May 17 2018 - 12:45PM
Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) was named the winner of the
2018 Appy Award for best retail mobile app at a ceremony held on
May 15 in New York City. The online home goods leader beat out
several top retail-focused apps in a multi-stage competition, which
included a final judging round featuring a panel of industry
experts who review the briefs and actual apps of all the finalists
before naming the winners.
“Our mobile app is a great example of how Overstock continues to
provide our customers with the best possible shopping experience
based on user-friendly cutting-edge technology,” said Amit Goyal,
SVP of Engineering and Product for Overstock.com. “I couldn’t be
prouder of the recognition that our mobile apps team has earned for
their hard work in producing the best shopping app on the market
today.”
Key features of Overstock’s winning app include its top-of-class
augmented reality experience featuring only the highest quality
digital 3-D models, personalized product recommendations, and
unique search functions. Together, these attributes and more allow
Overstock’s customers to use today’s leading technology to find the
products that match their own unique style, or to design an entire
room from scratch, all within a single app environment.
The Appy, which is presented by MediaPost Communications, is the
second major app-based award Overstock has won recently, following
the home furnishing company’s sixth-consecutive Mobile Web Award
win in late 2017, also for the Best Retail Mobile Application.
Members of the team behind Overstock’s award-winning app include
Landon Ainge, Senior Product Manager of Mobile Apps; Jignesh Sheth,
Senior Manager of App Development; Scott Olcot, Android Development
Lead; Artem Fedorychak, Senior Software Engineer; Ke Luo, IOS
