## Challenges

### Inconsistent Bottle Identification & Labeling Issues

**Challenge:** Many bottles lacked clear labels, and mismatched shapes made identification difficult, leaving only shape and color for differentiation during scanning.

**Solution:** Identification seemed impossible, but we solved it with a powerful API that made bottle detection smarter, even when unclear labels left only shape and color for differentiation.

### Guest User Authorization

**Challenge:** Onboarding guest users efficiently while maintaining security was a complex challenge.

**Solution:** Handling guest user authorization was more complex than expected—an intricate task requiring innovative problem-solving and precision to balance security and convenience while ensuring seamless access.

### Unifying Data Across Multiple Technologies

**Challenge:** Keeping WordPress and Node.js databases in sync, especially for real-time updates, was a significant hurdle in ensuring data consistency.

**Solution:** We overcame the challenge of syncing data between WordPress and Node.js by developing a robust REST API. This API ensures real-time updates by sending data to Node.js, which cross-checks the MongoDB database and makes necessary updates, maintaining seamless consistency across both platforms.
