Project Summary

Grey Chain Technology redeveloped an underperforming mobile app for an investment management firm, delivering iOS and Android versions and adding new features and functionality. The team launched the new app in Sep. 2021 and the client praised the vendor's communication, responsiveness, and adherence to modern app architecture practices; measurable business outcomes were not yet available at the time of the review.

Key Challenges

Existing app failed multiple business metrics
App was clunky, difficult to update, and relied on a third-party platform with extensive custom code
Client wanted a modern best-practice rebuild and new functionality that could not be accommodated by the old platform

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application
Android mobile application
Cloud database integration
APIs to support data flows from AWS EC2
Push notification support
User accounts and permission management
Biometric login support
App usage analytics
Portfolio manager with financial formulas

Project Solution

The vendor delivered a ground-up refresh of the product with a modern design and architecture, producing native iOS and Android apps tied to a cloud database. They built APIs to accept data pushes from an instance hosted in AWS EC2 and implemented features including push notifications, user accounts with permission-based functionality, biometric login, app analytics, and an in-app portfolio manager with standardized financial formulas. The engagement was iterative and flexible to accommodate new feature ideas and changes.

Project Outcome

App launched but measurable business outcomes were not yet available a week after launch
Client reported strong communication, responsiveness, and realistic timelines from the vendor
Client praised the vendor's grasp of modern app architecture and system design
