The Challenge
La Boutique was founded with the mission to make shopping at local stores easier for consumers and to help retail businesses thrive in an online-offline world. The challenge was to create a platform that could seamlessly integrate the convenience of online shopping with the unique offerings of local stores. The founder, Stephane Kattie, had experience using no-code tools like Google Sheets and Airtable to build products, but needed a more versatile tool to bring her vision to life. The goal was to create a marketplace where consumers could shop online at local stores in their city, supporting small businesses within and outside of their community.
About The Customer
La Boutique's customers are twofold: consumers looking for a convenient way to shop at local stores, and retail businesses seeking to thrive in an online-offline world. The consumers are individuals who prioritize supporting small businesses within and outside of their community. They are likely residents of Amsterdam, with plans to expand to Brooklyn. The retail businesses are local stores in these cities that want to reach a wider audience and increase their sales by joining the online marketplace. These businesses can benefit from the app's features that allow them to easily manage products, orders, customers, and deliveries.
The Solution
La Boutique was built using Bubble, a versatile no-code tool that allowed the creation of a fully customizable web application. The app allows users to discover local stores in Amsterdam, with plans to expand to Brooklyn. Users can search and filter stores based on their location or interests, view store information and opening hours, and see the stores on a map. By creating an account, users can save stores in collections for later viewing. The app also allows retailers to easily manage products, orders, customers, and deliveries. They can create a store, add products, and start selling on the marketplace. Retailers also have access to a dashboard where they can view reports and customer insights.
Operational Impact
  • The operational results of La Boutique have been promising. The app has successfully created a platform where consumers can discover local stores in Amsterdam, with plans to expand to Brooklyn. It has provided a solution for consumers who want to support local businesses but also enjoy the convenience of online shopping. For retailers, the app has provided a platform to reach a wider audience and increase their sales. It has equipped them with tools to easily manage products, orders, customers, and deliveries. The app is still in its early stages, with plans to open a marketplace where users can shop for products from multiple retailers. The team is working hard to expand the marketplace to more cities.
