Project Summary

TechWings (formerly Mentalstack) took over an unfinished mobile app project for a technology consulting firm and developed native Android and iOS applications while building out the backend API from designs and wireframes. Working with little-to-no documentation, the vendor quickly understood the existing codebase, improved usability, and delivered bug-free functionality. The engagement has been ongoing since September 2017, and the client praised the team's attention to detail, project management, and communication.

Key Challenges

  • The existing app was unfinished and missing many features
  • The team inherited an API and app with no documentation
  • The client needed a vendor to take over development and complete native apps and backend functionality

Project Deliverables

  • Native Android application
  • Native iOS application
  • Backend API

Project Solution

The vendor developed native Android and iOS applications and built out the backend API based on provided designs and wireframes. They held meetings with the client to understand the unfinished product and existing API (which lacked documentation) and proceeded to implement missing features such as news posting, member polling, and event functionality. The engagement has been managed through the vendor's managers, with time-tracked development via Upwork and internal reporting through HubSpot.

Project Outcome

  • The app is much more usable and is now spotless
  • The team understood and fixed functionality without documentation
  • Effective project management and communication via managers, help desk access, and Upwork time tracking
