Step Three: Determine the characteristics of the application and business model
Now that you have a comprehensive idea of the competing applications and the personality of the customer, you can start crystallizing the details of the application to enter the stages of its creation. What you should know is that delivery applications have a specific business model, which includes several types of applications that complement each other to make a delivery request, and through which users and the work team are defined:
Consumer application: It is the application directed to customers, through which they can order and receive.
Merchant Application: It is the application for commercial activity through which products are added and updated, in addition to following up on delivery requests. The powers of the users of this application are divided. For example, the authority of the staff does not exceed the review of requests to prepare them, while the authority of the manager reaches to add and delete users.
Delivery representative application: Through it, the delivery person can see the details and addresses of orders in order to deliver them to customers on the specified date.
If the type of your application is for delivering parcels to several stores, a special application must be available to manage stores and follow up on delivery personnel, and the merchant application does not go beyond adding packages and products.
After selecting the right ones for your type of business, define the characteristics of each category, based on your audience requirements and application goals. And choose the main sections of the application to start the next stage.
Fourth step: designing application interfaces
Application design takes care of defining the final look, feel, and structure of your application. It is an essential stage that affects the user's impression, and it is divided into two main parts:
User Experience Design
User experience means how they accomplish the tasks of the application, and the ease and smoothness of doing so. The designer defines exactly what the interfaces are and their content, and explains the way in which the user will navigate between the interfaces. The nature of the customer and the usability of the application is in his sights all the time.
