From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving Community

Enatega's journey began a few years back as a side project at Ninjas Code. We envisioned creating a local delivery app while offering software development services. We saw room for improvement in existing apps, but marketing our own proved challenging. So, we pivoted to empower others to build their own delivery services!

Initially, we leveraged online marketplaces to find customers. However, when one shut down, we required another solution. Recognizing our development expertise, we open-sourced our app code as the ultimate marketing strategy.

This decision has garnered significant traction without hefty marketing budgets. We're proud to provide a platform used by over 100 startups and empower developers to contribute and showcase their skills.

Enatega Multivendor: A Feature-Rich Powerhouse

 Enatega releases App Repo as Open Source

Introduction

After a 4 year journey through the world of proprietary software, we're excited to announce that we've taken the big leap into open source with the release of Enatega(enatega.com) - a delivery management software that is made to launch your own food delivery or any other relevant business. Here is a quick rundown of what Enatega offers: * Quick and easy setup: We don’t have any complicated workflows and toolings you can simply run some few commands to run the project locally on your system.

* Infrastructure and flexibility: Enatega works cross platform across and gives you the freedom to test it easily on your emulators or physical devices that you already have. * Open source goodness: Enatega offers live demos, documentations and videos for the product in action so you don’t have to worry about figuring out everything yourself. You can find the source code and get started here: (https://github.com/ninjas-code-official/food-delivery-multivendor) Our Journey to Open Source

We started Enatega 4 years ago. Initially it was our side project at Ninjas Code(ninjascode.com) being a software development agency we wanted to launch something in the local market while providing software development services side by side. We were planning to compete with a local food delivery app company that we thought had some problems and we can address those problems with our product more easily. Being a developer savvy company we didn’t have the marketing expertise needed to compete with the giants in our niche. We quickly realized this and pivoted to helping others launch their own delivery service instead. Initially we relied on 3rd party marketplaces for marketing purposes. And it was working well. Our product was good enough to sell well relative to other products out there in the market, unfortunately things fell apart in the marketplace and it had to close down. We had to pivot again and quickly, we needed a solution for marketing having team expertise in development we found open sourcing our App Repo as the best solution. We did that and now we are getting a lot of traction without much paid marketing or doing any marketing acrobatics. The value that we feel that we are providing is helping other contributors by giving them visibility on the project as well as giving them actual technical experience by working on a project that is being used by more than 100+ startups. We do need to monetise and keep the business running with some business model in place, so we are providing the backend as a license while it is an OPEN API but the source code for the backend is kept proprietary which is only available after purchasing the license. We do understand that the majority of the enterprises completely open source their projects while trying to provide a self hosted solution as a SAAS based product. But for our business model that won't be possible since even after purchasing the product the solution might not be implementable as it is and might need some modifications or customisations for deploying it for their use case exactly. 

App Repo unveiled

Enatega Multivendor is a full-featured Multivendor food delivery solution for iOS, Android, and the Web that uses Amplitude for dashboard and analytics.

The Rise of FoodPanda Clones

In today's fast-paced world, convenience is key. With hectic schedules and demanding lifestyles, people often find themselves pressed for time, especially when it comes to preparing meals. This has led to the surge in popularity of food delivery services, making it easier than ever to enjoy restaurant-quality meals from the comfort of home. Among these services, FoodPanda stands out as a frontrunner, offering a seamless platform connecting hungry customers with a plethora of dining options. But what if you could replicate this success? Enter FoodPanda clones - a phenomenon that's revolutionising the food delivery industry.

 The Concept of FoodPanda Clones

FoodPanda clones are essentially replica platforms modelled after the successful FoodPanda business model. These clones aim to provide similar functionalities and services, catering to the growing demand for convenient food delivery. They leverage technology to connect users with nearby restaurants, allowing them to browse menus, place orders, and have their meals delivered right to their doorstep.

Why Clone FoodPanda?

The appeal of cloning FoodPanda lies in its proven success. By replicating a well-established platform like FoodPanda, entrepreneurs can tap into a lucrative market without having to start from scratch. This significantly reduces the time and resources required to launch a food delivery service, making it an attractive option for aspiring business owners.
