Project Summary

Waverley served as an outsourced development team for a multinational fashion apparel retailer, delivering mobile apps (including a CRM-integrated consumer engagement app) and a web platform for licensee and contract management. The vendor proved technically capable, quickly learning new stacks such as Java and .NET, integrated well despite being remote, and expanded from three to six dedicated team members over the engagement.

Key Challenges

The client lacked internal capabilities to complete mobile app projects and needed a partner for phases two and three of development.
The client needed to replace or continue development after being uncomfortable with the initial vendor for phase one.

Project Deliverables

Mobile app for consumer engagement with CRM integration
Web platform to manage licensees' activity, contracts, and product approvals
Dedicated development team (project manager, senior and junior developers) assigned to the client

Project Solution

Waverley developed a mobile consumer engagement app with CRM integration and a web platform for managing licensees, contracts, and product approvals. They started with three developers and expanded to a six-person dedicated team (including a project manager, three senior developers and two junior developers). The team picked up unfamiliar technologies such as Java and .NET as required and delivered phase two of the startup project and subsequent initiatives.

Project Outcome

The client reported high satisfaction with the quality of Waverley's development and technical skills.
Time-sensitive projects were delivered on schedule, including work after the team learned new technologies.
The vendor became integrated into the client's team and is considered part of their organization.
