Understanding The Problem & Our Approach

The Challenge

Existing grocery delivery apps lacked smart suggestions, had unreliable delivery windows, and couldn\'t guarantee product freshness, leading to customer churn.

Legacy Systems Scalability Issues Data Silos

Our Solution

We built a hyperlocal React.js grocery platform with smart cart suggestions, real-time tracking, subscription meal kits, freshness scoring, and 30-minute express delivery.

End-to-End Technical Workflow

Grocery browsing and cart building to picker assignment, smart substitution, delivery dispatch, and post-delivery feedback.

01

Basket Building

Customers browse with real-time stock availability checks; out-of-stock items hidden or marked for substitution.

Input: Product Browse
Output: Validated Cart
02

Order & Picker Assignment

Confirmed order assigned to in-store picker; optimised pick path generated to minimise fulfillment time.

Input: Confirmed Order
Output: Pick List + Route
03

Smart Substitutions

Out-of-stock items trigger ML-powered substitution suggestions; customer approves/rejects via real-time notification.

Input: OOS Trigger
Output: Approved Substitution
04

Delivery Dispatch

Packed order handed to delivery driver; live GPS tracking shared with customer for full delivery visibility.

Input: Packed Order
Output: Delivered + Rating
