Project Summary

Solace Infotech developed native mobile apps and a website for an international online dating platform (NewMeet.com), implementing comprehensive geolocation features. The engagement ran from May 2011 to Jan. 2016 and included a website built on CodeIgniter plus native iOS (Swift) and Android (Java) apps. The vendor established structured project communication via email and Basecamp and maintained detailed task tracking. The platform grew by 30% to reach 300,000 users during the engagement.

Key Challenges

Create a new international brand using the same database.
Lack of internal development capabilities requiring outsourcing.

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application
Android mobile application
Web application built with CodeIgniter
Geolocation functionality

Project Solution

The vendor restarted development using native tools, delivering mobile applications first and then the website. They implemented complex geolocation functionality to surface regionally relevant users. For the website, Solace recommended and used CodeIgniter; the mobile apps were developed natively (iOS in Swift and Android in Java). The client coordinated primarily with a project manager and occasionally with developers and the founder/director for payments.

Project Outcome

300,000 users connected to the site.
30% increase in users since 2011.
Improved project management with Basecamp and daily updates.
