Team Loyalty has started their prototyping for the Bealls App and made a new iteration of our logo!

We have had team discussions about our logo and with the help of the teams channel, we have come up with a new team logo. We want to incorporate our main objective of our project, which is a loyalty app. We blended together the app icon and our name to make a sleek and simple design.

Our team has had productive meetings with our liaison and coach. We have begun prototyping our apps pages and the flow of it from the user perspective. The image shown above is just one page. We have made several pages such as home page, profile, settings, shopping, chatbot, checkout, history, favorite items, and rewards tracker. Our prototyping is an ongoing process that is going to be constantly updated and fine tuned to our liaisons liking. We are excited to see how each stage of our prototyping will keep growing.

As we head into next week, we are ecstatic to keep working on our prototypes, keeping a note of our timeline, and doing research on the best technologies our apps needs. 

We welcome you to keep tabs on our journey of our app!

This week we had the pleasure of meeting with our project liaison Connie Uriarte. In this meeting we were able to iron some things out and understand what the main goals and objectives are for this project. We also discussed our next steps for the project so we can strive for success.

We are in the process of confirming times for weekly meetings with our coach and liaison. We can’t wait to take the next big step for the project.

Keep tuning in for updates!

Welcome to our first ever blog post! We are excited to work with our coach, Dr. Ashish Aggarwal, and our team’s sponsor, Bealls, this year. Our project is about creating and designing a mobile application that offers real-time shopping and personalized loyalty rewards. What makes our app stand out is its ability to enhance customer engagement through personalized experiences and recommendations with AI. 

This week, our team was formed and had the opportunity to meet each other. We started to define key objectives and the scope for our project. In the upcoming days, we will be meeting with our coach and liaison, as well as deciding on our team name and logo, and determining responsibilities within our team. Tune in to our weekly posts to keep up with our project progress.
