Enabling smart device integration and rapid launch for a fitness app

To address the client's urgent need for a rapid project turnaround and successful app deployment, we tailored our approach to meet their specific challenges and tight deadlines.

• Identification of phases: Our focused team, including a skilled developer and a PM, tackled the project challenges head-on. The project manager set priorities and created a detailed WBS to organize tasks efficiently and prioritize the most urgent fixes. Given the client's urgent need to launch the app on both the App Store and Google Play, the team formulated a precise project timeline. The developer conducted a detailed assessment to understand the existing issues with the codebase, third-party payment system integration, and smart device functionality.
• Meeting agendas: Additional meetings were scheduled with the client’s team to clarify all aspects of the project and ensure alignment with their goals. Despite time zone differences and rush, we coordinated meetings to keep all stakeholders informed.
• Execution: Once the problem was framed, our side of the project commenced. Our full-stack developer tackled the problematic code and implemented the necessary fixes to ensure a smooth and functional app experience to ensure a minimum viable product is ready on time.

Our tailored process, focused problem-solving, and optimal approaches enabled us to meet the client’s current objectives and set the foundation for future success amid all the challenges on that path.

To address the critical challenges faced by the client and deliver the project swiftly, our team implemented a comprehensive and technically robust approach:

• Our developer meticulously refined the existing code, addressing the inconsistencies and errors that plagued the .NET and Flutter integration. He also enhanced the connectivity of the smart device, which initially had issues with Wi-Fi connection, and finished creating the device module to ensure such app features as reliable real-time rep counting and muscle analytics.
• The web portal and admin panel, hosted on Azure, required some optimization too. We modified the deployment pipeline, leveraging Azure's cloud services to streamline the process. And to process workout data and implement algorithms to suggest updated training routines, enhancing the app's functionality, Azure ML was utilized.
• To address the critical issue of integrating payment systems and ensuring successful App Store reviews, we implemented in-app purchases for iOS, ensuring full compliance with App Store policies while minimizing the impact of commission fees. For the Android version, we integrated Stripe, leveraging the platform’s allowance for third-party payment systems to provide a seamless user experience.

By tailoring our process to the client's specific needs, addressing the deep-rooted technical issues, and implementing optimal solutions, Binariks was able to deliver a functional and robust MVP swiftly, meeting the client's extreme conditions and setting the stage for further advancements.
