Project Summary

A US-based food and beverage startup partnered with Riseapps to build an innovative food and drink application from scratch. Riseapps provided UX/UI, native iOS and backend engineering, using Django and AWS for the backend and Stripe for payments. The team launched a native iOS app integrated with US grocers, managed the project with JIRA and Bitbucket, and demonstrated flexibility throughout the engagement.

Key Challenges

  • Needed a reliable and fast partner to develop an innovative food and drink app from scratch.
  • Required flexibility to accommodate frequent changes typical of an early-stage startup.
  • Needed an experienced team able to deliver under time pressure and build infrastructure from zero.

Project Deliverables

  • UX/UI design for a mobile application
  • Native iOS mobile application
  • Backend built with Django hosted on AWS
  • Robust database structure
  • API integrations with grocers and payment (Stripe)
  • Deployment to testing and production environments
  • Matching algorithms for ingredient/product recommendations

Project Solution

Riseapps supplied an integrated team (UX/UI designer, native iOS developer, and backend developer) to build the app from scratch. They designed the architecture and a robust database, developed the backend with Django, hosted services on AWS, implemented algorithms for ingredient-to-product matching, integrated APIs with US grocers and Stripe for payments, and deployed the application to testing and production. Project management used JIRA and Bitbucket and included active onboarding and account management.

Project Outcome

  • Launched native iOS application in the Apple App Store.
  • Integrated the app with multiple US grocers and payment infrastructure (Stripe).
  • Delivered a stable application that scales well with user load.
