FoodTech projects we delivered
Web platform development for robotic food delivery
The SoftTeco team developed a PWA with a microservices architecture, third-party integrations, and complex business logic. It includes several user roles and interfaces that allow merchants, managers, and operators to accept, manage, and track orders. In addition, our data science experts collected and analyzed telemetry data from robots to improve the delivery routes and maps.
iOS app upgrade for a food delivery service
Our developers rewrote a legacy, inconsistent codebase, migrating it from Objective-C and Swift to Swift only, making it suitable for unit testing. Implementation of the iOSSnapshotTestCase library facilitated UI testing, while user flow redesign elevated user engagement. We developed B2C features, added GraphQL for the server API, and improved app analytics.
Web platform development for restaurant deals and discounts
We developed a platform that connects eateries that offer specialized discounts with MomenZ cardholders. Users can view available discounts, leave reviews, and purchase MomenZ cards. Our experts integrated a map and built an easy filtering system to find a nearby restaurant. At the same time, analysis of historical customer data provides personalized recommendations. Our team introduced multiple payment options and built a configurable push notification system.
iOS app modernization for food truck search and booking
SoftTeco upgraded an iOS app that connects users with vendors by adding map integration, search and filtering features, and push notifications. The team paid extra attention to the app’s responsiveness across devices, ensuring the design is compatible with a range of iPhone models. We also implemented favorites and vendor booking to enable convenient reservations. Users can now track food trucks’ locations in real time and check their availability.
