GroceryGo

With grocery prices shifting week to week across Coles and Woolworths, Australian households are increasingly looking for a smarter way to shop. Grocery Go gives them one. A subscription-based mobile app, Grocery Go lets users build their weekly shopping list and instantly compare prices across major supermarkets, so they know exactly where their shop is cheapest before they leave the house. Prices are regularly updated, savings are tracked over time, and the whole experience is built for the average Australian household, not the tech-savvy shopper. When the Grocery Go team came to Moonward, though, the app wasn't live. It had been handed over from a previous development team in an uncertain state, and it needed someone to step in, make sense of it using the Recovery Mission.

Moonward conducted a thorough review of the inherited codebase, designs, and technical architecture. Every layer of the product was assessed: what was working, what was broken, what was missing, and what needed to be rebuilt. The audit gave the Grocery Go team a clear, honest picture of where their product stood and what it would take to get it live. With the audit complete, Moonward worked through the issues identified and resolved them systematically. Bugs that had been blocking launch, inconsistencies between design and build, and structural problems in the codebase were all addressed before any new work began.

The Grocery Go story is one of the most honest in software: a great idea, a difficult handover, and a team willing to do the unglamorous work of getting it right before pushing forward. Moonward stepped in when the project needed someone to take ownership, delivered a thorough audit, resolved the outstanding issues, and got the product live. Now, with the app in market and a growth plan in place, the focus shifts to what Grocery Go can become.
