Vivino had a concept of making a feature-packed app by which users can buy the best-in-class wines with ease. Making a highly scalable and secure application with OCR features was difficult. Apart from that, Vivino also wanted to add a tracking feature to their application that will keep wine tasted, rated & purchased records.

Our developers precisely understood Vivino’s all project requirements and started developing an app from scratch. To build a robust online wine marketplace, adding unique features is essential. Here are the 4 most crucial features that help wine businesses grow. They include:

1. Intuitive App Builder:

Developing & handling your wine on complex eCommerce can be very time-consuming. That’s why it’s recommended to use a scalable and user-friendly app builder.

2. Reliable and Secure Payment System:

eCommerce platforms provide API integrations with multiple payment processing systems. Reliable payment processors give an impressive user experience.

3. Advanced Marketing Tools:

Diverse marketing tools always bring an excellent way to connect with worldwide wine lovers.

4. Actionable Reporting:

Insightful reporting and data analytics help businesses find out their traffic sources & allow them to create a complete competitor analysis.

Looking for App Development Services?

We offer next-gen app development services to help brands simplify business complexities with ease.

Based on that, our community application development experts focused on smart techniques and approaches to building this top digital platform for authentic wines. During app design and development, we concentrated on the followings:

1. Frictionless Buying Process

Minimizing friction in the buying process enhances the shopping experience. The frictionless buying process does:

Offer detailed and clear product descriptions, user-friendly interface & high-quality images to make it easier for customers to buy the best product

Allow wine lovers to self-select preferences. Customers can filter products based on wine brands, region, bottle size & quantities, etc.

Provide live chat support to help consumers get preferred wine brands based on the preferences

Offer multiple payment options, including debit & credit cards, PayPal, and other online payment systems that allow customers to pay securely

Streamlines the checkout procedure by minimizing the steps required for completing a wine purchase and also accelerates the delivery processes

Offers accurate shipping & return policies. This minimizes uncertainty & also makes every customer feel very confident about their shopping

2. Personalization

Personalization takes the customer buying experience to new heights. Recommendation engines allow businesses to utilize analytics to understand their customers’ choices, preferences as well as purchase history. This analytics can also be used for offering promotional offers and product recommendations. So, whether you are a wine enthusiast or an active buyer, the personalized wine recommendations of a wine app will give you an unparalleled shopping experience.

3. Human-centered Selling

Well, this is an innovative selling approach that effectively prioritizes customers’ interests, needs as well as exact pain points in the entire process of selling. This means utilizing market research and behavioral data to find out the wine preferences of customers. Online wine marketplaces must offer several options that suit multiple preferences & budgets, rather than focusing on a single wine brand or product. It also helps to make a strong relationship with potential customers and boost revenue.
