ABC Incorporated​

We have been engaged by ABC Incorporated, a not-for-profit association that works in the Disability sector.

A lot of ABC's clients are looking for emergency accommodation for various reasons. It may be that they have been evicted for not paying rent, or they may be facing a domestic violence situation, or they simply may not have anywere to stay for a few nights.

ABC have a list of emergency accommodation providers but different providers cater for different kinds of people. For example, some only cater for families, some may only cater for people of a particular gender and so on.

ABC have come to us and asked us to write an app that would present to a user a list of accommodation providers relevant just to them. For example, a single male living at Gepps Cross would only be presented with a list of accommodation providers that cater for single males and located in the north of Adelaide.

ABC can provide us with a list of providers. ABC will need to maintain that list, so we need to make the maintenance process as simple as possible for them.
