Inspiration

It is rare to find yourself going into a supermarket just to check on what offers you can jump on, its usually only a matter of luck but with a chrome extension, you can plan and budget yourself since you will know when, where and how long the offer you are interested in will last.

What it does

The google chrome extension pops up offers posted by supermarkets indicating the duration of the offer and giving users the option to check all the instances of the supermarket with the offer. This way users can select the nearest supermarket, plan accordingly and visit the supermarket when it's most convenient for them.

How we built it

The project depends greatly on PHP which helps to save and retrieve data from the database, Javascript comes in when creating the pop-ups on the browser alongside HTML and CSS for the design and styling of the same as well as the web pages for the supermarkets and administrators.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the googel maps to work as expected which was to show routes to all the supermarket brunches. Lack of gmuch guidance and reference material.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The categories are updates autimatically when an item is added with a new category that is not already in th ecategory list. The chrom extension pops up when clicked. Users can view reports that update automatically when any changes occur in the concerned tables.

What we learned

How to develop a google chrome extension. How to create pop ups on chrome without directly using php. Improved query writing.

What's next for Google chrome extension for brand promotion alerts

Improve google maps and incorporate better alerts.
