Introduction
A corporate gifting company wanted to let businesses browse a catalog and send gifts to employees or clients directly from a mobile app, instead of managing gifting through spreadsheets and manual vendor coordination. RethinkingWeb built the platform over a three-month engagement.
The result is an Android app that connects businesses to a vendor catalog with built-in order and redemption tracking.
Problem Statement
Coordinating corporate gifting manually across multiple vendors made it hard to track orders, redemptions, and budgets. The company needed a single app where businesses could browse, order, and track gifts in one place.
Solutions
RethinkingWeb built a native Android app with backend API integration. Key elements included:
Android Gifting App
A native app for businesses to browse and send corporate gifts.
Vendor Catalog Integration
Gift catalogs pulled in and kept in sync via API integration.
Order Management
End-to-end order placement and tracking for bulk gifting.
Redemption Tracking
Recipients redeem gifts with tracked, auditable status.
Backend API Layer
Custom APIs connecting the app to vendor and order systems.
Implementation
The engagement covered native Android app development, integration with vendor gift catalogs via API, and the order and redemption tracking system, delivered over three months.
Results & Achievements
The company came away with a streamlined gifting platform:
Simplified Gifting
Businesses order and send gifts from a single app instead of juggling vendors.
Better Order Visibility
Orders and redemptions are tracked end-to-end.
Connected Vendor Catalog
Gift options stay current through automatic vendor sync.
On-Time Delivery
The platform was delivered within the three-month timeline.
Conclusion
By building a connected Android app with vendor integration, RethinkingWeb gave the company a single, trackable way to manage corporate gifting at scale.
