Client

GiveTide

New York City, United States of America

Project Summary

Rootstrap developed an iOS mobile app for GiveTide, a charitable-giving startup, beginning with a prototype and then building the full product after the client secured funding. The team integrated multiple APIs into the iOS app and delivered features the client lacked the technical skills to build. The app exceeded expectations, launched in October 2017, and led to an ongoing collaboration characterized by organized communication and high-quality results.

Key Challenges

Develop a prototype before securing funding.
Build features the client lacked the technical skills to implement.

Project Deliverables

Prototype mobile app
Full iOS mobile app
Integration of multiple APIs
Additional features the client lacked technical skills to build

Project Solution

Rootstrap built the client's mobile app, starting with a prototype and, after the client received funding, continuing to develop the full iOS app. The team integrated multiple third-party APIs into the iOS app and implemented additional features the client could not build internally. The engagement included a consistent project manager as the main point of contact and ongoing post-launch work.

Project Outcome

Rootstrap’s work was described as flawless and consistently delivered value.
The app exceeded expectations and resulted in an ongoing collaboration.
Communication and project management were effective, using Slack and Zoom/Google Hangouts with an organized team.
