The Corporate Scissors
It encorporates an ecommerce website with the barber saloon and with some modifications. We are basically retailing the services of a barber on an online platform.
The problem The Corporate Scissors solves
The main goal of our project is to ensure the smooth sailing and convenient procedure for the queue in the barber shop.
We know the it is really bothersome to wait for queue in barber shop, so we integrated ecommerce to solve this problem and we took the barber shops to an online platform, right now currently in production a bit.
The project aims to address the issue of waiting in queues at barber shops by providing a convenient online platform for customers to book their appointments in advance. By integrating an e-commerce system, customers can browse through different barber shops, view their services and prices, and book their preferred date and time slot without having to physically visit the shop or call to book.
The online platform enables customers to select their preferred barber, view their availability and schedule, and choose from a range of services offered by the shop. This saves customers time and effort while also providing them with greater flexibility and control over their appointment scheduling.
Additionally, the platform also benefits barber shops by streamlining their appointment booking process, reducing the workload of the staff, and allowing them to better manage their time and resources. With the system in place, barber shops can improve their overall efficiency, increase their customer base, and ultimately grow their business.
Currently in production, the platform is being designed to be user-friendly, secure, and reliable. It will also offer a range of payment options to provide customers with a hassle-free booking experience. With the integration of e-commerce, the project seeks to revolutionize the traditional barber shop experience by providing a modern and convenient solution that benefits both customers and businesses alike.
Challenges we ran into
While building this project, we encountered a specific bug related to the booking system. There were instances where customers were able to book the same time slot with different barbers, which would cause conflicts and confusion for both the customer and the barbers involved.
To overcome this hurdle, we implemented a validation system that checks for conflicting bookings before confirming any appointment. This involved creating a database to store all the booking information and using an algorithm to compare the date, time, and barber availability to ensure that no double bookings occur. Additionally, we added a feature that automatically notifies the customer and the barber in case of any changes or cancellations to their booking.
Overall, our team was able to overcome this bug by closely examining the issue and developing a solution that addressed the root cause. By implementing this validation system, we were able to ensure a seamless and stress-free booking process for both customers and barbers.
