Apps for Pet Care

Apps for pet care with real-time updates, appointment management, and prescription refills

The project involved the development of a comprehensive digital solution for pet care facilities and pet owners aimed at improving communication and services within the pet care industry. The mobile app served as a central hub for pet owners to receive real-time updates about their pets' care at veterinary facilities, enabling appointment requests and prescription refills. Web platforms included a superadmin platform for facility management and a clinic platform for appointment and prescription management. An iPad app was tailored for clinic staff to efficiently manage pet appointments and provide immediate updates to pet owners.

By combining real-time communication, appointment management, and community engagement features, the solution enhances the pet care experience for both pet owners and veterinary professionals, fostering a sense of trust, convenience, and community within the pet care ecosystem.

Challenge

The client had previously engaged with a vendor whose work did not meet expectations. The primary challenge was twofold: firstly, to redefine the scope for developing a new cross-platform mobile app on React Native, and secondly, to improve the backend infrastructure for improved efficiency and performance. Another significant challenge was the need to integrate various features while ensuring a smooth transition from the previous vendor's work. Overall, the challenge revolved around refining the project scope, modernizing the technology stack, and aligning the UI/UX design with client expectations to deliver an intuitive and user-friendly solution that met the evolving needs of the pet care industry.
