Overview
Pocket Prints is a Melbourne photo-printing retailer whose customers order physical prints straight from the camera roll. The product lives or dies on one flow: pick photos on your phone, get real prints delivered.
SynchSoft owns the mobile side of that business — native iOS and Android apps connected to Shopify for commerce and to the retailer's physical print fulfillment pipeline.
Outcome: Live apps in the Australian market that a small business depends on daily, backed by a rebuilt iOS architecture.
The Problem
Photo-print e-commerce is deceptively hard on mobile:
- Customers select dozens of photos at once — the app must handle large media batches without slowdowns or failed uploads
- Print products have physical constraints (sizes, formats, quality thresholds) the app must enforce before checkout
- Orders must flow reliably from the phone through Shopify into a real-world print-and-ship pipeline
- The original iOS app's architecture had become a bottleneck for adding features
The Solution
A rebuilt iOS foundation
SynchSoft rebuilt the iOS app's architecture to improve functionality and unlock custom features — turning the app from a constraint into the platform the business builds on.
Commerce that ends on paper
Shopify handles catalog, cart, and payment, while the order pipeline hands off cleanly to physical print fulfillment — a digital storefront with a physical product at the end.
An ongoing partnership
This is not a ship-and-leave engagement: as a small business, Pocket Prints leans on SynchSoft almost every day for the apps at the core of its revenue.
