The University of North Alabama, one of the top universities in the USA, is known for producing exceptional U.S. Students. Apart from its world-class education programs, the University of North Alabama also offers great jobs to its students. The purpose of the UNA Job Portal mobile application was to serve as a platform that helps student find the right job and kick-start their career confidently
Introduction
The university was looking to turn their career page into a mobile app that granted easy access to job seekers and hiring professionals, bringing them together. The platform was designed to help the students to connect with organizations for a job. With a simple yet intuitive interface, the students would be able to skim through numerous job opportunities to find the perfect match as per their expertise or preferences. Our client’s brief helped us in creating a strategic roadmap to commence the designing and development of the UNA mobile app.
The Idea Behind
Save & Win App
The basic concept behind the creation of this type of software application is to provide users an opportunity to compare different products’ prices and features accessible in the mainstream markets.
With this project, consumers could easily purchase products as per their desire and budget. Plus, this project enables users to find the best deals on the products they intend to buy and save money.
Finding the perfect job right after graduating is a long-running dilemma. Fresh graduates experience difficulty in getting hired for a job without experience. Therefore, it becomes difficult to survive in the growing economy to lead a stable life. People with job experience have famous platforms like LinkedIn to connect with hiring professionals and find jobs. Still, it’s seldom for a fresh graduate to start their career quickly after completing their degree.
Challenges & Solutions
One of the obstacles we encountered during the development of this project was that the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of the product stores to extract data were not accessible.
To overcome this issue, we developed an efficient web scraper that can easily extract data from the stores directly. Additionally, we have incorporated a monitor that provides us with an alert if anything changes in the stores in terms of data, so that we can modify it accordingly.
Moreover, we employ automated scraping tools to acquire different products’ data and prices from different stores.
App Features
This price comparison app features an intuitive interface to track user spending and savings and allows users to redeem rewards they have earned. Besides, the app also offers discounts, promotions, and prizes to incentivize users to save more.
Moreover, it also offers the ability to earn points, cashback, and other rewards through loyalty programs, referrals, and by externally sharing the app. Furthermore, it also features website links for redirecting, so that the users can search, filter, sort, and purchase their favorite products.
The Client Had?
An idea to provide a solution that can minimize the human effort of researching the lowest prices by visiting stores separately.
The Results
The end result of this application is an intuitive design, a user-friendly mobile application that enables online shoppers to compare and contrast distinct products’ features and prices and shop for their favorite products hassle-free.
Due to the building of this application, users don’t need to visit stores separately to buy their favorite products/goods. To sum up, the purpose of this application is to provide users with a seamless shopping experience in one place without any hassle.
