The project was realized for L.A.P. Company Limited, a food delivery service for tourists and expats in Phuket — Aroi Dee.
Our main goal was to create an ecosystem of food delivery apps that would enable convenient interaction between customers, restaurant managers and couriers.
This was important to the client:
We used Flutter for system development to create cross-platform mobile apps with high performance, flexible UI and unified code on iOS and Android. This accelerated the development process and reduced the cost of supporting both platforms.
Flutter handles complex design elements well. It's easy to change code in it and see the result immediately. This framework works well with large projects under heavy load and is ideal for services like Aroi Dee.
The cross-platform approach proved its worth in production. The solution turned out to be flexible and scalable.
We created five apps:
Users on the island can choose between Russian, English, Thai and Chinese.
All releases took 1 year to develop. During this time, the composition of our team changed, allowing us to manage resources effectively and provide flexibility in the development process.
Aroi Dee has become popular with Russian-speaking tourists due to its user-friendly interface, similar to the food delivery services common in Russia.
Discovery phase
We spent 2.5 months working hard to define the key objectives of the project: studying the needs of the target audience, developing a roadmap, creating an intuitive user interface and prototypes that would be culturally appropriate and meet the expectations of users from different countries.
Development
Flutter was chosen to implement the application functionality, providing cross-platform and high performance. This ensured the stability of the application on both iOS and Android.
Testing and Release
Before releasing the product, we conducted multi-level testing at every stage of development to ensure that there were no bugs and that the application was ready to use.
Maintenance and Improvements
Based on user feedback, we refine the app by adding new features and improving the UX.
The service consists of five interconnected applications that create a complete ecosystem for everyone involved in the process: customers, restaurants and couriers.
Main features of Aroi Dee:
The app offers customers a wide selection of dishes and easy delivery tracking via Google Maps. Restaurant managers can efficiently manage orders and analyze with built-in automation and statistics. Couriers receive convenient routes and up-to-date order status.
The main challenge was the seamless transition from the old application ecosystem written in Ionic to the new one. We had to do everything as unobtrusively as possible for the existing application users: organize data migration, implement new functionality and UI.
By choosing Flutter, we've reduced the cost and time of application development.
Aroi Dee has become a popular service in Phuket, quickly gaining thousands of downloads and receiving positive feedback from users, especially Russian speakers. The project was shortlisted for the Runet 2024 rating competition.
The ecosystem of applications has greatly simplified interaction for customers, managers and couriers. The easy connection process, the convenience of the platform and the transparent terms of cooperation attracted a stream of new partners and users.
