It gives business opportunity to small vendors to increase their business locally, by registering their services in this application. This application is very user friendly, users can easily manage this application and coordinate events through this application. The main aim of this application is to bring everything that is needed to organize an event together i.e., from rentals, decorations, catering to venue. This application has various features such as vendor special offer pages which helps the vendors to promote their offers to the customers. This application will also show the exact location of the vendor, which helps the user to locate any nearby vendors. Chat option with vendors to make a communication between vendor and customer to fulfill any special needs of the customer, Cart option for the users to add the event to the cart before placing the final order. To place the order the users must select the  the exact event date and event time. After placing the order the users will get an immediate notification confirming their order with order details.

This app can be accessed by the users and vendors both. For example, Vendors can use this app to update the menu and offers which they are providing, and the users can use this app to organize events.

 


Project Innovation:

  • Through this project, we have got opportunity to represent our skill and make this app user friendly.
  • Our system runs on Android Studio as we need the virtual device to test the application .
  • For order summary users will get the email to confirm the order with all the details.
  • For the innovation in our app we have linked our app with the social media such as Facebook and Instagram. we have also provided chat feature option in each vendors page for the communication purpose.

Challenges & Solutions:

  • As this is a continuous project, first we have to change the UI integration of the project. as there was height and width was not defined properly, so the application was not viewed properly on the different devices.
  • if the customer buys anything from particular category . For example, customer selected birthday and he wants balloons in blue in 10 quantity , so he selects from the button and add to the cart and it directly connect to the checkout option. in solution we have created add to cart button and one back button so if he wants to shop continue he can do that.
  • As this application has various pages and different sub-category in it, we faced problem in Integrating them with each other.
  • Due the pandemic , we are working virtually , so sometimes we were having problem in coordinating , but we maintained good communication between the team member.
  • For the location services, we used open street map as it is free and easy to access.

Project Results or Progress:

  • We have successfully created an application from which users can virtually connect with vendor and arrange the party.
  • This application  provide vendor and user location for better service.
  • It also has chat option to communicate easily with vendors.
  • We have finally created an application to save people’s time for planning an event which is also economical.

  • By doing this project we have gained knowledge in developing an app, also learnt about the JAVA and Android Studio.
  • Tackled lots of changes in the application which made us learn troubleshooting for practical wireless world.
