VRP Joins Jobscience for Salesforce’ $1 Million Hackathon

VRPs Dmitry Savinkov joined the team at Jobscience over the weekend for Salesforce’ $1 million hackathon winning 9th place and $10,000!

The challenge was to develop a mind blowing, functional, mobile app using Force.com, Heroku, ExactTarget, or any of the other developer tools and APIs that make up Salesforce Platform.  

Using the Salesforce1 platform the team developed an app to simplify the bar experience for consumers. 

“. . . dataBarz allows Consumers so look up bars in their neighborhood, read reviews, examine the drink menu, and purchase drinks which will trigger the drink-bot to pour you a drink of your choice! This extremely intuitive and easy to use application on the salesforce1 platform will simplify payments, reduce lines at bars and give users all of the information they need to know about a bar. And a robot pours you a drink! That’s pretty awesome. 

dataBarz also allows the Bar Manager to manage their inventory, define what drinks are available through the drink-bot, and monitor quantity levels, orders coming in, and reviews… all from the salesforce1 app! The drink-bot is an extremely affordable and easy solution for any of the few hundred bars you find in San Francisco, or any city for that matter! . . .”


The team created the app to solve issues like, cash only bars, long lines, or not knowing what to order at a bar you’ve never been to. They also wanted to show off the plethora of abilities you can do with cloud based automation.
