The client asked us to design and develop a website that will work as a platform for businesses to add various deals for their customers. And he also asked us to develop a mobile app that will run on iPhone and Android platform to help the users avail those deals.
SWEEPiO is a free app that connects a user with cool promotions going on around their current place. The app gives a heads up with push notifications to enter a promotion. A user just needs to simply check-in with the app, while in his favorite store or venue and the app will show the deals available for that particular venue.
Introduction:
