Our Processes

Foodtech Software Development Process

Discovery & Strategy

The discovery phase involves gathering requirements, understanding business goals, defining the target audience, and outlining the project scope. This step ensures that both the development team and stakeholders are aligned on expectations, timelines, and functionality.

UI/UX Creation

In this phase, designers create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes that reflect the application’s user experience and visual style. The goal is to craft an intuitive and visually appealing interface that aligns with user needs and brand identity.

Agile Development

During development, the frontend (client-side) and backend (server-side) components are coded based on the approved designs and technical specifications. The frontend focuses on responsive user interfaces, while the backend handles data processing, logic, and integration with databases and external services.

3rd Party API integrations

We incorporate necessary third-party APIs to expand the application's functionality, such as payment gateways, data sources, or external services, ensuring secure and reliable integrations. This step involves configuring API connections, handling data exchanges, and testing interactions to seamlessly add new capabilities.

Quality Assurance (QA)

QA involves thorough testing of the application to identify bugs, ensure functionality, and validate performance across different devices and browsers. This includes manual and automated tests to verify usability, security, and compliance with requirements.

Live (Deployment)

The final step is deploying the software to a live production environment, making it accessible to end users. Post-launch support may include monitoring, bug fixes, and ongoing improvements based on user feedback and performance analytics.
