Custom On-demand Delivery App Development
We have designed and developed one of the best on-demand delivery apps for Toronto residents, enabling them to order any product from grocery to snacks, electronics to pharmacy products, and other day-to-day items.
Abstract of On-Demand Delivery App Solution
We have developed an online delivery platform, where residents of Toronto can purchase different products like groceries, food & drinks, tobacco, medicine, pet care items, and other personalized gift items and get them delivered at their doorstep. Using this delivery services app, users will get any listed product or gift item within 45 to 60 minutes at their home, office, or anywhere as per their convenience.
This on-demand delivery app accepts a special request for customized gift items, products, and flowers that users can send to someone special in Toronto. Apart from this, users can order care packages, seasonal gift items, and requests for a card and gift wrapping while checking out. In short, we developed this online platform as a one-stop solution for the daily needs of Toronto residents.
Our Client and His Requirements
Based in Toronto, Canada, our client wanted to develop one such online platform, where users can find all the daily needs products like grocery items, food & drinks, medicine, pet care products, gift items, and seasonal gift products. He had the vision to bring retailers and customers one step closer by making their lives easier and faster.
Therefore, he started looking for the best mobile app development company on the Upwork platform (a platform that connects businesses and professionals). Landing on our Upwork profile, he was amazed as we have already developed over 40 on-demand apps for different categories.
Instantly, he contacted us through Upwork and discussed his requirements with one of our sales representatives. With extensive experience in developing such on-demand delivery apps, our sales representative instantly understood his business and requirements.
So, we suggested developing an on-demand delivery app solution for Android, iOS, and web, making it easier for Toronto residents to purchase any listed product from the comfort of their home.

Future Feature Update for On-Demand App
These features are planned to be updated in our client’s on-demand delivery apps genre. Our app developers have come up with the following integrations that can make the mobile app a more convenient and successful online business model like Instacart, Postmate, UberEats, GrubHub.
Geofencing Detection For Drivers
This feature notifies the customer when the service provider comes in the desired area or the user’s current location. Such push notifications will update the online users about their parcel or if any other courier service to be made. The geofencing helps in notifying the accurate in-out of service providers in a location, which results in systematic logistics for both, the business and the customer. The delivery companies can also find loopholes by such in-app functionality.
Edit Cart Before Delivery
This integration is helpful for both the customer app and driver or shopper app. It allows the delivery guy or user himself to edit the grocery shopping list or product list according to the availability in the store. They can edit the list by product alternative, type, number of available quantity, cost, or even delete the product. Also, add some description by making the purchase for a detailed shopping experience.
AI Chatbot With Multilingual Functionality
For better communication and user experience, you should integrate chatbots. These help in the decision making process of online users. For instance, if a shopper is stuck while shopping in the mart regarding a particular item, he can easily ask his query and buy it quickly. In the same way, if the deliverer is stuck in the area, and is not able to find the user’s destination he can message him for contact information, house address, and get done with the delivery. For more advantages, the messaging feature will have a multilingual functioning for no language barrier.
Social Media Integration
This is an advantage for an online business to create its own niche online via its loyal users. It creates awareness among others about the mobile app and opens more opportunities to increase the user base as well as the workforce. The in-app users can share their experience through the account or profiles created in the delivery model directly to their social media handlers.
Rate The Service
This feature creates transparency with the users. It can provide better customer support once you get to know the reviews, ratings, recommendations, and feedback about the app’s functioning. The users can share their opinions freely and also pin-point some of the not so pleasing factors of the app. This works as an opportunity for your business to update the features according to the online user’s convenience.
Advanced Admin Analytics
Your business needs useful reports that can help you decide how good your company is. A successful analytics framework would allow you to closely track and gauge your existing plans, and allow you to see where you can adapt and make changes. With advanced admin analytics that is optimized to your company’s needs, you can access a suite of interactive reports that are focused on your inventory, order, and customer details.

Defining the Delivery App Design
When it comes to creating a seamless online delivery app, it was a task for us to synchronize the backend to go hand-in-hand with the design.
UI/UX plays a very important role when it comes to making intuitive app design. Our experienced app developers came with a navigational in-app design.
We came up with a descriptive box for each product and a search bar for a better user experience. The placement of icons and trigger buttons were effectively after studying the consumer demographics.

Challenges We Faced While Developing This On-Demand Delivery Solution
As we have already mentioned that we have developed over 40 on-demand delivery apps for varied businesses, so we have extensive experience in this type of app development.
Therefore, we did not face any major challenge while developing this app except one. Yes, we faced only one challenge during this project. And that challenge was – Apple Pay via Moneris.
Moneris is Canada’s largest financial technology company, specializing in payment processing. We faced an issue while integrating this payment processing solution along with Apple Pay as we were not much aware of Moneris payment processing solution.
However, we resolved this issue within 3 to 4 days as assigned iOS developer, who has over 4 years of experience in iOS app development, learnt Moneris SDK and then implemented it as per our client’s requirement. Our developer also communicated with Moneris customer support via Email and Call and discussed issues that she was facing.
