Rieker-eshop mobile app

What we started with

Rieker-eshop, a shoe e-commerce platform in Hungary, identified a critical need to enhance the mobile browsing experience for its customers. With 80% of internet traffic now occurring on mobile devices, it was imperative to adapt to this trend. The existing browser-based application was inadequate for mobile users, lacking optimization for smaller screens and failing to leverage the functionalities offered by iOS and Android platforms.

The challenge for our small development and design team was significant. We needed a solution that could bridge the gap between our Angular expertise and the demand for native mobile applications. Maintaining separate iOS and Android apps was not feasible for us due to resource constraints and our desire to utilize our Angular development experience effectively.

From 0 to MVP

Our journey began with the introduction of Viktor, a software engineer, who joined us during his school internship. Collaborating seamlessly with Alexie, our researcher and designer, we set out to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) tailored to meet the needs of our mobile-centric user base.

Together, we engaged in rigorous research and design iterations, meticulously crafting an intuitive user interface based on invaluable customer feedback. Viktor's expertise in Angular and Alexie's discerning eye for design synergized perfectly, allowing us to develop the MVP using Capacitor-based cross-platform mobile application technology with the Ionic framework. This collaborative approach not only leveraged our team's strengths but also upheld the highest standards of code quality.

From MVP to Beta Release

The pivotal moment arrived when we conducted in-person usability tests with real customers at our office in Győr to validate our MVP. These tests provided invaluable insights into user behavior and preferences, allowing us to refine and optimize the app iteratively. We adopted a continuous testing approach, incorporating user feedback from surveys and alpha version testing to enhance the app's performance and usability.

With confidence in our product, we proceeded to a beta release, granting gradual early access to 40 000 users. This phase served as a crucial testing ground, enabling us to identify and address any last-minute issues promptly. Our collaborative efforts between development, design, and user feedback ensured that the app was fine-tuned to meet the expectations of our discerning audience.
