Client
Meet Avani Solutions, the UK’s go-to savior for maximizing the quality of beer sales, whether you're a solo pub owner or part of a club chain. Their motto, "Raising the bar on beer quality," is more than just words—it's a commitment to ensuring that every pint poured meets the highest standards of taste and freshness, keeping customers happy and bars bustling.
Challenge
For the Avani crew, the work doesn't end when they step into a venue. It kicks into gear as they navigate through a maze of checks—from beer line hygiene and temperature to glassware conditions and cellar inspections. Technicians face the daunting task of ensuring every aspect of beer dispensing equipment meets stringent standards. The process is complicated, tedious, and can be resource-intensive without the right tools. Recording findings was another feat in itself, especially when working in dark spaces or areas with poor connectivity. This was where Avani's existing solution, lacking depth and dexterity, needed an overhaul.
When the call came to Looming Tech to step in, we knew a deep dive was required, beginning with a full audit and analysis of the existing system. Our game plan? Develop a sophisticated, user-friendly app paired with a robust administration platform that could handle all the nuances of the beer-serving business.
Team
It was all hands on deck: a full-stack senior and iOS developer bridged the gap in the initial phase. In the comprehensive rework, we welcomed a tech lead, AWS consultant, project manager acquainted with Avani's intricacies, a front-end developer, a UX/UI designer, and a dedicated full-stack developer. Avani also partnered with a marketing agency to align corporate design, while their business manager—an insider to the beer industry's core—provided invaluable insights.
Tech Stack
Database: Postgres, AWS RDS
API: NodeJS, AWS Amplify
Admin: React/TS, AWS Amplify
iOS App: Swift, AWS Amplify
How we rolled
Mobile App Transformation: We crafted a mobile interface built with technicians in mind. Bright screens and large buttons illuminate dark crawl spaces, while offline capabilities ensure technicians aren’t stranded without access to essential audit tools. Once the visit is complete, a simple summary screen allows technicians to sign off, handing over a detailed report to the venue manager.
Comprehensive Admin System: The new administration platform is nothing short of a control center, enabling detailed data entries for users, venues, equipment setups, and more. Unlike its predecessor, which only identified the beer type, our platform offers a thorough product catalog with 27 different properties. These details guide and validate technician checks for accuracy and compliance.
Outcome and impact
The revamped system is not just a technological triumph but a business win. Technicians now benefit from seamless tools that simplify their workflows. Venue managers receive precise reports, eliminating guesswork from maintenance. Clients are treated to a breathtaking new interface packed with rich dashboards that track visits, manage faults, and control users with flair.
For Avani, the impact is profound—streamlined operations, elevated service standards, and a more impressive market presence, fulfilling their promise of quality and operational excellence every step of the way. Through innovation and collaboration, the future of beer sales in the UK looks brighter, more efficient, and more flavorful than ever. 🍻
