Project Summary

Vention (formerly iTechArt) provided full-stack Python development to evolve an MVP into a scalable multi-platform marketplace trading app with secure user verification and complex financial instrumentation. The vendor built backend and frontend components, a CMS, and onboarding flows for iOS and web, and their work attracted strong pre-launch interest including tradeshow exposure and a large waiting list. The product has shown improved session length and stickiness, and user growth accelerated during events.

Key Challenges

  • Build a multi-platform application to enable users of all income levels to participate in an opaque marketplace
  • Replace an expensive prior vendor and hand off full backend and frontend development to an experienced cross-disciplined team
  • Create a custom end-to-end trading platform and a secure verification process for onboarding investors

Project Deliverables

  • Python-based backend
  • CMS and content-authoring system
  • iOS mobile app
  • Web application
  • User onboarding and verification system
  • Architecture documentation

Project Solution

The vendor took the client’s basic requirements and crafted a multi-release development plan for mobile and web. They built a secure Python-based backend framework, implemented the CMS and content-authoring system, and developed onboarding flows in the iOS app. The team delivered iterative builds, applied architecture documentation and production files, and provided ad-hoc conceptual solutions; currently two dedicated engineers (frontend and backend) plus a product manager support the engagement.

Project Outcome

  • Increased user base 3x over the course of 10 days
  • Achieved a ~5,000-user waiting list and targeting a 10,000-user list
  • Improved session length, stickiness, and return-user behavior attributed to vendor work
  • Delivered a tradeshow build that functioned reliably despite spotty internet

Quality of Deliverables

“The pre-launch web and iOS solution attracted outstanding feedback from both initial tradeshow exposure and the 5,000-user waiting list due to its streamlined UI. Vention's (formerly iTechArt) improvisational design skills, flexible workflow, and accessibility despite time differences continue to impress.”
