Developing a React Native app for barcode scanning to streamline berry-picking experience

One of the biggest suppliers of berries in the USA, Wish Farms, is a Florida-based, industry-leading strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry grower with a rich 100-year history. On the mission to deliver the freshest, highest-quality berries year-round, the company employs sustainable farming practices. Their system - an application that lets employees who pick berries and pack them in trays scan barcodes to track the progress in collecting berries. It allowed them to digitalize the process, reduce human mistakes, and collect data to make further business decisions.

Wish Farms hired us to build an application that will improve the berry picking and packing process through barcode scanning. Understanding that weather conditions can vary dramatically, the company needed the application to be fully operational in extreme weather, from the glaring sun to heavy rain. As field workers often wear gloves, all UI elements must be adjusted for easy navigation and interaction, even with gloves on. Plus, given the scale of Wish Farms' operations, the application should be engineered to handle the scanning of hundreds of thousands of codes each day by pickers as well as controllers.

The project management was kept on our side. Budget management, project execution, risk management, and team coordination all fell under the purview of our PMO, which resulted in a smooth development process and the delivery of a solution according to set requirements and market best practices.

We took the project from conception to completion and developed a React Native app from scratch. Our team designed user-friendly and intuitive UI and UX that ensured smooth and efficient app workflow. Additionally, we set up a CI/CD pipeline and all necessary environments to allow future seamless updates and efficient deployment processes.
