Challenge

Customer required an app, main core concept of which is to help customers to wash & clean their clothes based on geolocation. Customers leave their stuff in some place and when it`s washed up they take it back by courier or theirselves in predefined place. Additionally customer wanted to have different user roles.

The key features

Microservices architecture was chosen to achieve auto scaling of application, app supports scaling for new pick-up points added directly from the administration panel with any ordering options client might want.
User interface was built as React and React Native apps that interact with php based back-end, storing all the user information, orders and administration data in MySQL database.
Informative content such as promo system and app description is controlled by administrators and stored using contentful. System is integrated with payment gateways allowing users to pay subscriptions with credit cards or Paypal accounts.

Infrastructure Tech. The mobile client created by Plavno uses the React.Native, that allows you to have a single code base for mobile applications for IOS and Android, Mobile apps share a common core for order placing and customer support chats with the web app, allowing cross-platform calls and chats.
Additionally, an application was developed to monitor the load and balance users between different instances. Analytics data is used in the administration panel to control delivery and balance orders between points.
