Project Preview

The project covers all the stages of making custom Thob. Starting from the selection of fabric, stitching by the expert tailors and delivery to the customer. The projects provides two platforms for users, interconnected mobile and web. First is the CMS operable by coordinators, super admin, measurement expert and tailors. Second is the mobile platform available to the end customers. The customer would place an order via the mobile application. The mobile application focuses on helping the customer in selection of desired fabric and other options like cuffs, style etc. for their Thoob. The customer then moves ahead to pay for the thoob from with in the application. While the web portal helps the admin and coordinator to successfully deliver the order placed by the customers.

The order after being placed by the customers rides through different stages. Those stages include Order Placed, Measurement Expert Visit, Tailoring Department, Packed & Shipped, Delivered. Customer is able to track his order at any time through the mobile application. The payment method used by the application is both credit card and cash on delivery. The mobile application is developed in Arabic language while the back-end portal is in both Arabic and English.

Project Preview

Our approach towards this project was to first conduct a series of meetings with the client in order to fully understand the requirement. In this project, we first identified the key areas in which the architectural decisions required. Those areas included,

  • Analysis of Similar apps that are present in the store. Identification of best user experience with Right to Left aligned controls.
  • Research on payment methods for mobile and its integration with web portal and compliance with Apple and Google market place policies.
  • Identification of development technology, that included e-commerce as well as strong coherence with mobile application development. Support for push notifications, SMS (Short Message Service) Gateway and Email Gateway.
  • Defining the overall architecture of the project, the communication style to be used between mobile and portal and defining the security technique for this communication, as payment is involved.

Launch

This project has multiple type of users, each one has a different set of privileges. The mobile application, which is to be used by end customer needed to be developed in both android and IOS. So, it had a complex set of requirements dealing with all the users of the application. So, in order to streamline the design and development of the project, we divided the project into following concrete steps.

  • Simplify the requirement, create a architecture specification and scope document for whole of the project. Listing down each and every tiny detail of the project. It gave us a strong foundation, upon which whole building of the project was to be built.
  • Developed wire frames of the mobile application and web content management system. This step defined the user experience of the application and back-end portal.
  • Design the mobile application and web portal based on wire frames and user experience defined in previous step.
  • After the finalization of design, a functional specification document is prepared for both mobile application and web portal. It lists down the functional as well as non-functional behavior of the portal and mobile application.
  • All our hard work paid off in this phase, the development became very simple for us. Because the user experience and design was fully finalized, we proceeded to development phase and it got very speedy because design and architectural decisions were made in previous steps.
  • In this last step, we performed rigorous testing on both the web platform as well as mobile application. This step removed bugs and made it market ready product.
  • Our Product goes live on both android IOS and Web Portal simultaneously.
