CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Foxbox, a Chicago based app development company, successfully re-platformed a leading meal-kit delivery service's legacy mobile app to React Native resulting in an increase in meal kit conversions, App Store ratings, and user engagement rates. Their client's meal kit delivery service provides over 3 million meals to its customers each month. The project's results can be attributed to Foxbox's focus on building a great experience, the speed with which Foxbox built the app (twice as fast as their competitors), and the data-driven approach used to build better features.
The need to re-platform their mobile app was driven by a significant demand increase as the company was experiencing incredible growth, and found itself positioned as one of the fastest-growing private US companies in 2018 by Inc.com. This success, growth rate, and proven potential led to an acquisition by the US's largest supermarket chain in Summer 2018.
Given the spotlight and overnight demand spike that came with the acquisition, they had to move on from their legacy app to a first-class high performing mobile experience as quickly as possible. This drove them to contact Foxbox who was able to quickly develop a highly optimized, easy to use application on a short timeline.
"Foxbox's deep technical knowledge of React Native helped us move quickly through technical roadblocks. In early stages of the development, they guided us through architecture decision and foresaw many of the issues we would run into with our current development setup. If you're looking for React Native developers, I can't recommend them enough." said Matt Pulley, CTO.
The optimized app drove increased conversion rates, improved app store reviews, and boosted customer engagement. More details on the solutions that Foxbox provided and the results they generated are available at Foxbox's website http://www.foxbox.co.
Julian Rockwood, Head of Consumer Product, summarized his experience working with Foxbox saying "Simply put, Foxbox was amazing from start to finish. Their maturity in understanding our product, engineering, design, and business needs was exactly what we needed. They were proactive and intentional in every decision they brought forward. This product is core to our experience and we couldn't have imagined a better partner than Foxbox."
Lastly, Rob Volk, Foxbox's founder explained "It was an absolute pleasure to work on this project. Their needs aligned well with our offering as their customer experience issues required an upgrade of both their iOS and Android apps. They needed to do it fast and there were strict time constraints. It was a win-win engagement as we're experts in the React Native cross-platform app framework which enables us to build iOS and Android apps simultaneously. We look forward to being a trusted partner for the long haul."
