Problem
Manual service onboarding was slow, repetitive, and error-prone.
No centralized platform existed to manage salon partnerships, memberships, and service approvals.
Brands lacked data-driven insights for monitoring sales, membership performance, and overall franchise health.
Existing systems weren’t scalable, often breaking as franchise networks expanded.
Solution
I led the development of Vylee Brand as a cross-platform Flutter application that automates salon onboarding, service management, and franchise monitoring powered by AI.
Key solutions included:
AI-Powered Service Scanner: Integrated GPT-4 Vision API to automatically extract salon services (names, prices, categories) from pamphlets and brochures, reducing onboarding time by 90%.
Franchise Dashboard: Built an admin dashboard for real-time analytics on membership plans, sales trends, and branch performance.
Service & Membership Management: Created full CRUD operations for salon services, tiered membership plans (Gold, Silver, Platinum), and subscription tracking.
Approval Workflow: Designed a partnership approval pipeline with status tracking, notifications, and audit logging.
Real-Time Notifications: Integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging with deep linking to instantly notify admins about pending approvals or performance updates.
Enterprise Security: Applied JWT authentication, secure storage, and role-based access control for admin and franchise users.
Technical Highlights
Architecture: Modular feature-first structure using Clean Architecture and BLoC for predictable state management.
Location Services: Google Maps API, Geocoding, and distance-based salon recommendations.
Networking: REST APIs with Dio for efficient data fetching, JWT authentication for security.
Push Notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging and local notification triggers for appointment reminders.
UI/UX: Material Design 3, shimmer loading states, custom animation transitions.
Performance: Optimized rendering pipeline, caching strategies, and async preloading.
Testing: Manual and automated QA for booking workflows and API integrations.
Conclusion
Vylee transforms the traditional beauty booking experience into a personalized, tech-driven journey. It demonstrates how location intelligence, modern UI, and scalable architecture can bring convenience and engagement to everyday services. By combining Flutter performance, AI-driven personalization, and a user-first design, the app delivers a smooth and delightful experience that connects salons with their clients like never before.
