— Case study · Product development
Crafted with care.
Fusionary's office used to be across the street from Founders and we've enjoyed many a great beer there. So when they asked us to bid on their first mobile app years ago, we were all in.
— What shipped
Beer lineup driven by CMS data
Beer finder pulling from Founders' retail management system
iOS and Android launched simultaneously
2022 redesign on updated corporate branding
Rebuilt on React Native for easier support
— The brief
It was clear Founders desired a partner with as much passion for their craft as they have for theirs — and we were thrilled to be selected to design and develop the new mobile app.
Founders Brewing Co. · Mobile app
Designed, built, and launched on iOS and Android simultaneously.
01
— The problem
The problem.
Founders wanted a first mobile app that could carry their beer lineup and help drinkers find their beer nearby — and years later, a dated look and aging tech stack needed a refresh.
02
— How we helped
How did we help?
We designed and developed the app, then returned in 2022 to rebuild it on React Native with updated branding.
CMS-driven lineup
The beer lineup is powered by CMS data so Founders controls what drinkers see without an app release.
Beer finder
The finder pulls live data from Founders' retail management system to show where beer is available.
2022 rebuild
A redesign on updated corporate branding, rebuilt on React Native to modernize the stack and simplify support.
03
— The outcome
The outcome.
One app, two platforms, launched together — and refreshed years later without starting over.
Simultaneous dual-platform launch
iOS and Android shipped at the same time so no part of the audience waited.
Content Founders controls
The CMS-driven lineup and retail-system beer finder keep the app current without engineering involvement.
“Beer Me!”
Our favorite new feature pops up brew suggestions based on the user's filters.
Founders mobile app
