Digital Awesome announces a strategic partnership with Alpine IQ (AIQ), making its customizable cannabis mobile app solution the fourth official mobile app path for Alpine IQ customers. This collaboration gives retailers a new way to build branded mobile apps with greater creative and strategic control, while maintaining the trusted enterprise backbone provided by Alpine IQ.
Alpine IQ customers will continue to benefit from the platform’s enterprise-grade infrastructure. Including loyalty programs, audience segmentation, and campaign management tools and reports. These core services remain unchanged, ensuring stability and compliance across all mobile app paths.
New Opportunities with Digital Awesome
The new “Awesome” Mobile App Build option offers cannabis retailers a highly customizable app experience, with capabilities that include:
- Full visual app design – an upgrade from standard branded themes
- A new menu experience – high-converting native UX
- More gamified loyalty tools – loyalty punch cards, check-ins, dynamic promo banners & leaderboards, interactive challenges, and branded in-app games for events and holidays
- Advanced push notification personalization
- Full app behavior insights & advanced shopping analytics
- Access to advanced plug-and-play enhancements
- Ongoing opportunities for deeper integration
“This partnership is a game changer for us,” says Mark Nelson, President of Digital Awesome. “Our mission has always been to build high-performing apps that customers love and that deliver measurable ROI for dispensaries. Partnering with Alpine IQ is like adding jet fuel to that mission.”
“Together, we’re delivering shopping, rewards, and engagement experiences that rival the very best apps on the App Store,” he adds. “Unlike all-in-one, closed platforms that force dispensaries into one-size-fits-all solutions, we give our customers the freedom to combine best-in-class tools. That competitive edge is what will define the future leaders in cannabis retail.”
The excitement is shared by Alpine IQ, which views the partnership as not only a boost for its customers, but also an important signal for the cannabis tech industry at large.
“At Alpine IQ, we’ve always believed the cannabis industry deserves enterprise-grade technology solutions built with care and expertise,” says Brian Geddes, Executive Vice President of Sales at Alpine IQ. “While we continue to offer our own suite of mobile apps, partnering with Digital Awesome allows us to elevate the experience for our customers even further.”
He continues, “Their team’s deep knowledge, technical excellence, and dedication to quality stand out in this space. More importantly, this partnership represents a broader truth: technology companies in cannabis must come together to deliver best-in-breed, integrated solutions that empower retailers, brands, and consumers alike. By combining strengths, we can accelerate innovation and raise the bar for the entire industry,” he adds.
