eCommerce Edge: Transform Your eCommerce Site into a Mobile App in Under Two Weeks

Welcome to another episode of the eCommerce Edge podcast, hosted by Jason Greenwood. Today, we had the pleasure of chatting with Pietro Saccomani, the founder of MobiLoud, a platform that quickly turns eCommerce websites into mobile apps. In this discussion, we uncovered the ins and outs of MobiLoud and the immense benefits it offers to eCommerce brands.

Meet Pietro Saccomani

Pietro Saccomani is a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in various business development roles, including a stint at Apple. He's been working in the eCommerce industry since 2012 and has founded multiple companies. MobiLoud is his latest venture, focused on making it easy for eCommerce sites to convert into mobile apps without the need for extensive coding or development work.

The Journey from Apple to eCommerce

Pietro's journey began at Apple, working in retail and managing their premium reseller program. This experience gave him his first taste of the retail world. In 2012, he started an agency focused on custom mobile app development. As mobile apps became more popular, Pietro and his team noticed a recurring demand: media companies and eCommerce sites wanted a mobile app presence without the hassle of creating one from scratch.

Seeing this need, Pietro developed MobiLoud, a low-code, no-code platform to help websites easily transition into mobile apps. Over the years, MobiLoud has evolved to meet the needs of diverse clients, including media companies, eCommerce brands and startups.

The Evolution of Mobile App Demand

The demand for mobile apps has evolved significantly over the past decade. Initially, apps were essential because websites weren't optimized for mobile. Today, many websites are responsive, but the need for mobile apps persists. Why? Because mobile apps offer features that responsive websites can't, such as push notifications and better user engagement.

Mobiloud's Unique Approach

MobiLoud stands out by offering a seamless way to turn your existing website into a mobile app. Unlike traditional app builders that rely on APIs and templates, MobiLoud operates as a ‘wrapper’ around your website. This means your mobile app is essentially a customized browser displaying your responsive site, augmented with native app features like push notifications and smooth navigation.

Key Features:

* Push Notifications: Engage users with timely updates and promotions.

* Native Navigation: Ensure a smooth user experience with fast, app-like navigation.

* Custom Integration: Works with any website, whether built on a platform like Shopify or custom-developed.

Why Businesses Choose Mobiloud

MobiLoud combines the benefits of a platform and a service. They don't just provide a tool; they help you get your app live and ensure it performs well. This hybrid model offers several advantages:

* Speed: Get your app live in as little as four days.

* Support: Ongoing support for updates, customizations, and app store approvals.

* Cost-Effective: Avoid the high costs and time commitments of custom app development.

Push Notifications: The Game Changer

Push notifications are a powerful tool for eCommerce brands. They allow you to re-engage users, promote new products, and offer personalized experiences. MobiLoud integrates with services like OneSignal to provide unlimited push notifications at no extra cost. This feature alone can significantly boost user engagement and sales.

Future Enhancements

MobiLoud continues to innovate. Here's what's on the horizon:

* AI-Generated Push Notifications: Automatically create notifications based on website updates.

* Personalization: Use machine learning to offer personalized recommendations and notifications.

* Platform Integrations: Expanding support for platforms like Salesforce, Magento, and BigCommerce.
