Project Summary

Qubika (formerly December Labs) led UI design and development for Biostrap's Bluetooth-enabled health and fitness wearable apps. They took ownership of the iOS and Android UIs, delivering high-quality, well-structured UI code while integrating into the client's processes. The engagement is ongoing and characterized by fast delivery, responsiveness, and close collaboration using tools like JIRA.

Key Challenges

Tight launch deadlines and imminent product launch
Insufficient internal UI resources as developers focused on backend/service work
Need for dedicated UI developers to meet timelines and continuously add features

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile app UI
Android mobile app UI
Clean, well-structured UI code and UI element implementations

Project Solution

The vendor was hired to develop and take ownership of the iOS and Android UIs for the client's wearable health apps. They provided dedicated developers (initially one iOS and one Android), wrote UI code using Swift (iOS/Xcode), and temporarily expanded Android staffing to accelerate parity with iOS development. They followed the client's processes, used JIRA for task management, and integrated as regular team members under an assigned project manager.

Project Outcome

Increased development speed with developers completing tasks quickly
High code quality and well-structured UI implementations
Smooth integration into the client's workflow and tools (JIRA) with an assigned project manager
Responsive and flexible support, including occasional out-of-hours assistance

Quality of Deliverables

“Qubika's (formerly December Labs') developers are able to balance speed with quality, making them ideal for startups and companies with tight timelines. They deliver solid code while producing quality UI design. While December Labs is not cheap, they do provide excellent results and flexibility.”
