Richard Thomas, a dedicated pet lover, was driven to address the staggering reality of millions of animals entering shelters each year, with around 920,000 pets being euthanized annually. His struggle to find a pet online revealed a gap in the market, inspiring him to partner with NewAgeSysIT to create a digital platform that simplifies pet adoption and gives these animals a second chance at finding loving homes. In addition to his passion for animal welfare, Richard also aimed to generate revenue through this venture, ensuring the app’s sustainability and growth.
Initially, we implemented in-app purchases as the payment gateway within the app. However, the client later requested a website, requiring a switch to the Stripe payment gateway for both platforms. This change demanded a significant rework of the app and web interfaces to ensure seamless Stripe integration. Despite the complexity, we successfully managed the transition, delivering a smooth and consistent user experience across both platforms.
Integrating analytics for Facebook and Firebase required a tailored approach, as each app event needed specific tracking mechanisms. Our team built and tested these integrations to ensure accurate data collection and insights.
During the testing phase in a sandbox environment, we encountered issues with Google Ads not functioning as expected. However, once deployed in the live environment, the ads worked correctly.
The inclusion of a wide range of pet filters posed a significant challenge, impacting the app's performance due to the increased number of fields. Despite this, our team effectively optimized the app, ensuring it could handle the complexity without sacrificing performance.
