About The Client
The client is a Canadian food distributor supplying high-quality frozen meat and seafood to restaurants, grocery stores, and food service businesses from a state-of-the-art Toronto facility, offering around 700 products. Their existing Shopify website worked, but they wanted native iOS and Android apps on top of it, while keeping Shopify as the backend, as part of a broader push to turn in-store shoppers into repeat online customers. BigOhTech built the native apps, the middleware connecting them to Shopify, and the offline-to-online mechanics (QR codes, deep links) that made the omnichannel strategy work end to end.Business Challenges

Our Approach
2x increase in storefront sales directly attributable to the offline-to-online transition — the QR-to-promotion flow converting in-store visits into app engagement and purchases.
Apps live on both stores within 2 months of kickoff, out of a 3-month total project — a fast timeline for two native platforms plus a custom middleware layer.
Meaningful performance improvement from Redis caching and GraphQL, removing the freezing/throttling issues that were the original technical blocker.
Marketing campaigns became directly measurable and targeted, since deep links now route traffic to specific products rather than a generic homepage.
CASE STUDY - Restaurant & Food
Custom Shopify Development for Both App and Web
The client is a leading meat provider in the Mexican region. Operating as a large processing facility, they receive raw meat from suppliers and process it into finished products, including ground beef, steaks, pork chops, and chicken breasts. Their motto is to cater to the needs of meat lovers. Originally selling their products primarily through offline stores, they decided to expand their business presence by adopting an online model, now catering to more than 10 million customers through various online platforms.
