Prestige Worldwide New Project Proposal

New Project Proposal

  • Name of the Organization: Prestige Worldwide
  • Project Title: Ingredient List Decoder
  • Project Overview: Our project is to create an app that will help users avoid ingredients or chemicals in products they are using such as allergens. The app will suggest alternative products that do not contain ingredients they wish to avoid.
  • Project Timeframe: January 20th 2015 – May 4th 2015
  • Prepared by: Jacklin Altman, Dominic Lyate, Brittany Cougle, Arren Soroko, Amanda Rossetti

Project Summary

    Ingredient lists are complex and hard to read and some are incomplete. People with allergies or have chosen to avoid certain ingredients need a quick and easy way to decipher if the product they are safe for them to use. Our app will fill this gap though allowing users to enter in ingredients and chemicals they wish to avoid. Users then enter or scan the barcode of the product they are looking at and the app will tell the user if the product contains anything they wish to avoid. If it does have ingredients the user does to want the app will then suggest substitute products that are similar but do not contain anything the user is avoiding. Users can use the app to purchase these products and have them shipped to their door.

Project Objectives

    • Application should store user data on what ingredients and chemicals they are avoiding
    • Application should be able to scan barcodes and search for manually entered products
    • Application should be able to notify users if the product contains ingredients or chemicals they wish to avoid
    • Application should suggest alternative products when searching
    • Application should interface with major online retailers (such as Amazon, Walmart, Target etc) where it will allow users to purchase suggested products through the application
