Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Though our server structure and the APIs were already designed, Digital Unicorn worked on the enterprise requirements and the look and feel of our application, which later became available for download on both the iPhone and other devices. After working with their business analysts Martin and project manager- Sebastien, on defining the overall look of the app, their designers created mockups. Our team assisted in writing cases that we were trying to support and they provided development and QA. This application provides various functionalities to the users that asre otherwise not found in other conventional clouds storage systems such as giving them the opportunity of storing and categorizing pictures as well as videos more creatively. After making these collections, users can disseminate their content via means other than the app itself. Digital Unicorn contributed to introducing technology on the application which allowed for playing videos as well as providing support in developing a computer version of the app for PC and Mac.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We find it difficult to measure but the resulting product worked well for us. The product has one of the Lowest defect rates and can respond to new requirements rapidly. for example, one of the newest areas of focus is the importance of compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
They function according to a particular model, as opposed to being like a development firm; they require that their project manager be assigned a certain amount of hour for quality assurance QA as well as for developments purposes. In our largest agreement with them, multiple people undertook project management roles enabling everything to run smoothly. Additionally, we were able to reach the developers by way of our management tools as well as by conference calls held quite frequently.
What was your primary form of communication with Digital Unicorn?
Virtual Meeting
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They have the capability to carry out business analysis and design unlike any typical development shop. I like how adoptable they are when we needed them to adapt to various aspects of development or the technologies we required, they were able to do so. Because they cater to our requirements flexibly and are able to drop projects when needed, they are able to keep with us as we grow.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Digital Unicorn could have done differently?
For me it's no. They do great work and I would love see their team grow. I wish we could clone them.

Our Story
Founded in 2018, Digital Unicorn is a French product studio with offices in Paris and Nice. Our 50+ in-house designers, engineers and product managers have shipped 243 store-approved apps (6M+ downloads) for 350+ brands - from TF1 to startups like Timeleft, Livmed's and Book Village, which raised 15M+ EUR combined. CII-accredited by the French Ministry of Research. Rated 4.9/5 on Google and Sortlist.
What Sets Us Apart
243 apps approved by Apple and Google
Getting an app past App Store and Play Store review is where many builds stall. We have taken 243 applications through that process since 2018, so store guidelines, privacy declarations and rejection appeals are handled as part of delivery rather than as a surprise at the end.
Clickable prototype in 20 days
Every engagement opens with a design phase that produces a clickable prototype within roughly 20 days. You can put it in front of real users or investors before committing to a full build, which is usually the cheapest moment to change your mind about the product.
In-house team, no subcontracting
Designers, engineers and delivery managers are all Digital Unicorn employees - nothing is subcontracted. The people who scope your product are the people who build it, so nothing is lost in a handover to an outside vendor: one team, one roadmap, from the first workshop to the store release.
