The rapid expansion of the MunaEggsPress business has caused the need for a presence online and a booking system to facilitate the management of the logistics behind the delivery of goods and to provide sales points in advance as available options to customers.
As a result, this thesis aim to provide a part of the solution to the booking system for the sales point locations, a login alternative, and messaging modules using third-party APIs approach. Previously, the business essentially used Facebook as way to communicate with their customers and to inform their next sales points. Some customers were active on the social media and some not. Ignoring a group that does not use social media would result in a huge loss for the growing business so this thesis tackles these issues in three steps.
First, the purpose was to create a website for the business to interact with their customers, which in this case means a frontend and backend application. This directly provides an alternative to the social media the company long relied on.
Second, another purpose was to provide a solid location system using the Google Maps API and geocoding including a database structure that handles all information and data that should be manipulated and made available to the public.
Third, the final goal was to implement an alternative login system using the Facebook API and to implement the Multisender API for text messaging.
The combination of the named third party APIs resulted in a mash-up application that takes advantage of powerful tools available to developers to provide quality services to the client.
