Project Summary

Codewave built a cloud-integrated product ecosystem that combined several standalone time-tracking apps (iOS/Android) with a web master-admin interface for a Swiss B2B startup. The team designed and implemented core functionality, an admin area and a subscription/payment flow for a SaaS model, delivering product enhancements beyond the original scope. Communication was strong despite cross-border collaboration and a mid-project staff change.

Key Challenges

Combine multiple standalone apps into a single cloud-integrated system
Ensure data integrity when transferring data to new mobile devices
Support offline mode and reliable sync between devices and the cloud
Push data from the administrator account to mobile devices reliably

Project Deliverables

Cloud-integrated time-tracking system
iOS and Android app integrations
Web-based master admin interface
Subscription and payment system (SaaS billing)

Project Solution

Codewave conducted initial and detailed design phases to define the website and cloud interactions, then implemented cloud integration for previously standalone iOS and Android time-tracking apps. They developed a central master account with admin privileges, implemented user subscriptions and payment flows for a SaaS model, and delivered features incrementally (admin area, FAQ, blog, etc.). The team coordinated via Google Drive and Skype and managed a mid-project staff replacement to keep development moving.

Project Outcome

Product quality met or exceeded expectations, with enhancements beyond original scope
Direct access to programmers improved collaboration and responsiveness
Staff change was managed and project completed despite delays
Project duration extended to about 10 months (longer than originally planned)
