Challenges
1. Managing Parent- Child Relationship:
The Schooped application is based on the parent and child relationship. Whenever a student is registered in the app, it needs to confirm his/her registration under the parent account. It wasn't easy to associate and manage relationships between parents and student accounts during the app development. Our developers managed this scenario by introducing a unique "student activation code" generated in the parent's account. This activation code is assigned to each student registered under the particular parent account, and thus the parent-child relationship is maintained in the entire app.
2. Multiple Drop Off Path:
Whenever the chauffeur accepts a student ride request, there comes a scenario where a single destination may contain multiple routes to reach. It was quite challenging for the chauffeur to find out numerous pickups and drop-off location path. Our developers managed this scenario by using Google API Waypoints. Using Waypoints, the chauffeur can get the course of multiple pickups and drop-off locations more easily.
3. Payment Gateway Integration:
To carry out the payment procedure, the client insisted on integrating the "Worldpay" payment gateway. It was challenging to integrate payment gateway due to its high level of complexity and customization. Our strong back-end team implemented a payment gateway with in-depth research and analysis as per the client's custom requirement.
