Project Summary

Polcode designed and developed a customized Symfony-based web platform from scratch, producing wireframes, UX and code to launch a minimum viable product. The MVP has over 6,000 registered users and has helped the startup progress toward securing investment. The team managed the project using GitHub and Redmine and translated the founders' marketing-led idea into a functioning product.

Key Challenges

Startup had no technical expertise
Needed to translate a business idea into a full technical brief and build a working platform
Co-founders came from marketing backgrounds and required a technical partner to own development

Project Deliverables

Fully customized Symfony-based web platform
Wireframes and UX/UI design
API integrations for automatic ticket purchasing and other services
Syndicate management system to allocate customers into syndicates
Third-party recurring billing/payment integration
Project brief and documentation

Project Solution

Polcode developed the project brief and built the platform from scratch using the Symfony framework. They delivered a fully customized website including wireframes, UX, and web design, implemented API integrations (including an automatic lottery ticket purchasing system), built a syndicate management system to allocate customers into syndicates, and integrated a third-party payment system for recurring billing. The engagement was staffed by a project manager and a core team of developers, with additional developers provided as needed.

Project Outcome

Over 6,000 registered customers
Minimum viable product helped the startup progress toward securing investment
High-quality code praised as superior to off-the-shelf enterprise software
Efficient project management using Skype, GitHub, and Redmine
