Shopping Network App

Our client, a Caribbean-based digital content service provider, wanted to build a system that allows potential buyers to visit shops on their mobile devices and browse through the products and allows shop owners to push discount coupons. Shop owners can create their shops, categories, and products inside a content management system. Potential buyers can browse the shops, categories, and products using their mobile devices in addition to being able to download discount coupons and use those at the shops. Because there are multiple views that the user browses we used Rhomobile, the only cross-platform mobile solution on MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture. The solution also involves integrating an SMS-based payment system. We used one of the latest features of Rhodes to create Native Extensions to interact with devices’ SMS/Text message module. The product runs on iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone and will be in the stores very soon.
