  • A specific target: Once the idea has been validated and if you think it is viable, it is time to focus on who the App is aimed at, whether it is the end customer or if it is for suppliers or other companies.  

Having this information will be a great indicator to develop the final product (App) to meet those needs. 

  • Offer an experience: Explore and discover all the options that exist in the market, it is not about imitating or copying what is already in the market but this exercise serves to understand the operation that you would like to have in the application, and once you have these ideas and concepts clear it will be easier to determine the operation and so you can offer a great user experience (UX).
