An App For Managing Ever Home Service Booking!
This is a platform where anyone can add requirements to book a service. The service provider receives the order details and can bid for each order based on its alignment with their services. Scaling the platform when orders grew was a key challenge for the team.
aPurple ensured the platform scaled on demand using the backend architecture. Another major challenge was synchronizing service booking data scheduled by hotels and corporations with the platform. This feature allows service providers access to a calendar listing for all the bookings made by hotels and corporations in a month.
Such a feature requires a scalable solution that can accommodate data from multiple sources and offer secure access to the service provider. Our team leveraged expertise in MySQL database to build a system that can sync data from various sources into the calendar. Apart from the real-time synchronization our team helped them with,
