A need for speed
Box UK has extensive experience in delivering exceptional mobile experiences, not least in the following examples:
- Helping TBC Bank grow their customer base by 275% in just two years through the delivery of an award-winning multi-channel experience.
- Transforming Investec Asset Management’s digital platform into a responsive service in just 24 weeks from start to finish.
- Enabling medical professionals to access critical clinical information 40% faster than before through the BMJ Best Practice app.
Mobile and more
Creating an exceptional mobile experience is about so much more than just the technology you use. It’s about understanding the specific motivations, behaviours, expectations and constraints of your users across different devices. It’s about knowing how your users journey across and between different channels to achieve a goal. And it’s about predicting how emerging technologies and trends will change these behaviours, so you won’t get left behind.
This is why we involve technical and user experience consultants in our projects from the very earliest stages, alongside a mobile development team skilled in all the latest languages, tools and frameworks. To help you define a multi-channel strategy that not only supports your wider brand objectives but that drives business results.
Our mobile technologies
Frameworks and libraries
Providing well-tested, reliable code for common functionality.
Frameworks and libraries commonly used on projects are those designed to provide an overall structure to the codebase, often in an Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, or to provide an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM).
- Angular – JavaScript framework
- Cordova – mobile hybrid app platform
- Ionic – mobile hybrid app platform which is built on top of Cordova and Angular
- Gulp – JavaScript task runner
- React Native – an open-source mobile application framework used to develop applications for Android, iOS, Web and UWP
Testing and quality
Ensuring code meets our standards of quality.
- Jasmine – behaviour-driven JavaScript testing library
- Karma – test running environment for JavaScript
- Protractor – test running environment for JavaScript
- ESLint – JavaScript linter
- Sentry – service for tracking and logging errors and information about app usage
- Robot Framework – test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development
Sodexo
As part of Sodexo’s ongoing development roadmap, a mobile discounts app had been identified as a key strategic priority. Required within extremely tight timescales, Box UK worked quickly to collaboratively define a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), along with a roadmap of longer-term improvements.
Using Agile methodologies, the Sodexo Discounts app was delivered in just 8 two-week development sprints. Initial response to the application has surpassed Sodexo’s expectations with over 14,000 active users and 20,000 purchases since launch, proving it as a valuable revenue-generation stream for the client.
Investec
Following a comprehensive redesign and rebuild of their digital platform, the Investec Asset Management team asked our consultants for advice on where they could even further enhance the site, in order to serve their customers better again. The answer? Responsive.
With the updated site delivered in just 24 weeks from start to finish and responsive to a multitude of different devices, Investec Asset Management can now be confident that their incredibly high standards won’t be compromised as more and more of their customers choose to manage their investments on the move.
