Challenges

1. Dynamic UI Generation

A dynamic collection view was implemented to enable the user to see various category segments simultaneously on the home screen. It means the category blocks generated were interdependent on the image size.

2. Enduring the Vertical and Horizontal Scroll

When the consumer selects a particular category, a dynamic, detailed page gets opened in front of that specific category. Managing horizontal and vertical scrolls to prevent the UI conflict was indeed a task.

3. Maintaining Product Lists

Regularly maintaining an updated list of products through catalog management and presenting it in a simple yet effective format was quite tricky. Processing multiple orders for the shoppers, and mapping of products available with stored was also tough.

Our Solutions

It is a universal truth now that mobile is an influencing factor in the eCommerce growth, and it is opting by businesses at a breakneck pace. Thus, we suggested a mobile strategy for the business to move with the trend as consumers today prefer mobile apps.

We recommended the client use the web-based Backend application and an Admin app. This solution helped in reducing the cost as well as time for both the operation and development process.

Though, with some frame size calculation and implementation of custom logic, the entire scenario of Dynamic UI Generation was wielded quite efficiently by the developers.

Our team of experts overcame with the horizontal and vertical scrolls scenario by using the UI Delegate, where the entire scroll direction was managed in the UI.
