Please register below to download "Walgreens: Putting an API Around Their Stores".
As cellphone camera usage rose over the last few years, Walgreens began to notice a decrease in the number of people who were going to their store photo center to upload and print their images.
To give this business line a boost, Walgreens built on its tradition of technology innovation with the introduction of its first open API, called QuickPrints, which enables users of third-party photo apps to print photos from their mobile devices to any of the more than 8,200 Walgreens locations.
In this case study, you’ll learn how by using Apigee’s industry-leading API business platform, Walgreens was able to:
- Leverage the innovation and speed of the third-party developer community to quickly launch new products
- Create a global platform for partner onboarding and ecosystem development
- Boost Walgreens iPhone app rating from 4.1 to 4.5 stars within three months
- Win “best app” honors from Apple, Forbes, SXSW, and the Webby Awards
