Challenges Faced

1. Real-Time Inventory Synchronization: Maintaining accurate inventory data across multiple customer orders was a challenge. We implemented optimized database queries and caching strategies to ensure up-to-date stock information.
2. Scalability Concerns: During peak sales events, the platform needed to handle high traffic. Using AWS Auto Scaling and load balancing resolved potential bottlenecks.
3. User Authentication: Ensuring a smooth yet secure login flow was critical. We overcame this by integrating JWT-based authentication with session management, minimizing downtime and errors.
4. Custom Feature Requests: The client wanted unique features, such as recipe recommendations based on cart items. Implementing these features required thoughtful design and modular architecture.
5. Delivery Slot Management: To streamline the grocery delivery process, we had to integrate a dynamic slot management system to handle area-specific delivery schedules.

Key Features

1. User-Friendly Interface: A visually appealing and intuitive design ensures customers can easily navigate through product categories.
2. Advanced Search and Filters: Customers can quickly find products using keywords, categories, and detailed filters such as price, brand, and offers.
3. Wishlist and Favorites: Save items for future purchases, enhancing user retention.
4. Order Tracking: Real-time tracking of orders from placement to doorstep delivery.
5. Admin Dashboard: The vendor can manage products, view analytics, and handle customer inquiries efficiently through a comprehensive admin panel.
6. Recipe Suggestions: Curated recipe ideas based on items in the customer’s cart, adding extra value to their shopping experience.
