About Project
A story about the development of a mobile app for a large chain of 189 draught beer stores. It started as a simple renovation of the loyalty program. But in the end, the client got a proper communication channel that allowed them to gather information about their buyers, increase average check amount, and become more customer-oriented.
Goals and Solution
What was the client's need?
- Simplify the use of special offers
- Continuous monitoring of purchases and accruals/withdrawals for all stores and customer profiles
- Make an extension of the loyalty program less expensive
That's why we've decided to:
- Replace existing plastic cards with a multifunctional digital tool
- Create a personalized, user-friendly, and gamified application
Key achievements
What’s more powerful than just creating a mobile app for saving discounts? Turning it into an engaged community of beer lovers, where customers share impressions, leave thousands of ratings and notes about new brews, and help the brand grow.
385K+

4M+

64K

This way we transformed a loyalty program into a living ecosystem where users not only buy but interact, recommend, and co-create the brand experience.

How we met Beerpoint
When choosing one of their beer pints, of course 🍻
But, to be honest, we joined the project in 2021, when the client had:
- 100+ beer stores in their retail chain
- Sophisticated plastic card loyalty program
Customers could accumulate points through cashback and then spend them later or take advantage of a fixed discount. In addition, every 15th liter of beer is free with the bonus card, and they can accumulate up to 5 liters.
💡 So we needed to move all the existing loyalty program data and specifics into a mobile application with comprehensive functionality. And also make things easy-to-use for the client and their customers.
What was done on the first release?
We started with digitalizing the program invented by the client as the first step toward business transformation.
It includes the following features:
Fast profile access
Open the homepage in one click with personal barcode, card and bonus statuses, list of last orders, push notification switch button.Purchase history
View the order and payment details with ability to rate favorite items.Bonus spending options
Accumulate points through cashback and then spend them later or use a fixed discount.Searching filters

In addition to all the shops being shown on the map with easy route building, we also added filters by working hours.Special offers
Watch or skip promotional banners with participation requirements to get more gifts and discounts from the brand.
The results we came up with
No to plastics, fat wallets and missed discounts.
Yes to a handy application and a discount card always at hand, as well as the possibility to track that free 15th liter.
Just a convenient app that’s always at hand — and now backed by millions of completed purchases and thousands of engaged users. It has become much more than a loyalty tool — it’s a digital community built around great beer and customer experience.

What happened next?
The app was working perfectly, and user engagement was growing rapidly. In 2022, the client decided to introduce new capabilities to make it even more convenient and effective.
When the project started, the Beerpoint chain included 189 stores. Today, with the loyalty app becoming a key communication and sales channel, the network has expanded to 211 locations nationwide. This growth reflects not only the client’s strong business performance, but also how the digital transformation and customer data from the app supported further expansion.

What about the latest improvements?
In 2023, the client came back with the idea of making bonus earning more game-like, in line with emerging trends in loyalty program development.
But such improvements also required some interface changes.
And here are some results after gamification release:
from 2.5 to ~3
Items per order increase

Timelines
Prototyping and design of the original app took 1.5 months. Development took another 2 months. And then it took 3 weeks to fine-tune the application with real data and scenarios.
But we're always in touch with the customer and adding new features to the app to make it scalable and able to meet new business objectives.

The essence of the project
The application allows users to forget about the need to check the level of bonuses on the card, when they were accrued and withdrawn, etc. Everything is clearly visualized and thought through in terms of UX/UI.
It serves as an additional marketing tool: it has promotions, news, push notifications. A clear and smooth connection is established allowing the brand to control the quality of products and the employees' work and improve the customer loyalty.
It is possible to mitigate any negative feelings from the customers by offering some free liters of beer.
What is the value for brands that would want to use such a solution?
The Beerpoint app is a perfect example of what a loyalty program should look like, serving the needs of both the customer and the business. If you're a B2C business, just look at how many benefits you can get.
