Custom mobile apps for grocery brands
Your customers shop wherever ordering is easiest. Native iOS and Android apps, built on your website, put your store on their home screen, and this week's deals and fresh arrivals on their lock screen.

Why grocery brands should have an app
Your regular customers order every week or two. Becoming their habit is worth far more than any single basket. An app gives you a place on their home screen, a faster way to reorder and a direct line to their lock screen.
The customers who order from you a few times in a row are the ones who stay. Your app keeps them signed in, with their account and past orders a tap away, so the weekly order takes minutes, and a push before your order cutoff brings them back on schedule.
Seasonal produce, the day's catch and short-dated stock can't wait for next week's newsletter. A push the morning it arrives brings shoppers in while it's fresh, and helps you sell perishables before they go to waste.
Put this week's deals, bundles and app-only offers on the lock screen, and give shoppers a reason to add a few more items before checkout. Loyalty members stay signed in, with their rewards ready when they pay.
Your margins are thin, and retargeting ads that win back last week's customers eat into every order. Push reaches every shopper who installed your app, right on their lock screen, so the next order doesn't have to start with an ad.

"Great software, great people to work with. It actually works. Going with them was like having an agency for the mobile app - I've got teammates, I've got help. The process was easy and there was no pushback."
"MobiLoud made launching our mobile app effortless. Everything on our Shopify website updates automatically in our app, and push notifications have replaced expensive remarketing campaigns. Having our brand icon on customers' phones is a game-changer for retention."
Built on your website
Your website already handles delivery windows, pickup slots, substitutions, stock that changes by the hour and thousands of products to search. MobiLoud builds your app on top of it, so every piece works in the app from launch day.
Delivery slots, order cutoffs and click-and-collect from tools like Zapiet, with the same availability customers see on your site.
Live stock levels, stock by store and substitution preferences work in the app exactly as they do on your website.
Your site search, from tools like Searchanise or Klevu, with filters for dietary needs, brands and aisles.
Your checkout with saved addresses, delivery notes and the payment options your customers use, including Apple Pay.
Weekly specials, bundles, promo codes and free-delivery thresholds, set up where you manage them today.
Points, rewards and member pricing from Smile.io, Yotpo or your own program, with members signed in between orders.
Recipe pages with shoppable ingredient lists, meal plans and seasonal guides, in your own design.
Order updates and delivery tracking from tools like Route or AfterShip, the same way customers get them from your site.

The operating model
Your store changes every day: prices, stock, delivery slots and this week's specials. Each change goes live in your app immediately, with no duplicate work dragging you down.

MobiLoud vs the alternatives
Custom native apps can take a year to build, with your delivery slots, substitutions and stock rules rebuilt from scratch. Template app builders can't handle most of that, and some take a cut of every order on your already thin margins. MobiLoud builds your app on the website that already does it all.

Getting live
Your team's part is small: a kickoff call, your brand assets and a few approvals. We handle the build, the testing and both app store reviews.
Week 1
We plan the app and its launch with you, from tab menus to the offers you want to promote first, and you give us access to your store and developer accounts.
Weeks 1 to 2
We build the app on your live website and test delivery slots, pickup, substitutions and checkout from start to finish. You can try a working preview by week two.
Weeks 1-2
We fine-tune the design, connect push notifications and analytics (GA4 and Firebase), and test on iOS and Android before your final approval.
Weeks 2 to 4
We submit both apps under your developer accounts and manage the reviews, which typically take one to two weeks. Then your launch plan starts, from site banners and email to QR codes in store.
We can deliver everything your legal, security and finance teams will ask for:
Have any more questions we didn't answer? Book a 30-minute call or send us a message to clear it all up.
Book a callGrocery brands send push notifications for weekly specials, fresh and seasonal arrivals, reminders before an order cutoff, back-in-stock items, loyalty offers and abandoned carts. Every notification can carry a photo and link to a product, a category or this week's specials page. Push comes from your own OneSignal account, or from Klaviyo on the Enterprise plan, and we set it up with you during onboarding.
Yes. The app is built on your live website, so delivery windows, order cutoffs, click-and-collect, stock by store and substitution preferences work exactly as they do there, whether they come from a tool like Zapiet or your own setup. Customers see the same availability in the app as on your site.
Yes. Customers stay signed in, so their account, saved addresses and order history are always a tap away. If your site has a reorder button, a buy-again list or shopping lists, those work in the app too.
If your checkout accepts EBT and SNAP today, it works in the app the same way, because the app uses your existing checkout. So do Apple Pay and any gift cards or store credit you offer.
Yes. If shoppers choose a store or delivery area on your site, they do the same in the app and see that location's stock, prices and delivery slots. Chains that want a separate app for each banner or region can have one, and multi-region setups are part of the Enterprise plan.
Yes. Shoppers download it from the App Store and Google Play, where it's published under your own developer accounts. We build it on your live website and add what makes it an app: a tab bar and navigation, push notifications, staying signed in, social login and deep links. MobiLoud has published more than 2,000 apps since 2013.
Yes, for anyone with the app installed. We set up universal links on iOS and app links on Android, so a link in your weekly email or a text message opens the right product or page in the app. Customers without the app see your mobile site as usual. Your web team adds two small setup files, which we provide.

Most stores are live 2 to 4 weeks after kickoff: one to two weeks to set up, build, test and approve the app, then one to two weeks of app store review. If a busy season is coming, we'll plan the launch date around it.
Your regular customers are the easiest to reach. We help you plan the launch: a banner on your mobile site, an email to your list, social posts, and QR codes on receipts, delivery bags and store signage. An app-only offer, like free delivery on the first app order, gives people a reason to install.
The Business plan is $1,499 a month, or $1,274 a month billed annually, plus a one-time fee to build and submit the app, with up to 10,000 monthly active users included. Enterprise is custom-priced. Neither plan takes a share of your sales, which matters on your margins: what you pay doesn't grow with the orders the app brings in.
Your business does. We publish both apps under your own Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, which means the store listings, reviews, install base, analytics and shopper data all belong to you. MobiLoud keeps the intellectual property in the platform that builds the app, and if you ever move on, the listings and your customers go with you.
After a short call, we'll build a free, interactive preview of your app from your website. Browse your aisles, pick a delivery slot and fill a basket, with no commitment.
