Project Summary

A customer experience company hired Algoworks to build a native mobile platform to simplify purchasing regulated products (including alcohol) at venues such as sports events and hotels by removing the need to wait in line. Algoworks produced specifications, architecture, native iOS and Android apps, and a web-based back office, and integrated third-party SDKs/APIs for authentication. The client is satisfied with the team's responsiveness, work ethic, and follow-up; the engagement began in September 2021 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • Eliminate customer wait times for purchasing controlled/regulated items at events and venues
  • Enable compliant sales of alcohol within the United States via a mobile flow
  • Integrate the platform with vending machines and a custom control box while scaling for future regional expansion

Project Deliverables

  • Native iOS mobile app
  • Native Android mobile app
  • Web-based back-office/admin portal
  • Architecture and technical specifications for iOS and Android
  • Integrations via SDKs and APIs for authentication/validation
  • Vending-machine integration including custom control box
  • Assistance with App Store submission

Project Solution

Algoworks worked with the client to create specifications and clarify requirements, developed the architecture for both iOS and Android, and built native mobile apps. They also developed a web-based back office to manage the service, integrated third-party SDKs and APIs (for authentication and validation), supported integration with vending machines via a custom control box, and assisted with App Store submission.

Project Outcome

  • Met sprint priorities and maintained app uptime targets
  • Generally met deadlines with occasional delays due to third-party dependencies
