Projects

Seamless Order Tracking

Overview: Emjay is a web and iOS platform committed to crafting the ultimate cannabis delivery & pickup service in California, prioritizing aligning the product with the needs of both users and the business. As Emjay embarked on this adventure, order tracking optimizations became our top priority. Emjay was mainly a web-based platform, with a partially developed iOS app still in the works without a native order tracking. The Problem: Difficulties in order tracking contribute to a higher reliance on customer support, resulting in elevated operational costs. The Solution: Order tracking for web and iOS, ensuring clear messaging and ability to update order detailsSee More

Beth - SaaS Chat AI

Overview: Saucey has used many third-party AI chat features, one of them is Zowie, and it has never been able to provide a user-friendly experience. With the rise of AI technology, Saucey has begun exploring how it can benefit from these advancements. The Opportunity: Saucey can develop a SaaS product that serves both Saucey and its sister Emjay. This initiative aims to reduce the number of customer service inquiries by supplying valuable data to the available AI, enabling it to generate accurate responses for users. The Solution: Chat feature trained to understand scenarios, respond like a human, and address customer problems based on provided data. Ensure it is easily scalable in the future to evolve into a SaaS.See More
