The challenge for Empresa was to create a bespoke connected mobile application, primarily to be used across smartphones and tablets, which would enable customers of Knight Meats to purchase meat supplies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year, allowing orders to be generated at a time of the day to suit their clients.
Knight Meats wanted to be able to manage pricing plans and customer discounting models through their existing accountancy software, and therefore the application was developed to have a synchronisation capability included. This meant prices and discounts are then automatically and regularly updated from the central system and require no extra effort from the staff in doing so. It was decided that the application would work only in a
connected manner, ensuring prices are always current and would then also not rely upon the user of the device carrying out regular downloads and updates.
The application is now in regular use across mobile and desktop devices to create and manage orders, and to easily copy previous orders when needing to re-stock.
