BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Startup founder.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire dev.family, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop a project from scratch that would help beauty specialists and their clients book beauty services online around the world. The design was ready, so the team was doing the development — cross-platform application, backend, application control panel.

SOLUTION

How did you select dev.family and what were the deciding factors?

We used recommendations.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The application has two parts: "master" and "client". The client can quickly search for a master by specialization, location, filter by reviews and price. One of the interesting things is the selection of time for recording. The system takes into account not only the free time of the master, but also the duration of the selected services.

There is a private messenger to clarify the details with the master and store all the beauty correspondence in one place. It's still more interesting on the master's side. The application performs 2 important functions at once: A new tool for attracting customers. All the masters are displayed on equal terms: customers see the profile, package of services, location, prices, rating based on reviews. Automated download scheduler.

Easy Style takes over the master's schedule completely, since it can take into account not only automatic requests from the application, but also manually added: regular customer records, requests on Instagram or by phone — everything will be stored in a single scheduler. And, of course, the application has reports and detailed statistics: the number of applications and earnings for the day, week, month and the whole year.

How many resources from the dev.family team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Backend, mobile, manager.
