THE CHALLENGE
Harrods are an innovative brand and wanted to provide their legions of visitors with a modern guide to the store. They noticed that visitors, armed with a printed store guide and a smart phone, were frequently asking staff for directions.

Bringing all the brand location information inside the app provided the perfect solution. Imano’s challenge was to design an engaging user experience and combine it with an intricate technical resolution.
OUR STRATEGY
Once Imano had the design agreed with Harrods, the accurate listing and location of each brand became the major hurdle. Testing, collecting and improving the results from the iPhone’s GPS functionality provided a starting point, but to deliver consistently reliable results the app had to be trained to dismiss random results by calculating the strongest probability of your current location.
THE RESULT
The app is available in the app store and is soon to be released on Android. It was featured as an app of the week in May 2011.
