Project Summary

EB Pearls developed the Halo charity platform including native iOS and Android mobile apps, admin CMS dashboards, and a partner web portal, using Node.js and MongoDB and managing AWS infrastructure for environments. The engagement delivered QA and project-management support and saved the client an estimated $200,000–$400,000 versus hiring an in-house team.

EB Pearls also provided project management, QA support, and a staff-leasing model with dedicated onshore and offshore resources to manage releases and post-go-live support.
