Our Solution
XAM was engaged to create a project blueprint and co-develop the right digital platform with additional features using Xamarin.
The process included on-site consultation, joint on-site development and testing. The solution covered staff orientation and staff training, as well as in-store stock and pricing.
XAM successfully worked with the Kmart team on-site over an 18-month period to implement the new technology and assisted with internal training across all stores to ensure that Kmart employees were familiar with the new technology.
The Outcome
XAM’s design and build of the interface for Kmart resulted in a new application that was familiar and engaging. The Portable Data Terminal built with Xamarin has transformed operational functions, increasing employee and customer satisfaction.
In just 12 months, XAM helped Kmart improve its everyday workflow and increase its operational efficiencies by 200%.
XAM’s efficient, functional and technically excellent digital solution has boosted Kmart’s resilience and trust and enhanced the store’s place as a leader within the competitive Australian retail marketplace.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I founded 60 Seconds, which is developing an app that helps people practice communication skills. The solution uses remote updates to supplement face-to-face interaction.
What challenge were you trying to address with Xam?
Although we had vendors for beta and live versions, we decided to switch to a local firm in Australia. We wanted to interface developers in-person in a collaborative process that incorporated customer feedback.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They built an Android app using Xamarin architecture. Development focused on tri-region capabilities across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific Region. We navigated around Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure the app interacted with the backend server seamlessly. Those are some of the biggest challenges they've addressed.
What is the team composition?
The team included the product manager, chief developer, a backend developer, an app designer.
How did you come to work with Xam?
We searched for vendors and chose Xam because the app already used Xamarin. Their past work and references also impressed us.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $300,000–$500,000 AUD ($230,463–$384,105 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
Work started in September 2014 and is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Deliveries have been functional and reflect customer preferences; they’ve also earned positive feedback. The app’s new functionalities have increased our growth potential.
How did Xam perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re accessible via email and phone. We meet in-person every two weeks.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Xam’s extensive resources have made the engagement convenient and efficient. Their skillset – from customer service to UX – has covered every aspect of the scope. The team is flexible and engaged.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Honestly, I’ve been a demanding customer with high expectations. Their flexible, calm, and sensible disposition makes it easy to partner with them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Development requires painstakingly methodological processes; there are no shortcuts. Xam works through these hurdles and executes them well.
The app’s new functionalities increased opportunities for growth. They’ve leveraged diverse skills to develop the solution in a highly methodological manner. The team has a calm, flexible, and sensible approach to collaboration.
