Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) developed an iOS prototype for an early-stage B2C marketplace, using existing wireframes and handling wireframing, design, and development. The prototype was delivered between Sep. 2016 and Jan. 2017 and used to validate the business idea. Reviewers praised the design and responsiveness but noted the user flow needed simplification, and the vendor did not deliver a fully viable solution by the original deadline.

Key Challenges

  • Need to create a prototype that could be tested on the market with customers
  • Required wireframing and design and someone to assemble those into a functional product

Project Deliverables

  • iOS prototype
  • Wireframes
  • Design
  • Separate supplier and customer interfaces
  • Logo design
  • Application code

Project Solution

Steelkiwi produced an iOS prototype, handling wireframing, UI/UX design, and development. They implemented separate interfaces for supplier accounts and basic customer accounts. The client primarily interacted with a project manager and a UX designer, while three additional resources handled design assets, the logo, and the coding; the vendor's principal was involved during contract signing. The engagement ran from the end of September 2016 to the end of January 2017.

Project Outcome

  • Prototype used to validate the business idea rather than as a full production app
  • Design was perceived positively
  • User-flow needed simplification based on testing feedback
  • Vendor was responsive and proactive in communication
  • Did not deliver a viable solution by the specified deadline

Quality of Deliverables

“Access to a wide variety of talent is a key strength and responsiveness is rarely a concern. While versatility proved invaluable, GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) was unable to deliver a viable solution by the specified deadline.”
