Project Solution

A colleague recommended Dikonia and after an introductory call the vendor received the client's mockups and business requirements. The vendor built the backend infrastructure on AWS, coded the iOS app and provided development builds for installation during the build, and developed a web marketplace including login, reporting, and PayPal purchasing functions. They integrated SendGrid for email notifications and PayPal for payments, connected the app to the client's servers and database, and assisted the client through the App Store submission process. The team assigned a project manager and operated with around five developers.

Project Outcome

Client was very happy with the end result

Issues were resolved quickly though the project took longer than initially planned
