Project Summary

A gig-economy company (formerly Frapp, rebranded Futwork.com) partnered with unicoconnect beginning in 2015 to build and iterate on its mobile and web products, recruit tech talent, and provide technical consulting. unicoconnect built the MVP Android app and website, helped choose the tech stack and architecture, and later supported a rebrand and team handover. The engagement produced strong results, including 200,000 Play Store downloads and ongoing operational support.

Project Solution

They built the full Android app and a B2B dashboard for employers to create jobs and manage hires, oversaw a rebrand migration to Futwork.com, performed a handover to the internal team, and have continued in a consultative and support role thereafter.

Project Outcome

MVP Android app reached 200,000 downloads (live on Play Store between 2015–2016).
Infrastructure was deployed on AWS with scalable settings, preventing issues as the company grew and enabling smooth pivots.
Most projects were delivered on time and unicoconnect provided ongoing support and successful handovers to the internal team.
