Project Summary

Techugo provided frontend development for an iOS application for a legal research database, building the app from client-provided designs and integrating the client's APIs using Swift 3. The engagement excluded backend and design work, which the client retained internally. Despite an early project manager change, Techugo was accommodating, flexible on budget, and delivered work on milestone-driven schedule with low bug counts.

Key Challenges

Expand to mobile by developing an iOS application
The existing Android developer was unavailable to build the iOS app, requiring an external iOS development team

Project Deliverables

iOS frontend application for iPhone and iPad
Frontend implemented from client-provided designs
API integrations to the client's search engine
Production-ready iOS app
Dedicated developer, tester, and project coordination resourcing

Project Solution

Techugo developed the frontend of the client's iOS application from provided designs, implemented the UI in Swift 3, integrated the app with the client's existing APIs/search engine, and prepared the app for production. The vendor did not deliver backend or design work, as those components were managed by the client. The team provided a dedicated developer, tester, and project coordinator and used additional rotating resources when needed.

Project Outcome

The app is still in development, with milestone-driven progress and on-time deliveries
Two of four milestones completed and the team is working on milestone three
Work has been mostly free of bugs due to a dedicated tester and reuse of the client's web/Android implementations
Vendor was accommodating on budget and flexible with staffing and project management

Quality of Deliverables

“Despite a change in project management halfway through the project, Techugo was accommodating in seamlessly handing the project over to another team member. Their team is well-versed and experienced in various areas, and they managed and executed the project flexibly and reliably.”
