Modere is a global brand specializing in health and wellness products, including beauty, personal care, and household essentials.
When you sell products in a dozen countries, each with its own language, regulations, and promo calendar, your tech stack can quickly become a liability.
Modere’s legacy native app needed fresh builds every time the web team tweaked a banner, price, or payment method, turning a small mobile crew into a full-time fire-fighting squad.
So, with a global re-platform to BigCommerce looming and only four weeks on the clock, the brand made a bold call: scrap the old native code and “wrap” the brand-new site instead.
The result? A fully localised iOS + Android app covering 10 markets and seven languages, launched on schedule – without hiring extra developers, without rebuilding any features, and with seamless user migration from the retired app.
"With only a few weeks’ notice, MobiLoud wrapped our new BigCommerce site into a multilingual iOS & Android app and pushed it live, fixing critical issues in real time and sparing us the pain of native-app upkeep. Fast, responsive, hassle-free."

The Challenge With Launching an App
Modere manufactures and sells skin-care and nutrition products in more than a dozen countries. Each of these countries had their own website, with different languages supported on each.
“There were all of these permutations. You guys came up with a solution in order to accommodate that. And in the end, it worked very well.”
They’d previously had a native app, but maintenance proved unsustainable for their lean development team.
The company was re-platforming to BigCommerce, spreading across all these different global markets, and needed a mobile experience that could launch alongside the new sites without duplicating effort or blowing the budget.
A four-week window meant speed and simplicity trumped all other options.
Why They Chose MobiLoud
With MobiLoud, Modere avoided the mistakes of their previous app. The MobiLoud-powered app would mirror every pixel of their BigCommerce site, so one update served web and app alike.
They had a team there to support their app, allowing their internal team to focus on other areas.
Most importantly, we saw their complex, multi-region web setup and said: “No problem.”
Launch & Results
Part of launching with MobiLoud was sunsetting their old app. This typically comes with a degree of risk. Will there be any disruption to existing app users?
However, user migration went off smoothly. There were no issues, zero complaints from those who were switched over.
“They were so happy to have the new user experience of the Mobiloud wrap of the BigCommerce site. They were happy that the experience was fairly consistent and the adoption worked out well. We were able to discontinue the old app, and there wasn’t any resistance to that.”
Overall, the experience went smoothly, and on schedule. The complexity of their project didn’t prove to be a blocker to getting their new apps live in just a month’s time.
“In a very short amount of time, you got it up, you got it live in the app store. You did exactly what we asked you to do, so that was great.”
The Takeaway
Many brands think launching an app means a huge dev bill, or making sacrifices on features or support.
Not with MobiLoud.
“You guys were very easy to work with and got into the habit of having regular calls and having open lines of communication, where not every vendor might be comfortable being available on WhatsApp and being on a 24/7 type of schedule.”
Even complex projects, like an app for a global brand serving 10 different markets, was doable with no major lift and an affordable cost.
Whether you're a small boutique brand or a worldwide name, MobiLoud is the best way for you to launch an app for maximum ROI.
