Koiko

Project Brief

Koiko is a membership reward mobile platform based in Sarawak, Malaysia. Jackson and his team approached us to build a mobile app to allow their loyal customers to enjoy rewards from their favorite merchants.

This customer loyalty and membership app development project demonstrates our expertise in building reward platforms for retail businesses, restaurants, cafes, and service providers across Malaysia. The technical architecture we developed for Koiko—featuring membership tiers, coupon management, and merchant browsing—can be adapted for shopping malls, franchise networks, beauty salon chains, fitness centers, and businesses requiring customer loyalty solutions.

Challenges

We’ve faced many clients with bad experiences with previous app developers, and Jackson is one of the many. After a few session with him and giving technical information that he lacks, we gave him the confidence to proceed with us.

We explained to Jackson on how app development process works Starting from brainstorming, and shifting to design wire frames & mockups, and lastly, development, which he had never experienced before with other developers.

We are having weekly meeting with Jackson to make sure he can visualize how his app will look like. We also update our progress time to time as we want to make sure he knows he is investing for a project that is going to blossom.

It took us 2.5 months to launch the mobile app to Google play store and Apple iOS App store.
