Project Summary

NerdzLab took over development of a fitness startup’s web and mobile platform from a previous contractor, evaluated the existing code, and rebuilt the product from scratch. Working with the client's in-house design and wireframes, the vendor implemented front- and backend systems (Laravel/PHP) and mobile components (React Native, Swift). The platform is stable, ready for launch, and has been well received by testers and early investors.

Key Challenges

  • Build native iOS and Android apps and a web platform
  • Recover from an underperforming previous contractor by evaluating and rebuilding the codebase

Project Deliverables

  • Native iOS and Android mobile apps
  • Web platform
  • Backend (Laravel/PHP)
  • Frontend and mobile components (React Native, Swift)
  • QA testing and ongoing feature updates

Project Solution

They evaluated the partially completed codebase from a previous contractor, recommended scrapping it, and rebuilt the product from scratch. The vendor collaborated with the client's design and wireframes, performing both frontend and backend development and ongoing testing. Development used Laravel (PHP) for backend work and React Native with Swift for mobile elements, with the team delivering feature improvements and QA support while communicating frequently via Slack and online meetings.
