Project Summary

The Software House developed custom iOS and Android apps for Smartum to provide mobile access to employer-sponsored benefits. The apps allow users to log in, view balances and transactions, and search for locations that accept benefits. The Android app has around 11,000 downloads with a 90% retention rate, and the vendor continues to support feature enrichment post-launch.

Key Challenges

Create a mobile payment solution for employer-sponsored electronic benefits
Replace a university-built prototype with production-ready iOS and Android apps
Support multiple languages and manage translations effectively

Project Deliverables

iOS mobile application
Android mobile application
User authentication, balance and transaction viewing features
Location search for benefit acceptance
Replacement of the prototype with production-ready apps
Integration with an online translation management service

Project Solution

The Software House rebuilt and delivered two native mobile applications (iOS and Android) that allow Smartum users to log in, view balances and transactions, create transactions, and search for locations that accept benefits. They replaced an earlier university-built prototype with production-ready apps, developed iOS first and then Android alongside an iOS version two, and involved a small web team and project/sales managers for coordination. They also implemented a translation management solution to support multiple languages.

Project Outcome

11,000 downloads and a 90% retention rate
Even usage across both apps in the first 12 months
Delivered on time and on budget with high code quality and minimal bugs

Quality of Deliverables

“Google Play Store data reveals that the Android version has 11,000 downloads and a 90% retention rate, which far exceeds original projections. The project team communicates effectively, requires minimal supervision, and consistently produces clean code.”
