Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt) developed native iOS and Android mobile apps and a backend cloud server for BeON Home’s security-lighting product, assigning specialized resources for each platform. The vendor provided onsite knowledge transfer, manual QA, and ongoing maintenance, enabling rapid feature implementation. The client praises the team’s code quality, responsiveness, and effective integration with the client’s processes.

Key Challenges

  • Difficulty recruiting qualified mobile engineers in Boston willing to accept startup compensation
  • Need for native iOS and Android apps to support Bluetooth communication with embedded devices
  • Requirement for flexible, scalable development support that could integrate closely with the startup team

Project Deliverables

  • iOS mobile app
  • Android mobile app
  • Backend cloud server for account management and support
  • Manual QA/testing
  • Documentation and on-site knowledge transfer
  • Ongoing maintenance and feature updates

Project Solution

The vendor built a native iOS app (Objective-C) and a native Android app (Java) integrated with the product’s Bluetooth-enabled lightbulbs, and developed a backend cloud server to manage accounts and technical support. One developer was assigned full-time to the iOS app (including a month onsite) and an Android developer collaborated to build the Android version; the team also provided QA (mostly manual) and cloud engineering support. Collaboration included onsite visits, regular video calls, Slack communication, and Trello for issue tracking, with dedicated resources who became integrated into the client’s team.

Project Outcome

  • The vendor delivered well-coded solutions quickly, enabling rapid feature rollout
  • Established an autonomous process with code reviews and QA that maintained high quality
  • Ongoing collaboration allowed the client to scale development capacity and ship new features faster
