Project Summary

Consagous Technologies developed the wireframes for a marketplace mobile app startup. They worked on UI and initial development for four native apps and a web admin console and were reported to have worked effectively to complete the project. The client was a Frisco, TX–based startup focused on advertising real-time restaurant deals to users.

Key Challenges

Develop four native apps and a web admin console with billing API integration
Aggressive three-month timeline for initial delivery
Poor project management and inconsistent schedules (multiple PM changes)
Insufficient QA and programming shortcuts leading to rework and delays

Project Deliverables

Wireframes for the marketplace mobile app
Four native mobile apps (iOS and Android)
Web admin console
Billing software API integration

Project Solution

The vendor was selected after initial contact with Bhavesh and based on cost and perceived understanding of requirements. The team discussed requirements and scheduled goals and began UI development under an aggressive three-month timetable. The engagement included UI/wireframe work and new development of four native mobile apps (owner and user apps on iOS and Android) plus a web admin console; a billing-software API was added during the project. Initial staffing included a project manager and two developers.

Project Outcome

Produced working prototypes two months behind schedule
Significant quality issues and programming shortcuts required recoding and extended fixes, contributing to roughly 12 months of continued work and lost revenue
UI work was well organized and considered the strongest part of the engagement
Billing API failed to function properly at launch and caused persistent problems
