The challenge

Boojum had an extremely successful paper-based loyalty scheme and a very loyal customer base using it. They wanted to transition to a digital loyalty system and gain the advantages an app provides:

  • More direct marketing
  • Customer engagement
  • A platform for longer-term growth

Importantly, the system had to be developed around existing infrastructure; for instance, their ePOS system and online ordering were already in place, so we needed to develop a solution that worked within the constraints of these third-party systems.

The primary goal was to deliver what was already there but on a new and supported platform. Critically, this included not breaking things that were already working well, such as SEO and legacy content.

As the migration needed to happen anyway, a natural question became, “What improvements can we make while doing this?”

The approach

We worked closely with Boojum to understand how the scheme operated, so we could understand the brand and create a user experience that matches the expectations of their customer demographic.

We also worked with their third-party suppliers to develop an integration that enabled us to deliver a good customer experience while working within the parameters of existing systems.

The solution

The Boojum app was released for iOS and Android and was quicky adopted as a customer favourite, rising to the top 50 in Apple’s ranking for restaurant and food apps.

It was an especially important tool through the COVID-19 crisis, providing a convenient way for customers to order food.
