About
"REARRANGE" is an app that offers a smart grocery management service by collecting data through an external product: a pad-scale connected to a scanner and camera. Using this product, the app knows exactly what ingredients we have at home, where they are located in the fridge/pantry, and the precise quantity left for each item in real time. With all this data at hand, the app performs actions that optimize household management in an innovative way, aiming for anyone managing a household—whether busy parents balancing careers and household responsibilities or individuals who prioritize a healthy lifestyle—to reduce the burden of daily tasks and operate more efficiently, accurately, and intelligently.

4 Actions in the App
Smart Recipes
Our app tracks the products in your fridge and their quantities, allowing it to create recipes based on what you have, categorized by types like Italian, Mexican, or healthy and low-calorie food.
Expiry Check
The app notifies about products whose expiration dates are nearing. Again, you'll need to define X days before the expiration date. The default setting will be three days.
Product Orders
Based on your regular items, you can order products from any supermarket you choose, including the option to manually edit the items.
Inventory Check
The app notifies when products are running low. You can set a percentage (X), and when the product reaches it, the app will alert you to restock. The default alert is when 20% is left.
User personas
User scenario
A user scenario is a detailed narrative that describes how a user interacts with the app to achieve a specific goal. It helps to understand user needs, behaviors, and challenges in real-life contexts, guiding the design process.
