Client

Dachs, LLC

United States of America

Project Summary

SwingDev built a sleek, user-friendly iOS and Android mobile application for Dachs, LLC that connected dog owners with dog-walkers. The engagement included a complex frontend, backend, and integrated payment processing (Braintree), and SwingDev has provided ongoing support and hosting-related services (AWS). The vendor delivered the first version earlier than expected and under the projected cost, and the client highlighted the strong design and responsiveness of the team.

Key Challenges

Lack of in-house technical expertise to build a mobile application.
Need for a modern, sleek, and user-friendly design across owner and walker experiences.
Requirement for secure payment processing and easy account setup.
Finding a provider that balanced cost and quality.

Project Deliverables

Mobile apps (iOS and Android)
Backend server
Payment integration (Braintree)
User-facing interfaces for dog-owners and dog-walkers
Ongoing support and maintenance (hosting on AWS)

Project Solution

SwingDev designed and developed a complex mobile solution comprised of frontend mobile apps and a backend system, and integrated secure payment processing using Braintree. The work included separate user flows and interfaces for dog-owners (requestors) and dog-walkers (service providers), account/payment setup, and hosting/support infrastructure (AWS). SwingDev also provided ongoing support and product development, and worked closely with the client to translate a rough brief into a polished, user-friendly product.

Project Outcome

Delivered a user-friendly, intuitive application that made it easier for the client to drive their metrics.
Released the first version earlier than scheduled and under the projected cost.
