Our task was to create a sales-ready webshop for device orders in EU and US markets, and a mobile app that not only works smoothly but delivers a complete, modern user experience.
While the platform had strong core technology (AI for prey recognition), it needed enhancements in mobile app to maximize performance, usability, and overall customer experience.
As a result, ZeroMOUSE™ is now available for purchase across most European countries and USA, and the app is fully developed for smooth, error-free performance with no delays.
Founders vision
“Our vision is a world where cat owners enjoy the companionship of their pets without ever facing the mess or stress of unwanted prey.”
Understanding barriers to market expansion
ZeroMOUSE™, a Kickstarter-backed product, needed a sales platform for the EU and US with reliable payment system, easy management, and accurate order tracking.
The mobile app was in alpha version and suffered major performance issues: messages took over 20 seconds to load, device removals exceeded 10 seconds, and inefficient queries without pagination overloaded the system. Notifications were unreliable due to Firebase instead of AWS.
The app also faced Android compatibility issues and lacked essential UI elements like loaders, smooth screen flows, and consistent navigation resulting in a frustrating user experience.
Global sales made easy
We started by building a custom Shopify webshop for ZeroMOUSE™, making sales and payments easy for EU and US markets.
Making the app fast
At the same time we improved app functionalities to be ready for market launch.
We implemented infinite scroll and a built-in Right/Wrong feedback system to make the prey recognition AI more accurate.

Value & impact delivered
The app and webshop we developed enabled ZeroMOUSE™ to scale rapidly, now serving over 10.000 customers across Europe and the US.
By delivering a smooth and reliable experience, support needs dropped while user satisfaction and retention increased.
The new features also unlocked stronger engagement, driving more frequent app usage and positive reviews in the stores.
Most importantly, these changes transformed ZeroMOUSE™ from a Kickstarter prototype into a scalable product with a proven sales model, fueling international expansion and long-term growth.
