Splendid Spoon is a souping delivery company from New York, and they offer weekly plant-based vegan & gluten-free subscription programs. They were growing fast, with some glowing appearances on Business Insider and Cool Hunt, and needed new features to make their platform more personal for each user, and that automated some of their delivery processes.

Such features weren't possible with the turnkey marketplace they were using. So they contacted us to develop a custom system, 100% tailored to their needs. This is one of our most requested services due to our expertise on building MVPs and software products. That allows us to not only act as a development team, but to bring business insights to the project as well.

The first big challenge we tackled was the user’s account section, because of the heavy business logic it had to accommodate. When building products like this, we establish steady communication channels with our clients, and work with an open scope. This allows the product team to learn along the journey, change course and iterate based on user feedback.

For the front-end, we used Bootstrap 4, SASS, and React accompanied by a Django back-end using Stripe for money transfers and payments, always updating our stack to the latest and more stable version. We also provided a Google Tag Manager and Analytics consultancy. One feature we are very proud of is the testing system we developed to test some very date-dependent features on the server. We froze the server time and allowed operation managers to control it via Admin. We also organized a testing script that aggregated value to the client (anyone who wants to test the code will find our script already calibrated for the nuances of date-related problems). This script was also incorporated in our process for future testing on the subject.
