Project Summary

Railsware served as the full product and R&D team for a tennis-business startup, building an enterprise application to manage reservations, payment processing, and administrative tasks. The engagement covered inception, prioritization, scoping, wireframing, design, and coding from MVP through v2.0, delivered with low bug volume and strong adherence to agile practices.

Key Challenges

Required a working prototype in four months to serve signed customers
Could not hire and train enough staff quickly to build the product
Needed significant manpower on short notice within a modest budget

Project Deliverables

Product inception and prioritization
Wireframes
Design
Backend and frontend code
MVP and v2.0

Project Solution

Railsware acted as the client's full product and R&D team, running an inception process in Kiev to define use cases, prioritize features, and scope work. They produced wireframes and designs and executed full-cycle development (back-end and front-end), iterating from an MVP to a v2.0. The engagement included ongoing code execution, rework cycles, QA resource support, and coordination with a US consultant to ensure sustainable code.

Project Outcome

Order of magnitude fewer bug tickets than other startups
Software had strong integrity and reliably tracked customers and revenue
Fast-paced development rhythm with daily syncs enabling timely iterations
Continued support after formal completion (unpaid support)
