Requirements
Client’s core business is into on-demand delivery of various items including food, books, home appliances, stationery, etc. He wanted to have a flawless delivery application for surging his business sales across different locations in Mumbai. He approached us for developing a multi-vendor delivery application that includes a customer app, outlet app and driver app, including a backend solution for managing the business.
Challenges
Multiple Drop Location Find Nearby Address Our developers experienced too many location conditions here. Conditions were: Pick up & Drop location, PIck up & Drop cum Pick up and later Drop location (Location A - Pick up, Location B - Drop & also pick up, and Location C Drop).
Socket Implementation: Implementing a socket was a bit difficult for the team. Hence, to overcome the complexity they started using a socket as a Support Chat feature. Later, the client asked our team to implement Order flow along with it. The client also requested to handle the Partner app & Driver app to sync both app’s Order flow.
Our developers had to design a custom price on the fly logic implementation for customers & Drivers. Here the estimated Prices were sent by customers first with socket programming than drivers would fire another socket with the final price and this was designed for the whole Order Flow.
Solutions
Firstly, we provided a demo of our existing food delivery solution, ‘DeOnDe’. The client loved the UI/UX and asked us to develop a similar application concerning the multi-vendor segment across Mumbai city. There were few challenges while developing the BelBoy app as described but the team overcome with knowledge, guidance and dedication towards the project.
