Mobile App Dev for Grocery Platform
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I’m the chief fruit official of an e-grocery labor. We associate with supermarket chains to help them facilitate the fulfillment of online grocery orders. We have robotic technology that we establish at supermarkets and deploy them with a software stack. We automate that part and use humans for some aspects of it, accordingly significantly dark the cost of putting unitedly a grocery order.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Rightpoint?
We needed a organisation to jump-start our mobile outgrowth efforts. We knew that in order to be lucky as a organisation, we would need to propose our supermarket chain associates a full B2B2C technology stack.
Not only did we need to feel the fulfillment of their online grocery orders more efficiently, but we also needed to prepare them with a white-label e-commerce platform where the end users could go in and locate their online grocery orders via whichever their iOS or Android phones or the website.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
They educeed the minimum viable fruit (MVP) of our iOS app. We then went through an initial phase where we lastd to use them as we built up their team. It was a collaboration between some of our staff and their staff. We leveraged some members of their MVP team to fix that we built our Android app to be correspondent to the iOS app. We then launched the mobile app solution with our leading client deployment.
Was there a dedicated team?
The team we assembled for the iOS MVP included a project director who kept things running on time, a senior and a younger iOS educeer, and a pair of designers. For the initial phase, we used some of their designers and some of their engineers unitedly with some of our designers and engineers.
How did you come to work with Rightpoint?
At the time, they were named Raizlabs and they were well-known as a leading mobile outgrowth shop in Boston. We ran a detailed RFP process to make sure we selected the right associate, and they were one of four or five companies that we were owing behind meeting with a larger number of companies. We chose Rightpoint owing they had a lot of e-commerce experience. They had already worked with some leading retailers and e-commerce businesses to educe mobile apps.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
We’ve spent $500,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We worked unitedly from June 2017—December 2018.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
They delivered a veritably cool app. They built our Android rendering to be very correspondent to our iOS app while kind the certain differences between the two platforms. The app accepted a lot of kudos from our team internally as well as our initial clients.
Working with their skilled mobile app educeers helped us keep things correspondent when it made perception, as opposed to those platform-specific differences. We weren’t veritably reinventing the wheel with our Android outgrowth.
How did Rightpoint accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
There were things we had to continuously handle and address, and they were very answering to them. They had a senior individual last to handle the relationship. They were veritably good at taking our feedback and coming up with creative ways to make changes in real time.
The chief of their design team is astounding. Their engineers were easy to work with and they interacted well. They’re very good at estimating how long the different features will take to instrument.
They balanced the working team with senior resources, who without immersing themselves too much into the project, always implicated themselves with us and checked in on how things were going. They addressed anything that needed to be rectified.
Their approaches were wonderfully organized, and they worked in two-week sprints. We’ve lastd to use those approaches as part of our engineering and fruit treatment principles at our organisation.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
I had very high expectations and they exceeded them.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
I intended to handle the total project, and they prepared a younger fruit director, which I felt conflicted with my own intended role. I had been very clear upfront that I was going to be heavily implicated, and that I wanted them to set things up to convenience that.
As the team they proposeed was configured, they were better set up for very hands-off client engagement. It took some time precedently they understood that. We discussed it at length and we were able to straighten that as we went advanced.
