Taking over and launching a venue discount app in Georgia

About

About this project

Gasvla is a subscription app that gives people discounts at venues in Tbilisi, Georgia. Its founder had part of an app built and needed a team to finish it. LNOKS took over the code and delivered production-ready iOS and Android apps in 3 months, with payments, a finished listing UI and panels for admins and venue managers. The app is live on the App Store and Google Play, and Gasvla’s website now shows 400+ active users. Venue managers keep their own offers current.

Starting point

The challenge

  1. 01

    The founder had part of the app running on a simulator but not ready for the stores.

  2. 02

    Apple sign-in, email verification, subscriptions, search and notifications were still to do, as was the first Google Play release.

  3. 03

    The app was meant to give residents and tourists in Georgia one place to find venue discounts, and give venues a way to manage their own offers.

How a Gasvla discount is redeemed: the guest’s phone shows a 20% offer with code 4827, and the venue panel confirms the same code at the table

Deliverables

What we delivered

  • The existing code, finished

    We took over the React Native code and shipped production iOS and Android apps from it.

  • Design where there was none

    No design screens existed, so we created the interface as we finished the product listing.

  • Payments and sign-in

    Stripe for payments, Google and Apple sign-in, email verification and notifications.

  • Panels for admins and venues

    Admins manage the platform, and venue managers keep their own offers up to date.

In practice

How Gasvla works for a visitor and a venue

Venues keep their own offers current, and subscribers use them on the spot.

  1. A venue manager adds or updates offers in their own panel.

  2. A visitor downloads the app and signs in with Google or Apple.

  3. They subscribe through the app.

  4. They search for a venue by category and find its offers.

  5. They use the offer at the venue and save.

Six venue categories with their Gasvla discounts, including dining, cafés, bars and activities, beside the app’s home screen for Tbilisi

Before you enquire

Questions about this project

Yes. Gasvla came to LNOKS with a partly built app. We took over the code and delivered production-ready iOS and Android apps in 3 months.

Gasvla had no design screens when we started. We created the interface as we finished the product, so design did not hold up the launch.

The apps use React Native and Expo with Firebase, Stripe handles payments, and sign-in works with Google and Apple.
