Good Local – Developer 2

The intern shall participate in a research and development project to create applications for the Goodlocal organization, that will help the organization expand it’s support of local businesses by providing logistical and operational services. Goodlocal’s body of work have confirmed that their successful online marketplace has largely benefited local business owners and in line with their mission, a new logistical service will be launched to help small businesses. Student interns will participate in developing an application to help Goodlocal offer delivery services aimed to help vendors outside of the Goodlocal marketplace, to delivering products and orders to buyers in the fastest and most economical route possible and help businesses reach a new range of customers both far and wide. The application will consist of both desktop and mobile app components. In addition to developing this application, students will also participate in developing a mobile application for existing vendors. Goodlocal analytics show that 67% of their users are mobile based, yet no mobile app exists for vendors to manage their store fronts.
