Mobile applications are useful for businesses, however, small companies often find difficulty with finding software that are suitable to their workflow and company requirements. Alternatives such as building customised solutions can be too costly to be a viable solutions as well. As such, the project attempts to design and build a modular platform, where software features and components are housed in packages. Developers can then incrementally build modules to suit different company or industry requirements. By catering to a huge set of industries via different modules, the cost of development can be spread over a wider range of customers, while still providing the flexibility required for the software. This report will cover the design decisions made while evaluating the available technologies for such a platform, as well as the methods and software architectural design patterns used to implement the platform. Finally, this report will touch on some examples of implementation, with focus on core concepts such as implementing important software design patterns and custom component reusability.
