U-Like-It
Complete digital product ecosystem – app, merchant suite, backend and web platform.
An end-to-end ecosystem of mobile app, business features, cloud infrastructure and analytics pipelines – proof of complete SaaS and app development, not just individual frontends.
- Technical challenge
- A digital product was to function as an ecosystem – app for end customers, business features for merchants, backend, web platform and analytics on shared infrastructure.
- Architecture
- Central cloud infrastructure with shared authentication, APIs, geo and map features, QR-based processes, as well as analytics and conversion tracking across the entire user journey.
- Engineering challenges
- Consistency across all components, mapping complex business workflows and an operable setup with observability and deployment.
- Demonstrated capabilities
- Complete app and SaaS ecosystem development, cloud architecture, authentication, geo/maps integration and analytics pipelines.
U-Like-It is a Riegel Systems engineering case for a digital product ecosystem. It is not about a single app, but about the entire value chain: a mobile app for end customers, business features for merchants, a scalable backend and a web platform – all on shared infrastructure.
The screens show excerpts from the real product interface: the app for end customers as well as the business features for merchants – from offer management via the publishing workflow to sales statistics.
Components
- Mobile App
- Merchant / business features
- Backend & API
