An app that serves as a database and inventory management system for the Aggie Reuse store while also helping donors and "customers" of the store streamline the entire process.
Inspiration - The prompt sounded like a very important and obvious problem. We were flooded by ideas of how we could help the store but this app is what we finally settled on.
What it does - Lets donors upload photos of their donations before hand, reducing the workload of volunteers, while also advertising the clothes available at the thrift store. At the same time, it also helps the store keep track of their inventory easily.
How we built it - We used Figma to design the app. Then, we made the app in Android Studio with Java, while using MongoDB Atlas to manage the database of the inventory.
Challenges we ran into - MongoDB and Figma were both completely new concepts to us. We also took a long time to finalise upon an idea. Our project was a big race against time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of - Learning two new technologies while also connecting front end to the back end database in a relatively low amount of time is something we are very proud of.
What we learned - Figma, MongoDB Atlas, and inventory management and tracking. Also gained further insights into front-end design.
What's next for Aggie Reuse Database App - Making it more efficient, and building a database strong enough for expanding the store.
