PharmAPP is intended to enable this age-old reputed pharmacy chain of Goa, Farmacia Salcete (named after its HQ’s Taluka/County here), to cater to demand for medical and related supplies throughout India. It allows users to upload their prescription photos or search from a product list and add to their Cart which then can be sent to the Store along with an indication of Home Delivery or In-Store Pickup. Users can also request for a Callback from the store which is very handy for the elderly and non-tech savvy audience. Based on store’s response with pricing and discount details the user can make online payment and place the order. User can track the order’s progress and receivesnotifications at certain key milestones till its delivery.

Consumers can sign up/in using Google, Facebook or the traditional manual user ID and password. Other features involve Re-ordering past items, Deals, Discount Coupons, Savings till date, BMI calculator, Nearby Doctors and Hospitals, User details management etc.

We took over development of the very first version of this Android mobile app from another IT startup in mid-2018. Since then it underwent a complete UX re-design by a seasoned, international UXD professional while we handled the following:

1. Consulting towards brainstorming and translation of client’s business requirements into high-level functional designs in collaboration with the UX designer while also ensuring technical feasibility.
2. Detailed technical design, development, testing and deployment on AWS and Google Playstore.
3. Secured Payment Gateway implementation and integration.
4. Architecture, design and development of RESTful API-driven runtime integration with client’s on-premise legacy Pharmacy Management System.
5. Project Management with Agile approach.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Android, Ruby On Rails, PostgreSQL, FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging), NGINX, AWS
