Client

Clonar

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Project Summary

SapientPro built the frontend of a native iOS app for Clonar using provided wireframes and product specifications while the client’s in-house team developed the backend. The engagement focused on UX/design and frontend implementation for iOS, and the team (a project manager plus three developers) completed development in Feb. 2018. Communication was strong, the vendor met deadlines, and the product entered testing though it had not yet launched.

Key Challenges

Client lacked frontend expertise and needed a native iOS app
Client's internal team focused on backend development and required an external frontend partner

Project Deliverables

Native iOS frontend
UX/Design for the iOS app
Frontend integrated with the client's in-house backend

Project Solution

SapientPro's scope was limited to frontend development: they implemented UX/design and the native iOS frontend from provided product specifications and wireframes and ensured it could integrate with the client’s in-house backend. The engagement team included a project manager and three developers. The client invested approximately $2,500–$3,000 and development ran from Dec. 2017 to early Feb. 2018, after which the product entered testing.

Project Outcome

App completed and undergoing testing; not yet launched
High-quality work that closely matched the client's expectations
Excellent communication and reliable delivery of deadlines despite scope creep

Quality of Deliverables

“A professional approach made the team very pleasant to work with. Despite some scope creep, the team delivered high-quality work that met all specifications. Post-development work was not clearly defined in the beginning of the project, but communication was extremely effective overall.”
