The SaaS Platform That Created Over 100 Apps and Growing
Dr. Schreder saw a need for a click-and-collect app for butcher shops. Dotsquares built a SaaS app using SOA, Kotlin for Android, and Swift for iOS, plus a PHP/Laravel website to promote its features, boosting accessibility and revenue for shops.
The Client
Dr. Max Schreder, owner of SCHREDER Consulting, holds a doctorate in Business Administration. Growing up in a family with a traditional butcher shop gave him deep insight into the meat industry.
Since 2018, he’s advised a Bavarian craft business on corporate management. In 2019, he approached Dotsquares with a digital idea to modernize butcher shops, aiming to create a scalable platform to boost customer convenience and shop efficiency.
The Challenge
Dr. Schreder saw a gap in the meat market: local butcher shops lacked modern tools for customer orders. His vision was a click-and-collect app that customers could use to order easily, with a subscription model for shops to adopt it.
The challenge was building a user-friendly, scalable app for Android and iOS, plus a website to attract other shop owners. It needed to work offline, stay affordable, and handle complex order processing within a tight budget and timeline.
The Solution
Dotsquares built a click-and-collect app for SCHREDER Consulting using a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for flexibility. We used Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS, delivering it as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform so shops could subscribe affordably. The app lets customers browse products and schedule pickups, with a dashboard for shop owners to manage orders.
We also created a PHP and Laravel-based website to market the app to butcher shops. It’s SEO-optimized, responsive, and includes a sign-up portal. Secure payment gateways and analytics were added, with white-labeling for scalability. A project manager ensured smooth coordination, using agile methods to align with Dr. Schreder’s vision.
The Results
Since 2019, we’ve launched over 100 white-labeled apps for SCHREDER Consulting, available on the App Store and Google Play. Over 25,000 customers have registered, regularly using the apps to order from local butcher shops, boosting repeat business.
The SaaS model keeps costs low for shops, and white-labeling allows customisation across markets. The SEO-optimised website draws in shop owners with high engagement, low bounce rates and long session times.
The app’s offline mode helps rural shops with poor internet compete with bigger retailers, increasing their revenue and loyalty. Our ongoing partnership with Dr. Schreder explores new features like loyalty programs, cementing SCHREDER Consulting’s leadership in digital meat industry solutions.
