Case Study: Empower Retirement Achieves a Market-Leading Mobile Experience with Cantina

Empower Retirement launches Android app 6 months early with Cantina

Empower Retirement, the second-largest 401K provider in the U.S., needed to build an Android version of its mobile app to address customer demand and reach a wider market. They partnered with their long-trusted vendor, Cantina, to develop this new application using the React Native framework.

Cantina implemented the Android app using React Native, which allowed for efficient development and the introduction of new native mobile features. The embedded team from Cantina delivered the project approximately six months ahead of schedule. The solution resulted in a dramatically improved app rating on the Google Play Store, which tripled to over 4.0, and the number of active users quadrupled to 80,000. Cantina also provided extensive knowledge transfer, improving Empower's internal mobile development capabilities.
