Historical Background
& Current Situation
In the rapidly digitizing world of sales and marketing, Würth Elektronik recognized the need to provide its stakeholders with a more interactive and comprehensive medium to access its vast product catalog. The traditional methods of showcasing their offerings and managing customer data were becoming less efficient and failed to provide the dynamic experience that modern customers expect.
Challenge
To design a versatile application that could encapsulate Würth Elektronik’s vast media catalog, streamline the sales process, and also serve as a centralized database for customer interactions, while ensuring offline-online support for uninterrupted service.
Solution
Our team at Leaware harnessed the power of Xamarin to craft a cohesive app tailored for both IOS and Android platforms. This app not only showcased their media catalog but also integrated functionalities like map search, customer data management, calendar integration, product ordering, and basket features for a seamless user experience. The inclusion of offline-online support ensured uninterrupted access, further enhancing user engagement.
