SpendiQ Value proposition - ISIS3510-MOBILE-T34/T34-Wiki-SpendiQ GitHub Wiki

SpendiQ was born as a response to a basic need among students and young adults, the constant management of personal finances. For this reason, the project wants to provide value to its customers through functionalities that help to meet this objective, mainly to control day-to-day expenses automatically, avoiding manual tasks, such as recording all expenses. We could list in a general way the functionalities that help to generate value in our application and the way we deliver it to our users

  1. Reading SMS notifications/messages of transactions, to retrieve the transactions made by the user.
  2. Viewing transaction graphs for the user to know and understand their current financial situation.
  3. Recommendations of places, such as restaurants or stores, in their environment with offers, so that they can save on their expenses, making the mobile device a system aware of their environment.
  4. Establish spending limits, either by individual expenses, or by amount of money, in certain periods of time, so that, depending on the user's financial goals, they can save on their expenses.
  5. Display informative notifications about the current status of spending, so that the user knows what accounts he can spend on or how to manage his money to meet his goals.

The above features are the main features implemented to add value to our users, however, there are several other functionalities so that everyone can make use of SpendiQ, for example, in case you can not include a transaction automatically, you can also do it manually, you can see the details of the transactions made (date, time, place and amount), etc. Most of these features are validated to avoid rendering problems in the application or that the information provided is wrong. We also implemented local memory usage strategies, eventual connectivity and cache usage to take advantage of the devices' resources in order to deliver the value we want, regardless of the usage scenarios, so that they can take advantage of our application to create a smart way of spending.
