Our Approach to Develop Project

  1. 01
    Requirements gathering and analysis:

    We gather and analyze the requirements of the POS system, including the necessary features and functionalities.

  2. 02
    Technology stack selection:

    After that, we select a cloud platform and a technology stack that can support the development and deployment of the POS system.

    • Selecting programming languages
    • Frameworks
    • Technologies that are compatible with the chosen cloud platform.
  3. 03
    Microservices architecture design:

    We designed a microservices architecture that can handle the traffic and store all the data from the POS system. This involved breaking down the application into smaller, independently deployable services that can communicate with each other through APIs.

  4. 04
    POS system development:

    Then, we developed the POS system using cloud-compatible programming languages and frameworks. Our dedicated developers used agile development methodologies to ensure that the application is developed iteratively and met user requirements.

  5. 05
    Buyers' app development:

    After developing the POS system, we started working on the buyer's app. This app enables users to interact with the POS system and access its features from their mobile devices.

  6. 06
    Integration and testing:

    We integrated the POS system and buyers app together and conducted comprehensive (manual and automated) testing to ensure that the application is functioning properly.

  7. 07
    Deployment and maintenance:

    Finally, we deploy the POS system and buyer app on the cloud platform for use. Currently, we are providing regular maintenance and updates to ensure their continued performance and compatibility with new technologies. We are also providing training and support to the client and end-users.
