SmartBuy was made as a final project for our Software Practical Engineering degree (הנדסאים) at Ort Braude College.

Algorithms:

SmartBuy boasts a fully working product suggestion algorithm in the customer Android app that works by matching customers with respective ranks which are calculated by comparing their buying habits. The equation looks like this: P=((|A∩B|)-|B|)/m >> where A is the number of similar items for person a, B is the same for person b, and m is the average difference of priority between both people (a and b).

SmartBuy also ranks order preperation priority using our own priority equation: P=(w+t)/t >> where (w) is the amount of time the order has been waiting and (t) is the exptected time needed to prepare the order. and that leaves P to be the final priority value of said order.
