Project Summary

An SEO company engaged Paras Technologies to build a B2B mobile application. The engagement agreed a MEAN-stack implementation and six fixed-price milestones, but the project encountered serious disputes: the vendor requested additional funds mid-project, communication broke down, and the client reported significant delays, cancellation, and financial loss.

Key Challenges

Deliver a B2B app for service businesses within an agreed fixed-price scope.
Adhere to the agreed MEAN-stack technology and six milestone schedule.
Manage scope, cost disputes, and poor communication that led to delays and cancellation.

Project Deliverables

B2B mobile application
MEAN-stack codebase (MongoDB/Express/Angular/Node)
Six fixed-price milestone deliverables

Project Solution

The vendor was selected via Freelancer.com and agreed to implement the project using the MEAN stack with six fixed-price milestones. The scope was to build a B2B app for service businesses; the vendor engaged a small team (planned 7 people) to deliver the work. Midway through development the vendor attempted to change the stack and repeatedly requested additional payment, which the client disputes.

Project Outcome

The project was cancelled after disputes over additional fees.
The client experienced a roughly five-month delay and financial losses; some funds were later refunded by the platform.
The client reported poor communication and inability to complete the agreed milestones.
