VitaMed: 6 Months To The First In-App Purchase
Custom Software Development: Our collaboration with VitaMed led to the creation of an advanced e-commerce solution—an extremely personalized healthcare mobile application. The Vitamed app provides users with a diverse selection of over-the-counter medications and medical supplies.
Expertise, Deliverables, and Tech Stack:
The Challenge
When we took on this project, we encountered several obstacles: the app could handle only one request per second, suffered from user experience issues, and was not functional as an e-commerce platform. Our goal was to convert it into an intelligent, scalable, efficient, and responsive system. The primary aim was to enable users to find the appropriate medication by entering symptoms, brand names, or active ingredients.
The Solution
- Thorough architectural design
- Customized user pathways for various user categories
- Improved front-end for seamless purchasing, including options for recurring health needs
- Transition to Fargate for enhanced scalability and performance (over 1000 requests per second)
- Implemented smart search functionality using ElasticSearch
- Integrated services such as Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shippo, Twilio, and TaxJar for streamlined operations
