Long before food delivery became ubiquitous, our team identified a crucial gap in our local market of Dibrugarh. This is the story of Foodabba — our venture into e-commerce that showcased our capabilities and our local-first mindset.
Identifying a local need
Back in 2018, ordering from favourite local restaurants with a single tap was a concept largely confined to metro cities. For the people of Dibrugarh, the process was still traditional. We saw an opportunity to use our software skills to bring a modern convenience to our community — connecting hungry customers with the best local eateries.
Building the solution from scratch
Foodabba was a full-fledged in-house project, developed by the same minds that built our College ERP systems. We created a user-friendly Android application built around four essentials:
Browse
Menus from a curated list of the best local restaurants, all in one place.
Order
A seamless ordering flow that takes just a few taps from craving to checkout.
Pay
Secure checkout with a range of digital payment methods built in.
Track
Real-time order tracking, all the way to the customer's doorstep.
It was a testament to our ability to build, deploy and manage a complete e-commerce ecosystem — from the customer-facing interface to the backend logistics.
Foodabba was our proof-of-concept for the local e-commerce market. The experience we gained directly informs the powerful, scalable e-commerce platforms we build for clients today.
Legacy and impact
While our primary focus remains transforming the educational sector, Foodabba was a significant milestone. It demonstrated our agile development capabilities and our commitment to solving local challenges with technology. The lessons learned in user experience, payment-gateway integration and logistics management continue to enrich the e-commerce solutions we offer today.
