Clik2Flip

BACKGROUND

Tell me about your business and your role within the organization?

My business is Clik2Flip, Inc., I’m the Founder and CEO. FullStack Labs built a mobile application for me that allows real estate investors to perform instant calculations on investment properties.

OPPORTUNITY

What challenges were you trying to address with FullStack Labs?

I had a design for an app but I lacked the coding expertise to build it myself. I wanted the quickest path to a mobile app that could run on both iOS and Android devices. That led me down the path to looking for React Native developers and I came across FullStack Labs.

SOLUTION

What is the scope of our involvement?

We began with a design sprint in which the FullStack Labs team used my wireframes as a starting point, then went through their standard design process, which produced high-fidelity designs of each view of the app, and a clickable prototype built with InVision. Once that was complete, we moved onto development, and built iOS and Android apps using React Native.

What is the team composition?

Brian Smith was the primary designer and Armaiz Adenwala was the primary developer with some oversight and project management from Mike Piccolo.

How did you come to work with us?

I found FullStack Labs through a Google search.

How much time has been invested?

1077 hours so far.

What is the status of the engagement?

The apps are currently live in both the iOS and Android stores. We’re now in maintenance mode, which is ongoing.

How much longer do you see the engagement going?

At least the rest of this year.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I got a fantastic app that looks clean and has a great design, and is stable with no crashes. I had a fantastic developer - I really enjoyed working with Armaiz, a fantastic young man. I consider my app to be a valuable asset that was brought to life by the team at FullStack Labs.

It’s been live for over a year. We launched a paid subscription model last fall which has been doing well. I average a couple hundred active users per month, with 75-100 paid subscribers.

How did we perform from a project management standpoint?

I work at a software consultancy and have experience with project management and oversight throughout the project life-cycle. This experience allowed me to feel comfortable acting as the project manager for most of the project. This approach went really well.

What did you find most impressive about us?

Other than those really cool Altwork chairs?! I met with a few software shops prior to FullStack Labs, but I had a great meeting with David and I thought Brian was wonderful to work with. I liked the dynamic, the calmness of the environment. I liked that the team understood what my goals were. I felt that it was the right fit from a technology perspective as well as a pricing perspective.

Are there any areas of improvement?

Not that I can think of.

Other comments

I appreciate the partnership with FullStack Labs over the past few years and hope that FullStack Labs will continue to see value in what they’ve built for me as we continue to work together. I would ask that FullStack Labs provide options or feedback on new technologies that they come across that could improve my app. For example, if a new library appears that would be an easy swap to improve the app, let the client know.
