GEMKEY, a company providing water delivery services to both individuals and businesses, approached us to develop an online store and mobile application. The key requirement was to create a simple, user-friendly solution for ordering water and related products, with the ability for future scaling. Fast delivery within two hours was also a critical feature.
Project Goals
The main goals of the project were:
- Launch the e-commerce site and mobile application in a short timeframe.
- Enable users to order water and related products.
- Provide a convenient interface for tracking orders.
- Equip couriers and managers with tools for efficient order management.
Planning and Development
During the planning phase, we identified the essential functionalities needed for the initial product launch, focusing on delivering a solution that could be expanded over time:
-
PrestaShop Installation and Configuration: We installed and configured PrestaShop to meet the client's requirements, allowing the online store to go live quickly.
-
Mobile Application: We developed mobile applications for iOS and Android integrated with the online store:
-
Design and App Publishing Preparation: Banners, sliders, icons, and splash screens were prepared for the app:
-
Telegram Notifications: A Telegram notification module was integrated to allow couriers and managers to communicate and manage orders effectively:
-
Category Sections on Homepage: We modified the homepage by adding a slider-based product display for an easier shopping experience:
-
First Order Logic: We implemented a system where new clients pay an extra fee for water bottles, which is waived after the first order. The client is automatically moved from "New Customers" to "Regular Customers" based on their order history.
MVP Design and Development
The project adopted the classic PrestaShop theme with minimal adjustments, allowing a quick launch and initial customer testing. This approach resulted in a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – a product with enough features to begin operations and gather feedback for future improvements.
Results
The solution showed excellent performance from the start. The logistics and delivery system were thoroughly tested, providing customers with a convenient way to order water. The platform is ready for future scaling with new features as the business grows.
Conclusion
The GEMKEY project is an example of a successful product launch within tight deadlines, providing a ready-made solution for the water delivery market. PrestaShop allowed us to create a solid foundation for future development.
