Project Summary

STX Next converted existing specs and mock-ups into an auction-driven MVP with a Django/Python backend and an Angular 2 frontend, delivering the project in a 5–6-week sprint. The solution includes an admin panel, user registration, Stripe integration and an auction algorithm. Despite remote work, STX integrated smoothly with the client's internal team, communicated effectively, and delivered a reliable product that is attracting users.

Key Challenges

  • Build an auction platform quickly for market research purposes
  • Lack of in-house capacity to meet the desired timeframe
  • Needed to outsource the entire project to deliver an MVP on schedule

Project Deliverables

  • Online auction MVP (frontend and backend)
  • Admin panel
  • User registration and sign-up
  • Stripe payment integration
  • Auction algorithm to determine winner and calculate price
  • Source code delivered via Bitbucket with JIRA-based workflow

Project Solution

Over a 5–6-week engagement, STX Next developed the entire frontend and backend up to an MVP using Angular 2 on the frontend and Django/Python on the backend. They implemented user registration, Stripe payment integration, an admin panel for management, and a complex auction algorithm to select winners and compute prices. STX worked with the client's provided specifications and mockups, delivered source code via Bitbucket, used JIRA for tracking, and remained involved through one week after launch before the client took the project in-house.

Project Outcome

  • Good traction with users and a stable platform
  • Performance and reliability met client expectations
  • Productivity comparable to the client's in-house team
  • Transparent code and progress sharing via JIRA and Bitbucket
