Project Summary

Zealous System developed a cross-platform iOS and Android app, Barber’s Connect, that connects local customers with barber and tattoo shops and includes appointment scheduling. They assisted with marketing and product strategy, including naming, color schemes, and a subscription-based monetization model. The engagement is ongoing since April 2017 and the vendor has been responsive and met deadlines while preparing the app for release.

Quality of Deliverables

“Not yet launched, the app already generates excitement among participating vendors. Zealous System’s team honored deadlines, but still took time to guarantee successful deliverables. They played a crucial role in strategic development and were highly responsive to feedback and change requests.”
