Project Summary
Squash Apps provided ongoing development and maintenance for a location-based business-sharing platform (StayLocal). They implemented a self-service portal, added geolocation-based redirects and integrated SendGrid, Google Analytics, Braintree, and MongoDB to extend functionality. The engagement increased user engagement metrics (thousands of posts and click metrics over 2%) and the client praised the team's communication and responsiveness.
Key Challenges
- Previous development partner produced sloppy work for most of the platform
- Need to complete the platform, correct mistakes, and fine-tune design elements
Project Deliverables
- Self-service web portal
- Geolocation redirect (Atmosfi) integration
- SendGrid integration
- Google Analytics integration
- Braintree integration

Project Solution
Squash Apps implemented the client's UI into a self-service portal, developed geolocation-based redirect functionality for the Atmosfi page, and integrated third-party services including SendGrid, Google Analytics, Braintree, and MongoDB. They continue to provide advisory support and minor fixes as the platform gains traction, working with two to three developers depending on task urgency.
Project Outcome
- Generated thousands of posts on the platform
- Achieved click metrics over 2%
