Client

Eskimo Epos

Bournemouth, United Kingdom

Project Summary

Cygnet Infotech served as an auxiliary development team for Eskimo Epos, delivering iOS/Android apps and integrations using C#, PHP, HTML, Angular, and jQuery. They built an online/offline stocktaking app with API sync, integrated eBay and Amazon shops into the client's Epos database, and provided WordPress/e-commerce support and software-rewrite assistance. The client praised their responsiveness, on-time delivery, consistent pricing, and high return on investment.

Key Challenges

In-house developers were stretched and lacked time to develop the desired apps
The client needed mobile apps and third-party integrations (e.g., eBay and Amazon) that internal resources could not deliver

Project Deliverables

Android- and iOS-compatible stocktaking mobile app
API-based database synchronization for the app
eBay and Amazon shop integrations into the Epos database
WordPress and e-commerce integrations
Ongoing software rewrite support and development assistance

Project Solution

Cygnet Infotech was engaged to develop an Android- and iOS-compatible stocktaking app that works online and offline and syncs with the client's database via an API. They implemented integrations between the client's Epos system and third-party marketplaces (eBay and Amazon), provided WordPress and e-commerce integration support, and assisted the client's developers with a longer-term software rewrite. The engagement began after sales consultations that captured UI, database, and functional specifications; Cygnet estimated costs and assigned developers and a project manager to the work.

Project Outcome

They won a large annual contract for stocktaking as a result of the app
No negative feedback received and the engagement delivered a high return on investment
Consistent communication with near-instant replies and use of a project management dashboard for tracking
Deliverables were provided on time with stable pricing and weekly progress reports
