Project Summary

Cumulations developed iOS and Android Bluetooth-based (beacon) mobile apps to enable tracking of lost objects, a solution that required significant experimentation and integration with remote hardware. The vendor assumed full responsibility for app development, filled gaps in functional specifications, and advised on firmware integration with hardware developed in the US. Cumulations stepped in after a prior team failed to meet specifications and completed the work within the suggested timeframe and budget while maintaining strong project management and testing practices.

Quality of Deliverables

“We started the project with another development team, who failed to meet our specifications. Cumulations stepped into the project and worked tirelessly to get the app completed in the allotted timeframe and kept a positive attitude throughout. Their well-organized, talented team was engaged at all levels. Their expertise in this area is unmatched.”
