The biggest challenges were to update the libraries properly and comprehensively. Versions of some libraries were 4 years old and had to be approached gradually. The dependencies that existed between the various libraries did not make the situation any easier either, but a proper strategy and spotty updates allowed each library to be upgraded to the correct version, and thus the application was republished on the stores. 

The development team successfully tackled the challenge of updating outdated libraries with a carefully planned approach. They addressed each library update incrementally, ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting the application's stability. Additionally, they efficiently managed complex dependencies by identifying and resolving conflicts. 

With a focus on testing, gradual updates, and clear communication, the team overcame the hurdles and re-launched the application with updated libraries and a reliable chat solution, resulting in a more robust and user-friendly experience for its target audience. After re-launching the app Mobile Reality continue developing the system. They implement new features and platform web and mobile extensions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

1. Updated and working app after 4 years of pause. 
2. New features implemented and working as expected. 
3. Users using app in production.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yes, everything was as we expected. Weekly statuses or even more frequent updates when it was necessary. Good communication. They provide detailed reports about the progress. More or less everything was delivered on time.

What was your primary form of communication with Mobile Reality?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Highly skilled management and tech team, great communication, end-to-end support and proactiveness. We trust them and their opinion.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Mobile Reality could have done differently?

Nothing very important, maybe more frequent updates about worklogs and hours that has been consumed for development, but in general these kinds of reports were shared with us as well.

The project's goal was to migrate an existing website built on an old version of the Laravel framework (using PHP) and database to a new content management system (CMS) on the WordPress platform. The migration process involves transferring all the data and functionality from the old system to the new one while ensuring the website remains fully functional and operational.

The project aimed to upgrade an existing website built using an outdated version of the Laravel framework and database, which may be limiting its functionality and features. By migrating the website to a new content management system based on the WordPress platform, the project seeks to unlock new capabilities and potential, including improved design and layout options, a more user-friendly interface, enhanced security features, and easier content management.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an executive at TURO, a startup focused on revolutionizing the approach to dealing with real estate documentation, managing construction plans, and investment schemas.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Mobile Reality, and what were your goals?

We have chosen Mobile Reality from the various vendors for our product design workshops and SaaS web platform development. The Mobile Reality team was also recommended to me by my friends. The goals were to create a fully functional web application that should meet our business requirements.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

The vendor was known to me from my social network, but the decision has been made based on the reviews and a few consulting sessions with them. Moreover, their proposal and the way of cooperation that they offered were the most suitable for us.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The discovery phase included a few sessions of remote product workshops, during which we described the whole backlog for the platform, phases of development, and all functionalities required to achieve our business goals. The concept was analyzed from a business and technology perspective. Mobile Reality created the first few UX/UI layouts for the app and its principal processes in the next phase.

Moreover, Mobile Reality developed a proof of concept in a few days to show us the solution that we wanted to check. After the product design workshop phase, Mobile Reality gave us a fixed price proposal for delivering the scope we worked out during the workshops. We accepted the offer, signed the agreement, and started the development. After four months, the web app was developed as agreed.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Initially, their CEO Matt carried out the whole offer and consultations phase. Later, the Delivery Manager, UX/UI Designer, Frontend Team Lead, and Backend Team Lead consulted with us on the idea and delivered the expected outcomes. During the development phase, we cooperated with the team, including the Delivery Manager, Designers, Developers, and Manual Testers. Most of the issues and tasks were consulted with the Delivery Manager/Project Manager during our weekly meetings.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The product backlog was prepared as we expected. The whole technological and business concept was transformed into detailed and well-described user stories with well-defined acceptance criteria. All other business and tech aspects were outlined in separate documentation. Thanks to the developed PoC, we could verify some central aspects of the app. It also gave us awareness about some risks and further work that must be done. After the successful workshop phase, we received a well-prepared offer.

Within the proposal, each functionality was estimated with the time and cost. We were able to evaluate the cost of each module and its functionality. The offer was accepted, an agreement was signed, and development was started. The web application was delivered as we expected, features worked well, and we were able to start selling our SaaS solution to the Client.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Everything was on time, even better than we expected. Workshops sessions were completed on time. PoC took a bit more time than we expected, but in the end, the results were better than they should have been. The development phase was coordinated properly, Some mistakes or misunderstandings appeared, but this is normal, calculated into the cost and flow of each IT development project. In the end, everything was delivered as we expected. The delivery Manager responsible for the whole communication was great and very helpful.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Great tech and business approach. Support from the core management team. Close cooperation with the whole team and a well-defined process

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

So far, everything has been great. In terms of the product design phase and PoC, nothing can be done better, in my opinion. The development phase ended on time and in the expected budget. The results were great. Fully recommend this team and company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Mobile Reality, and what were your goals?

As an emerging tech company with a need to quickly and efficiently develop and deploy new products, services and feature enhancements we needed to rapidly supplement and expand our software / application development team.
