Applover replaced a bare-bones web MVP with a two-sided education platform that replicates online banking experiences to teach financial literacy. The engagement included workshops, competitor research, UI/UX design and development of integrated teacher and student web platforms using PostgreSQL, React, and Python. The vendor helped transition the majority of the user base to the new solution and received very positive feedback from teachers and students.
