Building a Seamless Cafe-on-Wheels Experience

As more people work from home, the concept of suburban living evolves with the times. Zing was determined to provide its customers with an unprecedented level of convenience using data and advanced algorithms.

The challenge was to build a mobile app from scratch with a very short time-to-market, integrating fleet management, goods ordering, and smart push notifications, all while ensuring a seamless cross-platform experience for iOS and Android users.

[ Solution ]

Building the Solution

The Akveo team integrated branded fleet management and goods ordering solutions into the application. The app was built using React Native with TypeScript for type safety, and GraphQL via AWS Amplify to reduce similar API calls.

Key features delivered:

Map displaying nearest stops and cafe vehicles
Ordering and payment for coffee and related products
Latest order status display for collection
Smart push notifications for sales and rewards via OneSignal
