Client Overview:
A tech-driven startup aimed to simplify the process of returning lost drones by leveraging QR codes and automated payment processing. The solution required a seamless website and mobile integration that would allow finders to return drones by scanning a QR code, verifying ownership, and receiving a pre-determined reward upon successful return.

 

Challenge:
The client encountered several key challenges in bringing this idea to life:

  • – Ensuring a seamless and secure process for finders to return drones to their rightful owners.
