Yoox Net-A-Porter upgrades app for luxury customer service

Building on the Group’s continued focus on offering customers an intuitive and personalised experience via mobile, the new app incorporates an in-house developed design system – Hive – to create a highly visual and seamless journey through the app. It will give digital readers access to signature content including travel tips and ‘what to wear’ recommendations from its dedicated style council.

"Our new app is perfect for the Net-A-Porter woman to access the world-class content, unrivalled product curation and exceptional services she wants. The new design is smooth and intuitive, giving our world-leading brands an even more visual platform and elevating our digital content experience to new heights. As a mobile-led business, always seeking to innovate, the technology allows us to be even smarter behind the scenes, meaning we can give everyone a unique Net-A-Porter experience that will be further personalised over time," Alison Loehnis, president – luxury division, Yoox Net-A-Porter Group.

The advancements to the apps are key steps in the re-platforming journey currently underway – a global programme to lay strong technology and logistics foundations for the future and to enable even greater customer experience enhancements. It will see Mr Porter and Net-A-Porter applications migrate onto a new technology platform and elevate its world leading logistics operation.
