About the Client

Our Client at a Glance

Pango Nutrition

A nutrition service relying on expert nutritionists to create personalized, calculation-intensive diet plans for their growing client base.

The Core Problem

Diets were created manually in Excel, involving tedious calorie and nutrient checks, which severely capped the business’s ability to take on new clients due to time constraints.

Excessive Time Overhead

Each personalized diet required approximately 4 hours of manual labor, checking and cross-referencing nutritional data in spreadsheets.

Time Per Diet

4 Hrs

Low Scalability

With only 10 diets created per week per nutritionist, the business could not grow its client base without hiring more expensive staff.

Weekly Diet Cap (Old)
