Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt) took the client’s prototype and built a commercial iOS application, plus backend, web client and a browser extension, along with the database and admin interfaces. The vendor met deadlines, helped the app be accepted into the App Store on the first try, and produced a stable release with very few crashes. The client invested over $500,000 in the engagement and praised the team’s collaborative approach.

Key Challenges

  • Turn an early prototype into a commercial product
  • Build out backend systems and flesh out the frontend and web client
  • Implement a database and administrative pages while operating as a virtual extension of the client team

Project Deliverables

  • iOS app
  • Web client
  • Web browser extension
  • Database
  • Administrative pages
  • Prototypes and architecture recommendations

Project Solution

The vendor executed the transition from prototype to commercial product: building the iOS app, backend, web client and browser extension, and implementing the database and admin pages. They contributed framework recommendations, used Pivotal Tracker for issue management, and operated as a virtual extension of the client’s team with a dedicated team leader and multiple developers. The team ramped between 3 and up to 5–6 people over the engagement.

Project Outcome

  • App accepted into the App Store on the first try
  • Very few crashes reported and positive user reviews
  • Client invested over $500,000 in the engagement

Quality of Deliverables

“Vention (formerly iTechArt) met deadlines and provided value compared to other vendors. Their involvement got the app accepted into the App Store on the first try, with low crash reports. Their open and collaborative approach makes them a great asset, however, clients should know their project goals beforehand.”
