Deals App Development to Supplement Online Buying Platform

Delivered by Iflexion’s iOS developers, the solution combines the existing website’s business logic with social networking and geolocation features. To ensure successful promotions and sales information exchange between the mobile and web parts, Iflexion connected the application to a remote web server.

During deals app development, our team implemented the following features:

• Nearby stores and events. Once in the app, users can check in and receive invitations to marketplaces and events located nearby. The built-in GPS module determines a user’s current location and links it to a particular item (a store, a discount center, a supermarket, etc.) registered within the application. When users find a suitable coupon or a sale, for example, they can add comments and share their impressions on the selected promo campaign or event.
• User search. The application identifies and highlights individuals and groups who indicated their interest in certain promotional events and discounts. Based on this data, the application offers users to get connected with other app subscribers with the same buying interests or locations.
• Sales location search. The team enriched the deals app with additional search by location to enable users to buy necessary goods within a specific area. The search helps users save their time on finding the most relevant offering while increasing the chances of a purchase. Moreover, it encourages people to discover new places and find even more attractive offerings.
• Tracking friends’ statuses in the network. While marking out their buying preferences and making their purchases, users can also follow their friends’ activities such as reviews, stores ranking, selected sales, and events. This helps users understand quicker whether they want to take part in particular promo campaigns.

At the final stage of the deals app development, the Customer requested additional changes in the app’s interface. However, some requirements didn’t meet the established iOS design guidelines. Iflexion’s team revamped a number of the application interface elements so that they offer a more user-friendly and compelling experience while complying with the App Store requirements for iOS-based applications.

Applying their expertise in mobile development and, particularly, in retail software development, Iflexion delivered a powerful iOS-based application that complements the existing deals web service. The team helped the Customer extend their customer reach, along with retaining the brand’s service level. As a result, all the involved parties can now enjoy the benefits of the mobile-enabled purchases and collaboration.
