Partnership Goal
Facing a challenge from their customers – a growing preference for digital payments – our client, particularly concerned about small businesses in remote areas, knew they needed a solution. Traditional POS systems were simply too expensive.
The answer- a mobile app! We developed an app that empowers businesses to take payments easily, on the go, and ditch those bulky machines. In doing so, our goal was to develop a mobile point-of-sale (POS) application that would streamline their payment processing system.
Before
- Traditional POS systems were inaccessible for many businesses.
- The inability to accept digital payments hurts competitiveness.
After
- The mPOS app allows easy payment processing.
- Stay ahead with modern payment solutions.
Team Formation
Assembling the right team is crucial for any successful project. To develop this mobile POS app, we brought together a team of 12 skilled individuals with diverse expertise. The team included web developers who focused on the app's functionality on various platforms. Mobile app developers specifically worked on creating a user-friendly experience for both businesses and customers. Quality assurance testers carefully checked every feature to ensure a reliable and problem-free app.
A designer helped create an interface that's both easy to use and visually appealing. The product owner worked closely with the client to understand their vision, while the business analyst ensured the app addressed the key needs of the target market. Finally, a project manager kept the project on schedule and facilitated smooth collaboration between all team members. This combination of skills ensured the successful development and launch of the mobile POS app.
