Project Summary

fireup.pro was hired to build the web version of a grocery shopping startup's application and a backend operations UI, then shifted focus to building a native mobile app using React Native. The vendor developed backend services in Python/Django, implemented passive-tracking algorithms using AWS services, and built a scraper and database/querying stack. The MVP and prototype helped the client secure external funding and put the company's values into practice.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

The vendor built the initial prototype backend in Python/Django, used AWS services for passive-tracking algorithms, and implemented a Scrapy-based product search scraper. Data operations and querying/matching used MySQL and Elasticsearch. The frontend began in React but development shifted to React Native to deliver a native mobile app for Android and iOS. A backend UI for operations was also delivered.

Project Outcome

Prototype helped the client secure external funding.
The mobile application enabled the client to put their ideas and values into practice.
