Project Summary

Jafton built a Flutter-based mobile app from scratch for a US supermarket chain, delivering iOS and Android clients with features such as three delivery methods, CMS-synced weekly ads, coupon clipping, barcode scanning, and offline order support. The engagement began with a six-week discovery phase, and the client reports a tripling of conversion rate and improved user engagement after feature launches. The vendor has provided strong engineering and QA support while staying on budget.

Key Challenges

Rebuild an existing mobile application
Lack of in-house mobile expertise and need for frontend development support

Mobile app (iOS and Android)
CMS integration that syncs weekly ads with the website
Three delivery options (online delivery, pickup, shipping of nonperishables)
Coupon clipping and savings features
Savings streak incentive feature
Offline order management feature

Project Solution

Jafton ran a six-week discovery phase and then developed the mobile application from scratch using Flutter for iOS and Android. They implemented core features including three delivery methods (online delivery, pickup, shipping), CMS-driven weekly ads synced with the website, coupon clipping, a savings-streak incentive, offline order management by store and zip code, and barcode scanning. The engagement included a team of three Flutter developers, a project manager, a QA specialist, and a DevOps resource.
