Nestlé
Overview
Goals
The main goal for which Nestle was aiming is to launch an app to improve their product storage.
Technology used
Kotlin, Swift and Nodejs.
Results
Using the latest design guides from both iOS and Android platforms and the use of an MVP pattern based on Clean Architecture, Nestle obtained a robust app with which the users can scan the products at the stores and win prizes. Obtaining a better customer value.
Challenges
- Camera – One of the challenges when developing this app was its focus towards emergent markets such India or Brazil, where the quality of their phone’s camera is significantly worse than other markets. The issue develops in a bad or slow recognizement from the batch code. The solution was to insert a manual option so the user can do it him/her self.
- China – InShelf uses a library based on machine learning from Google for the barcode and batch recognition. This causes a localization problem in China because all Google systems are forbidden there.
What we did
- Develop two mobile apps and part of a backend.
- Give support to new business petitions.
- Integration with the backend.
Business Impact
Apiumhub and Nestlé have a long successful relationship, and in 2023 Nestlé has trusted us once again with a new project, OSCAR.
OSCAR is a platform that is available to any Nestlé employee to propose and track improvement ideas for the processes within Nestlé. Using this platform allows Nestlé to consider proposals to save money, avoid waste and improve business performance at any level of the company. Moreover, OSCAR is a development of a platform to replace an existing software, so it adapts 100% to the workflows of Nestlé.
In addition to this, we have continued leading critical projects such as the Nestlé Supplier Portal and Source to Pay, which are key tools that connect Nestlé with their providers and are instrumental to its supply chain.
- Implementation of a tool to track improvement ideas to replace an existing 3rd party
- Moved from a user based license fee to an own developed platform
- Leading the Nestle Supplier Portal, tracking provider orders all over the globe
- Managed products for several markets within Nestlé
