BuddiGo: Revolutionizing On-Demand Shopping & Delivery
Developed a comprehensive mobile platform connecting users with on-demand shopping and delivery services, enabling the sharing economy through efficient task matching and real-time logistics.
The Challenge
In the rapidly growing sharing economy, BuddiGo needed a robust mobile platform that could efficiently connect users seeking shopping and delivery services with individuals willing to provide these services for compensation. The platform required seamless real-time matching, secure payment processing, and support for diverse device ecosystems including mainland China phones without Google Play Services.
The client had their own backend development team but needed experienced mobile app developers to implement the design vision and ensure stable server connectivity, creating a smooth user experience for both service requesters and providers.
