Project Summary

Five developed an iOS SDK and custom mobile apps for a mobile marketing platform used by third‑party publishers, providing a continuous small engineering team and occasional UI/UX design. The vendor supplies an app framework used to customize solutions per publisher and pushes an SDK release to the public repository roughly monthly. The engagement runs on a retainer and Five has conformed to the client’s budget and timelines while providing responsive support.

Project Solution

Five developed the client’s iOS mobile apps and an iOS SDK for ads, implementing an app framework used to customize and configure publisher apps. The vendor delivered software development work primarily (Objective-C and Swift), provided occasional UI/UX design, implemented paywall functionality, and built at least one custom app. Coordination was done using Git, JIRA, Confluence and Skype; the engagement operates on a retainer with a small engineering team supplied continuously.

High-quality engineering resources and strong product ownership from the vendor
Consistent adherence to budget and timelines while working on a retainer
