Team 16 – Home Re:Stock

Description:

 Home Re:Stock is a kickstarter project that is in need of software developers to create a robust and scalable backend server, as well as a visually appealing mobile application to interface with its current prototype device. The goal of Home Re:Stock is to provide users a more calculated and efficient means to keep their home stocked with necessary goods. The user will place a variety of affordable sensors around their homes, then register those sensors with the mobile application developed by this group. This application will communicate with the sensors through a backend server and allow the user to monitor and replenish goods in their home based on their specified preferences. Not only will this allow consumers more time to spend in meaningful ways, this could also provide a solution for those with disabilities to obtain their necessities in a more independent manner.

Although Home Re:Stock has provided us with a prototype sensor device, it will be our job as developers to try and improve the physical hardware, as well as write all of the software required to make the Home Re:Stock ecosystem fully functional. We will strive to utilize paradigms that offer the user consistent service, smooth and logical functionality, and persistence across multiple users and devices. With these points in mind, our overall goal is to deliver all of the required software that will help move Home Re:Stock out of its development phase and into production.
