Project Description
I Am Looking For An App Developer or Development Team
Budget 3.5 to 4k.
I am looking to have developed a Funeral Digital Registry Book App. You would have to start from scratch in building this application. There are many plugins that would make this a very easy project. I am wanting an App that can not only collect attendees names, and information, allow the family to make condolences, but also add additional features that we can either turn on or off, addons, where the funeral home could sale their products and services, we can send memorial messages or other pertinent messeages, where it integrates with softwares like Osiris. https://osirissoftware.com and their competitors.

Gaps in the Market (Important Insight)
Even though all these features exist…
Most platforms only do some of these—not all
Very few combine:
• QR registry
• Ecommerce
• Keepsake creation
• Full backend integration
These feature would allow me to:
• Scan → Sign → Share → Give → Remember → Print → Follow-up
This full loop is not fully owned by any one platform yet
Here are some of the applications that are on the Market

3. Core systems
No unified platform exists.
Opportunity
A unified platform could include:

Memory book generation
Integration with systems like Osiris
Recommendation
