Project Summary

Techugo developed a location-based social networking and chat application for iOS and Android, creating mock-ups and iterative builds to refine requirements. The vendor delivered phase one and is finishing phase two; the engagement delivered significant time and cost savings compared to in-house development.

Key Challenges

Need for rapid deployment and a short development timeframe
Requirement for technical expertise to realize a relatively complex vision
Cost constraints leading to outsourcing the first phase

Project Deliverables

iOS and Android mobile applications
Geolocation-based points-of-interest feature
Mock-ups and UI screenshots
Intermediate development builds for review and testing

Project Solution

Techugo collaborated with the client to define requirements and produced mock-ups and screenshots for iterative review. They implemented the iOS and Android applications with a location-tracking core that surfaces nearby points of interest and media, delivered intermediate builds for testing, completed phase one, and have been implementing add-ons in phase two.

Project Outcome

Saved approximately $100,000 compared to in-house development
Reduced delivery time by about four months
Achieved a quicker turnaround and on-schedule intermediate deliveries
