Monizze -Revamping & deploying a +10 year old mobile app to more than 700K users in Belgium in 3 months

Client Overview

Monizze is a leading Belgian company specializing in digital employee benefits, offering meal vouchers, eco vouchers & gift cards.

With over 700k users depending on their mobile app to manage these benefits, Monizze realized the need to modernize their app to better serve their growing audience.

They aimed to provide a smoother, more user-friendly experience that could easily adapt to evolving user needs & market demands.

The Challenge

Monizze’s existing mobile app, built on an outdated native codebase, was limiting their ability to innovate & respond quickly to user needs. Each update required substantial development effort, leaving little room for rapid improvements or feature testing.

The app’s slow performance & outdated design led to frustration among users, who expected a more modern & intuitive experience.

They needed a complete overhaul of their mobile platform with a solution that would offer greater flexibility & enable faster feature deployment to keep up with the demands of their massive user base.

Our Solution

Our team stepped in to completely transform Monizze’s mobile app, not only modernizing its design & functionality but also building a more agile & adaptable platform for future growth. Key elements of our solution included:

• Cross-Platform Transformation: We rebuilt the app using React Native, enabling Monizze to streamline development across iOS & Android, reducing effort & improving flexibility for future updates. This transition empowered Monizze to roll out new features & fixes more quickly than before.

• Code Push for instant updates: By implementing Code Push, Monizze could deliver real-time updates without waiting for app store approvals, allowing them to test & release new features more frequently & respond to user feedback faster.

• Mobile Design System: To ensure consistency & scalability, we developed a mobile design system with reusable UI components & standardized elements. This system allowed for easy future updates while maintaining a cohesive and modern look.

• Progressive Release Strategy: We adopted this newstrategy, allowing for a controlled rollout of new features to smaller user segments first. This minimized risk & allowed Monizze to monitor performance before a full-scale deployment.

• Enhanced Performance & Usability: We optimized the app to deliver faster performance & a seamless user experience (UX). With a sleek new design, users could easily manage their benefits, whether accessing meal vouchers, eco vouchers, or gift cards, through a more intuitive interface.

Results & Impact

The transformation of Monizze’s mobile app led to significant improvements in both performance & user engagement:

• Faster Development Cycles: Switching to React Native reduced development time significantly, allowing Monizze to introduce new features & updates much more quickly.

• Improved User Experience: The new app design and smoother navigation led to a notable increase in user engagement within the first three months of the relaunch, as users found the app more convenient & easy to use.

• Enhanced Stability: The combination of Code Push & a progressive release strategy resulted in a substantial reduction in user-reported issues, improving overall app stability & contributing to higher app store ratings.

• Scalability for Future Growth: Monizze is now equipped with a scalable platform that can easily adapt to new user needs & rapidly implement future updates & features. 🚀
