A UK-based neon sign seller faced significant challenges in providing a seamless customization experience for their customers. Operating on a Shopify platform, the client lacked features enabling users to design personalized neon signs dynamically. To address these issues, the client collaborated with us to develop a mobile app that bridged this gap, providing customers with an innovative tool for neon sign customization and visualization. The project leveraged advanced technologies to enhance user engagement and operational efficiency, resulting in a transformative solution for the business.
The client’s business was hindered by several challenges:
Customers were unable to personalize neon signs directly on the Shopify platform, limiting the business's appeal.
The absence of an automated pricing system for custom designs led to inefficiencies.
Working with a supplier in China who lacked English proficiency created significant challenges in streamlining operations.
Accurate pricing for customized neon signs required intricate formulae that were difficult to implement manually.
To overcome these hurdles, our team developed a cutting-edge mobile app tailored to the client’s needs. Key elements of the solution included:
Integrated dynamic features allow users to input their text, choose from various fonts, and visualize neon signs in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Developed a system to calculate accurate pricing based on design specifications, incorporating length, width, and font details.
Enabled users to share their designs with others and gather feedback seamlessly.
Leveraged Shopify API, Next.js, Nest.js, MongoDB, PayPal, Stripe, Twilio, Docker, and AWS ECS to create a robust and scalable solution.
