Zonely: Custom application.
Web and mobile from a single Django backend, built with React and React Native. Staff and customers work against the same records, so nobody spends the morning reconciling two versions of the truth.
The challenge.
- The client needed a dependable product to run a specific workflow end to end.
- It had to work cleanly for everyday users across their devices.
- Data had to be captured and stored consistently.
- Edge cases in the workflow had to be handled explicitly rather than left to workarounds.
Our approach.
- Built the web and mobile app with React and React Native.
- Backed it with Django over a persistent store.
- Modelled the core workflow so data is validated and consistent.
- Kept the interface simple for everyday use.
- Handled the workflow's edge cases explicitly in the model, not in workarounds.
The outcome.
- Users run the core workflow from one web and mobile app.
- Data is stored consistently instead of living in spreadsheets.
- The product is straightforward to extend.
- Edge cases are handled by design rather than by workaround.
