Hubo

Hubo, a leading DIY retailer with over 160 stores in Belgium, sought to enhance its digital presence through their own mobile app. While their webshop and promotional campaigns were well-established, they needed a user-friendly mobile app to streamline the customer loyalty program and broaden their strategy to a omni-channel approach.

The challenge was to create an intuitive mobile app that integrated seamlessly with their existing systems, such as their product search & promotional tools, while meeting the demands of modern DIY shoppers and digitizing the physical bonus card.

We kicked off the project with an interactive workshop involving key stakeholders from Hubo’s marketing and IT teams. This session helped us define the app’s core objectives, pinpoint user pain points and explore design directions ultimately shaping our design strategy to align with Hubo’s vision.

Our solution

Through the long standing partnership between Xplore Group and Hubo, we partnered with Fabrikate to craft a great mobile user experience. While Fabricate meticulously handled the UX/UI designs, we brought this to live in an iOS and Android mobile app.

We concentrated on:

  • Integration with existing e-commerce landscape:
  • Native vs embedded:
  • Cross platform experience:

Main features:

The native features in the Hubo mobile app focus on the loyalty aspect of the customer journey while the shopping experience is embedded via web pages. This created an optimal balance between cost and return and avoiding to duplicate complex logic.

The main features in the app are:

  • Customer onboarding & loyalty card creation
  • Bonus point history & coupons
  • Wishlist
  • Orders & receipts

The result:

The project lead to a modern, cross platform, mobile app which is a game change for Hubo in bringing their loyalty program directly into the hands of their customers.

Through intense collaboration between the Unlockd team and the Hubo back-end team we crafted the mobile experience and delivered this into the hands of ten thousands of users.
