MyFoodOffice: Cloud-based App for Food Labeling and Ingredient Declarations

Automating food product declarations: simple, fast, and legally compliant

MyFoodOffice approached us with a clearly defined goal: to design and implement a dedicated application to automatically generate product declarations and food labels.

Together with the client's team, we developed a cohesive product concept and then designed a database architecture ready for dynamic scaling.

Trust as the foundation of the brand

In the food industry, there is no room for compromise—transparency and trust are fundamental. That’s why the visual identity of MyFoodOffice had to exude professionalism and credibility while keeping a modern, fresh character. When designing the platform’s logo, we told the product’s story: traditional food—symbolized by an ear of wheat—meets new technology that is revolutionizing the food manufacturing sector.

Functional UI/UX Design

While designing the user interface (look & feel), we combined the rigorous demands of business software with the brand’s unique identity. We aimed to create an organized, clear workspace with a distinctive aesthetic that references the food industry. Usability tests and user feedback clearly confirmed the chosen direction: the platform is intuitive, visually appealing, and aligned with the day-to-day realities of quality and food technology specialists.

Clear information architecture

Because the platform operates on extensive sets of technical parameters, it was crucial to balance richness of detail with readability. We developed a clear information architecture in which every parameter has its logical place. A consistent color-coding system made it easier to quickly analyze ingredients, allergens, and nutritional values without the risk of overlooking critical data.

Available on all devices

MyFoodOffice users—including technologists in processing plants and bakeries—need fast access to the system right on the production floor. We designed the interface using Responsive Web Design (RWD), which solves the challenge of presenting complex tables and recipes on smaller screens of mobile devices and tablets.

Technology stack

From the very first sprint, we focused on a mature technology stack and high automated test coverage, ensuring system reliability:

• Architecture & Development: Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Security & Infrastructure: Cloudflare (protection and DNS), CircleCI (CI/CD automation).
• Analytics and supporting tools: SendGrid (transactional messaging), Rollbar (real-time error monitoring), Code Climate (static code quality analysis).

We base smooth collaboration and knowledge transfer on transparent project tools: Slack handles day-to-day communication, Jira handles prioritization and sprint management, and GitHub handles code review workflows and version control.
