My Food Bag reimagined, just in time for Christmas.
Problem
My Food Bag needed to rapidly expand their digital commerce capabilities beyond their subscription model. The challenge wasn't just building an e-commerce platform – it was creating an integrated experience that worked seamlessly across web and mobile platforms, while maintaining real-time inventory synchronisation with their ERP system. And with Christmas approaching, we needed to do it fast.
Solution
We built a headless commerce solution using BigCommerce's API-first platform. The mobile apps were developed using Expo's React Native framework, allowing us to maintain a single codebase for iOS and Android while delivering native performance. We implemented a robust payment gateway supporting multiple methods and built a real-time inventory management system that keeps stock levels accurate across all channels.
Results
The My Food Bag Shop platform launched in 12 weeks, handling thousands of transactions from day one. The single codebase approach reduced development time by 40% while maintaining native app performance. Backend integration with their ERP system ensures inventory accuracy within 30 seconds across all channels.
