The challenge? Streamlining the experience for tens of thousands of buyers and visitors navigating the expansive Bella Center – a sprawling 50,000 sqm space housing 1000 brands.

Tech Stack
The app is designed and built using React Native – a powerful open-source UI software framework cross programming language, allowing us to deploy truly native apps across iOS and Android simultaneous and with a shared codebase for efficient and cost-effective development.
The app utilises the Mapbox JS framework for custom designed mapping and connects to our own purpose build API and SDK.
