Leading financial institution creates unique multi-channel customer
experience to drive competitive differentiation
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 6, 2018--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS), the leading provider of application development and
deployment technologies, today announced that Triodos
Bank, one of the world’s leading sustainable banks, rebuilt its
mobile presence and expanded its multi-channel customer experience with
NativeScript®, the open-source framework for building truly native
cross-platform applications. With the framework, Triodos also improved
the efficiency of its development efforts.
In the financial industry, offering a seamless user experience across
multiple channels has become a necessity for staying competitive and
attracting and retaining customers. Triodos Bank’s existing mobile
application was outdated and in an effort to improve customer
engagement, reinforce its brand messaging and differentiate itself from
competitors, it decided to revamp its digital experience with the
NativeScript framework.
With the NativeScript framework using Angular, the developers on the
Triodos team could fully reuse their web skills and share code to build
high-performance, cross-platform applications. Having a single codebase
for the different applications enabled them to spend more time
developing unique and innovative features instead of rebuilding the apps
for each platform. Capabilities including native API access and backend
REST APIs ensured easy integration and high scalability.
“We have a small team of developers. To create a comprehensive
multi-channel digital ecosystem that delivers a rich customer experience
for both Android and iOS, we needed a powerful tool to speed and
simplify the development process,” explained Winfred Van Egteren,
Component Architect, Triodos Bank. “With the NativeScript framework, we
leveraged our existing web skills to build native apps without the heavy
time and technology investment necessary for traditional iOS/Android
native development.”
Triodos Bank’s mobile applications provide customers with typical
digital banking capabilities (such as account balances and money
transfer options) along with unique content and features. Since the goal
of Triodos Bank is making its money work for positive social,
environmental and cultural change, customers can track which
organizations the financial institution is lending to and where their
money is being used to create a positive impact. In addition, the
application has a gift address book feature that enables customers to
easily make donations to charities and nonprofit organizations.
“With more than one million downloads, the NativeScript framework is
quickly becoming the preferred mobile application development framework
of developers around the world. It enables them to build beautiful and
high-quality apps, exceeding customers’ expectations, while making their
developers far more productive,” said Dmitri Tcherevik, CTO, Progress.
“Triodos Bank is a great example of how a big organization with a
complex environment can leverage the framework to quickly deliver on a
project of great importance for the business.”
Developed and supported by Progress, NativeScript is a powerful and
agile open-source framework for creating truly native cross-platform
apps with Angular, TypeScript or JavaScript. Designed to provide
significant code reuse, it dramatically reduces development efforts by
enabling developers to leverage their existing skills. With its adoption
growing rapidly, the NativeScript framework has empowered organizations
across different industries and individual developers to build
beautiful, accessible, platform-native user interfaces.
