Project Summary

A startup hired ROCKETECH to develop a cross-platform mobile marketplace app that uses geolocation to facilitate service exchanges. ROCKETECH led discovery, graphic design, and full front- and backend development and delivered an MVP with some downloadable content. The engagement is currently paused due to budget overages and the client has not launched the business yet.

Key Challenges

Needed to develop an app without in-house developers
Founder began development but had to focus on other business aspects
Required deeper expertise in iOS development than the client could provide internally

Project Deliverables

Mobile app for iOS and Android
Graphic design assets and design schemes
Backend and frontend development
MVP (minimum viable product) with downloadable content

Project Solution

ROCKETECH ran a discovery phase and then built the mobile app from scratch based on the client's iOS sketches and design schemes. They were responsible for graphic design and both frontend and backend development. The vendor delivered a scrum-based development effort (team of ~10) to produce an iOS and Android marketplace app that uses geolocation to match and exchange services.

Project Outcome

Provided high-quality work and strong designs
Delivered an MVP with some downloadable content
Project remains unfinished due to budget overages, causing the engagement to be paused
Client has not launched the business/product yet

Quality of Deliverables

“ROCKETECH is knowledgeable, and they’ve delivered quality work and great designs. However, their lack of budget management has caused important overages, leading to putting a pause on the collaboration. As a result, the client doesn’t have a product yet, so their company isn’t operating.”
