Thorn Technologies assists Cartera in developing responsive website and iPhone mobile app
Cartera Commerce, the largest provider of company-based shopping loyalty programs in the U.S., recently launched Splender on the web and for the iPhone, and Thorn Technologies played a crucial role in developing the product.
Overview of Splender
Splender is a shopping experience that helps you maximize online rewards. You can use Splender to find coupon codes and great offers while earning cash back from your favorite stores.
The app and website allow you to search by product or store, and automatically have your Splender account credited with cash back rewards when you make a qualified purchase at a merchant website. You can then get paid by PayPal or check at the end of each month.
How Thorn Technologies helped
Thorn Technologies provided development resources for both the Splender responsive website and native iOS app.
We leveraged our expertise in AngularJS to develop the responsive website that adapts to different screen sizes and deliver the optimal shopping rewards experience on all devices.
Using AngularJS, we built the “Recently Viewed Stores” section on the home page of Splender.com that displays the retailers most recently visited by the user. We also developed the user account pages that display discount earnings, recent activity, payment information, and more.
The Splender iOS mobile app was developed using Swift. In building the native app, we maximized our use of Apple’s vast set of APIs so we could focus on building client features.
By coding the app in Swift, instead of Objective-C, we reduced the potential risk of a costly rewrite down the road. Since we made the jump to Swift early on, we saved a lot of time by implementing features we’ve built in past projects.
“We were happy to help Cartera build such an interesting and useful app like Splender,” said Jeff Thorn, CEO of Thorn Technologies. “By leveraging our extensive mobile web and app development knowledge, Cartera potentially saved tens of thousands of dollars of development spend on this project.”
“It was my pleasure working with the crew at Thorn Technologies,” said Deepali Khushraj, Senior Product Manager at Cartera Commerce. “It’s hard to find a talented team like this with such razor sharp focus, delivering apps that are both beautiful and robust! Exceeded our expectations through great speed of delivery and quality of work.”
