Project Summary

GrayCell Technologies served as a long-term coding partner, providing developers in SQL, PHP, Java and native mobile to build an educational marketplace featuring video, document exchange, and KYC verification. The client praised GrayCell's communication and strong project/account management and noted substantial improvements in QA over the course of the engagement.

Project Solution

GrayCell supplied dedicated developers across PHP, Java, native mobile (iOS and Android), HTML and SQL and worked as an outsourced extension of the client's in-house teams. They developed a custom educational marketplace that included loyalty and referral modules, an online classroom with video/audio/two-way interactive whiteboard and live document exchange, and a 60-second KYC verification linked to government departments. The engagement also included QA and iterative testing, and GrayCell provided staff who worked alongside the client's teams across multiple concurrent projects.
