Challenges & Solutions

Real time Chat System where the group of Pet Care Providers and Dog owners can chat with each other. We require s system where DO and PCP can share messages, videos, voice real time.

Chat feature one of the important feature of Sniffs Snout system and we need to have this in both mobile app and website. we integrated the third Party chat API’s into our system. We used the TokBox API as it runs quickly with advanced features, control and wide device support.

A flexible payment deduction process where we can deduct the amount from DO a day before the service and keep it in Merchant account. The amount of PCP after deducting the commission should be available only after 3 days of service completion. DO can cancel the request refund to be made in case if PCP failed to appear and start the service.

We choose Delayed Chained Payment Using Adaptive Payments in PayPal. Because we require payment to be indirectly split among secondary receivers. The primary receiver doesn’t have to pay the fees with the secondary receivers paying all the fees.

Solution for check background of PCP as we need to make sure that all PCP’s in Sniffs Snout are professional and reliable. This is very important to gain the trust of Sniffs Snout Users.

We implemented third party API’s for background check named as ‘fadv’. Integrated the API into the app through which they directed to their website and able to do the Background process and make payment on their website. After the background check process, they get the badge on their profile. PCP will receive the email notification when their Background Check Process will be done.

We need to design develop and maintain the system on 3 different platforms. Those are web, Android, and iOS. The challenge is to create clean, intuitive user experience which is slick and sharp thus carrying the level of professionalism that will earn trust from both Dog Owners and Pet Care Providers.

We discussed to implement the system on hybrid but then because of the advantages of native app we decided to develop the system in native for mobile apps. Going with hybrid we can save efforts and cost but as we are not on position to compromise. Native gives us many advantages like they perform best, because they have direct access to hardware and memory. UI components are represented in a form that is native to the OS, so processing of graphics is fastest. Background processing, making use of hardware such as the accelerometer, and interfacing with external products like HealthKit, Bluetooth, and a low-level network is all possible. We made the system look similar on all platforms so that User feels familiar with the application irrespective of from which platform he is accessing.
