So why not use an app for communities to give members added value and help them grow together? The Carinthian Economic Association (Wirtschaftsbund Kärnten, a group within the Chamber of Commerce) thought that in times of a pandemic this would be more important than ever. Initially, they only wanted to offer members exclusive vouchers – and not on paper, but digitally and with good usability.
This request came to us at the end of October 2020 and we replied: “Hey, you can do a lot, much more with our platform to offer member benefits and more.” Work started at the beginning of November.
