Cannabis App for Users & Store Management

Business Goals

The 'Star Buds' project was initiated by a client in the USA operating recreational cannabis stores. The client already had a website but required a mobile application and an admin panel to expand their reach and streamline operations. The primary goal was to provide a user-friendly platform for end-users to browse products, place online orders for in-store pickup, and manage product subscriptions. Simultaneously, the admin panel would empower store owners to efficiently manage their products, stores, orders, and customer subscriptions.

Challenges

The key challenge was creating a seamless and intuitive system that catered to both end-users and store owners. The mobile app needed to provide a compelling and efficient experience for browsing, ordering, and managing subscriptions while adhering to legal compliance in the cannabis industry. For store owners, the admin panel required robust functionality to handle product listings, order management, and subscription setups, ensuring accuracy and real-time updates. The integration between the app and the admin panel had to be smooth, secure, and reliable.

Product Description

The project comprised two main components:

  • Admin Panel: Designed for store owners, the admin panel allowed for comprehensive management of their operations. Store owners could add or update product listings, manage store-specific details, track orders, and configure subscription settings. The admin panel ensured that all updates were reflected in real-time on the mobile app, providing a seamless user experience for customers.
  • Mobile Application: Targeting end-users, the mobile app offered a sleek interface to explore a wide range of cannabis products. Users could place orders for in-store pickup and subscribe to products for recurring purchases. The subscription feature automatically generated orders on predefined dates based on the selected frequency and subscription period, ensuring convenience for the customers.
By bridging the gap between store owners and end-users, the 'Star Buds' project successfully delivered a tailored solution to meet the client's needs. The result was an integrated platform that enhanced operational efficiency for store owners and elevated the shopping experience for customers.
