Customer engagement
With our App Maker, we support small and medium-sized enterprises, associations and the public sector in cost-effective digitalization and mobilization.
Our special focus, however, is in the area of customer engagement: we help our customers to increase the bond with their customers, to activate and reactivate their customers.
In this way, we increase store traffic at the point of sale and complement the respective business model with an additional mobile channel.
With an app from AppYourself, our customers are permanently present on their smartphone and remain in their memory. Push messages (re)activate our customers’ customers at the right moment – even fully automated via marketing automation.
Highlights from 12 years of AppYourself
Customer engagement platform
Started as an App Maker for medium-sized businesses, we have developed our software over time into a mobile customer engagement platform.
This means that our customers can not only create apps without programming, but also get a complete “engagement toolkit” with various marketing and campaign tools and their own user CRM (LightCRM).
Custom app development
When the standardized App Builder reaches its limits, we can implement more extensive requirements of our customers via individual app customizing on our platform.
For example, the Hugendubel app was developed in cooperation with the nationwide bookstore chain Hugendubel.
Digitization of German job centres
As a German technology provider, we take the topic of data protection very seriously! This brought us to the attention of the Jobcenter Berlin-Mitte in 2020.
In the joint project cooperation and after further sharpening our data protection measures, we were now also able to ensure the secure processing of social data that required special protection.
And so, after just a few months of joint work, we were able to launch the Jobcenter Berlin-Mitte app. Under the motto: “Put your job centre in your pocket”, the job centre app is now a signpost, information and communication channel for the customers of the job centres – and not only in Berlin!
