Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope was for a revamped Play With Mutts platform that allows Pet Parents to list their dogs, set availability, receive playtime requests, approve or decline appointments, and get paid through Stripe Connect. Players would be able to create accounts, browse available dogs, search by location, request 30, 60, or 90-minute play sessions, pay through the platform, and manage their upcoming or past appointments. The platform also needed to preserve the supervised-play model. Pet Parents remain present during sessions, and the service is framed around play, companionship, and safe interaction rather than unsupervised pet sitting or boarding. Key deliverables The user account and role system should support separate Pet Parent and Player experiences. The rebuilt platform needed role-based onboarding so that each user could choose whether they were joining as a Pet Parent, a Player, or potentially both. The Pet Parent experience needed to lead users toward creating a dog listing, setting availability, and connecting Stripe. The Player experience needed to lead users toward browsing dogs, requesting playtimes, and managing appointments. The dog listing system should allow Pet Parents to create and manage multiple dog profiles. Pet Parents needed the ability to create, edit, and manage listings for one or more dogs. Each listing needed dog-specific details such as name, photos, location, personality, play preferences, session rules, pricing, and availability. The listing detail page needed to act as the main conversion page where Players could learn about the dog and request a playtime. The browse and search experience should make available dogs easy to find. The scope included a public browsing experience where Players could search for dogs by location, including state and city. The search experience also needed to handle sparse inventory gracefully, including an “All States” style fallback or broader browsing option so visitors were not met with empty results too easily. Browse-related pages were also part of the SEO posture because public dog listings could help make the platform discoverable. The scheduling system should support simple, structured appointment requests. Players needed to be able to request playtimes based on the Pet Parent’s availability. The system needed to support 30, 60, and 90-minute appointment durations. Appointment records needed to store the Pet Parent, Player, dog listing, requested start time, duration, status, payment status, Stripe identifiers, and payout status. The appointment flow needed to prevent obvious conflicts, such as overlapping confirmed appointments. The appointment workflow should support the full request lifecycle. The MVP appointment lifecycle needed statuses such as Requested, Confirmed, Declined, Canceled, and Completed. A Player submits a request, the Pet Parent reviews it, and the Pet Parent can approve, decline, or potentially suggest a different time. Confirmed appointments should show on each user’s dashboard, while completed appointments should become part of appointment history. The payment system should use Stripe for customer payments and provider payouts. The scope included Stripe payment processing at the time of request, along with Stripe Connect for Pet Parent payouts. The prior payment model used a platform fee, with the Pet Parent receiving the remainder after the platform’s share. The scope also included storing PaymentIntent identifiers, associating payments with appointment records, handling payment status changes through webhooks, and triggering payouts only after the required conditions were met. The payout workflow should protect the platform before releasing funds. Payouts were not meant to be immediate at the moment of booking. The system needed backend logic to release funds after the appointment was completed and after funds were settled or otherwise safe to transfer. This deliverable was important because it reduced the risk of paying out before a refund, cancellation, or payment failure issue was resolved. The cancellation and refund rules should enforce the 30-minute cutoff. The platform needed a cancellation policy tied to the appointment start time. Players should not be able to cancel for a refund inside the 30-minute cutoff window. Pet Parent cancellations would generally trigger a refund to the Player. The workflow needed to show clear messaging, process refunds when applicable, avoid refunds when the policy blocks them, and send cancellation notifications to the relevant parties. The dashboard experience should give each user a clear command center. Pet Parents needed a dashboard for managing dog listings, availability, appointment requests, confirmed appointments, and Stripe onboarding. Players needed a dashboard for viewing requested, confirmed, canceled, and completed playtimes. Each dashboard needed to expose only the information relevant to that user’s role and permissions. The messaging or contact flow should keep communication appointment-specific. The scope discussed communication around appointments rather than an open-ended social messaging system. The purpose was to let Pet Parents and Players coordinate session details while keeping the interaction tied to a booking. This could include appointment-specific messages, confirmation emails, cancellation emails, and links back to the relevant profile or appointment detail page. The Stripe onboarding flow should allow Pet Parents to connect payout accounts. Pet Parents needed a way to create or connect a Stripe Express account, complete onboarding, and return to the platform. The platform needed to store the Stripe account ID on the user record and show whether payout onboarding was complete. A login link or account management link was also part of the expected provider experience. The platform should include privacy, safety, and permission controls. The rebuild needed privacy rules so users could only access the data they were allowed to see. Players should not be able to view other Players’ private appointment data, and Pet Parents should only see information related to their listings and appointments. Admin-level data access needed to remain separate from normal user access. The admin and support workflows should support basic marketplace operations. The MVP scope included enough admin capability to review users, listings, appointments, payment issues, cancellations, and support concerns. Disputes were discussed as a possible MVP or later-phase feature. The practical recommendation was likely to keep formal disputes lightweight in MVP and handle them through support, then build a structured dispute system later once real usage patterns were known. The legal and policy pages should make the platform launch-ready. The scope included public-facing documentation such as Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cancellation Policy, Safety Guidelines, Security Information, About Us, Contact, and Help content. These pages were important because Play With Mutts involves payments, user profiles, appointments, dog interactions, and liability-sensitive scenarios. The SEO and public-page structure should support discoverability. The rebuilt site needed indexable public pages such as the home page, browse/search page, dog profile or listing pages, About, Help, Contact, Privacy Policy, Terms, and Security Information. Non-public pages such as dashboards, inboxes, admin pages, account pages, and payment pages should not be indexed. The scope also included metadata, page titles, descriptions, and clearer calls to action. The notification system should support key transactional emails. The platform needed automated emails for important actions, including welcome messages, appointment requests, appointment confirmations, cancellations, declined requests, and potentially payout or account-related notices. These emails needed to send users back to the appropriate listing, profile, or dashboard page. The launch readiness work should include testing, cleanup, and handoff. The final deliverables needed testing across the main user journeys. That included signup, role selection, dog listing creation, search, appointment request, payment, approval, cancellation, refund, payout, email notifications, Stripe onboarding, and dashboard visibility. The scope also included cleaning up workflows, resolving broken redirects or popups, checking mobile responsiveness, and documenting core admin operations. MVP deliverables versus later-phase items The MVP should include account creation, role-based onboarding, dog listings, browse/search, appointment requests, Stripe payments, Stripe Connect onboarding, dashboards, cancellation/refund logic, basic notifications, policy pages, and admin review capability. Later-phase items could include formal disputes, reviews and ratings, richer messaging, advanced availability rules, stronger identity verification, promotional tools, referral programs, subscriptions or premium listings, analytics dashboards for Pet Parents, and expanded trust-and-safety automation.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of PursuitTeam.ai, an AI-powered business development and capture management services company for government contractors. We help clients automate and optimize processes to find, qualify, and win more government contracts.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RapidDev?

We needed to bring the stage one MVP of BD Signal™ from concept into a working product under an aggressive timeline. BD Signal™ is an AI-powered opportunity intelligence platform designed to help government contractors identify, evaluate, and prioritize the right pursuits by matching live opportunity data against contractor profiles, capabilities, NAICS codes, agency targets, past performance, and other fit criteria.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RapidDev has helped us build the stage one MVP of BD Signal™. The team has built functionality around opportunity ingestion, contractor-profile matching, AI-assisted scoring, and pursue/pass recommendations — the core components we need to validate the stage one product vision. RapidDev has also built the following features:

• SAM.gov integration: Connect to SAM.gov public API, manual trigger to pull RFIs/RFPs, map response to opportunity card schema
• Data cleanup: Fix blank fields and UNKNOWN-IDENTIFIER issues across existing opportunity cards, normalize field mapping from API response 
• Company profile form: Build form UI (NAICS codes, capabilities, contract vehicles, certifications, past performance, disqualifiers, agency targets), save profile to DB/local storage
• AI scoring engine: Office hours for technical questions, implementation review, and team enablement
• Opportunity card UI: Display scored cards with score badge, fit sary, rationale, pursue/pass tag, clean and demo-ready layout
• Demo flow and polish: End-to-end QA of the full demo path (load profile → pull opps → score → show cards), fix visual inconsistencies, loading states

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from RapidDev, including Rahul (Partner), Fabian (Project Manager), and Ali (Software Engineer).

How did you come to work with RapidDev?

I met Matt and his team at an industry event, where we started discussing AI. We chose RapidDev because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, they had a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, and their company values aligned with ours.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with RapidDev in May 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We have a live stage one MVP that we can demo with real data and present to potential customers. We’ve also seen increased interest from potential customers. RapidDev’s work has given PursuitTeam.ai a tangible product foundation and helped us accelerate conversations around pilots, partnerships, and future stage two development.

How did RapidDev perform from a project management standpoint?

RapidDev has delivered on time. We meet regularly to discuss progress and work through any operational blockers. Our primary forms of communication are virtual meetings and emails or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

RapidDev’s speed, flexibility, and willingness to engage with a business problem that requires more than just coding stand out. The team is very easy to work with and extremely open to new ideas and methods. RapidDev has also worked directly with my internal technical partner, who started the platform build, to glean his institutional knowledge.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend RapidDev to startups, founders, and product teams that need a fast, capable technical partner to help bring an MVP to life, especially when speed, collaboration, and practical execution matter.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at Sensei Sync, an all-in-one platform that helps martial arts coaches manage bookings, payments, and student progress while attracting and retaining more students.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire RapidDev to accomplish for Sensei Sync?

I hired RapidDev to take my idea and turn it into a fully built-out application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The team built the entire application from the ground up, handling everything from initial concept to design and full functionality. We started with a raw idea and worked together to shape it into clear, ROI-driven features that set us up for a strong and focused MVP. From there, they designed the app in Figma—creating something that not only looks great but is also intuitive and easy to use. Once the design was finalized, they brought it to life in Bubble, building out all the functionality with a high level of precision and attention to detail. What really stood out was how collaborative the process felt. At every stage, they actively incorporated my feedback, continuously refining and improving the product. In many ways, they elevated the app beyond what I originally imagined, delivering something far more polished and impactful than I thought possible.

What is the team composition?

We’ve had the opportunity to work closely with an outstanding team, including Paul (our project manager), Craig (Co-Founder), and Eugene (Project Manager). Each of them brought a high level of expertise, professionalism, and dedication to the project. Behind them is also a talented group of designers and engineers who played a key role in bringing everything together. In particular, Paul was instrumental throughout the entire process. He effectively spearheaded the project, ensuring everything stayed organized, on track, and moving forward smoothly. His ability to manage timelines, communicate clearly, and coordinate across the team made a huge difference in the overall experience. The collaboration felt seamless, and it was clear that everyone involved was aligned on delivering a high-quality end product.

How did you come to work with RapidDev?

I had previously collaborated with RapidDev, which made the decision to work with them again an easy one. Compared to other options, they stood out for several key reasons. Their pricing was well aligned with our budget, offering strong value without compromising on quality. Just as importantly, they were an excellent culture fit—their team was easy to communicate with, highly collaborative, and genuinely invested in the success of the project. Beyond cost and culture, their company values closely matched our own, which made the partnership feel aligned from day one. They approached the project with integrity, transparency, and a clear commitment to delivering meaningful results. Altogether, RapidDev provided a level of value, trust, and alignment that set them apart from other vendors we considered.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June of 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

RapidDev has done an incredible job bringing this app to life—delivering a final product that far exceeds what I originally hoped for. From both a functionality and design standpoint, the app feels polished, intuitive, and thoughtfully built. What’s been especially validating is the overwhelmingly positive feedback we’ve received from users during beta testing. Many have specifically called out how easy the app is to use and how clean, well-structured, and intentional the design feels. It’s clear that RapidDev didn’t just build what was asked—they elevated the entire experience, creating something that truly resonates with users.

How did RapidDev perform from a project management standpoint?

RapidDev consistently delivered on time and maintained clear, reliable communication throughout the entire process. I was kept in the loop at every stage, which made the experience feel smooth and well-managed from start to finish. We primarily communicated through email and messaging apps, and the team was always responsive and easy to reach. Paul, in particular, stood out—he was incredibly proactive, quick to respond, and highly effective at incorporating feedback. Any suggestions or changes I had were implemented quickly and thoughtfully, without friction. His ability to move fast while maintaining quality and clarity made a huge impact on the overall success of the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

RapidDev provides exceptional customer service, and the entire team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. They’re approachable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely collaborative, which made the whole process feel seamless and enjoyable. What stood out most is how quickly and effectively they act on feedback—any input I shared was taken seriously and implemented right away, often improving the product in ways I hadn’t even considered. Their expertise in no-code development is clear, especially when it comes to Bubble. They don’t just understand the platform—they know how to push its limits to build high-quality, scalable products.

RapidDev has done an incredible job bringing this app to life—far beyond what I initially envisioned. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated a deep understanding of the product and consistently translated ideas into a polished, high-quality experience. They delivered everything on time, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and made sure I was always informed and confident in each step forward. What really stood out was their level of care and professionalism. Their customer service is exceptional, and every interaction felt thoughtful and collaborative rather than transactional. The team was not only highly skilled but also genuinely enjoyable to work with. A special thank you to Paul, Craig, and Eugene, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better development partner.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There were a few typos that I had to fix, but everything else was incredible

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend RapidDev! They’re often even better than traditional coding teams because of their speed, flexibility, and ability to bring ideas to life without unnecessary complexity. Instead of long development cycles and constant back-and-forth, they move quickly, iterate in real time, and deliver high-quality results without sacrificing performance or scalability. Their no-code expertise—especially with Bubble—allows them to build powerful, fully functional applications while staying agile and cost-effective. You’re not just getting developers; you’re getting a team that understands how to turn ideas into real products efficiently, make adjustments on the fly, and keep momentum going at every stage.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Rapidev provided a masterclass in agile execution. They successfully translated our vision for a multi-category marketplace into a high-performance reality, delivering a PCI-compliant payment ecosystem and a sophisticated service-booking engine on schedule. Their proactive communication and ability to adapt to the nuances of the Caribbean's financial and logistical landscape made them an invaluable partner in our digital transformation journey.

What was your primary form of communication with RapidDev?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was their exceptional ability to translate complex, region-specific business logic into a high-performance digital ecosystem. They didn't just build a standard marketplace; they engineered a solution that solves the unique financial and logistical barriers in the Grenadian market—from the PCI-compliant Cybersource integration to the dual-logic handling of both physical equipment and over 20 professional service categories.

Equally impressive was their masterful handling of our timezone differences. Despite being in a different part of the world, their project management made the distance feel non-existent. We operated on a highly efficient 'follow-the-sun' model where our feedback from the Caribbean workday was often addressed and implemented by the time we logged in the following morning. This round-the-clock momentum significantly accelerated our development cycle, ensuring that critical features like the Direct-to-Cart vendor links and WhatsApp notification triggers were polished and ready for our launch without a single delay in communication.

Are there any areas for improvement or something RapidDev could have done differently?

Given the highly specialized nature of the Rent Link-up ecosystem—which manages everything from heavy equipment rentals to professional services like masonry and healthcare—the only area where we saw room for even greater synergy was in the initial Business Analysis (BA) phase.

Because our platform solves very specific regional challenges, such as the 15% VAT compliance and the 'Direct to Cart' integration for local vendors, a more exhaustive discovery period at the project’s onset could have further streamlined the technical translation of these unique requirements. While the team was incredibly agile in pivoting once these nuances were identified, a more robust initial business analysis process would have likely preempted some of the mid-sprint adjustments we made.

That said, the team’s willingness to listen and their rapid response to our evolving needs more than compensated for this. Their ability to quickly grasp the complexity of the Grenadian marketplace mid-stream actually highlights their technical versatility and commitment to getting the 'real-world' logic right for our users.

Are there any areas for improvement or something RapidDev could have done differently?

A small area for improvement would be delivery predictability on more complex features. The overall outcome was what we wanted, but one key capability took longer than expected, which extended the timeline beyond the original estimate. Also, communication was generally good, but the lack of native-English engineers may be a consideration for clients who prefer very nuanced, highly detailed written communication.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Pencil Case Scheduling Limited, a SaaS company. We’ve built a tentative booking scheduling system for freelancers and studios.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RapidDev?

We needed help with web app development. The product required custom coding and couldn’t be built using out-of-the-box tools.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RapidDev has developed our web app from scratch. Initially, I had a chat with one of their salespeople and showed him some sketches. We had a discussion about what I wanted, and he was technically capable of understanding what I was trying to get across.

After that, RapidDev sent me a proposal with a price range for the whole project and the core functionality. We found a middle ground that worked for both of us.

Then, we had a discovery phase for a couple of weeks. We went from my bare-bones sketch to developing the product together. RapidDev has done the UX, wireframing, and design from zero.

The app is completed, and we’ve finished testing. RapidDev is making one or two small changes I’ve requested before going live. We’ve integrated LemonSqueezy as the payment provider and Postmark for email notifications.

The app connects freelancers and studios in the creative sector. They use a system of tentative bookings that haven’t been realized and are used to plan ahead for project planning and scheduling.

Studios can reserve a freelancer’s time, and other studios can challenge this. The system automates everything, and studios can see multiple freelancers when they want to fill in a slot for a project.

We’ve decided to go with Bubble, a no-code full-stack service. Everything is contained in one place, and I can learn how to do bug fixes if needed. The hosting is done in AWS and Google Cloud.

Although the app is built in Bubble, RapidDev has done custom coding in JavaScript.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with two project managers. I assume a team of 5–10 people has worked on the project.

How did you come to work with RapidDev?

RapidDev popped up as one of the better agencies when I was looking for one. I found them on Bubble’s website. I decided to go with them because they were one of the top-rated agencies. I also recall finding them on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $26,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. The app is now finished, but they're still making some small changes. Moreover, they've offered maintenance services for the next two months after the app gets launched.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

RapidDev has delivered the Figma designs and shown me video recordings of the app to see how it works and why. The team has been active almost every week. They’ve responded to any requests I’ve made to change things. I’ve had hands-on access to the app and have been able to experiment with it.

The UX and UI are great. The way the app works is better than I expected. I’m thrilled with what RapidDev has done.

How did RapidDev perform from a project management standpoint?

RapidDev has delivered on time and on budget. We use Jira, Notion, Google Docs, and Excel files. Still, Slack is our main communication channel.

What did you find most impressive about them?

RapidDev’s work quality is excellent. I’m blown away by the product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was a misunderstanding about how some things worked, but I could fault myself more for that than them because I wasn’t concise in the beginning.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Go into the project with a better idea of what you want to accomplish.

Their company culture was very impressive. I can tell they're very organized internally. Additionally I was very impressed with how they could meet me on my level. Having no background in coding and technology, I entered this project with no basic understanding of the mobile app industry. They were always able to explain things in a simple, easy to understand manner. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something RapidDev could have done differently?

They can improve with their estimations. We went 46% + Over the original proposal. While some scope was added throughout the process, I was suprised at how off we were from that initial estimate. I believe there is an opportunity to study this area further to ensure better accuracy in the future. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of NexRung, a marketplace connecting high school students to post-high school opportunities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RapidDev?

I had an MVP of a website that was too rudimentary, so I needed to update it and make it more user-friendly to go to market with it and get users on it. The MVP I created before was enough to get the interest of people, including counselors within high school students and businesses. There was enough market validation that I thought it was worth spending money to create the marketplace application website. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RapidDev has taken my MVP and made it more of a product I can pilot and launch. Since I already had the prototype, the design phase was easy. The team has used the nuts and bolts of what I had already created and iterated off of that. For the first 2–3 weeks, I gave them all the information I had about the MVP. We broke it down and understood the flow of the website, its purpose, how both sides of the marketplace would interact, and the functionality needed.

From there, RapidDev created a proposal for the product's creation. We've had several iterations regarding features, UX, and UI.

After about two months, we moved to the QA/QC phase. This phase has taken a little longer because I see things in the app that I didn’t realize before. I want to change the flow and operational ability of the app to make it smoother on the UI side and ensure users are pleased and don’t get a bad experience. RapidDev has worked with me on the changes and improvements I want. RapidDev uses Bubble for development.

What is the team composition?

I’ve mainly interacted with two teammates from RapidDev: a client success manager and a Scrum master. The Scrum master leads a team underneath her, but I don’t know the teammates' roles. In total, I’ve worked with 4–5 teammates from RapidDev.

How did you come to work with RapidDev?

I went to school with RapidDev's founder and CEO. I saw his LinkedIn posts about the expansion and things he was doing, so I inquired about what he was building. I told him about my project and asked if he could help me out. He connected me with the team, and I went from there.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $25,000–$26,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. We’re finishing up the QA/QC phase before moving to the maintenance phase. I still have to decide if I’ll utilize RapidDev for the site's maintenance.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

RapidDev’s work has met my expectations.

How did RapidDev perform from a project management standpoint?

RapidDev is slightly over budget, but not by much. We’re only 5% over budget, which is expected for technology development. For project management, we use Jira. It’s a platform similar to Asana where we can get updates on specific features. 

For communication, RapidDev uses Slack, emails, and Loom, a program for recording videos. During the design phase, as they were creating the solution before it was testable as a website, they showed me the features. I could put comments right on the website. Every week, the team checks in with me to update me on the progress and what has been designed and developed. I've given my feedback consistently throughout the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

RapidDev’s responsiveness and ability to understand my needs are impressive. I’ve worked with teams before that don’t understand what I want. They try to add a feature but don’t understand the bigger picture. I like to see how a feature fits into the overall pie, and RapidDev is really good at that. The team helps me understand what I’m trying to get across.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Some platforms we use, like Loom, only work for 30 days for me to put comments in them. Once my free trial expired, I couldn’t put comments in Loom directly. I could still receive the Loom videos and watch them, but I had to email my thoughts. I put the time of the video where RapidDev asked a question or showed a feature so they could access it and see what I was speaking about. It would’ve been easier to do it in Loom itself. Once the free trial expired, I was out of luck.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give RapidDev as much information as you can. Sometimes people hold back because they don’t know if RapidDev will understand everything they tell them or if they’ll overwhelm them. However, the team has a great capacity to interpret things. RapidDev has many customers in different industries and domains, so they have experience. The team has more business savviness than other tech people I’ve worked with before. Maximize that and give them more information. If they can’t handle it, they’ll let you know.
