The task

The district has many partners: restaurants, cafés, museums and service providers. Their offers and dates were spread across websites, notice boards and social media. The goal was one place where visitors and residents find everything, and a tool that lets the partners maintain their own content.

The solution

An app for Android and iOS and a web CMS for the editorial team, partners and event organisers. We developed both and we run the platform.

  • Offers in five forms, from discounts to 2-for-1, with a run time and a limit
  • Wallet in the app: save a voucher and redeem it at the partner, even with a weak signal
  • Events from an external calendar, imported automatically and supplemented with own dates
  • Map of all partners, search and favourites
  • Roles for editors, partners and organisers; posts appear only after approval
  • CMS with media library, automatic image processing and content in two languages
