Cosmetic care mobile app

Project Objective:

Ombre’s goal was to establish a closer connection with customers by launching a mobile app. This app would enable users to seamlessly book appointments for services, purchase products from the Ombre store, and manage their membership points. Users would track and redeem points on any product or service, fostering a more personalized and interactive beauty experience.

  Elaboration of Key Challenges:

  1. Applying Vouchers Based on Appointments: The challenge lies in integrating a system that accurately applies vouchers based on appointment details, ensuring a smooth and error-free process.
  2. Handling Payment Errors: Retrieving and displaying data from payment providers in the UI during payment errors requires robust error-handling mechanisms to provide users with clear and actionable information.
  3. Creating Voucher from Points and Selecting Date, Time, and Service: This challenge involves developing a seamless process for users to create vouchers from earned points while selecting specific date, time, and services during the appointment booking.
  4. Modifying Appointments After Booking: Enabling users to modify appointments post-booking necessitates a careful implementation to maintain data integrity and synchronize changes across the system.

The Ombre Mobile Beauty App successfully brought the brand closer to its customers, providing a user-friendly platform for booking services, purchasing products, and managing membership points. The challenges posed during development were overcome, allowing for smooth application functionality. The app’s deployment on Android and iOS platforms expanded Ombre’s reach and solidified its position at the forefront of personalized and tech-driven beauty experiences, enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction.
