Project FAQ
Common questions about this project's architecture, process, and outcomes.
Were the Android and iOS apps built natively or cross-platform?
Both apps were built using React Native, enabling a shared codebase with platform-specific UI components — significantly reducing development time while maintaining a native look and feel on both platforms.
How does the grocery store manage real-time inventory on mobile?
The mobile apps connect to a WebSocket-powered inventory feed, so customers always see live stock availability. Out-of-stock items are automatically hidden from product listings.
Does the app support multiple delivery slots and zones?
Yes. The platform features a configurable delivery slot management system with geo-zone pricing, allowing the store to define different fees and time windows by delivery area.
