Project Summary

QBurst provided long-term team augmentation and engineering for a cloud-based property management system, supporting design, architecture, and iterative product enhancements. They translated in-house mockups into working UI, built an overlay module (Rover PMS Overlay) and mobile apps, and helped evolve the platform into a standalone PMS with payments and channel integration. Installations grew from zero at project start to around 200, and the vendor maintained a stable offshore team integrated with the client's global product organization.

Key Challenges

Limited funding when starting the business
Needed an affordable partner to prototype and develop the product

Project Deliverables

Rover PMS Overlay module
iOS mobile app
Android mobile app
UI layer on top of existing PMS
Standalone property management system (PMS)
Integrations with third-party channels and payment features

Project Solution

QBurst supported the design, architecture, and ongoing engineering of a cloud-based property management platform. They translated the client's mockups into HTML/CSS, built an overlay module (Rover PMS Overlay) to sit on top of existing PMS systems, and developed native iOS and Android apps. Over time they added payments functionality and helped evolve the platform into a standalone PMS, provided offshore development resources from India, and supported server management and cloud hosting.

Project Outcome

Product installations grew from zero to around 200
No developer attrition observed; the QBurst team remained stable and consistent over time
Agile two-week sprint cycles with cross-timezone collaboration and adjusted schedules enabled continuous delivery
