Case Study: Shappi transforms international shopping with Appening's mobile app engineering

Shappi scales to 1M+ users with Appening

The customer, Shappi (formerly known as Kargoo), is a logistics mobile app that connects U.S. shoppers with travelers to South America. Their challenge was to build a trusted, cost-effective marketplace for cross-border shopping by transforming unused luggage space into a logistics solution. They partnered with the vendor Appening for UI/UX design and mobile app development to create a modern and secure platform.

Appening implemented a solution for Shappi featuring a modern design, real-time chat, a traveler verification system, and secure Stripe payment integration. The results were significant, including a surge to over 100k active users and the successful closure of a $1.2M funding round. The vendor's work helped Shappi scale to over 1 million users and establish itself as a disruptive player in the industry.
