mobiles. Mobile app is much faster than the web ordering systems. It is less time consuming.
Customer mobile apps are gaining momentum as per the reports and analysis on an average,
about 7.5 hr. per employee per week are saved by the mobile applications (Benveniste and et.al.,
2012). 82% of the business owners states that it helps to earn additional revenues in the industry.
Some of the benefits of custom mobile application as compared to web order as follows:
1. Improve efficiency: Picoso is using the web order based system to deliver the product in

mobile application provides high security and increase the productivity. Web based order
provides less security to store data and they have not specialised features. Sometimes it
gives risk to the company because of less security of data (Charland and Leroux, 2011).
3. Improve customer relationship: mobile application provides good and effective
relationship between the customers. Through this mobile application Picoso can get client
feedback and then they can easily solve them by providing good quality product and
service to the customers. They improve and maintain log term customer relationship with
the Piciso company.
4. Facilities new customer data retrieve: by mobile application the company can get
required customer information. They save a time the client not need to submit their
information by documents. Mobile application is useful for both employee and customers
(Buechler, 2013).
Mobile application vs web based order system
Main difference between the mobile app and web based ordering system is time
consuming and easy accessible. Mobile application have advanced features to get order from the
customer. It also has high security for the data. Web based system is time consuming for the
clients they need high speed internet to access the websites but the mobile app is easily
accessible for the customers because the have advanced features (Dalmasso and et.al., 2013).

Topic 2
WBS is the structure in which they provide an effective and efficient way to develop the
mobile application. This structure is used by the Picoso company to increase a productivity in the
industry. It provides good and effective food products to the customers. They used web order
system to provide products to the clients. WBS is the structural presentation of the in- house
development of front end mobile application (Burke, 2013). It reduces a complexity and scope of
the application. Picoso firm changed the web based order system into mobile application to
increase the productivity in the market and also enhance a business in the industry. It provides
online services to its clients to increase the productivity.

Illustration 1: WBS of In-house development

Pisoco organization follows WBS structure which includes requirements, architecture,
coding, training and testing for the front end application. Work breakdown structure is a pictorial
presentation of the application. It provides a way to create the application in the firm. First the
company need to understand requirements of the customers and then based on the client needs
they need to create mobile application for the clients. Manager has the responsibilities to analyse
a requirements and then analyse a process of the application to create effective mobile
application. After analysing the processes they need to decide architecture of the mobile app. In
this architecture it includes define classes, design database and design UI (Hillson, 2003).
The UI must be effective and attractive to the users that will increase efficiency in the
application. Design part includes page design, database design means the pages of a mobile must
be attractive for the customers. A database must be good enough to take data from the customers
effectively. UI is the front end part of the mobile app this part must be good enough to attract the
customers. Picoso company this WBS to create effective efficient applications to the clients.
Coding is the most important part of frond end in mobile application because through
coding only the company can implement application. In this part of WBS they produce UI and
unit tests to check the application.
Test cases checks whether the fields and pages are taking the data based on the criteria or
not. Picoso provide appropriate training and development to create effective application in the
company (Holzer and Ondrus, 2011). It has good and knowledgable employees to implement
effective mobile applications. They provide guidelines and instruction to create good mobile
application. Mobile app has a lot of advantage such as increment in productivity, enhancement in
performance, increase efficiency etc. some of the benefits of using WBS in mobile application
development as follows:
 higher productivity
 More detailed stages
 Encourage transparency
 Better risk identification
 progress monitoring

Topic 3
Mobile application provides effective and efficient way to increase a productivity in a
market. Picoso company follows this strategy to enhance a business in the industry. WBS helps
to create effective and suitable application that will help to increase the productivity in the
industry. WBS provides a way to now what are all the risk and benefits to create this types of
application in the market. There are many advantages to create in- house development of the
mobile application (Saied and et.al., 2013). It provides more enhancement to sell a product in the
market. Some of the benefit of in- house development of mobile application is as follows:
 More transparency in operations during development procedure.
 Higher control over the development project.
 Lots of options are created when choosing new technologies.
Alternative way of in-house development is that Picoso can create mobile app
development in outsourcing. Outsourcing mobile application development provides effective
facilities to attract the customer in the market. They save time, money and increase a
productivity in the industry. Some of the advantage of outsourcing mobile app development as
follows:
 No time wasted in market formalities
 minimum risk
 Higher performance
 more efficient
Picoso should use outsourcing mobile app development because it is less time consuming

market. Through mobile app the company can get more profit and also increase a productivity in
the industry. This development has many benefits such as no formalities in market they can
directly produce an application based in the customer needs (Szczykutowicz and Mistretta,
2013).
Picoso uses web based order system to deliver a good quality product tot her customer
but now they want to create effective and efficient mobile application that will provide effective
services to increase a productivity in the industry. They use in-house development to produce a
mobile application development that is cheaper and they can also provide good training to the
5

employees so that they can create an efficient mobile application. This app attracts the customer
and easy way to deliver a product to the clients (Vezzoli, 2013).
Picoso can also use outsourcing development to reduce developing time and save money.
Main benefit of this development is that they provide profit to the company during the
development of mobile application.
CONCLUSION
Web based order system is time consuming to deliver a product to the customers. The
mobile application development provides effective and efficient way to send products to the
clients. Picoso company provides good quality product to the customers. It has the biggest
franchisees of restaurant and it also provides online products to the clients. They develop mobile
application to attract the customer and increase a productivity in the industry. They follows WBS
for the production of mobile application development. It provides a way in which they can easily
identify risk and benefits of mobile application. Picoso uses mobile application to increase
productivity and enhance a business in the market.
