Work For Home challenges and how we overcome the same
Communication between humans is already hard enough face-to-face, but it’s much harder when working from home. People normally rely on non-verbal communication. This is why communicating effectively is one of the most common challenges we face when working from home.
We coped up with the situation after settling all team leaders and asked them to organize regular meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page. We considered having an open-door policy so our team can approach TL’s to ask questions related to their work or role.
Challenges came but we were dealing with them, however, we were defeated by our special technical expertise.
- User experience is very important for us and with the over saturation of the market, users know what they like and what they don’t, so we have designed the website in a way that is user-friendly.
- Choosing the right tech stack that aligns with the problems which we are trying to solve. We only considered the tech stack is widely used in the industry. With industry-standard tech stacks, We have a large pool of skilled developers to draw from for the initial build to the final launch stage.
- App security is always the biggest challenge in developing applications. No matter what, we always included security throughout the development cycle.
- Speed is definitely a ranking factor for us on the website and mobile application because it will have loads of traffic and data on it. We always thought about the performance before developing the final product. So we kept the website speed in mind on priority to load faster.
- The biggest challenge for us was to manage the calculation process of different categories in laundry services.
- Graph SQL Architecture is being used for the Database query.
- Booking Date Change request for the user is not available, it can only be done by the merchants only if they accept or reject the booking.
