Why some VIVES students were on the news last week
Did you know that one out of 3 people claim they have a food allergy or modify the family diet because one of the family members is suspected of having a food allergy? Striking numbers! With the help of Delaware Consulting, a number of students developed an app that can make life easier.
If you have a food allergy or food intolerance, you know the struggle of going to the supermarket. Skimming the ingredient lists on the food packages for the forbidden ingredient can be very tedious and time-consuming, without always being conclusive. 6 students of VIVES took up the challenge to make the life of food allergic and intolerant people easier. And it looks like they are on the right track!
With already more than 30 ERP implementations in the food industry in Belgium, the Netherlands and France, we can say we have quite extensive knowledge in the food business. And so it was great Delaware Consulting had the opportunity to work together with these entrepreneurial students. It was fantastic to support the further execution of their innovative concept. Together with the students, we developed the demo application, based on the mockups that were created during the design phase.
The app is still under construction, but as said, a demo version is already available. The app is expected to be available in the app store by the end of April 2016.
