Client – The Background

Our client Ronald’s mission is to help Marijuana patients/ patrons locate Dispensaries, CO-OPs, Collectives, Centers, Coffeeshops, Delivery Services, Head Shops and Smoke Shops globally.

Though their focus is on supporting Patients with valuable information, they also provide Dispensaries, Coffee shops, Delivery Services, Head Shops and Smoke Shops a platform to showcase and edit their available services.

Ronald has a complete web-based iDispensaries. AES technologies has assisted him in taking his mission to the next level by making his application mobile.

An iPhone and Android application was developed for iDispensaries to help patients/patrons search for their desired services on the go. With the mobile application it is very useful and easy for the patients to locate their desired service anytime and anywhere.

The user can extend his search limit varying from 1 mile to 25,000 miles. The user can make his search based on city, state, postal-code or by name of the firm.

The Patients/ Patrons not only have access to the locator services but also to an extensive Cannabis resource database.

Challenges and Solutions

The major challenge was to derive accurate search results based on the location of the user. There were issues faced when the system was not able to identify the location. The team worked extensively on the GPS and made sure that the system provides accurate results at any point of time.

The other challenges were understanding the existing system and deriving features that can enhance the available functionality.

The timeline provided was extremely tight and this ad-hoc requirement was somewhat off-track to the regular course of development plan.

The team worked extra hours and over several weekends to successfully meet the client’s time line.
