Project Summary

Daffodil Software took over development of an existing iOS app and led the rewrite into a React-based cross-platform product for iOS and Android. The vendor scaled the team from an initial single developer to a small dedicated team and acted as an extension of the client's in-house staff. Communication and project management were highlighted as strengths, with daily calls and tools like JIRA and Google Drive used to coordinate work.

Key Challenges

Rewrite the existing app and build a cross-platform iOS and Android product
Need a development partner to implement previously specced user flows because the prior provider only specialized in UX

Project Deliverables

Cross-platform mobile app (iOS and Android)
Updates and fixes to the existing iOS app

Project Solution

Daffodil Software performed incremental iOS maintenance before scaling up to lead development of a new cross-platform mobile app. They provided a small dedicated team (ranging from one to four developers) and added a product owner on their side. They implemented the app using React/React Native to deliver a single codebase for both iOS and Android, maintained consistent resources, and supported communication via daily calls, JIRA, Skype, and Google Drive.

Project Outcome

App near ready to go live after final tweaks
Successful cross-platform implementation using React Native
Improved communication and project management; acted as an extension of the client's in-house team
