Famooshed is an online marketplace that connects local shoppers with independent food producers, farmers, bakers, butchers, and more. Mobilions built a cross-platform app where shoppers search by geolocation, see local merchants by food type, and order directly from each merchant's online store.
A summary of the product and Mobilions' role.
Famooshed is an online market that partners with local independent food producers — farmers, dairies, growers, distillers, brewers, fishermen, bakers, butchers, and allotment gardeners — to give them a platform to sell their produce directly to the local community.
Mobilions built the cross-platform app for iOS and Android. The marketplace lets local shoppers search for products by their geolocation, displays local merchants by food type, and lets shoppers order online directly from each merchant's online store.
The app is aimed at community-based local food buying in the UK, connecting nearby producers with nearby shoppers.

The work Mobilions delivered for this build.
The core technologies typical of an app of this kind.
The problems an app like this must solve.
Independent local food producers often lack a shared channel to reach nearby shoppers, and shoppers have no single place to find local produce. The product needed to bring many independent merchants into one marketplace and connect them with shoppers in their immediate area.
A geolocation marketplace must determine a shopper's location, surface nearby merchants filtered by food type, and route orders to the correct merchant's store — across both iOS and Android, with many independent merchants and catalogs in a single app.
How a build like this is approached.
Information not available in source documents.
A marketplace app pairs a cross-platform client with backend services that hold merchants, catalogs, and orders, and uses geolocation services to rank and filter merchants by proximity and food type.
Information not available in source documents.
The notable technical choices behind the build.
Discovery is built around the shopper's geolocation, so the app surfaces local merchants by food type rather than a generic catalog. Location is the primary filter for what a shopper sees.
The app aggregates many independent producers into one marketplace, with each merchant maintaining its own online store that shoppers order from directly.
Building cross-platform reaches both iOS and Android shoppers from a single codebase, fitting a community marketplace where reach matters.
Why the technology choices fit this product.
Geolocation services are the natural fit for a proximity-based marketplace, and a cross-platform framework reaches both app stores from one codebase, which suits a community product that needs broad local reach.
