What was the scope of their involvement?
We spent a lot of time discussing possibilities: there were a few ways to build the app, so we explored our various needs. Appidea wrote the application from scratch using JavaScript, Bootstrap, and jQuery.
It’s a web application that works on any type of device, with the goal of presenting our cartography material. We have a lot of maps, for geography or history lessons, and the app provides students and teachers with access to them. The users can create personalized maps with exercises assigned to each one, as well as conduct sophisticated search and notetaking mechanisms.
What is the team composition?
Their owner was our main point of contact and they assigned three people to the project, including designers and coders.
How did you come to work with Appidea?
We’d worked with their owner on a project a few years ago. We reached out to a few companies about the current project, but our experience with Appidea had been very good already, so we chose them. We knew them as professionals with whom we’d had good contact.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $50,000 so far, but it’s difficult to give estimates for the next stage.
What is the status of this engagement?
The collaboration formally started in January 2018, but we started the discussions earlier than that. We expect to finish the first stage at the end of 2018, and we’re planning a new one for the first half of 2019.
Though the web application is yet to launch, the team is handling the project professionally and effectively. They manage the geographically diverse team smoothly and ensure that their skills are utilized well, explaining their technical work and listening to the client’s needs.
