For Flohkids, we transformed the existing online booking system into a streamlined mobile app - with a short project duration and minimal maintenance effort.

How we brought the digital flea market experience of Flohkids into an app

Parents know the problem: kids grow up fast—and as they do, clothes, toys, and other items they no longer need start piling up. That’s exactly where Flohkids comes in. The company connects parents with high-quality secondhand items for children and offers parents the option to rent shelves to easily resell their children’s belongings.

What previously worked via the website should now also be available on mobile—fast, simple, and always at your fingertips. That’s why Flohkids reached out to devsuit: with the goal of converting the existing online booking system for shelf space into its own mobile app.

The challenge: Making the web booking system available on mobile devices

Flohkids already had a functional online booking system on its website that allowed users to reserve available shelves in their store. Rather than redeveloping this system or making major changes to the backend, the task was to seamlessly integrate the existing web application into a mobile app while ensuring optimal performance.

The goal was to create a genuine app experience—while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.

Our solution: A native app with web integration

The devsuit team developed a streamlined, cross-platform mobile app (iOS & Android) that seamlessly integrates with the existing booking system. In doing so, they placed great emphasis on:

- a native app design,
- intuitive navigation
- and high performance

to provide users with an all-around positive user experience—even though the content technically comes from the web solution.

Why this hybrid app approach?

Instead of a time-consuming new implementation, this approach offers:

Cost efficiency: No need to maintain both the website and the app
Fast implementation: From project kickoff to release in just a few weeks
Reliability: All proven features are retained
App Store presence: Greater visibility through publication in the iOS and Android stores

Result: The flea market experience for your pocket

The new Flohkids app is now available on the App Store and Google Play. It makes reserving a shelf easier than ever—whether you're on the go, in the store, or relaxing on the couch.

Do you want to make your web solution mobile?

Many companies already have functional web applications—but more and more users expect to find a dedicated app in the App Store. The good news is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

With a well-thought-out concept and the right technical implementation, your existing web solution can be converted into a mobile app quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Our approach offers you:

Short concept phase: Together, we analyze how your web application can best be integrated into an app—focused, pragmatic, and without detours.
Fast implementation: Thanks to proven technologies and clear processes, we get your app into the app stores in no time.
Low maintenance costs: Since your existing web logic remains intact, you don’t need to maintain two separate systems—updates to the web application automatically apply to the app as well.

Genuine app presence: Your brand becomes visible in the App Store and even more accessible to your target audience—with push notifications, home screen placement, and a modern user experience.
