Client Requirement

The client wants to develop a platform where all salon companies can register on the website to provide services to customers.

  • Salon businesses can manage their business in a paperless manner
  • Customers can search and book Salon services by searching nearest salon
  • Sellers can sell their products to the salons.

Our Approach to Develop Project

We followed a systematic approach to meet the client's requirements and develop the salon system. Firstly, we conducted in-depth discussions with the client to understand their specific needs, preferences, and business processes. This helped us create a comprehensive project roadmap and define the scope of work. Here is the roadmap of this salon system.

  1. 01
    Requirements Gathering:

    During the initial phase, we conducted in-depth discussions with the client to understand their specific needs and preferences. We analyzed the client’s business processes and the services he wanted to provide through this system.

  2. 02
    Planning and Design:

    Based on the requirements gathered, we created a detailed project plan and decided on the UI/UX design for the salon system app. We also planned for timelines, milestones, and deliverables, which we shared with the client for approval.

  3. 03
    Agile Development:

    To ensure flexibility and timely delivery, we followed an agile methodology to develop this salon system. We broke the project into smaller tasks, which we completed iteratively. We held daily stand-up meetings with the client to review progress, identify roadblocks, and adjust the plan as necessary.

  4. 04
    Quality Assurance:

    To ensure the quality of the final product, we implemented a comprehensive testing process. We conducted unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing to ensure that the salon system app met the client's requirements and was free of bugs.

  5. 05
    Deployment and Maintenance:

    Once the app was developed and tested, we deployed it to the client's servers and provided training to the salon staff on how to use it. We also provided ongoing maintenance and support to ensure the app remained up-to-date and fully functional.
