Client Requirements
Our client believes that beauty and comfort should become available to anyone, at any time, regardless of where they live. And why not, extending these services to our favorite pets. Life is too short to waste time waiting in traffic or walking to a waxing appointment in the cold. Our client wanted to make an online platform that connects all the freelancer professionals to deliver all salon and makeup services to customers at their convenient time and location. Our client came to Hyperlink InfoSystem with a fantastic idea, and we have turned it successfully into a reality. We have developed two apps as per the client requirement: Biased - for customers and Biased professionals - for professionals. This online platform acts as a base for beauty professionals to expand their business horizons and leverage luxury and comforts for customers to get the best salon services at their doorsteps. We are glad that we succeed in fulfilling clients' demands by making a Biased app for iOS and Android platforms.

Challenges
To sync appointment with Inbuilt calendar and set a reminder
When customer book services, it is necessary to sync all their orders with their device's inbuilt calendar. Moreover, we have to send a notification before an hour to remind them about their appointment. To maintain the overall app scenario and to notify the user regarding their appointment was a little bit tough. After some in-depth research, our developers managed such a complicated procedure with the implementation of Alarm Interface along with their custom algorithm.
To Fetch Available Professional
To find a stylist was one of the major issues because it's necessary to assign a list of Professionals based on their availability on the same date, time, location, and services, which match the user's demand. An array of Professionals were sorted out based on their special availability, their special availability corresponding to the user location, and the date to resolve this issue. Our backend team managed this filtration through its custom filtration algorithm. This makes the entire process streamlined for both customers and professionals.
