For what projects/services did your company hire APPFORTE, and what were your goals?
Our company and APPFORTE worked together on a blockchain application for then Hungarian National Bank. We provided the backbone of the system, while APPFORTE developed the mobile client for endusers. It is an edutainment app to increase the financial awareness in the Hungarian population. Our goal was to make the project satisfactory for the Hungarian National Bank, and for this we needed a cooperating, well prepared, experienced mobile app supplier to finish the project in time, in excellent quality.
As it was a public procurement, it was very important to finish the project in time. Both android and iOs app versions had to be developed.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We searched mobile app providers in Hungary, obtained more offers. Based on the recommendation of one of our colleagues, we also requested an offer from APPFORTE. After interviewing with APPFORTE and receiving their offer we decided to select them for the project as mobile app supplier.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had continous meetings with APPORTE and Hungarian National Bank together to define exactly the needs of Hungarian National Bank in respect of design of mobile app and the operation of the mobile app in a very secured IT environment. In the specification the technical conditions were defined more or less exactly, but during the project planning many issues accured both in case of the backend part of the project and the mobile app, which had to be solved somehow.
As the project is a blockchain based solution and the Hungarian National Bank had not got any previous experience in such project it was essential to work closely with them and also with APPFORTE.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had a main contact from APPFORTE side, who was quasi the project manager on APPFORTE side. We also had direct contact with 2-3 mobile app developer.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Some month after launch of the project , the app has a 4,5 star rating. Incorrect operation because of the mobile app part had not occured. Most of the errors occured in the backend of the solution. Since deployment to production environment, the app has more than 5.000 users registered.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
With the APPFORTE team it was very easy to communicate with. We always got continous update of the mobile app part. We had many personal and online meetings. Generally everething was delivered in the agreed deadline.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The knowledge and experience of the mobile app development of APPFORTE is unquestionable. They were in contact with us continously, always participated in the necessary meetings both with us and Hungarian National Bank. As it was our first mobile development , we were able to learn from them about the mobile app development. The whole project happened in a very good mood, and this is largely thanks to APPFORTE.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
