Carlsberg
Turning complex distribution processes into one rewarding mobile experience
Less admin, more action.
Carlsberg Poland is one of the country’s leading brewers, with a portfolio of well-known brands distributed across retail and hospitality.
Behind the scenes, managing field operations had become increasingly complex. Hundreds of emails, multiple spreadsheets and manual billing processes were slowing down distributors and managers, creating unnecessary administration and leaving room for errors.
An earlier attempt to introduce a mobile app hadn’t met expectations, making it even more important to get the next experience right.
Carlsberg Poland partnered with Apadmi’s team in Poland, formerly Droids On Roids, to develop Hoppy: a rewards-driven mobile platform designed to simplify field operations, improve product visibility and give distributors a more engaging way to work.
Rebuilding the experience around users
Rather than starting with technology, we started with the people using it. Feedback from the previous app helped identify what wasn’t working and where a better mobile experience could make the biggest difference. Collaborative workshops then shaped the product roadmap, prioritising functionality around user needs and business value.
The result was Hoppy, bringing task management, rewards, training, communication and billing together in one connected experience.
Making every task count
Hoppy gives distributors a clear view of available tasks, including location-based activities displayed on an interactive map.Users can select individual or group tasks, complete them in the field and submit evidence directly through the app using surveys, photographs and QR codes.
Each completed activity earns points that can be converted into money through an integration with Igoria Trade, creating a direct incentive for participation. By connecting everyday tasks with tangible rewards, Carlsberg Poland introduced a more engaging approach to managing field activity while reducing the manual processes previously required.
Giving managers greater visibility and control
Hoppy isn’t just for distributors. A dedicated web-based admin panel gives Carlsberg Poland’s managers the tools to coordinate activity across their teams. Managers can create and assign tasks, monitor progress, manage users and allocate bonus points, all from one place. Reporting provides visibility into completed activities, while in-app news and notifications help keep teams informed.
The platform also supports e-learning, allowing distributors to develop their knowledge and earn additional rewards for completing courses.
Together, these features create a more connected way of working, giving managers greater oversight while making everyday activities easier for distributors.
Engineered for performance and scale
Hoppy brings multiple operational processes together through a connected mobile and web platform.
It has delivered measurable improvements to Carlsberg Poland’s distribution operations, replacing fragmented processes with a single mobile platform.
Built using Flutter
The app runs on iOS and Android from a single codebase, supporting consistent functionality across both platforms. A React-based web admin panel gives managers control over users, tasks, content and reporting, while a Node.js backend handles the underlying business logic and integrations. The platform connects with Igoria Trade to support the conversion of earned points into cash, linking field activity directly to the rewards system.
Location-based task management
Location-based task management uses interactive maps, while photo uploads, QR code scanning and in-app surveys allow distributors to validate completed activities directly from their phones.
Replacing disconnected tools
Combined with push notifications, e-learning and activity tracking, the architecture replaces disconnected tools and manual processes with one integrated system, built to support Carlsberg Poland’s distribution operations.

“Hoppy is a solid application, technically and business-wise there is nothing to complain about. For the record, you can now remember with a slight smile all the security tests we went through, I’ve never seen such a thoroughly tested application at Carlsberg (and I’ve seen a lot).”
