Project Summary

An event tech company engaged Aexol to build a tradeshow companion mobile app for iOS and Android to enable chat, exhibitor info, badge scanning and lead generation. The app was developed iteratively in React Native with GraphQL integration; users responded positively and some customers requested white-labeled versions. The vendor demonstrated flexibility, availability, and good communication.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

Aexol developed an iterative React Native mobile application using the client's pitches/specifications and integrated it with the client's GraphQL API.

They also engaged iOS (Swift) developers for a new app variant.

Project Outcome

The app is in active use by customers and has generated requests for white-labeled versions
Positive user feedback and the app meeting client expectations
High availability and flexibility from the vendor enabled smooth iteration cycles
