Handling GPS Complexities, building scalable B2C Apps & merchant management platform is key to the success of such platform
When you need a software platform that runs on Nearby business discovery, it becomes critical to handle the nitty-gritty of GPS on phone and Google Map APIs. Handling this requires good experience on Google MAPS, understanding GPS settings on the phone as well as using 3rd party libraries to enhance the results. For e.g. location-based apps like Uber, Ola, popular nearby deal apps like NearBy or even Google’s own Nearby search uses this technique for offering a hyperlocal experience.
We have worked on a hyper-local multi-Vendor multi-service B2C app wherein customers are delivered results based on their location proximity and vendors and service providers are listed in result based on their GPS coordinates. This startup even got funded for 1 million USD as an initial fund which proves that the technology which we delivered is stable and investor sees the platform with trust.

Challenges and Solutions in
Nearby (Radius) based B2C Multi-Store App
Merchant Onboarding
From signing up of the merchants through a mobile app by field team to approving their credentials through a web application is what we have delivered. Merchant Onboarding was handled with a separate app given to the field officer. Through the field app available with the sales team KYC Documents were captured along with shop location and then the same was submitted to the centralized reviewing team.
GPS Nitty Gritty
When the core concept of a mobile app depends on nearby (i.e.radius), it is vital that the GPS functionality and Google’s distance calculation APIs are understood well and it works well. GPS functionality always brings its own challenges in the Mobile application but having worked on this well, we as a team are aware of challenges and how to overcome them.
Handling Scale
In a very short span the platform was hosting 2 lakh+ merchants and each merchant having a store with around 35,000 products from standard template store and ordering handling solutions. We make sure that database structure, API structure are designed keeping in mind performance and scale of the application and even the hosting instructure is capable enough to handle seasonal spikes in traffic.
