Project Summary

NerdzLab developed iOS and Android mobile applications for WhatSalon, a marketplace for hair and beauty establishments, implementing features such as booking calendars, inventory, financial reporting, expense management, and client management. The team used Swift, Objective-C and Kotlin and now provides ongoing backend development and maintenance. The vendor delivers functional solutions early, offers insightful suggestions during development, and the client reports a dedicated team that creates value.

Key Challenges

NerdzLab currently manages the client's backend development and services.
