Overview

Every home needs different grocery items, and several companies see selling these items as an opportunity. Our client from UK contacted us to develop a creative and competitive grocery app for their network of grocery shops. They searched for a comprehensive digital app solution provider and finally partnered with OrangeMantra. The client’s main aim was to build a cross-platform app that helps users request their grocery items in real-time. The app is available in the English language and designed for the UK audience only.

Our Process

Our team went above and beyond the client’s grocery app requirements during the application development. We build an app which offers a smooth, bug-free experience. The interface was clutter-free and simple to navigate which encourage shoppers to become repeated customers. We listened to the client carefully and started to examine the design options meeting their business model. The development process was divided into 3 key segments — the front end, APIs, and the back-end development of the app. We met the deadline for delivering the application. The application had two interfaces: one for customers and one for administrators.

The Problem
