Requirements
Tekeya, was in the food delivery business before COVID, however, were unsatisfied with their current online ordering provider, so they started their search for a new digital partner. Customers lacked an intuitive way to order ahead and weren’t a web version available to order too. That’s when Eatance connected with Tekeya. The challenges were very clear; Transform and Uplift the current obsolete platform. The most important part was data migration, to make sure all approx. 50k+ customers with 200+ restaurants are transferred to the new application. Apart from the old system, the required and custom-developed functionality such as Donate Pay functionality requires to be delivered within a month timeline due to the upcoming Ramadan festival.
Solution
Tekeya was launched as per client expectations, right at the starting time of Ramadan Holy Month. The moment Tekeya went live with the new Eatance App, started gaining more attraction and opening web-based version ordering as well. Apart from it soon got recognized as App of the Day by Apple in the Egypt region. Recently Tekeya has crossed over 100k+ downloads. Online ordering and onboarding of the restaurant were streamlined. And as it was Ramadan month so Tekeya introduces a new feature where customers can place the order for donating purposes and can pay online. Tekeya team took the responsibility to deliver the charity/donate order with the help of their own in-house delivery team. Tekeya and Eatance continue enhancing the platform and soon the app will be available in Saudi and Dubai regions.
