Helping Habit - Mobile App Development Project

Helping Habit aims to be a bridge between volunteers and nonprofits. It allows a nonprofit organization the flexibility to post all of their events on a platform that is easy to use and a way to make direct connections with new and existing volunteers. AppIt Ventures worked with Helping Habit to learn exactly what their users, both nonprofits and volunteers, really need, and our design team spearheaded the effort to making all

…
of those features easily accessible and understandable.

Helping Habit originally came to AppIt Ventures about a year before the original development was completed. We had a very thorough Initial Engagement, creating plans for several iterations of the product, the client then worked with a branding company to finalize the product name and other details. All development was completed in about three months, as the client used AppIt Rapid Development to shorten the timeline and decrease his time to market.

Outcomes

After several months of work Helping Habit launched on budget and is currently working with non-profits to provide support for young adults and people across all demographics. The software helps communities by creating a platform where they can find nearby opportunities to volunteer and provide support. From the first moment users open the app they can quickly find an event that’s just down the street. There are currently several major national non-profits currently in discussion with Helping Habit about bringing their organizations onboard the software.

Feedback summary: 

AppIt Ventures has been a collaborative and knowledgeable partner in the development cycle. Their involvement has improved the app’s expected functionality and design. Equipped with a well-rounded team, AppIt Ventures offers expertise in a range of services to address all possible needs.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a co-founder of See Mama Bee. It is a wellness app for mothers to track lifestyle choices and track food allergies in their children.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppIt Ventures?

We contracted with AppIt Ventures to help us develop our mobile application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We are currently working on an iOS version, but we have hopes for an Android version in the future. My husband and I came to the table with an idea and a few graphics, so AppIt Ventures has been instrumental in ushering this application through the development cycle. We offered a color scheme and some thoughts regarding the UX, but AppIt Ventures crafted the logos, developed the screen flows, and handled all technical aspects. The app allows parents—specifically mothers—to record their wellness activities and track their children’s food allergies, which can then be communicated to doctors.

AppIt Ventures has been helpful in other areas, as well. If we have concerns for how we manage our budget, how we run our social media, or how we start our Kickstarter campaign, their staff has somebody that can help us.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with a team of seven people, which includes a project manager, graphic designers, developers, some of their marketing staff, and sometimes the CEO.

How did you come to work with AppIt Ventures?

We began this project with a different developer, and we did not receive nearly the support we’ve gotten from AppIt Ventures. That team’s expertise wasn’t quite what we needed, so we re-opened our search and selected AppIt Ventures because we thought that we could be collaborative and hands-on in the development of our app. Because they had staff photos on their website, we felt that we’d be working with people rather than just a company.

How much have you invested with them?

We’re anticipating a final amount between $50,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement began in July 2018 and remains ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have yet to launch, but we can attribute a great deal of our success so far to them. We’ve gotten tremendous feedback on the screenshots and functionality that AppIt Ventures has created. Their mentorship has helped us make our app an early success.

How did AppIt Ventures perform from a project management standpoint?

We’re very comfortable working with them. We receive regular updates, and if the entire team doesn’t attend a meeting on Google Hangouts, it’s still a majority of the team. We feel that we’ve formed a solid relationship with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

My husband and I are not technical people, but AppIt Ventures has done a wonderful job of interpreting our notes and delivering something better than what we asked for.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they’re very professional and easy to work with.

Feedback summary: 

The completed application has drawn promising reviews from clients, a result of AppIt Ventures’ strong communication and organizational skills. The team is accessible and accommodating, evidenced by its willingness to expedite development to meet pressing scheduling deadlines with little notice.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CTO of Lot Spot Inc. We are a parking analytics company that collects parking and transportation data and distributes it to drivers and organizations through an online dashboard and a mobile application.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AppIt Ventures?

Our company needed an easy-to-use, yet an information-filled mobile application to distribute the parking data to drivers. We wanted to make it pain-free for drivers to find available parking before they arrived at their destination.

What were your goals for this project?

There were three main goals for this project. The first was to appeal to our customers—businesses, cities, and universities—by providing a mobile application to their visitors. The second goal was to increase the value of our core product by directing drivers to lots with open spaces—thereby increasing the efficiency of our customers’ parking lots. The final goal was to increase our name recognition by providing drivers with a useful tool they would use on a regular basis.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Lot Spot recently won the Rocky Mountain Ventures Business Competition in Denver, Colorado. Upon winning, AppIt Ventures approached us to discuss if we had any need for their services. We knew we needed to build a mobile application, so we included AppIt Ventures in our search for developers in Colorado. We ultimately selected AppIt Ventures because of their experience and price.

Describe the project in detail.

We had a series of meetings where we conducted plans for design, user experience, and execution. During that time, we were in the middle of our pre-seed funding round. We postponed the project for a few months until we had closed our seed round. Re-opening the project was simple and pain-free. AppIt Ventures was able to resume the project within two weeks of confirmation that we would continue work. Within three planning meetings, their team started work on the mobile application. The mobile application was comprised of three main features. The first was the ability to find available parking around a location and nearby facilities. This needed mapping capabilities, custom icons, and a method for searching. The second main feature was the ability to more robustly find parking using a list-style UI with filters and sorting tools. The third feature was the ability to submit alerts regarding parking. This included illegal parking, traffic updates, and inaccurate count alerts.

What was the team composition?

There was never a time where we were unable to talk to the right person. If we needed questions answered regarding tech, we were immediately connected with the lead of tech. If we had feedback regarding UI, we were connected with the head of design. And all other communications were immediately answered by the business team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

AppIt Ventures did an incredible job helping design and build the Lot Spot mobile application. We have shown it to a few of our current clients, and they could not be happier with the results.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

For the most part, communication was efficient. Communications by email were taken care of within a few hours. There was a time when new tools were introduced halfway through the project, which added some confusion. It would have been better if these tools were introduced prior to the start, but besides that, everything was seamless.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

AppIt Ventures was able to work around our schedule. We had a few contracts closing in September that required the mobile application. Upon discussing this with the AppIt Ventures team during kickoff, they accommodated their schedules and workflow around our needs. They were able to expedite the production of the mobile application on short notice.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The only area of improvement would be scope planning. There were a few instances where something that we believed was an obvious scope item was not added to the app and took some time to sort out. For example, an item on the scope was the ability to register and login with Facebook, but when we received the result of the first mobile app sprint, there was no Facebook registration option. Upon bringing this up with the AppIt Ventures team, they told us that a button on the main registration page was not in the initial scope and adding it would result in additional costs. Perhaps adding more details to the scope would be beneficial to future clients. Besides this, our work with AppIt Ventures was quick and pain-free. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone hoping to build a mobile application.

Feedback summary: 

AppIT Venture’s demo has proved useful in fundraising initiatives and obtaining feedback from potential users. The communication is simplified and reliable, while project management remains accommodating throughout. Their timely delivery is also a notable strength.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a small nonprofit that deals with cooking education and menu planning for in-need and at-risk individuals and families.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppIT Ventures?

We were looking to build a mobile application with a group who could work well with me, provide simple information and steps, and ultimately produce a good end product.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They used InVision to create a clickable, non-functioning app demo. The app is going to be unique in structure and will include recipes and videos. Rather than going through the cost of developing the full app and then changing it as I receive feedback, we decided to do the InVision demo app at a much lower cost. This has allowed us to work through a lot of the issues before showing it to potential clients and investors in order to raise money for full development. The app is for iOS and Android, and also involves building an administrative website for management.

There have been some challenges we’ve faced throughout the process due to the nature of how the app will work and flow. For example, recipes and selection thereof, linking for creating shopping lists, being able to attach things, and popups all need to work in a way that isn’t cumbersome. Originally, the recipes had the nutritional information on them, but AppIT Ventures recommended having an optional pop-up with the same information. There are now pop-ups that are linked to each recipe, as well as video links that contain quick demos for reinforcement.

What is the team composition?

I work with the owner and Brandy [Vice President of U.S. Operations, AppIT Ventures]. She has a team she’s working with, but I’m unsure how many people are on it.

How did you come to work with AppIT Ventures?

I used Clutch to research mobile app developers in the area and interviewed a lot of them. We didn’t want to work with a large company. I needed someone who could help me because I’d never created an app before.

The owner and I met when I went to Denver, and he seemed very clear about the process and associated costs. We also discussed ways in which the cost could fluctuate up or down.

How much have you invested in them?

We will be spending just over $60,000.

The app development is at a set price, which is helpful for me. They’ve stayed true and clear on that, and even though it’s taking a little longer, the price has remained the same. It has helped to develop a very clear budget for me in looking for investors. Everything is well-mapped out and itemized so in the case that I’m not able to get the full amount of money, I can pick and choose what I can afford.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June of 2017, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’ve shown it to clients who will be using it and to potential investors. The clickable app allows me to send a link to potential investors to either look at on a computer or phone. I can then call them and walk them through it, and I have a guideline for it which talks about the different components.

At this point, it’s giving me pretty much everything I need for fundraising. I’m also using it to get feedback from people who are either passionate or knowledgeable about this situation so that we can adjust the app going into full development.

How did AppIT Ventures perform from a project management standpoint?

Brandy and my point of contact keep things simple. We’ve met a few times during the development to review and go through the next steps. She’s made sure she has really good notes before we move on. They’ve continued to communicate very well. They’ve met all set deadlines and remained flexible and understanding when I haven’t met my own. We share emails and schedules online for upcoming information and meetings. They’ve also set me up with InVision so that I can stay updated on progress.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The communication and clear understanding of the process for a project my size, considering the amount of attention I need to complete it effectively, is great. I was anticipating people talking in different languages and not being able to obtain that focus, but they’ve been very good with communication and making sure the project is successful.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any suggestions for improvement.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the director of strategy and evaluation at Florence Crittenton Services, a non-profit organization in Denver. Our mission is to educate and empower teen mothers and their children.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AppIt Ventures?

We needed to compile all the intake and service data that we collect for the teen moms and children that we’ve served. We wanted to put all that information in one place so that everyone can have access to it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

AppIt helped us develop a web-based application that utilized our resources with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

How did you come to work with AppIt Ventures?

AppIt originally gave us a community grant for in-kind work. Beyond that, we’ve invested quite a large sum of money to the project.

How much have you invested in them?

So far, we’ve spent around $40,000 on AppIt’s services. They understand our needs and limitations as a non-profit organization.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2016. It is an ongoing project. We are currently working on the second phase.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve just started using the app. It is still early in the process, but we are very excited about the results. AppIt’s work has increased our efficiency and ability to track services and outcomes for the moms that we serve.

In addition to the high-quality work they provided for us, AppIt should be commended for their commitment to giving back to the Denver community. We are fortunate to be the recipients of their first-ever grant opportunity. Their grant allowed us to kick-start this project—without their support, we would not be where we are today.

How did AppIt Ventures perform from a project management standpoint?

They are great. We communicate through email and telephone. We also have in-person meetings. We are pleased with our communication, and they meet all of our deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We are impressed by their dedication to quality customer service. AppIt’s responsiveness, flexibility, and collaborative approach all led to an excellent product. We would be pleased to recommend AppIt to other organizations interested in their services and tell them about our experience.

We really appreciate their great enthusiasm for our mission. They encourage us to dream big and make a difference in these young moms’ lives through technology. They really want to support us as a non-profit. They come to our events, which speaks to their commitment to be a good community member as well as a business.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not that I can think of. I think they are really good.

We have a central office which sends crews to remote locations, which can even be 50 miles away. One of my requirements was obtaining real-time information on what those crews were doing, recording their work in order to showcase their involvement to the client. The instant turnaround of information regarding the completed work was a key metric. Another goal was being able to visually present our data to clients. Both goals have been successfully accomplished by AppIt Ventures' application.

How did AppIt Ventures perform from a project management standpoint?
