Client Background

A dynamic e-commerce startup revolutionizing men’s fashion in urban centers, specializing in curated shoes and bags. Arender bridges digital convenience with tactile satisfaction, offering same-day delivery or in-store pickup within 2 hours.

The Challenge

42% of male shoppers abandoned carts due to sizing uncertainties in footwear. Physical stores saw declining foot traffic, while pure online players faced 30% return rates from “not as imagined” purchases. Inventory sync between warehouses and 12 brick-and-mortar locations caused 19% order cancellations.

Our Approach

We engineered a hybrid shopping experience blending AI-driven fit prediction with hyperlocal logistics, creating a unified platform for modern male shoppers who value speed and precision.

Key Features

• TurboPickup: Real-time inventory API shows exact shelf locations for in-store collections, with QR code locker access.
• Groom Mode: Schedule deliveries around work hours – suits, shoes arrive pressed and boxed by 8 AM meetings.

Technical Breakthroughs

• SoleAI: algorithm predicting shoe comfort scores based on gait analysis from 5-second video clips.
• Geo-Distribution: Reduced delivery costs 37% using motorcycle courier routing optimized via Lagos traffic patterns.
• LeatherDNA: Computer vision tool authenticates premium materials, blocking 670+ counterfeit listings pre-launch.

Impact

• 22% of delivery orders converted to upsold in-store purchases.
