Overview

IPlaid Pantry, a long-standing convenience store chain in the Pacific Northwest, sought to modernize its mobile app to improve user engagement and better support its digital marketing efforts. Facing challenges such as an outdated user interface, limited personalization, and ineffective age verification, the company needed a flexible, future-ready platform.

Nymbl partnered with Plaid Pantry to completely redesign the mobile app using FlutterFlow, delivering a modern and intuitive user experience. A custom Retool admin interface was also developed to enable real-time content management and engagement tracking. Additionally, integrations with LexisNexis and Altria were implemented to support secure age verification and enable targeted marketing.

The result was a fully revamped, scalable platform that improved usability, boosted engagement, and streamlined backend operations—positioning Plaid Pantry for long-term digital growth and deeper customer loyalty.

Challenges

Outdated user interface and poor user experience
The existing app design felt dated and failed to meet modern usability standards, discouraging user interaction.

Low user engagement with the existing app
Users were not returning to the app consistently, leading to missed opportunities for brand loyalty and promotions.

Lack of personalized features for users
The app delivered a generic experience, limiting its ability to cater to individual user preferences and behaviors.

Inaccurate or ineffective age verification
The previous system lacked robust verification, which was critical for compliance and targeted promotions.

Limited ability to target marketing efforts
Without data-driven targeting, campaigns were broad and less effective in reaching the right audience.

No centralized system for real-time content management
App content updates required manual changes and lacked flexibility, making the process inefficient and slow.

Difficulty managing and updating app content efficiently
Admins had limited tools to control or adjust app experiences dynamically, leading to delays and inconsistent messaging.
