Our client, a techie eCommerce business owner from Ethiopia, wanted to bring an innovative app for selling traditional Ethiopian clothing.
The client had an Android app made in the Amharic language for local communities of Addis Ababa and wished to transform the user experience while addressing challenges.
The client wanted to reach a broader audience by developing a separate app for both Android and iOS platforms. The core objective was to build robust app solutions with simple navigation and advanced features for the clothing business.
The client’s existing Android app had payment-related issues and navigational problems. As a result, non-tech savvy audiences could not use the app properly. The lack of innovative features and limitation in terms of catalogue restricted the client’s business to grow quickly.
It was challenging to identify and integrate a reliable Ethiopian payment gateway.
Making an app that has simple navigation with features based on technological advancements was difficult.
Ensuring a seamless performance in both iOS and Android apps with synchronized features was a challenge.
The client wanted an app that could attract people from other African countries through advanced functionality.
Our in-house teams for Android and iOS app development have successfully addressed all the challenges to make robust native applications. We incorporated modern UI/UX principles to ensure simple yet intuitive navigation. We integrated Chapa, a popular Ethiopian payment gateway successfully into an Android app and in-app purchase functionality in an iOS app.
Our team has integrated ChatGPT 4.0 successfully in the TILF app for both Android OS and iOS. A successful Pebblely tool integration has made this application more useful on both platforms as it enables customers to check how clothes with customized designs or colors will look through AI-generated models.
