investors, and secure funding.
Our designers got to work creating a website prototype with bold design. To make it more eye-catching, we added animations that capture the creative energy of the target audience.

Custom retail app development process

1

Kick-off

What you get: Price estimation and concrete deadlines
Estimated timeline: 2 days
We begin development by scheduling a call with our client. Our specialists use it to discuss the scope of the project: that includes a price estimate, approximate deadlines, feature number, and so on. Once both parties agree to similar terms, we outline the next steps of the project.
2

Discovery

What you get: Project roadmap + BPMN-diagrams with feature requirements
Estimated timeline: 2–3 weeks
Our project manager contacts you to gather business requirements and assemble a team of designers and developers tailored to your project. These specialists map out the software architecture of your solution.
At the same time, system analysts draw up potential use cases of your product and lay them out in the form of BPMN diagrams. This step helps speed up custom software development later.
3

Design

What you get: UI-kit, app designs ready for development
Estimated timeline: 1–1,5 months
We begin by drawing wireframes, or black and white screens of your future solution. They display the positions that each UI element is going to take. Once you greenlight those, we move on to creating a design concept — i.e. we take a bunch of screens and polish their design with your branding in mind. 
Then, our designers create a UI-kit. It’s a pack of icons and other elements that simplifies development and makes it easier to add new screens later.
4

Retail app development

What you get: Finished app
Estimated timeline: 2–5 months
We divide the entire development process into iterations, and we try to create or flesh out a single feature in each one of these iterations. This lets us change things on the fly, if need be.
5

QA testing

What you get: Bug-free retail app with secure user data
Estimated timeline: concurrently with development
We try to find bugs before the retail app releases. Once we identify any weak points, we remove them so that hackers won’t get access to user data.
6

Release prep

What you get: An app that’s ready for release
If you’re planning to release a mobile version of your retail app, we’ll make sure it complies with regulations of major app stores. This way, your app will release on time without fail.
7

Release

What you get: A released app with a list of potential improvements
Once we release your retail app, we’ll keep a close eye on the first user feedback. It will allow us to make your platform better later on.
8

Support and maintenance

What you get: Regular updates
Our specialists will help you integrate the retail app into your existing workflows. Aside from that, we’ll continue updating your app and providing bug fixes, so that it better attracts new users and keeps the old ones.

Types of solutions we deliver

Landing pages

Our landing pages are carefully crafted digital storefronts designed to convert visitors into customers. We build these pages to spotlight your products with eye-catching visuals and copy that connects with your target audience.
Each page we build is custom-built around your specific products and brand voice, with attention-grabbing headlines, persuasive product descriptions, and clear calls to action. We also make sure they load fast and look great on any device.

Loyalty & reward mobile apps

These apps offer a practical way to keep customers coming back. We design these apps to track purchases and reward repeat business through points, discounts, or exclusive offers. This eliminates the need for physical punch cards or coupons and makes it more convenient to use for both customers and businesses.
If you want to gain better insight into your customers and collect valuable user data, loyalty apps are an excellent choice. We’ll design it from scratch and include key features like personalized recommendations, purchase history tracking, and reward progress bars that encourage additional spending.

Inventory management systems

We can create an app that tracks stock levels and streamlines operations. This makes it easier to monitor product quantities, locations, and movements in real-time, and in turn, you won’t have to deal with stockouts or overordering.
Some of the features we can integrate include reminders and detailed inventory reports that help businesses maintain optimal stock levels. 
Let us create an inventory management system that tracks turnover rates and improves the order accuracy, efficiency, and profitability of your retail business.

Online marketplaces

We create online marketplaces that link buyers to sellers on platforms with secure payments and inventory systems.
If you want to create a marketplace that stands out from the rest, we’ll include unorthodox features like virtual try-on, AR product displays, and voice shopping. 
No matter the kind of app you’re going for, we’ll create an app that’s focused on solid growth capacity, security, and user experiences that drive sales.

CRM-platforms

The systems we build track what your customers buy and help you understand their habits. We keep all your customer details in one spot so your team can find what they need without issues. 
Our CRMs send out timely emails and texts when customers leave items in their cart or when you want to tell them about a sale. Store managers can use simple dashboards to see who's selling what and which staff members need support. Everything connects to your current systems or new ones you’re looking to adopt.

Advanced integrations for retail apps

AR/VR

We can integrate augmented reality so that your customers make more informed decisions on what to buy. For example, if you’re planning to build a furniture store app, this tech will allow your potential users to see how said furniture fits in their living room. Showrooms aside, we can add a try-on feature so that your customers could see how glasses and other accessories fit from the comfort of their own homes.

Chatbots & AI

Our specialists will be happy to add a chatbot that eases the strain on your customer support team. With it, your customers can ask questions about your product line whenever they want.
These chatbots and AI-assistants help shoppers find products they want and suggest items based on what they actually like. It learns from every customer conversation to get smarter each day, and it helps you make more sales without hiring an army of support staff.

IoT for e-commerce

It’s an easy way to boost sales for your retail app. Customers get packages faster because IoT systems track inventory across all locations and ship from the closest one. Beacons can also send personalized deals through retail apps when customers walk near brick-and-mortar stores. 
Integrating this feature results in retaining happier customers who buy more and return less because everything works the way it should.

Personalised — wellness app design

Purrweb is one of the fastest agencies if not the fastest one that I’ve ever worked with. In terms of budget, the cost was very affordable — not too much more than you expect from a typical freelancer yet the quality level that you’re buying for that is definitely top end. I'd love to mention that we originally planned to build MVP design but the design that we got is much better — the guys from Purrweb weren’t just a yes-man, they were challenging some of our ideas with constructive feedback and the product we ended up with as a result is very high quality.

KEM — Payment app

My name is Seth Abel and I’m CEO at Fintech company called KEM. We provide payment services and help people to connect with each other in terms of the financial matters. We really needed help with developing an MVP. Our banking partners required an MVP from us to demonstrate our ability to put up a product. I think the job was done really swiftly and very effectively. A good product was delivered, so I was really happy with the services and I would definitely recommend Purrweb.

Buzz

My name is Matt Brzowski, and I'm the founder of a local events app called Buzz. I came to Purrweb with an app idea, and the team helped us come up with a company brand. We went through the whole design process and made an MVP that we could take into development. The design team at Purrweb is extremely qualified and open to iterating on designs. We were at an early stage with our company when we came to Purrweb, and the team was able to stick with us through all the big transformational work. They helped us cater our logo, brand, and our mobile app to accomplish our goals. I really liked the design prowess and the flexibility.
