Rapid development of hubavet's veterinary digital platform
Hubavet is a pioneering venture in the veterinary industry, aiming to provide seamless digital solutions for both veterinarians and pet owners. The platform is designed to facilitate efficient and effective communication and service delivery between vets and pet owners through an integrated system that includes video calls, payment processing, and pet management functionalities.
Challenge
The primary challenge faced by the Hubavet team was the technical complexity and the tight deadline for developing a comprehensive system that included multiple advanced features. The project had to accommodate functionalities for both veterinarians and pet owners, with specific requirements:
- Veterinarians needed a web-based platform to manage their schedules and conduct video consultations.
- Pet owners required a mobile app to book appointments, manage pet information, and access veterinary services on-the-go.
Additionally, the entire system had to be built from scratch and ready for presentation at an upcoming veterinary congress, a critical opportunity for the client to attract investors.
Solution
Given the complexity and the tight timeline, our team took on the technical challenge with a strategic approach:
- We chose cutting-edge technologies to expedite development and ensure high performance: TypeScript with Next.js for the web application, providing a robust and scalable foundatio, and React Native for the mobile app, enabling rapid development and seamless cross-platform functionality.
- To facilitate real-time video consultations, we integrated the 100ms service, ensuring reliable and high-quality video communication between veterinarians and pet owners.
- We utilized Supabase for database management and real-time communication, allowing pet owners to request immediate video calls with available veterinarians and manage pet-related data efficiently.
Outcome
In just two months, we successfully developed and launched the first version of the Hubavet system, which included both the web application for veterinarians and the mobile app for pet owners. This rapid development cycle was crucial for the client's goals, enabling vets to configure their available hours, manage appointments, and conduct video consultations, and pet owners to book appointments, manage pet information, and access immediate veterinary services via video call.
The outcome was a fully functional, user-friendly system that met the client's expectations in terms of both quality and delivery time. The rapid development and deployment of Hubavet's system allowed the client to present a robust and innovative solution for potential investors and stakeholders. The project demonstrated the effectiveness of using advanced technologies and agile development practices to deliver high-quality results within a tight timeframe.
The success of the initial launch paved the way for further enhancements and the potential for significant growth and investment in the Hubavet platform.
