Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt) developed and tested a native dialer app that provides users a dedicated business telephone number, working with an in-house designer to build the product for iOS and Android. The vendor acted as an extension of the client's team, providing developers and testers and participating in daily stand-ups. The team delivered the product on time and within budget, though the client recommended adding automated testing resources in the future.

Key Challenges

  • Deliver native iOS and Android apps before market launch
  • Require expert iOS and Android developers and a testing team

Project Deliverables

  • Native iOS mobile app (dialer and messaging)
  • Native Android mobile app (dialer and messaging)
  • SMS and photo messaging functionality
  • Contact management and threaded conversation UI
  • QA testing for mobile apps and website

Project Solution

iTechArt acted as an extension of the client's in-house team to develop a second-phone-number dialer application for iOS and Android. The vendor built native iOS and Android apps with dialer contact management, SMS discussion (including photo messaging), and threaded conversation views. iTechArt selected and provided the candidates for the engagement (1 iOS developer, 1 Android developer, and 2 testers), participated in daily stand-ups and day-to-day planning, and also tested the website the client was building in-house.

Project Outcome

  • Delivered the app on time and within budget
  • Positive customer reception; clients were big fans of the app
  • Vendor integrated effectively with the internal team (daily stand-ups, Slack)
  • Strong technical skill among several team members

Quality of Deliverables

Vention's (formerly iTechArt) flat structure allowed resources to work directly with their internal counterparts, resulting in a seamless process. The team’s devotion to the project was palpable, and they delivered an excellent product on time. iTechArt should consider adding resources for automated testing.
