Abstract of On-demand Delivery App Solution
This Urder is an on-demand app that connects customers with stores and delivery partners in real-time.
Urder includes 4 app solutions such as:
Customer app
Store app
Driver app
Admin panel
This app has a feature of U-go, which enables you to send anything to anyone anywhere in your city. The client generates revenue by charging a commission on each transaction made through the platform. We have integrated Stripe as a payment gateway for digital payments.
This on-demand app solution is a convenient way for customers to get the products they need, and for stores and drivers to generate additional revenue.
About Client and His Innovative App Idea
Based in Washington DC, USA, our client was working for one of the largest rideshare/delivery apps in the country.
He realized these two core challenges:
Drivers depend on tips and don’t get paid enough to cover basic operational costs.
Retailers pay high commissions just to be on the platform.
He wanted to create an online delivery solution that can address these challenges.
The client found us through Upwork while searching for the leading on-demand mobile app development company. Since we have a 99% success ratio and have developed 40 on-demand app solutions he approached us.
He was specifically impressed by Glovo, an on-demand app designed and developed by us. Glovo became a Unicorn and has more than 50 million downloads. This gave him the confidence to work with us.
On-demand Delivery Solution We Provided
Our senior on-demand mobile app developers developed a multi-purpose app delivery solution using a technology stack like Stripe, Glide, Twilio, Retrofit, and Ruby-on-Rails to deliver a scalable product.
Considering his requirement, we developed:
Admin panel: Enabled the client to manage their entire operation from a single interface.
Store app: Enabled to manage inventory, view and accept orders, and track delivery progress.
Driver app: Allowed drivers to manage delivery schedules, and view delivery history and earnings. The real-time GPS tracking and optimized delivery routing helped drivers to manage deliveries easily.
Customer app: Browse and order products from a range of stores, track the status of their orders in real-time and provide feedback on their experience.
Website: Platform for customers to access the same features as the mobile app, making it easy for them to browse and order products from a range of stores.
Challenges We Faced
The only challenge faced by our QA team was testing for the timezone compatibility. It’s important to ensure that the app’s features, such as scheduling and notifications, work properly regardless of the user’s location or time zone.
To resolve this, we used testing tools that simulate different time zones and geographic locations, as well as manual testing with real users in different regions.
Apart from this, we didn’t face any technical challenges while integrating major features. As we have already developed several on-demand app solutions for our clients, we have the expertise with the latest technologies to develop a well-functioning website as per our client’s requirements.
