Project Summary

Zignuts Technolab developed two native mobile apps, a backend, and a web application for a family social networking platform focused on parents. The vendor implemented the full technology stack (Swift, Java, Vue.js/Nuxt, Laravel, MySQL, AWS) and delivered features including user and provider registration, event/class listings, search, booking and payments. The product launched after a closed beta and, within eight months of engagement, achieved significant user adoption in Germany.

Key Challenges
