79-Jam Produce

Inspiration

In Jamaica, there's always been a big issue of supply chain management, especially when it comes to food. It feels like every other month, there's news about either a massive shortage or surplus (see the February/March Tomato Crisis). Due to this, we wanted to make an app that encourages users and retailers to make the best use of the food that they can.

What it does

Our product is a mobile app that gives its users access to the best data you can get on the Jamaican Agricultural Market, from weekly prices to future speculations made with Machine Learning. To make it even more fun, we provide users with fun recipes to make from their groceries.

How we built it

Backend: Azure, C#, ASP.NET Frontend: Flutter

Challenges we ran into

Frontend is very hard. We're good at making systems, but we had no idea on how to make it look as good as we imagined.

We also found it hard to find and prepare all the relevant information, but we're thankful that one of our team members had previous experience in the Agri-Tech sector

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we came out and did our best. It was a new experience for all of us- spending a full 24 hours working together at one goal, and we're glad that we made it out on the other side as better developers and better people.
