Challenge
The mobile application of the client is available for iOS and Android devices. It is intended to simplify purchase processes at the supermarkets through the self-scanning of products and an option for mobile payments at the POS. The initial application was written in Xamarin Native - Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS. The Chudovo team had a task to improve the existing software product and implement business-critical features for further growth.

Solution
The customer's checkout app works in the following way:
- User downloads an application
- During the registration user selects the payment method
- In the supermarket the person connects to WLAN and the process can be started
- The store visitor scans the barcodes of the goods he wants to buy
- All the goods are displayed in the application with their relevant price
- As soon as the user makes a payment via the application (SEPA or credit card) he receives a special barcode
- Received barcode is scanned on the FastLane, the barrier is opened and the person may leave the supermarket with the purchases
The Chudovo team has joined the Xamarin app development process and taken over the following tasks:
- New features implementation
- Code refactoring
- Localization
- Permissions (user roles)
- Creation of unit tests
