Approach

Cooperation

The originator had a vision of his project and we could easily go from the general to the details. Our team, consisting of Project Manager, QA, Product Owner, 3-4 developers and, of course, the Founder, managed to launch the application in the AppStore in a very short time. Effective communication as well as effective teamwork were the basis for the successful implementation of the project.

Timeline

Whole development process took us about 3 months. We were able to achieve that having all requirements and designs delivered by our client. We dedicated our time to app development and backend, and then devoted the last month to PWA (Progressive Web Application) and polishing up the latest changes in the mobile app.

Time Buffer

One of the most characteristic features of cooperation with startups is their dynamism in action. They react quickly to changes, but also actively amend the concept, improving the idea. That’s why, when working with startups, we always plan ahead a 1-2 sprint buffer. It’s not only to have a moment to polish the product. It’s main purpose is to give a client some time, if he decides to modify or add anything. Then we can apply changes to the scope. Our experience has shown that flexibility is an extremely valuable feature in cooperation with startups.

Challenges

AliceHome was created to provide the highest level of service to residents. Meanwhile, it also turned out to be a fully functional tool for handling all business activities. It allowed our client to manage financial operations, human resources and plan day-to-day affairs.

Features

Advanced service planning rules

AliceHome supports various service plans. Residents can arrange recurring assistance of house-keeping, laundry and dry cleaning, order a one-time service from a wide range offered, and even purchase additional services resulting from special needs. You have an unexpected business trip? AliceHome will make sure your beloved dog is well taken care of.

In-App Messaging

Messaging allows residents to communicate directly with their personal home manager. The real-time messaging framework supports push notifications and attachments. You have an idea for new floral arrangements for a social gathering you are planning for the weekend? Just send Alice a picture of what you have in mind, and a home manager will take care of everything.

Stripe Integration

We integrated a world leading payment gateway, so that residents can make payments in the way that is most convenient for them. The application supports monthly credit card payments, single fees for one-time services, as well as billing for additional assistance. Making payment is easy and intuitive.

PWA for Internal Use

In addition to Mobile App, we created a Progressive Web Application, developed mainly for employees. It’s portable, it’s quick, it has notifications – it’s an innovation. PWA was designed with the view of administrative use.

Testimonial

"The app is running great, and we’re happy with the work they did.”

The app that Brival developed for the client has been successfully launched in digital stores with top-notch functionality. They led a communicative process with a responsive approach to solve any issue that arose. The partner also praised their balance between cost-benefit.
