Features we build
Retail app features Wve Labs ships
Each feature is built around a moment where retailers lose money today — and tuned to your store operations, not a template.
Real-time inventory check
Shoppers see live stock at the exact store they're standing in — no guessing, no walkouts.
Save-for-later wishlist
Out of stock today? Customers save the item and get pinged the moment it lands.
Loyalty points at checkout
Points earn and redeem inline at payment, lifting repeat visits and basket size.
In-app barcode scan
Scan a shelf tag for price, reviews, sizes and stock in neighbouring stores.
Curbside pickup scheduling
Reserve a slot, park, and we tell staff you've arrived. Fulfilment without friction.
Personalized deal notifications
Behaviour-driven offers that reach the right shopper at the right hour.
Working prototype
Don't take our word for it — tap it. This prototype actually works.
This is a live, clickable slice of a retail app we build — the same flows your customers would use on their phones. Try all four tabs.
Check every store
Tap a product in the Stock tab to see live units per location.
Simulate a shelf scan
The Scan tab runs a real scanline sweep and returns price, rating and stock.
Redeem real points
The Points tab keeps a live balance — redeem a reward and watch it drop.
Book curbside
Reserve a slot in Pickup, then tap “I'm here” to notify staff.

Not sure how to describe it?
What retailers usually ask us for
Real examples of how clients open the conversation. Borrow whichever is closest to your situation, paste it into the quote form, and change the details.
Multi-store retailer
Real-time stock across every location
"We have 14 stores and no shared view of inventory. Customers call to ask if something's in stock and we guess. We want an app that shows live stock per store, reserves an item for 24 hours, and tells staff when to restock."
Consumer brand
A branded shopping app with loyalty
"Our web store converts fine but repeat purchase is flat. We want an iOS and Android app with saved payment, a wishlist, points at checkout, and push notifications for personal offers — matching our brand exactly."
Grocery / convenience
Curbside and in-store pickup
"Shoppers order ahead and we handle it on paper. We want scheduled pickup windows, a picker app for staff, substitutions the customer approves, and an arrival notification."
Franchise operator
Staff tools on tablets
"Every franchise runs differently. We want one tablet app for receiving, counts, price checks and shift notes, with a head-office dashboard on the web."
Specialty retail
Barcode scan and product lookup
"Our catalogue is 40,000 SKUs. We want in-store scanning that pulls up specs, fit, alternatives and stock, so associates stop walking to a back-room terminal."
Retailer with legacy software
Modernization, not a rebuild from zero
"Our POS and ERP work but the front end is a decade old. We want a modern app layer on top of what we already own, integrated, without a risky big-bang migration."
Helpful things to include
- • What you sell and how many locations
- • The moment that costs you sales today
- • iPhone, Android, tablet, web — or not sure yet
- • Systems it must talk to (POS, ERP, inventory)
- • Any date you're working toward
- • A rough budget range, even a wide one
None of it is required. One sentence is enough to start — send it here or call (833) 673-0777.

Illustrative client examples — placeholder quotes to be replaced with real testimonials
“Wve Labs took our 34-store inventory mess and shipped an app our customers trust. Stock questions used to walk out the door; now they end in a checkout or a pickup slot.”
Maria Torres
COO · 34-store apparel chain
“Curbside went from phone-tag chaos to a two-tap flow. The team wired our POS in weeks, not months — and pickup orders doubled in the first quarter.”
David Okafor
Founder · Regional grocery co-op
“The scan-to-check feature alone paid for the build. Shoppers help themselves in the aisle, and our associates finally sell instead of searching the stockroom.”
Lena Chen
