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

Kaizen Apps considered our older version of the mobile app and redesigned it from the ground up to provide our customers with an innovative app to access their data. Their team led the development processes, utilizing our previous app’s API and documentation. We worked with Kaizen Apps to enhance the app’s features and UX; they added a customer support feedback tab and user avatars, amongst other modernizations.

After we finalized the scope of work, they began the design phase. Kaizen Apps developed the wireframes and then began working on high-fidelity images. Once the design process was complete, Kaizen Apps began developing the app based on our defined workflows.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
