Lebrun’s Mobile App Launch: From Concept to Reality in Weeks

Lebrun, a leading French supplier of high-quality kitchenware, drinkware, tableware, and professional equipment, has been a trusted partner for restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses across France. With a wide range of products from elegant glassware and cutlery to cooking necessities and essentials, Lebrun prides itself on providing durable, reliable, and professional-grade solutions tailored to the needs of the industry.

To meet the growing demand for easy accessibility and streamline the purchasing process for its clients, Lebrun partnered with Knowband to develop a mobile app using Prestashop Mobile App Builder. The mobile app makes it easy for customers to browse products, place orders, and manage inventory, with quick access to the catalogue, real-time stock updates, and a smooth ordering experience for customers.

Initial Challenges that Lebrun Faced

Over time, Lebrun noticed a decline in customer interaction on its online store.

More users were accessing the website through smartphones and tablets. While the website was functional, it did not fully meet the expectations of professional users who required speed, simplicity, easy accessibility, and efficiency.

Key challenges:

• A growing volume of mobile users with lower conversion rates compared to desktop users
• The need for a faster and more intuitive purchasing experience for repeat orders 
• Limited ability to engage customers directly through mobile-first communication channels
• Difficulty encouraging frequent reorders from professional clients
• The wish to strengthen their brand presence and loyalty among existing customers
• Most customers nowadays prefer to use a mobile app instead of a website.

Partnership with Knowband

To address these challenges, Lebrun partnered with Knowband to accelerate the launch of their mobile app. As a result, we offered the Prestashop Mobile App Builder, a solution designed to make m-commerce simple and efficient for Prestashop store owners.

The primary objective was to transform the existing Lebrun store into a fully functional, high-performance mobile application while, at the same time, maintaining seamless integration with the store.

To achieve this, the Prestashop Mobile App Builder Addon enabled Lebrun to launch a native mobile app by directly synchronising with their Prestashop backend. Consequently, this ensured real-time updates for products, pricing, stock availability, and customer accounts, seamlessly syncing data from the website to the mobile app.

In addition, the overall process of creating and launching the mobile app was extremely straightforward. First, Lebrun installed the Mobile App Creator module from the Prestashop backend. Immediately after installation, demo apps were available for testing purposes.

With the help of Knowband’s Mobile App Creator, the mobile app’s performance-focused design significantly reduced loading times compared to the mobile web experience.

ush notifications were introduced as a new communication channel, enabling Lebrun to inform customers about order confirmations, delivery updates, special offers, and newly available products.
