Pocket App Shortlisted in the 2024 Digital Impact Awards: A dual recognition for the IRIS app

We are thrilled to announce that Pocket App has been shortlisted for the prestigious Digital Impact Awards! Our innovative work on the IRIS app, developed for Crocus, has been recognised in two highly competitive categories:

  • Best Use of Mobile or Corporate App
  • Best Use of Digital in the Retail Sector

This recognition is a testament to our team’s dedication and expertise in creating impactful digital solutions. Let’s dive into what makes the IRIS app stand out and why it’s making waves in the industry.


Transforming Digital Experiences with Iris

IRIS is a gardening focused community application complete with social media function, extensive plant database with care advice, plant identification tool and editorial content. Powered by Crocus, the UK’s largest gardening website.


Here’s how we achieved this

1. User-Centric Design: We focused on creating an intuitive and visually appealing interface that makes gardening easier for users. The app includes features like personalised plant recommendations, detailed care guides, and a user-friendly search functionality that simplifies the gardening process.

2. Enhanced Customer Engagement: Iris integrates advanced analytics and customer feedback mechanisms to tailor the user experience. By understanding customer preferences and behaviour, the app offers personalised content and recommendations, fostering a deeper connection between Crocus and its customers.

3. Innovative Technology Integration: Utilizing the latest mobile technology, Iris provides a smooth and efficient experience across various devices. The app leverages real-time data and cloud-based services to ensure that users receive up-to-date information and seamless performance.


Acknowledging the Achievement

Being shortlisted in these categories is a significant milestone for Pocket App. It reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of digital innovation and delivering solutions that make a real difference. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Crocus for their partnership and to our dedicated team members who worked tirelessly on this project.


Looking Ahead

As we await the results of the Digital Impact Awards, we remain focused on our mission to create impactful digital experiences. The Iris app has not only enhanced Crocus’s digital presence but also set a new standard for mobile applications in the retail sector. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing our journey of innovation and excellence. The awards will take place at the Hilton Bankside hotel on October 15 where we are hoping to scoop gold in both categories. Fingers crossed!
