Challenge

Merci Alfonce, a local player in Corsica’s food delivery market, saw an opportunity to fill a significant gap left by major platforms like Uber Eats and Deliveroo, whose coverage in the region was sparse. They wanted to build a mobile app tailored to the unique needs of Corsican customers and businesses, prioritizing regional cuisine, eco-friendly delivery practices, and seamless user experience. With only two months to launch, Merci Alfonce needed a partner to transform their vision into a fully functional and competitive product—fast.

Solution

Player One Labs brought their expertise in product design, development, and project management to the table, focusing on speed and quality.

  • Product Development Sprint: We used an agile approach, working in 2-week sprints to deliver a prototype within the first month.
  • Localization at Its Core: The app was designed to feature Corsican restaurants prominently, highlighting their unique offerings and cultural roots.
  • Tech Stack: FlutterFlow was chosen for its rapid development capabilities, enabling seamless cross-platform deployment. A robust backend supported by AWS ensured scalability for future growth.
  • User-Centric Design: Our UX/UI team crafted an intuitive interface optimized for both customers and delivery partners, ensuring efficiency and ease of use.
  • Integrated Payment & Logistics: Payment gateways and real-time delivery tracking systems were integrated for a modern, seamless experience.

Results

Merci Alfonce launched their mobile app in Corsica on schedule, just two months after starting the project. The results speak for themselves:

  • 100+ restaurants before the launch
  • Featured on Corse Matin
  • Filled a huge gap in the market
