Project Summary

Promatics Technologies worked from client mockups to build and launch an agriculture-focused Android app, assigning a team of three developers (one focused on PHP) and three testers. The app, launched to Google Play, has onboarded 198 sellers and 2,500 customers with strong engagement (7% daily, 25% weekly). The engagement began in late 2015 and remains ongoing; the client praised the vendor’s flexibility and availability but noted room for improvement in project/time management.

Key Challenges

Needed a technology partner because the company had limited resources
Required flexibility and extra hours to meet strict farming-event deadlines

Project Deliverables

Android app published on Google Play
Application developed from client mockups
QA/testing support (3 testers assigned)

Project Solution

Promatics Technologies developed the client’s agriculture application from provided mockups, collaborating to refine requirements and delivering an Android app published on Google Play. The vendor allocated 3 developers (including one PHP specialist) and 3 testers, worked extra hours around farming-event deadlines, and used Skype for design discussions. The engagement began via an initial Upwork trial and expanded to multiple projects over time.

Project Outcome

Onboarded 198 sellers and 2,500 customers
Achieved strong engagement: 7% daily users and 25% weekly users
Launched on Google Play and completed multiple project phases (a third project is ongoing)
Timelines were missed only about 5% of the time, typically by 1–2 days

Quality of Deliverables

The app handles 198 sellers and 2,500 customers. About 7% use it every day, and 25% use it every week. Their team worked flexible hours and was easy to reach so they could meet deadlines, and they missed only 5% of them, by 1 to 2 days, because of extra testing. Their project management could be better, but they're still very affordable.
