"Developers.dev's team was exceptional. Their enterprise experience was clear from the start. They understood the complexities of integrating with our legacy POS and ERP systems, a challenge that other vendors shied away from. The new eWallet has been a resounding success, leading to a 20% increase in loyalty program engagement."
VP of Marketing, RetailCo Global
A multinational retail corporation with over 500 stores across the USA and EMEA. Their existing customer loyalty program was outdated, relying on physical cards and a clunky web portal. They sought to enhance customer engagement, gather better data, and streamline the checkout process by launching a branded mobile eWallet that integrated payments, rewards, and personalized offers.
The client's legacy systems made it difficult to offer a modern, seamless loyalty experience. They needed a partner who could not only build a sophisticated mobile application but also handle the complex backend integrations required to connect with their existing infrastructure, including Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, inventory management, and CRM.
Needed to sync user data, loyalty points, and transaction history with multiple, disparate internal systems.
The eWallet had to work seamlessly for both in-store (via QR codes) and online purchases.
Protecting the personal and financial data of millions of customers was paramount.
The app had to be intuitive and valuable enough to convince millions of existing loyalty members to switch to a digital-first platform.
We assigned a Custom Enterprise Solutions Pod, augmented with specialists from our Data Governance & Data-Quality Pod, to tackle the project.
We built a secure middleware layer to act as a bridge between the new eWallet backend and the client's legacy systems. This decoupled the systems, allowing for a modern architecture without replacing the entire infrastructure.
Our design studio conducted extensive user research to create an intuitive interface that made it easy to check points, redeem offers, and pay with a single scan.
We planned a phased rollout, starting with a pilot in 20 stores to gather feedback and ensure system stability before a full-scale launch.
We implemented a multi-layered security approach, including tokenization for payments, end-to-end encryption, and regular security audits, all while adhering to GDPR and CCPA.
In-depth analysis of legacy systems and architecture design for the middleware layer.
Development of the core eWallet backend, middleware, and secure APIs.
Native iOS and Android app development, focusing on the user-facing features.
Integration with the client's CRM for personalized offer delivery.
Pilot launch in select stores, QA, and performance testing under real-world conditions.
Full rollout across all regions, accompanied by a dedicated post-launch support team.
The company saw a 20% uplift in loyalty program activity and a 15% increase in average transaction value for app users.
The app provided rich, real-time data on customer purchasing behavior, enabling highly effective personalized marketing campaigns.
In-store checkout times for app users were reduced by an average of 30 seconds.
The project was hailed internally as a major success, proving the value of modernizing customer-facing technology.
By combining modern app development with deep expertise in enterprise system integration, Developers.dev delivered a solution that transformed the client's loyalty program from a liability into a powerful competitive advantage. Our strategic approach mitigated the risks of working with legacy systems and delivered a secure, scalable platform that drives tangible business results.
