Enhancing User Experience and Streamlining Transactions

Our team partnered with Growers to develop mobile application to improve user experience and streamline transactions in the agricultural ecosystem. Key features implemented include various payment options (using Stripe Connect), and a rewards program managed through Talon.One, push notifications for significant events, sponsored banners, and chat functionality to enhance communication between farmers and retailers. We also introduced retailer and product localization strategies to meet specific customer needs across different geographic regions.

Optimizing Backend Infrastructure with AWS Services

We utilized a range of AWS services for the backend infrastructure to ensure optimal performance, scalability, security, and reliability. This included Amazon ECS and Fargate for container management, AWS WAF for security, and serverless services such as AWS EventBridge, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL on RDS for efficient database management. Our meticulous planning, development, and testing ensured seamless interoperability and optimal performance of these features within Growers’ existing AWS architecture.

Enabling Seamless Administrative Operations and CI/CD Pipelines

We developed functionalities for seamless administrative operations, allowing administrators to manage system operations effortlessly. Our supportive backend work integrated these features within Growers’ AWS architecture. Additionally, we guided the setting up of CI/CD pipelines tailored explicitly for mobile applications, empowering Growers to streamline their development process and ensure the rapid, reliable deployment of updates. Our comprehensive approach and collaboration with Growers significantly enhanced their technological capabilities, driving improvements in user experience and operational efficiency.
