Cooperation overview

Background

Ten years ago, Żabka wasn’t even considering having a significant online presence. Now, it is one of Europe’s most innovative and fastest growing convenience store chains as well as an undisputed industry leader in the CEE region.

At a dynamic and ambitious company like Żabka, strategy has to be continuously revised to reflect customers’ changing needs and preferences. Its first major digital transformation challenge was to implement a mobile app with a loyalty program and hyperpersonalized offers.

That was when Future Mind entered the picture – and Żabka has since redefined the meaning of convenience. The company is now well underway executing a remarkable vision of a tech-enabled business that takes full advantage of The Digital.
