Loomora digital product case study

Overview

Loomora is a curated marketplace connecting independent craft makers with design-conscious buyers. Soance partnered with the team to align the product experience, technical delivery, and operational requirements.

The core brief was to deliver a mobile marketplace that made product discovery, maker stories, multi-vendor inventory, and international checkout feel effortless while giving internal teams a system they could confidently operate, measure, and evolve after launch.

Services provided

  • Product strategy and user research
  • Mobile UX and interface design
  • Cross-platform application development
  • API integration, QA, and launch support

Challenges

The project needed to balance a polished customer experience with the less-visible realities of content, operations, permissions, integrations, and long-term maintainability.

  • Maker storefronts and origin stories: The experience needed to support this capability without adding unnecessary complexity for users or operational teams.
  • Multi-currency checkout and localized discovery: The experience needed to support this capability without adding unnecessary complexity for users or operational teams.
  • Vendor inventory and order management: The experience needed to support this capability without adding unnecessary complexity for users or operational teams.

Solution

We designed the experience around short, confidence-building tasks, then built a cross-platform application backed by secure APIs, analytics, and a maintainable design system.

  • Designed and validated maker storefronts and origin stories as part of one coherent, role-aware product journey.
  • Designed and validated multi-currency checkout and localized discovery as part of one coherent, role-aware product journey.
  • Designed and validated vendor inventory and order management as part of one coherent, role-aware product journey.

A shared design system, instrumentation plan, and staged release approach kept the product coherent while allowing the team to learn from real-world usage patterns.

Outcomes

The delivered experience created a stronger foundation for customer value, efficient operations, and continued product growth.

  • A clearer mobile journey with fewer decision points
  • A scalable product foundation for new services and markets
  • More consistent support, analytics, and release operations
