Partner, not vendor
You're not hiring hands. You're gaining a product team.
Wve is best suited for organizations looking for a long-term product partner, not simply development capacity. We take responsibility across strategy, design, and engineering — from early strategy and product definition through design, engineering, launch, modernization, and continued development.
A decade of designing, engineering, launching, and scaling digital products, for startups, growth companies, and established organizations. Mobile has been at the heart of Wve for more than a decade and remains one of our deepest areas of expertise — and it sits alongside web platforms, custom software, and Applied AI.

We build this for you
You don't buy the app on this page — we build yours.
Every screen here was designed and shipped by the Wve Labs product team. We take your stores, your catalogue and your POS, and turn them into a retail app your customers actually keep on their home screen.
- Discovery and feature mapping with your ops and store teams
- Design, build and QA across iOS, Android and web
- POS, ERP and payments integrations wired to your real inventory
- Launch, App Store submission and ongoing feature releases
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.

The app in use, end to end
From the push that brings a shopper back to the dashboard your store managers run the day on — we design the whole journey.
Every screen your store runs on
iPhone, iPad and the back-office web app — one product, three devices
Shoppers get the phone app. Floor staff get an iPad for stock lookups and clienteling. Managers get a browser dashboard. Same design system, same data, built by one team.

Everything Wve Labs builds
One team for the app, the AI behind it, and everything around it
Retail apps are our focus — and they're backed by full AI, engineering and design practices, so nothing on your roadmap needs a second vendor.

We offer
Strategy · Design · Engineering — the five ways we build with you
Mobile apps, web platforms, custom software and AI-enabled products, delivered by one product team for startups, growth companies, and established organizations.
1 · Mobile App Development
Mobile has been at the heart of Wve for more than a decade and remains one of our deepest areas of expertise — iPhone, Android and cross-platform products built to perform in the aisle.
Book a Call2 · Custom Software Development
Platforms, portals and internal systems shaped around how your stores actually operate — including modernizing software you already run.
Book a Call3 · UX/UI Design
Product definition, interaction design and design systems: thoughtfully conceived, beautifully designed, and engineered to perform.
Book a Call4 · Web Development
Web platforms, PWAs and commerce storefronts sharing one design system with your app, so every touchpoint feels like a single product.
Book a Call5 · Applied AI
AI-enabled product features — forecasting, assistants, personalization — applied where they earn their keep, not bolted on as a headline.
Book a CallWhat we take on
The work we're built for — and the work we're not
We're a fit for
- New digital product development
- Mobile and web applications
- Custom software
- Modernizing an existing product
- AI product development
- UX/UI redesign
Have an app already?
Already have an app that isn't performing? We modernize, redesign, and re-engineer existing products too.
We're probably not the fit for
- Logo-only branding work
- Basic brochure websites
- SEO or social media campaigns
Great work, just not ours — and we'd rather say so early than take a project we can't do beautifully. If the product itself is the problem, that's our lane.

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
E-commerce Lead · Fashion retail brand
