Albert Heijn

Tap2Go

SPECTR leads the collaboration with Albert Heijn to develop a new application.

SPECTR designed and built the TapToGo application based on a microservices architecture and a modern, API-driven integration platform. This enabled the integration of a wide range of business objects and allowed the application to scale indefinitely. Naturally, the application fully complies with current privacy standards and regulations.

Beyond the app development, new business and external data integrations have enabled innovative personalized marketing. By combining train schedules, weather data, shopping history, geofencing, pricing, and timing, Albert Heijn can now deliver targeted ads tailored to specific customer needs.
