Creation Process
Discovery & Conceptualization
During this stage, we conducted a market analysis to identify the target audience and define the product vision. We then worked closely with the client's team to shape hypotheses and test them with independent focus groups. The feedback we received helped us shape and reshape the product vision to fit the market niche.
1Design & Prototyping
After clarifying the feature list, our team created wireframes that aligned with the target audience's preferences. We worked on a concept that was easy to use and could be scaled or changed to meet the client's future needs. We then created high-fidelity designs and prototypes that helped us refine the user experience.
2Solution Architecture
During this stage, we created a list of all the required vendors for product creation and performed in-depth research on their differences in terms of price, quality, scalability, and compatibility with each other. After weighing all the pros and cons from a business, technical, compliance, and security perspective, we proposed a flexible and scalable solution architecture based on optimally priced vendors.
3Development & Testing
Our team of engineers worked on developing the iOS, Android, and Web back-office portals simultaneously. We integrated with different service providers, which presented numerous challenges. We had to overcome outdated API documentation, sub-partner dependencies that affected timelines and created codependencies. We also performed rigorous testing to ensure the application's reliability, functionality, and security.
4Maintenance & Support
After releasing the MVP, we continued implementing new features and fixing bugs based on client feedback. Our frequent releases every two weeks helped us improve the product and keep pace with the market. We also provided post-launch support to ensure the application's stability and address any issues that arose.
