Albany, United States of America

Project Summary

Onix-Systems built an iOS app from the client's wireframe that reads messages aloud and developed its complex backend; the project is currently in closed beta with a public beta planned. The client (messageLOUD) previously had a successful Android app and hired Onix-Systems after other developers called the iOS scope impossible. The vendor has been praised for solving extreme technical challenges and for strong project management.

Key Challenges

Build an iOS app with read-aloud capabilities that did not previously exist on iOS
Overcome significant technical challenges other developers considered impossible

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application that reads messages aloud
Backend with complex server-side architecture

Project Solution

Onix-Systems implemented an iOS application that reads messages aloud from the client-provided wireframe and developed the accompanying backend with a complex server-side architecture. The vendor assembled a four-person core team (back and frontend developers, a tester, and a project manager) and worked primarily through the project manager. The engagement began after initial contracting via UpWork and required overcoming technical challenges that other developers had deemed impossible.

Project Outcome

Closed beta with a planned transition to a public beta in the near term
Functional app that achieved technical goals others deemed impossible
Excellent project management with ticketing via Redmine
