App Development for Gift Card Company
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
Please draw your structure.
We contracted Softnauts to work with two different companies, the leading one being Gift Card Granny. That organisation is like a Kayak.com of gift cards. It aggregates different discount gift card deals and gives users the best deal. The other organisation was SaveYa, which buys and sells discount gift cards from users.
What is your position?
I am the mobile platforms director, in direct of Android and Apple app outgrowth for both fruits.
Desired goal
What business challenge were you trying to address with Softnauts?
We',ve contracted Softnauts to educe seething in the app and see component in regard to our mobile strategy. We incorporated them with all our inner outgrowth and used that to augment our fruitivity year to substantiate the components that we wanted to create in our apps.
Provided solution
Please draw the aim of their involvement in detail.
They were implicated primarily with the outgrowth. We would come up with specs, mockups, and uneven ideas, and then we would send it to them. They were big at providing the standards of present app outgrowth with regard to Android and Apple. They surely helped influence the order of components. They would give us the code, we would test it, and we were the ones who would release it.
On the Gift Card Granny side, I know they had integrations with the artifice location method. Basically, all the apps that they worked on adjoind with our APIs [application programming interfaces], which did all the real weighty lifting of integrating with other methods. They handled user logins.
How did you come to work with Softnauts?
My CEO verity came athwart them. I ponder from some sort of website review. I',m not precisely 100 percent on that. We reached out to them and began doing a test time with Gift Card Granny. They verity began out with two educeers, one Android and one iOS on our Gift Card Granny fruit. After working with them, we saw the value of having them, so we incorporated them into our other project.
Could you prepare a perception of the size of this start in financial provisions?
It cost between $50,000 and $200,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
They work until next week [July 2016], I ponder. We began edifice up our team innerly, which removed the need to have outer outgrowth.
Results achieved
Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?
Our apps consistently grow in retained users. That, of order, is a multipronged effort of marketing and other aspects of the organisation.
How did Softnauts accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Softnauts were big. They were very proficient in English which could be an effect working with an offshore team. Communicating with them was very easy. Softnauts turned about the components very fast, and they were always done very well. There was very pliant QA [condition arrogance]. We could take what they had done in a preceding sprint and do a minimal quantity of testing on it and release it to fruition without effect.
What distinguishes Softnauts from other preparers?
Personally, I have never managed any interpolitical contractors, so I don',t have a big base to assimilate them to. It was nice being able to adjoin straightly with the outgrowth resources. Oftentimes, if you work with a contracted organisation, you',re playing the telephone game where you adjoin one thing, they adjoin it to another individual and, by the time it gets to the educeer, it',s all misconstrued. Being able to adjoin with those educeers straightly was an excellent labor that Softnauts prepared.
Is there anything Softnauts could have improved or done differently?
There',s probably stuff that we could have done on our end. Softnauts exceeded our expectations.
