Best Buy

Our founder's team, 2011

Built Best Buy's Android app from scratch and launched it in one month, in time for Black Friday.

The challenge

With one month until Black Friday, one of the biggest retail days of the year, Best Buy had an iPhone app underway but no Android app, and the app was not yet connected to its thousands of in-store products.

What we built

• → The Android app, built from scratch, working side by side with Best Buy's team.
• → Real-time inventory across thousands of in-store products, so shoppers saw what was actually available.
• → Follow-on features: wish lists and wedding registries, open-box and clearance search, Deal of the Day, and in-app scan-and-compare.

The result

The app launched on time for Black Friday and has been downloaded more than 10 million times.
