Project Summary

An agriculture technology company (GrowerInTheLoop / Green Nanny) engaged Honeycomb Software to develop a mobile-friendly web application for client document management and a customer portal tailored to cannabis cultivation facilities and growers. The portal was specified and built using .NET, C#, React, and an Azure SQL database and hosted on an Azure subscription. The client reported high satisfaction: the team was flexible, communicated via email and Microsoft Teams, provided detailed project breakdowns, and tracked progress effectively.

Key Challenges

Build a customer portal tailored for cannabis cultivation facilities and growers (GrowerInTheLoop)
Implement secure authentication and account management with multi-factor authentication
Provide two-tier content access (free vs exclusive) and downloadable content control
Enable administrator content management and prepare for payment processing integration

Project Solution

Honeycomb Software produced a Software Requirements Specification and designed the GrowerInTheLoop customer portal. They defined business requirements (authentication and MFA, account management, two-tier content access, downloadable content), administrator content-management features, and technical requirements (API and web front end). The solution specified hosting on an Azure subscription using .NET (C#), React for the UI, and an Azure SQL database, with source control and CI/CD processes on Azure DevOps. The team followed an agile approach and emphasized documentation and communication throughout the engagement.
