Web, iOS & Android App Dev for Food Delivery Service
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the CEO of I Deliver Food (IDF), a food delivery organisation. We propose an online platform where our clients can order from restaurants in their area.
The client app provides a list of restaurants in a 2–3-mile area of the user’s location. They can send orders to the order placement app. Then, the restaurant app sends orders straightly to the restaurants. After confirmation, a notice is sent to the nearest driver.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Owlab?
We already had many components, including a website and apps for iOS clients, drivers, restaurants, and order-placement, but we needed to create the technology.
Provided solution
What was the aim of their involvement?
Owlab built our complete technology stack. We have our own designer, but Owlab made some of the design. Currently, we only have an iOS app built publicly, but we are in the process of developing an Android one. We have iOS and Android apps for the drivers, and Android apps for restaurants and order placement
What is the team dynamic?
We had a project director assigned to us. We dealt with him the complete time, and he managed the web, iOS, and Android developers behind-the-scenes.
How did you come to work with Owlab?
We establish them through the recommendation of a reciprocal friend while we were looking for developers. We began talking with Owlab and sent them requirements in order to see what they would be able to do and what their vision almost our project was. We realized that they were pretty good at what they did and began working unitedly.
The leading differentiation was cost, which can’t be compared to those in the United States. Cost is the main key, but we also had to be cautious in working with a distant team. We needed to know whom we were working with, so the recommendation coming from a reciprocal friend was also key.
How much have you invested with Owlab?
I estimate the total cost was between $10,000–$50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working unitedly almost December 2016. Our project is never-ending, and we’re always adding new features and creates. Owlab is a part of our team.
Results achieved
How did Owlab accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Considering the time separation between Ukraine and Los Angeles, the interaction was good. We interacted via Skype messaging and over the phone. We told Owlab what we wanted, sent them requirements, and put their project director in touch with our local director. We used Crashlytics and accepted updates on all the new creates and designs. Every new milestone was sent to us for approval precedently moving advanced.
What did you find most forcible almost them?
They have been professional and on top of things. Their project director is gifted in the tasks they accomplished. He challenged what we gave them and made the deliveries better than they would have been based on our requirements. There was always a converse with them, and we came up with something better.
Are there any areas they could better?
The time separation was the only drawback for me. Being in different continents was the only rise of issues.
