Our client, FloraPoint, a flower store, required automated cash handling. They approached us with a request to develop a mobile app for their Evotor PoS terminal.

Research and Planning

During the first stage of development, we worked closely with the client to gather initial data about their business processes and customer needs. We conducted several interviews and focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of their operations and the challenges they faced. We also researched the latest trends in mobile app development and came up with a comprehensive plan to meet the client's requirements.

App Development

One of the key decisions we made was to use Java as the primary framework for the app. We chose this language because of its stability and compatibility with the Evotor terminal — hardware and software tool that provides automation of the cashier's workplace in retail outlets of small and medium-sized businesses. We also decided to deploy the server-side on the terminal itself, which would improve the app's performance and reduce the risk of data loss.

Primary Functions

The app we developed had several primary functions:
  • The app allowed customers to make payments and receive receipts electronically. This streamlined the checkout process and reduced the risk of errors
  • It also included a reporting feature that enabled store managers to generate detailed reports about sales, inventory, and other key metrics
  • Additionally, the app had a logging system that recorded all erroneous operations, making it easier to troubleshoot issues and improve performance over time.

Results

Our work with FloraPoint was a success. By conducting product research and preparing projects, we were able to introduce modern banking techniques and optimize their cash operations. This helped the store to run more efficiently and provide better service to their customers.
