Project Summary

DevsTree took over development of a location-based mobile app and delivered native iOS and Android applications plus a backend tool that supports master admin and merchants. The app leverages geofencing to surface local events, sales and check-in highlights within a multi-layer linkage of neighborhoods, malls, events and retail shops. The app is published to both app stores and the backend is largely free of major bugs; the project was slower than anticipated but the vendor quickly implemented requested features and remains engaged to continue improvements.

Key Challenges

Develop native iOS and Android applications and a backend tool for the master admin and merchants.
Implement location-based features using geofencing to surface local events and sales.
Create a multi-layer linkage system to relate neighborhoods, malls, events, attractions, and retail shops.

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application
Android mobile application
Backend admin and merchant web tool with role-based access

Project Solution

DevsTree developed native iOS and Android applications and implemented a backend web tool with role-based access for a master admin and merchants. The vendor used Xcode/Swift for iOS, Java for Android, and PHP with AngularJS for the backend, and assigned two project managers plus platform-specific developers to implement the requested geofencing and multi-layer linkage features. The backend enables merchants to post flash sales and highlights which are surfaced to users based on geofencing and check-ins.

Project Outcome

App published on Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Backend is free of major bugs and flaws.
Client is continuing engagement with the vendor to implement UI/UX improvements and additional features.
