Typical approach

Atomic Robot begins with discovery to understand the client's challenges, constraints, and customers. The work then moves through strategy, design, development, and testing using agile methodologies. Collaborative working sessions are used for strategic problem-solving, not just status updates.

The team establishes success metrics, transparent communication channels, and regular checkpoints. Atomic Robot also transfers knowledge and helps strengthen clients' internal capabilities so solutions can be maintained and evolved.

Project timing and investment vary according to the engagement's goals, challenges, and desired impact. Strategic consulting may deliver value within weeks, while long-term development partnerships can continue for years. Atomic Robot recommends starting with a consultation to identify the appropriate approach.

Ruler Foods app

Atomic Robot created a mobile shopping app for Ruler Foods during a complete rebrand. The iOS and Android app provided:

• Store locations, hours, and contact information
• Weekly advertisements and deals
• Shopping lists that customers could check off while shopping
• A modern design aligned with the rebrand

OptUp

Atomic Robot developed OptUp to provide personalized nutrition insights. The app analyzes food labels and ingredients to calculate nutrition ratings and uses purchase history to generate recommendations without requiring tedious food logging. Kroger later integrated OptUp into its main grocery app, making personalized health insights available to millions of users.

Partnership timeline

• 2010: Kroger mobile app launch
• 2017: Ruler Foods savings app
• 2018: OptUp personalized health innovation
• Present: Ongoing partnership and innovation

Tom Ringenbach, General Manager—Digital at Kroger, said: "Atomic Robot has some of the best talent in the area, and their code is consistently high quality."
