Project Solution

EBS Integrator revamped the marketplace platform using React for the frontend and Node.js for the backend and developed native mobile apps for iOS (Swift) and Android. They implemented features including a real-time chat tool, saved-search alerts, social login, and advanced search functionality. The vendor executed end-to-end development, produced full technical specifications and frontend designs, and provided ongoing feedback and testing throughout the engagement. The client collaborated primarily with a project manager supported by a frontend developer, backend developer, iOS specialist, and Android specialist.
