A wishlist of in-App features as long as both arms
We teamed up with Specialty Foods to create an online/in-app ordering solution so that they could service customers during the COVID-19 period. Since modern consumers have become so accustomed to food ordering and delivery Apps (such as UberEats, Deliveroo), we knew the assumed and expected functionality of the App would be rather demanding – resulting in a feature-rich project specification. After months of development, we were able to deliver a product with a feature set on par with the other rival Apps which has proven to become a successful component of the Specialty Foods retail model.
Achieving ultimate accuracy of order totals
Since the weights/measurements of produce could vary from one order to the next, our client wanted to take an honest, fair approach to order fulfilment whereby payment was collected once the entire order was prepared. This meant that our system needed to accommodate a function allowing store managers to adjust the order weights/measurements of certain line items. This means that customers would be charged an accurate amount representative of the exact volume(s) of produce they are purchasing. We also built-in some risk management strategies to aid this process (eg. store managers can’t adjust weights/prices by over a certain percentage).
