Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) built a Python/Django-based platform and supporting website and mobile apps for a retail logistics startup, handling development, integration and quality assurance. The client, a U.S.-based startup with fewer than 10 employees, praised the vendor's high-quality development (few critical bugs), fast bug resolution, and strong project management. The engagement began in 2014–2015 and remains ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • Build a robust prototype before seeking investors
  • Consolidate multiple skill sets under one vendor at a lower cost than U.S. options
  • Find expertise in Python/Django, PostgreSQL, mobile (iOS/Android) and front-end frameworks
  • Overcome communication and time-zone limitations while remaining hands-on

Project Deliverables

  • Website
  • Mobile apps (iOS and Android)
  • Django-based back-end
  • PostgreSQL database
  • QA and integration testing
  • DevOps / sys-admin setup
  • Front-end using AngularJS

Project Solution

The vendor designed and built a shared back-end platform using Python/Django and a front-end and mobile clients so the website and native iOS/Android apps used the same back end. They provided end-to-end engineering including development, QA and integration testing, some DevOps/sys-admin support, front-end work (including AngularJS) and project management; the vendor also supplied designers to work alongside developers to accelerate turnaround.

Project Outcome

  • Many iterations pushed since Jan 2015
  • High-quality development with very few critical bugs
  • Fast diagnosis and resolution of bugs
  • Strong project management and ongoing engagement
