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.

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.

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.

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.
