In Spring 2019, Alko launched a mobile app as part of a bigger program, the goal of which is to serve Alko’s customers the best possible way wherever they are. In 2016 Alko launched a webstore to support its 360-store network and has continued to develop its omnichannel customer experience based on customer feedback. The mobile app is one step towards world-class customer service.

The case

Columbia Road, together with Alko, designed and built the Alko Mobile app.

On a mobile device, the Alko app is the most convenient way to interact with Alko. Over 1000 customers took part in different phases of the project to ensure a high-quality end product.

Working together with Columbia Road was a pleasure! The project team was highly skilled, professional and proactive, which made my role as a Product Owner a lot easier.
