What we delivered
- UX/UI
- iOS and Android App
Europe’s largest online fishing retail supplier, Angling Direct PLC is, set us the BIG challenge to create and deliver an eCommerce mobile app for iOS and Android that would match their already considerable and established online web presence.
We understood from the outset that our biggest challenge would be to display many thousands of products without slowing the user experience.
Our goal was to build a mobile app to complement and integrate with their highly successful website. We began with understanding online customer purchasing habits to apply them to our innovative mobile app environment. We used iBeacon technology to enable personalised and store specific offers when app users are in proximity of an Angling Direct physical store.
With thousands of products available, we built complex search and filtering systems to sort products by type, by brand, by price and even bestseller score!
We listened to customers and developed a ‘Quick Access’ Screen which allows instant access to the products they need.
We developed Home Cards to enable Angling Direct to keep their product continually up-to-date: a fully-customisable home screen experience to promote products ranges, sales and promotions. A Store Locator feature allows customers to find local stores based on location.
The App has also built-in support for a wide range of payment gateways including Google Pay, Apple Pay, Stripe and PayPal.
Designed and developed by Sugar Rush, the Angling Direct App has an instant impact and boost to sales.
The mobile app functionalities mirror the current website and add some unique app enhancements. The new mobile app is a seamless extension of the current website sales/order process with a fluid continuity when switching between app & web usage. iBeacon technology allows the app to present store-specific offers when users are in proximity to a physical store and mobile connectivity means the app can be accessed even in the remotest fishing environment.
