The Big Problem
To create a robust mobile app for Kenya’s largest online pharmacy, allowing them to reach a significant mobile audience and complement their existing e-commerce offering. Key requirements include high performance to ensure a good experience on a large number of low-spec devices in circulation, and a data-conscious design to ensure maximum functionality under limited network conditions.

The Solution
To develop a pair of performant native apps for iOS and Android that can retrieve and render a vast array of products from a sophisticated backend system. Integrate a number of payment gateways at the app-level in order to give users a flexible checkout experience. Allow for doctor’s prescriptions to be uploaded through the app for verification by a chemist. Maintain a data-conscious throughout the app, allowing the app to function and be responsive even under limited connectivity.
