Project Summary

AppSierra rebuilt a home bakers' mobile app, performing end-to-end native development for iOS and Android and adding features such as real-time chat, saved search with alerts, social login, and personalized product highlights. The relaunch improved response time and user experience, drove a spike in downloads, and maintained performance under increased user load. The vendor provided regular communication, daily meetings, and weekly reports throughout the project.

Key Challenges

Existing app was basic with UI issues and poor performance.
Rapid surge in orders during the COVID-19 pandemic caused the old app to fail under load.
Need to build a quality, user-friendly application able to handle high order volumes.
