Pacefinder
A social running-club app for a US running-shoe retailer building a loyalty community beyond one-off purchases.
Mobile App Development →The challenge
Pacefinder's retail customers bought shoes once and rarely returned, and the brand wanted a way to build an ongoing relationship without becoming a full fitness-tracking competitor to established running apps.
Our approach
- 01
Built a React Native app focused narrowly on local run-club event discovery and RSVPs, not general fitness tracking
- 02
Integrated Apple Health and Google Fit for basic run data rather than building custom GPS tracking from scratch
- 03
Tied in-app achievements to real in-store rewards, redeemable at checkout via a generated code
