Meet the supporters: Shapp.ly

2 out of 3 people shopping online fill out a shopping cart with all sorts of goodies and walk away. You have probably done that yourself many times. It’s called shopping cart drop. 

Reducing shopping cart drop requires engagement and confidence. Engagement is what you feel when you shop in a “favorite”- it’s fun and fulfilling because you know you get the best advice, shopping experice, products that suit your taste and budget and altogether people care about you. Engagement generally brings confidence and confidence makes you say goodbye to your hard earned money.

Webshops are constantly trying to get the shopper more and more engaged. It gets them higher conversion rates which is another word for cash. To do that, they need to either develop the solution themselves (expensive) or choose from many many solutions out there: some are great, most are less. Since choosing, engaging, on-boarding and working with multiple vendors is just as much pain as developing a solution yourself, we can see a problem emerging: there must be a way to increase engagement in a smart, yet affordable manner.

This is where shapp.ly comes into the picture. They’d like to offer a platform for developers to build engaging, smart yet affordable apps for web shops. The idea is to allow webshop owners to visit an app store and get cool apps to engage their shoppers better, implement it in a breeze and really spend their time learning what drive more sales than managing IT projects. Since apps are by nature “smaller”, a shop can also combine them to do advanced stuff like data driven testing, behavior based apps etc.

When they say stuff like “cool” and “smart” they mean they’re not just going to make all sorts of mashups and conventional API stuff. They’ll bring developers bleeding edge tools and capabilities in areas like gamification, mobile, social so they can really turn a shop engaging and fun to be in. They will also take care of all that eCommerce stuff for you, so you can jet focus on innovation, disruption and the fun things in life. Not shopping cart systems and product catalog management. 

If you’d like to hear more and join their forming developer community, please sign up for their dev list.

Saturday party in Mleczarnia

We’ll be chilling in Mleczarnia after Saturday talks. The party starts at 21:00. Make sure to take your conference badges with you. 

How to get there?

Located on ul. Włodkowica 5, but I recommend you to choose the entrance in backyard accessible from ul. Św. Antoniego. There’s a passage depicted below you should take to get there. It is also the shortest path from tram stop “Rynek” (tram lines 3, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 20)

If you’re located in the city centre that’s a 5 min walk from Market Square.

For the record: street views from the beginning of the passage, tram stop and front entrance.

Searching for a web development company who already organised and supported tons of events in Poland? It’s definitely Netguru. 

Netguru operates with Polands biggest banks and media houses. But the best thing about them is not their enormous success, but attitude towards people. When you visit Netguru headquarters you will be astonished by the friendly nature of all of their workers. It is a pleasure to work there and do business together.
