For Trondheim clients we usually begin with launch & iterate (production launch and weekly releases) and discovery sprint, then add ux prototype and multi-tenant core. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.
On-Demand Delivery App for Trondheim
An on-demand delivery app connects customers, stores or restaurants, and couriers in real time. For Trondheim clients we usually begin with dispatch engine (auto-assignment and batching) and admin panel, then add payments and customer app. Typical first release: 12–18 weeks.
