Project Summary

Codibly developed a multilingual iOS and Android app for The Fair Employment Foundation to support domestic worker placement, delivering design, development, a complex entitlements calculator, and a CMS that enabled the client to manage most content. The app launched in March 2016 and received positive user feedback from both workers and employers, with ongoing support provided for post-launch issues and additional language content.

Key Challenges

Reach a very large population of domestic workers with limited direct contact (scale beyond placing ~800 people annually)
Structure and present large amounts of multilingual data in a user-friendly way
Implement a complex calculator embedding Hong Kong employment regulations
Ensure the client could update content without vendor intervention

Project Deliverables

Native mobile apps for iOS and Android
Multilingual support and complex data integration
An annual-leave/entitlements calculator feature
A content management system enabling client control of ~90% of app content
App store publication and post-launch training/support

Project Solution

Codibly designed and built native mobile apps for both iOS and Android from wireframes and outlines provided by the client. They led UI/UX design, implemented a complex annual‑leave/entitlements calculator based on Hong Kong employment regulations, integrated large datasets, built a content management system so the client could control ~90% of the app content, assisted with app store publication, and provided handoff training and post-launch support.

Project Outcome

The app launched on March 1, 2016 and has continued to receive updates and language additions
Users (workers and employers) reported the app was easy to use and provided valuable information, with employers adopting it heavily
Ongoing support and training enabled the client to manage most content independently
Some users reported the app's large download size caused issues on limited data plans
