Customer apps
Product browsing, repeat ordering, account features and relevant notifications connected to your store.
Apps for customers and teams
A mobile app for your online store, with a clear job to do.
Help repeat customers shop or give staff a focused tool for their daily work. We build commerce apps around a specific need, connected to the store behind them.
- Shopping for returning customers
- Focused tools for store teams
- Connected products, stock and orders
The work
More channels. One business context.
We start with the users and the task, then decide whether an app, a web interface or a store improvement is the best fit.
Tools for store teams
Focused interfaces for handling orders, checking availability and coordinating fulfilment.
A shared source of information
Define how products, accounts, stock and order states stay aligned with the online store.
Bang Cookies
The website is one part of the business.
Bang Cookies combines a commerce backend, website and mobile application with location-specific availability, prices, delivery and pickup. The project shows why an app needs to share the business context of the store.

Does an app solve a recurring need?
We start with the task: reordering, accessing an account or handling orders on the move. Then we compare a better mobile website with a dedicated app, and agree the accounts, inventory and order data they need to share.
Working together
From the first conversation to a working result.
- 01
Find the recurring task
Who will use the app, how often and why? We compare an app with improving the mobile store before recommending a direction.
- 02
Define the shared information
Agree how accounts, products, stock and order statuses stay aligned, and which actions each user needs.
- 03
Test the everyday use
Try the main tasks on real devices, check loading and failure states, and agree release and ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
Before we get started.
What can the app do?
A customer app can cover product browsing, repeat orders, accounts and useful notifications. A staff app can help with order handling, stock checks and fulfilment. The scope follows the task, not a list of features.
Who maintains the app after release?
We agree responsibilities for publishing and ongoing maintenance during planning. The app shares data and rules with the store, so changes to one need to be checked in the other.
Do we need an app if our store already works on mobile?
Not necessarily. An app should serve a recurring task or audience better than the mobile website. We discuss how people would discover and keep using it before proposing a build.
