• Inventory Management: Empowered admins to manage product inventory, including adding new products, updating quantities, and setting price points.
• Push Notifications: Implemented push notification feature to notify users about order updates, promotions, and new arrivals.

Technologies Used:

• Flutter Framework
• Dart Programming Language
• Firebase (Firestore, Authentication)
• Provider State Management
• HTTP Package for REST API Integration
• Google Cloud Functions for Backend Logic

Challenges Faced:

• Real-Time Data Synchronization: Implementing efficient data synchronization between the mobile app and Firebase backend to maintain data integrity and consistency.
• User Experience Design: Designing an intuitive and responsive user interface that promotes ease of navigation, product discovery, and checkout process.
