Project Summary

PEARL was hired by an education platform to build an iOS and Android mobile app and a web admin panel using client-provided Figma and Adobe XD designs to be developed with Flutter. The vendor struggled to interpret the designs, missed deadlines, and ultimately delivered a non-functional app after a significantly delayed period. The client reported failed delivery against an initial 25-day commitment and halted the project after receiving an unusable product.

Key Challenges

Build Android and iOS applications
Build a web admin panel
Implement client-provided Figma/Adobe XD designs in Flutter

Project Deliverables

Android and iOS mobile app
Web admin panel
Implementation of client-provided Figma/Adobe XD designs in Flutter

Project Solution

PEARL agreed to develop a live-video education app (Android and iOS) and a web admin panel using the client's Figma and Adobe XD designs, implementing the app in Flutter. The vendor requested half the payment up front, attempted to upsell a paid API, and was expected to code screens from the provided designs. According to the client, the vendor failed to design screens in Figma, could not code the provided Adobe XD designs in Flutter, and made no timely progress.

Project Outcome

Vendor failed to design screens in Figma or implement Adobe XD designs in Flutter
Committed to 25 days but took approximately 150 days and delivered a non-functional app
Client halted the project and reported financial loss and no usable delivery
