The case for a shopping app in Kansas City, Kansas
Kansas City, Kansas is a commercial centre in Kansas, United States where around 157,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build mobile commerce apps for local businesses.
Logistics and manufacturing city — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Across Kansas, the economy is shaped by aviation manufacturing in Wichita, agriculture, meat processing and logistics, with Topeka as the state capital.
The United States has more than 33 million small businesses, which make up 99.9% of all US firms (US SBA Office of Advocacy). The United States is the world's most valuable e-commerce market outside China, and shoppers expect fast, free shipping, easy returns and wallet checkout. Direct-to-consumer brands that own their store and data, rather than relying only on marketplaces, keep more margin and customer loyalty.
That is why more companies in Kansas City, Kansas are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper shopping app — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
