Fast ramp-up + Agile methodology to launch a mobile app within 6 months
This success story is about a European startup owning a platform where clients can quickly find a craftsman (less than 2 hours) from a network of trusted professionals available 24/7, no matter the problem users might have in their household (sink leak, plumbing, Internet, etc.), based on a business model inspired by Uber. They had an ambitious goal: get their mobile application ready for production within 6 months. Since the target market segment was already a hot zone, they needed to quickly and massively launch their product and decided to rely on Pentalog. We managed to ramp up a team of 10 mobile developers in less than 1 month and began to develop everything from scratch. Located in Iasi (Romania), the mobile team had to synchronize with a back-end and web team in Chisinau (Republic of Moldova). Our skilled experts have worked on:- 4 mobile apps (2 iOS apps and 2 Android apps)- 2 web responsive apps- 1 back-office- all background systems and logic, modular architecture integrated in the cloud and the front-endOur PO went to the client’s premises to help them clearly define specifications and translate their needs into workflows, specific tasks, and detailed user stories. He held various workshops with the client to share agile best practices, come up with the best functional and technical solutions and finally deliver an MVP ready for production.Ask for a quoteAmong the other few challenges of the project, our mobile team had to adapt to the fast changing requirements of the client and succeeded in implementing them on the run while preserving the high quality of deliverables.

In the following 2 months, things went really fast, our mobile experts proving to be very resourceful and inventive in making sure that the evolution of that database did not affect the final delivery. They managed to do it within deadline and budget.The final result was a secure, scalable and easy-to-use mobile app used by both clients and service providers.
