Schedule A DemoBoost Customer Engagement and Retention
Challenge: Any online marketplace platform needs repeat customers to boost sales and to improve market share. tökr understood this and needed functionality that would keep bringing their customers back for more.
Solution: Zapbuild's business analysis team brainstormed with the client and formulated the measures that would give their customers a very personalized experience. The platform learns from the customers' preferences and purchases over time and matches them with brands that they might like and recommends the products that they might love to try. This has significantly increased tökr's customer retention rate, reduced the cart-abandonment rate by 27%, improved their upsell and cross-sell opportunities, and boosted their profits margins by 2X.
Engage & Retain Your Customers >
Real-time Dispensary Discovery & Recommendations
Challenge: Customers should be able to discover dispensaries nearby, who sell products matching their needs, even when they travel to other cities. Without having to manually search through the platform every time, the customer should be automatically notified when they are near a place selling what they need.
Solution: Our mobile app experts built GPS and mobile network based tracking into the mobile apps to check user's geo-location and identify dispensaries near them. A map-view built within the apps shows the user's all the places nearby which sell products matching their preferences. This has improved the in-shop sales, by out-of-city travelers, of the brands associated with tökr by up to 32%.
Increase Usability of Your Mobile Apps >Online Sale and Delivery of Cannabis & CBD
Challenge: Building a profitable online business isn't easy - especially in the cannabis industry because of a multitude of compliance regulations. This was especially a challenge with mobile apps because iTunes store and Google Play store strictly regulate apps that sell pharmaceutical drugs or controlled substances.
Solution: Our team worked with the changing technology needs such as the introduction of new iOS and Android devices to support changing user-interface guidelines and regulations from Apple and Google, understanding the web and mobile app store standards and legal issues for supporting cannabis e-commerce. This has enabled tökr to sell and ship CBD products through the web platform across the USA.
Improve Your Conversion Rate >
Serving The Growing Customer Base On-time
Challenge: With an ever-increasing customer base and the simultaneous influx of brands and dispensaries associating with tökr, the MVP application needed critical upgrades.
Solution: The application architecture that we had designed in the minimal-viable-product phase was robust enough, we just had to improve the technology stack and the cloud-server configuration. We enhanced the user-interface, improved the location services, optimized the apps for speed, and added a content delivery network and additional instances to the cloud-server cluster. This virtually eliminated the app crashes, reduced the bounce rate of customers, and increased their stay time and the number of page visits.
Improve Your Customer Satisfaction Rate >Expanding Reach and Building Significant Trust
Challenge: To grow quickly and capture the market before the competition, it was extremely important for tökr to boost trust among their customers and vendors alike.
Solution: We added multiple features including a rating and reviews system, product and vendor favorites, and analytics & reports. It allowed customers to judge the vendors and the quality of products based on community reviews. And also gave the vendors precise insights on their customers to help them continuously build brand awareness.
