Benefits of retail app development with us

DICEUS has been providing retail mobile app development solutions and related services for years, building a firm professional foundation to guarantee high-quality collaboration and end products. We offer flexible cooperation opportunities with major workflow models, project-specific approaches, and structured development. Our backbone is our savvy professionals, who are willing and ready to take on a project of any scope and complexity to give you genuinely efficient results. 

Expertise 

Our developers possess not only profound engineering skills but also a good understanding of the retail industry. Knowledge of key retail business processes and challenges is crucial in building the right solution. We will choose the right tech stack and offer the most suitable software architecture according to your business goals and requirements.

Business analysis 

We recommend starting any project with a Discovery Phase as it ensures smooth, risk-free project development. After this phase, our customers get software requirements specification, recommended team composition and tech stack, project roadmap, software architecture design, risk evaluation and mitigation plan, and other valuable deliverables. 

Regular reporting

One of the major philosophies of our retail mobile app development practice is keeping everything as transparent as possible. By constantly keeping you in the know, we can achieve the best results, precisely matching your requirements and exceeding your expectations with the final product we deliver. For this, we maintain regular reporting on all big and small patches of the project completion.

Quality assurance

DICEUS professionals also know firsthand the importance of thorough testing of finished solutions. This is why we don’t limit the testing phase only to technical manual and automated tests. We have a separate department of QA specialists that help make sure the built app can satisfy the needs of target users in practice without putting them off with UI/UX flaws.

Our retail app development process

Discovery phaseNo matter the project’s type, scope, and purpose, the kick-off phase is project discovery, where our specialists get to know the client and their vision of the future product. This is where we discuss all the deal-making specifics, gather requirements, settle the workflow aspects, outline major milestones, conduct preliminary market and competitor research, and settle all other prep stage specifics to kick off the smoothest workflow.
DevelopmentWith all the preliminary information and a clear product vision, we immediately start the complex technical part of the project – software development. This stage usually consists of two big efforts – design and development. First, we outline the structure and design the foundation of the product. Then, we fill the carcass with functionality and set all features in motion by hardcoding certain parts and integrating others.
TestingThe crucial finalizing stage of retail application development of any size and shape is thorough testing. We have separate teams of testing and QA specialists that combine manual and automated tests and conduct quality assurance testing via honed user perspective-driven techniques. This allows us to thoroughly polish products before launching them into public use and avoid many headaches related to a flawed finished solution.
DeploymentLast but not least, the important finalizing stage is that we don’t drop your project right after completing all the software. We also help you most properly deploy it in the required operational environment. This can be integration with a bigger system, publication in an app marketplace, or launch of an app in any other manner you need. With deployment handled by specialists, you can eliminate and avoid numerous post-launch tech issues.

We were impressed by the depth of the UX analysis they did in terms of our customer’s research, buyer persona creation, user journey mapping, etc. All the information like research findings, for instance, was presented in a clear form (presentations, Miro boards, clear infographics) so it was quite easy to understand what we need to build and why.
