About the Business:

Plantly is an online plant marketplace that offers the widest variety of plants and plant-related products to customers throughout the United States.

Challenges:

Users face challenges with ensuring an intuitive, functional app design for all age groups, an efficient search engine for quick and relevant results, and accurate product information to maintain quality. Security and privacy of data and transactions are also critical. Vendors need smooth onboarding, a user-friendly interface for managing listings and orders, reliable inventory tracking, and a system for handling out-of-stock items.

Solution:

We have built a cross-platform e-commerce mobile app for customers and vendors.

User-Centric Design: We prioritized a sleek and user-friendly interface that is both easy to navigate and visually appealing. The design incorporated intuitive navigation, clear product categorization, and high-quality images to enhance the user experience.
Advanced Search and Filtering: We implemented a powerful search engine and sophisticated filtering options, allowing users to quickly find specific plants based on various criteria such as type, size, price, and availability.
Detailed Product Information: Each plant listing includes comprehensive descriptions and high-resolution images, providing buyers with all the necessary information to make informed purchasing decisions.
Seller Platform: We developed a robust backend for sellers, featuring tools for order management, inventory tracking, and customer reviews. This enabled sellers to efficiently manage their operations and build their reputation within the Plantly community.
Cross-Platform Availability: By leveraging Flutter, we ensured that Plantly is available on both the App Store and Google Play Store, making it accessible to a broad audience.
Secure Transactions: We integrated secure payment gateways to ensure safe and seamless transactions between buyers and sellers.
