Unveiling Sprint 13: Elevating User Experience with Real-Time Features
Welcome back to our development diary, where we dive deep into the latest advancements and updates from our journey with Dealogikal 2.0. As we step into Sprint 13, our focus is sharper than ever on enhancing user interaction and ensuring seamless, real-time communication within the platform. This sprint is all about bringing to life features that not only enhance functionality but also significantly improve the user experience. Let’s explore the exciting additions of WebSockets, integrations, bell notifications, modals, and snackbars.
WebSockets: Real-Time Communication at Its Best
In the heart of our efforts this sprint is our first implementation of WebSockets. This powerful technology allows for real-time bidirectional communication between the users and the server. What does this mean for you? Instant updates, real-time notifications, and an overall smoother, more responsive experience. Whether it’s a status update on a procurement request or a live chat feature, WebSockets ensure that Dealogikal 2.0 keeps you informed and connected without the need for constant page refreshes.
Seamless Integrations: Expanding Our Ecosystem
A key focus of Sprint 13 is enhancing the platform’s capabilities through strategic integrations. Our goal is to create a more robust experience that allows users to seamlessly interconnect within Dealogikal 2.0. From price quotation request straight through the supplier to logistics provider. These integrations are designed to streamline workflows, reduce manual data entry, and ultimately save time.
Bell Notifications: Never Miss an Update
Staying informed is crucial in the fast-paced world of procurement. That’s why we’re introducing bell notifications—a dedicated notification system that alerts you to new updates and important information. This feature ensures that critical alerts, such as bid deadlines or approval requests, are promptly highlighted, keeping you on top of your procurement game without any added stress.
Modals and Snackbar Notifications: Enhancing User Alerts
Our commitment to an intuitive user interface continues with the introduction of modals and snackbar notifications. Modals are interactive dialog boxes that demand user attention, ideal for confirming actions or displaying detailed information without navigating away from the current page. On the other hand, snackbars provide brief messages about app processes at the bottom of the screen—think of them as quick, informative alerts that confirm actions like “Item Saved” or “Email Sent.” Together, these features enrich the user interface by delivering information in a clear, unobtrusive manner.

Looking Ahead
As we wrap up Sprint 13, our excitement for the future of Dealogikal 2.0 is palpable. These enhancements are not just about adding new features; they’re about creating a platform that’s more connected, intuitive, and responsive to your needs. The integration of WebSockets, expanded integrations, bell notifications, modals, and snackbar notifications represent significant steps forward in achieving our vision for a seamless procurement experience.
But this is just the beginning. With each sprint, we’re not only building upon the foundation laid by previous versions but also exploring new ways to innovate and improve.
