Lalafo - Application for the charitable C2C online platform
Ever since the onset of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the charitable C2C (consumer-to-consumer) online platform Lalafo has been active in Poland. A dedicated group of volunteers meticulously gather, categorize, snap photos of, and write detailed descriptions for various items, which are then listed on a virtual platform. This platform enables people to browse and select products they require, no matter their particular needs or whereabouts in Poland.
The key task of this project was to develop a photography app. The company planned to scale and open warehouses with photo zones in different cities. Our task was to reduce the cost of these photo zones.
App development In order to significantly reduce the cost of the photo zone by 2-2.5 times, we proposed using an Android smartphone instead of a professional camera, and a tablet instead of a laptop. For these devices, we recommended the development of two applications that can communicate with each other via a local network – Wi-Fi. The first device – the smartphone – would serve as the camera, affixed to the photo zone, and responsible for capturing and transmitting the photo to the server. The second device, a tablet, would oversee the entire process. Once the photo has been taken, the operator can add several descriptive tags to the item, following which it will be saved onto the server.
Application Testing The application testing was delivered into two phases. First, we conducted internal QA testing to ensure functionality, performance and usability met our requirements. Next, the photographer tested the application at the photo zone for real-world validation. Successful testing enabled commercial and charitable use, with ongoing support from our team.
