About.

Katchii is a free location based shopping discovery app that helps users step out of their their comfort zone and experience a mall to its fullest.

Designed for locals, travelers, and voyeurs, Katchii uncovers the unexpected, off-the-beaten-path, and highly interesting places that only a few people know about. Their hand-picked Katchii-kins are truly experts about things to do, eat, and drink in selected areas.

Katchii can be many things to different people. From a business standpoint, Katchii helps them discover new customers, offer promotions, backed by a built in loyalty system that’s available for any business subscribers.

Solutions.

The loyalty program for Katchii, is built from scratch using Ruby on Rails and incorporates several innovative technologies such as proximity marketing and location-based services, in-store beacons, and the use of push notifications through the mobile application.

The beating heart of the whole project is the Katchii’s loyalty system, Katcoin. Together, engine and mobile application create a one-to-one communication channel between the brand, stores, employees and customers. This additional technology allows Katchii to provide customers with in-store navigation or send them location-based offers and messages.

To attract both the consumers and business users, Katchii’s website is designed to be clean, modern, colorful, friendly to reflects the high level of professional experience that clients can expect from working with them.

Application features.

User experience – UX, for short – is how a person feels when interacting with a digital product. UX encompasses a lot of factors, some that are controllable by designers and developers and some that are environmental or just user preference. These factors include usability, accessibility, performance, design/aesthetics, utility, ergonomics, overall human interaction and marketing.

User experience is key for small and start-up businesses as well because the site is their first impression to users. Here are some of the features that we’ve build for SeriGreen’s website, to further enhance the user experience.

Conception

It all started with a simple idea.

As a tool or skill, sketching has its role in the design process. That role will vary depending on the end-product being created, the size and scope of the project, the individual designer’s style, experience, and workflow, and the client’s expectations.

From the initial sketch, we convert them into a full fledged colorful design, capturing the essence of  the original idea that was captured in the original sketch.

Showcase.

I want to express my appreciation for the wonderful job and the excellent service that Scellus did in creating our first ever application, Katchii.

They were very responsive to our needs and changing requirements. This was our first experience in the world of apps, however, with the support, help, ideas & dedication offered to me by the wonderful team of Scellus, expect more apps to roll. I can’t express how pleased I am.
