Project Summary

Volo built a cross-platform commodity trading platform (web, iOS, Android) for Trade Cloud Services, delivering the full product from scoping and technical requirements to backend, real-time chat, and cloud deployment. The vendor implemented .NET Core backend services, a complex chat system (MongoDB + SQL Server), and ensured cross-browser and mobile compatibility. The client praised the quality (noting an exceptionally low number of bugs), timely delivery, and ongoing partnership.
