Project Summary

STX Next supplied a dedicated team (developers, QA, and a product owner) to build an employee loan application using Python/Django for desktop and React Native for mobile. The app reached alpha and beta testing with several companies onboard, and the vendor’s strong QA focus produced minimal bugs. Communication via daily contact with the product owner and project tools kept the engagement stable despite some staffing setbacks.

Key Challenges

  • Needed to start quickly without a CTO or in-house IT team
  • Required an externally provided dedicated team to cover development, QA, and product ownership
  • Needed rapid onboarding and ability to operate with evolving requirements

Project Deliverables

  • Desktop version using Python Django framework
  • Android mobile app (React Native)
  • High-fidelity mobile wireframes and proposed design
  • Backend infrastructure and APIs
  • QA/testing and product-owner support

Project Solution

STX Next provided a dedicated team and used Python (Django) for the desktop version and React Native for the mobile app targeting Android devices. They proposed and built high-fidelity mobile wireframes, developed backend infrastructure and APIs, and supported QA and sprint-based agile delivery while collaborating closely with the client's internal product team via JIRA, Confluence, GitHub, Slack, and Hangouts.

Project Outcome

  • Launched a beta release with a couple of companies onboard and seven companies in testing
  • Backend development went smoothly while the mobile app faced early challenges with React Native
  • Strong QA focus resulted in minimal bugs and frequent communication with the product owner
  • Service delivery manager promptly replaced a departing product owner, minimizing disruption
