The HORNBACH store app makes purchases, home delivery services and DIY home improvement projects more seamless. The home improvement brand is best known for its vast product range of over 200,000 items that meet every DIY project need. In addition to its vast product range and convenient delivery service, the retailer is also home to trailer and van rentals.
Designed for consumers "at home, on the construction site or in the HORNBACH store," this mobile app was recently updated to make one's shopping experience even more streamlined. The app is available for both iOS and Anroid devices and features self scanning technology -- requiring users to scan a product in store to access a QR code for contactless payment. It also boasts a virtual advisor feature and a library of instructions and advice for any home improvement project consumers are embarking on.
