What features are key for a retail app?

Features like product search, one‑tap checkout, personalised offers, real‑time inventory and loyalty integration are now essential.

How long does it take?

Prediction: a lean MVP might take ~3‑4 months; advanced feature‑rich apps 6+ months, depending on scope and integrations

How do we ensure it works across platforms and channels?

By building responsive/design‑adaptive UIs, integrating with back‑end systems, and conducting real‑device testing across mobile/web.

What about omnichannel and in‑store functionality?

Apps today often need to connect with in‑store inventory, click‑and‑collect, customer loyalty—so we plan for cross‑channel breadth from the start.
