The Challenge
is an advanced purchasing solution provider dedicated to helping pharmacy professionals manage orders from multiple vendors and inventories through a single interface since 2002. Headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, they have helped 5,000 clients nationwide enhance operational efficiency, maintain compliance, and save 2 to 5% on goods annually.
The iOS store announced the requirement of the minimum specific SDK version for the builds but the latest stable version of Flutter SDK was not compatible with these libraries.
The unverified packages created obstacles when upgrading the Flutter and iOS SDKs to their latest versions, which risked the removal of the mobile application from the iOS store.
Our Solution
Programmers.ai addressed the client's challenges with an apt solution in just 2 months.
Roadmap Creation
The Programmers.ai team reviewed the code thoroughly to identify dependencies on unverified packages and provided a rough estimate for their replacement, ensuring a clear roadmap for implementation.
Data Layer Refactoring
They refactored the data layer using the Dart language and replaced Flutter's recommended routes navigation library with an old blocker library to upgrade them in the future without relying on third-party dependencies.
Dependency Upgradation
The team updated all the project dependencies and SDKs to their latest stable versions for ensuring compatibility with Android and iOS app store requirements and improving the overall application reliability.
Codebase Remodification
The Programmers.ai team optimized the application codebase with maintainable and reusable code blocks to enhance app performance, decrease build size, and reduce technical debt for future upgrades.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration
They implemented GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automate build testing and sharing processes, ensuring a faster application development lifecycle and improved efficiency of the mobile application.
QA and Testing
The team conducted comprehensive testing and debugging to ensure a stable build, which was successfully released to iOS stores. They also initiated unit and UI tests for long-term application reliability.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.
Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.
I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
