Project Summary

MAK IT developed a mobile communication app for the Sigulda Municipality Development Agency to connect citizens with the municipality and promote local tourism and businesses. The app, available on iOS and Android, includes features such as a news timeline, event calendar, citizen ID card functionality and school catering payments. The app averages about 5,000 monthly users (Sigulda population ~12,000). MAK IT uses agile methodology, meets deadlines, and continues to maintain and evolve the product.

Key Challenges

  • Connect Sigulda citizens with the Municipality via a convenient communication channel.
  • Promote local tourism and businesses through the app.
  • Enable citizens to apply for ID cards via the app.
  • Provide online school catering payment functionality for parents.

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

The vendor provided a team of five specialists (project manager, iOS, Android, React Native developers, and a UX/UI designer) and used agile project management throughout. MAK IT continues to maintain and evolve the app post-launch.
