ShopSM is the online shopping platform of The SM Store, the largest department store chain in the Philippines. It carries a variety of items for every department and brands that can be seen at its stores.
We created a new website and mobile app that integrated the retail and grocery aspect of ShopSM. Our work includes research to discover fresh consumer insights to create new and unique features, audit, and experience validation. This way, we personalized the user’s ShopSM experience at any moment—whether in-store or online, in Supermarket or Department Store, for themselves or for their family.
Our strategy was to make the ease of use the top priority. We combined the Supermarket and Department Store experience on the website and app, and identified opportunities to make ShopSM unique from the other local brands.
