Being in the beverage delivery business, he wanted to take his business online for its expansion.So, our client got the idea of building a mobile app that helps him to take his business online and opens ups the opportunity for more business. He was looking for native mobile app development companies on Google to convert his idea into reality. While researching on Google, he landed on our website and explored our work and checked our portfolio.Getting impressed with our work he contacted us and shared his app requirements. As we worked on similar apps, we understood the detailed requirements and shared our expertise. After that, we collaborated to work on this project. Solution We Developed for Our ClientAs our client was clear with the app requirements, we created a proper plan to work on the project. Based on the plan, we started the development of an app on his idea. To develop the Material app, we did research and gathered information on the latest features and user experience trends.With detailed and in-depth information, we programmed all the features and functionalities of the application. Features like search, product description, add to cart, payment gateway, order history, geo-location, and tracking.As he wanted to make the application faster when it gets open, we designed custom algorithms. So, users can get the best quick and easy-to-use experience within the mobile app. After developing the mobile app, we tested it multiple times and then deployed it on the Apple App Store first and then on Google Play Store. Challenges We FacedDuring the development of an app, the client came with a demand to load product detail with images within 2 seconds. Basically, our client wants to provide a quick response in the application to his users. He wanted that his mobile app should load all the content of products with details within 2 seconds only on the homepage.Even the best eCommerce apps were not providing the same user experience to their users. To achieve it, our developers have done proper research to achieve the one-blink content loading.For that, our developers designed the algorithm from scratch and used the cache loading method. This helped us to store the content of the products on the server as well as the client as a cache.With the cache, all the product details have been added to containers. So, when the client requests the data from the server, the server provides that data instantly as packaged are ready.Want to Develop an On-demand Delivery App?Tell us your requirements.
