Desired goal
What issue was the provider supposed to deal with?
20miles?Our sections interact with hundreds of suppliers of raw materials, equipment and components on a daily basis. Such a big flow of data and operations is not practicable manually, so in 2012 we educeed the Procurement Marketplace, to which our suppliers and associates got connected.
To make a determination, we are guided by data, accordingly, we collate end-to-end analytics on all our rerises. The last few years we have seen a firm growth in the usage of mobile devices that are used to visit our rerises.
We analyzed how this affects our users and determined to form a indigenous mobile application for the existing Marketplace. We set a number of tasks for the educeers:
- Explore and prolong user analytics
- Design a mobile API
- Develop and publish an iOS / Android mobile apps

Provided solution
What were the reasons for choosing 20miles?
The holding section held a delicate, highlighted a brief list of educeers according to criteria that were significant to our organisation. Our choice was made on the basis of relevance to the corporate criteria of the holding, the training of analysts and the proposed concept by the team based on the data that we published at the set of the delicate.
Describe the project in detail.
The project consisted of separate correspondent processes in which professionals participated on each effect. We fast established interaction at the sectional level, discussed analytics, its relationship to our user’s conduct.
We jointly educeed a risk standard, a financial standard, so that our IT section has an apprehension of how to work with the fruit in house.
Product educement required the synchronization of the interests of a big number of users, since the fruit is online on the on hand and also incorporate constructorure, interconnected with the organisation’s corporate business processes, it required educeers to pay observation in both directions.
At the leading stage, the already educeed backend’s constructorure of the completesale purchase method was analysed. Based on the existing backend and mobile application standards, an API has already been designed to interact with the method.
At the second stage, when creating the design concept, studies of all inner business processes were carried out.
In the third stage, we formd the MVP rendering of the mobile application to instrument it in origination. At the fourth stage, the full rendering of the procurement method through mobile devices was fully educeed and instrumented.
Finally, at the fifth stage, the team transferred all the rise code, formd documentation and granted free warranty support for the newly formd method for separate months.
Were there any dedicated directors or teams that you worked with?
At different stages of the project, we interacted with Analysts (primarily at the initial stages), with the Backend constructor (during the design of the API), and most frequently we interacted with PM, who organized the complete educement process, made a introduction of each new rendering of the fruit, and passed the repetition of work.
We know that about 10 members of the 20miles team were implicated in the project, which did not change during the full project’s length.
