Challenges
- The app required a functional design for the customers to use and book services conveniently at one go.
- The app was to be developed such that the customers could conveniently log in or sign up easily.
- The app must allow customers to find the right personalized services according to their hair type.
- Developers were required to integrate it with a secure payment gateway.
- The client wanted to make the services more convenient by keeping the customer notified about the appointment.
Solutions
- The app designers followed Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and designed a purely functional and crisp interface for the app.
- The users could log in through their convenient Apple, Gmail, or Facebook Id. And the sign up process was kept crisp and convenient.
- The iOS developers at Adorebits incorporated various filters in the app, which allowed the customers to sort according to their hair type, their preferred package, and the services they require.
- The customers can choose the date and time for the service and they may rebook a hair stylist directly through the app.
- The app was integrated with Stripe payment gateway for secure payments.
- The app kept the customer notified about his booked appointments and displayed instructions if any minor arrangements were required.
- The customers can also add their feedback about the service and they can decide a custom tip for the hair stylist.
- An intuitive backend panel was developed for the admin to manage the customer requests, appointments, payments, notifications, ‘Help’ queries, and the app content.
Results:
