Our Journey From Proprietary To Open Source

The on-demand delivery market is booming, creating exciting opportunities for startups. However, building a robust delivery platform from scratch can be a significant challenge. Enatega (Enatega.com), a comprehensive open-source delivery management software solution, aims to streamline this process for developers and entrepreneurs.

Effortless Setup and Versatile Functionality

Enatega prioritizes user-friendliness. Forget complex configurations; developers can get started swiftly with just a few commands for local deployment. Designed for versatility, Enatega functions seamlessly across iOS, Android, and web environments, allowing for testing and refinement of your delivery app on a range of devices.

Open-Source Strength: A Wealth of Resources for Developers

Enatega embraces the open-source philosophy, providing a treasure trove of resources to ensure a smooth development experience. Developers can access live demos, explore in-depth documentation, and leverage video tutorials to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform's capabilities.

The Enatega Journey

Enatega's story began four years ago as a passionate side project at Ninjas Code (Ninjascode.com), a software development agency. Driven by a desire to address limitations in the local food delivery market, we embarked on this endeavor.

Recognizing the challenges of competing with industry giants, we strategically pivoted our focus to empowering others with the tools to launch their own successful delivery services.

Building a Collaborative Ecosystem

Initially, we utilized established third-party marketplaces for marketing and promotion. While successful, the closure of a key marketplace necessitated a new strategy. We recognized the immense potential of the open-source community and made the strategic decision to open-source the Enatega app repository.

This move has been instrumental, generating significant traction without extensive marketing efforts. It has also fostered a vibrant community of developers and provided valuable real-world experience for contributors working on a project utilized by over 100 startups.

Sustainable Development

To ensure the project's long-term viability, we offer a back-end license with an open API structure. While the back-end source code remains proprietary and requires a license, the open API empowers developers to customize the platform to fit specific use cases. This balanced approach fosters innovation within the community while ensuring the project's continued development and support.

A Feature-Rich Powerhouse for Delivery Apps

Enatega Multivendor is a comprehensive multi-vendor food delivery solution designed for iOS, Android, and web platforms. It leverages Amplitude for robust dashboards and insightful analytics, along with exceptional mobile and web app designs that ensure seamless integration into any meal delivery service.
