Project Summary

CodeLions provided continuous software development and maintenance for Birdiecoach, improving the web application and delivering a hybrid mobile app using Ionic. Work began with a full-stack developer (Java + Angular) and scaled as needed; the vendor also proposed cost-saving architecture and improved the build/DevOps process. The client reports significant usability improvements and cost/speed advantages from the chosen hybrid approach.

Key Challenges

Fix and improve app functionality for both web and mobile
Deliver a mobile solution cost-effectively without resorting to expensive native development
Increase user adoption and client satisfaction through improved UX and functionality

Project Deliverables

Upgraded web application
Hybrid mobile app (Ionic) for iOS and Android
Annunciator (product feature)
Improved build system and external DevOps setup
Ongoing feature development and maintenance

Project Solution

CodeLions supplied a remote full-stack developer (Java + Angular) who later added Ionic support to enable hybrid mobile apps. They delivered ongoing software development, risk management, planning, and project coordination (stand-ups, sprint planning, Slack/Skype communication). The vendor recommended and implemented a hybrid Ionic approach over native mobile to reduce costs and speed delivery, and engaged external DevOps to improve the build system.

Project Outcome

Significant improvement in the application's functionality and usability
Improved build system and DevOps through external support
Cost and speed improvements from the Ionic/hybrid approach (around 50% improvement versus native approach as noted by the client)
