About the Client

The client is a retail solutions provider operating in a competitive multi-channel commerce space. With a vision to unify customer experience and streamline backend operations, they cater to both B2C users and internal customer service teams through a mobile-first solution. Their services include order fulfillment, POS, vendor coordination, and real-time customer service — all managed through a single app ecosystem for both Android and iOS.

Challenges

Performance or Efficiency Issues

Inconsistent behavior across platforms (Ionic web vs native mobile) made debugging and testing time-intensive.
POS timeout logic had to be implemented selectively on certain pages, not globally.

Access/Security Gaps

Native camera access on iOS triggered errors due to improper image encoding and permission misconfigurations.
Geolocation access and accuracy required additional permissions and platform-specific handling, especially on iOS.

Scalability or Maintainability Bottlenecks

Barcode scanner threw critical thread errors on iOS due to third-party plugin instability, needing reliance on external developer updates.

Integration or Data Flow Issues

Native features like camera and barcode scanner posed inconsistent behavior across web and mobile, requiring alternate implementation strategies.

UI/UX or Workflow Limitations

Sign-up and login flows needed synchronization with customized order and inventory modules.
POS timeout had to be restricted to user-specific pages while maintaining seamless flow.

Reduce Order-to-Fulfillment Time

We optimize workflows and integrations to speed up retail operations by up to 60%.

Solution: Challenge → Solution → Result Mapping

Challenge	Solution	Result
Platform Inconsistencies Across Devices	Platform-specific debugging, plugin updates, and conditional logic to differentiate mobile vs web behavior.	Stable app performance across Android, iOS, and web environments.
iOS camera and barcode scanner failures	Replaced base64 image transfer with optimized media handling and adjusted permission settings for camera access.	Native camera and barcode scanning functionalities restored and stabilized.
Selective POS timeout implementation	Implemented modular timeout triggers based on user roles and current view state.	Enhanced session control without compromising usability across flows.
iOS geolocation inaccuracy	Tuned iOS location services permissions and fallback strategies for low-accuracy data points.	Accurate user localization for order and delivery features.
