Challenge
The client decided to diversify his business and use his agricultural knowledge to help people better manage their growing spaces.
There are virtual assistants in many industries, but in agriculture, this application is one of the few. The client initially started to develop the project in-house but soon realized that he could not cope on his own and asked us for help.
Solution
The idea behind the app is a virtual agronomist assistant at your fingertips. Anybody can grow plants with the help of experienced agronomists. So communication with the specialists in the agriculture field from the customer side was one of the most essential for the project.
The development started with a tight budget and deadlines to launch an MVP, but new features are constantly being added. It was very important to put up a proper architecture in both UX/UI and technical sides to support further extensions of the functionality. We started with Firebase services to cover backend tasks and React Native for mobile applications - we often use this approach to start projects fast and get to MVP launch as soon as possible. Currently, the backend of the system emerged as a microservices architecture system. Such services include machine learning algorithms, video calls, e-commerce, and so on.
