Content Based Web App For Quintype

ABOUT THE CLIENT
With a goal to revolutionize how content is delivered in the modern world, Quintype set out to build an inclusive CMS system that understands the new mobile-first world and deliver the best content to people across the globe. Their products are truly the harbingers of a new content-ready system that companies, big and small, require to be on-par with.
The Problem
Quintype and GeekyAnts had already collaborated on a project in the past that dealt with their CMS system and based on the experience they had with us, they referred our services to one of their partners, who reached out to us based on that referral. An extension company of Quintype got in touch with us to discuss building their content management system that would allow them to create, publish and market their content to get maximum results.We involved ourselves in multiple sessions of extensive discussions to help understand the product better and get a clearer picture of the requirements. After the necessary documentations and agreements, the engagement with the client began in November of 2019. The client wanted to initiate the project under a Time & Material engagement model, and so we did.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Taking up a project that has been under construction for long poses its own set of challenges. The biggest roadblock amongst the others was the fact that some of the pages of the web app were built on Rails. Since the pages were to remain intact, the tech team got in touch with the client-side team to understand the anatomy of the pages in this tech stack and then dealt with. Prioritizing tasks was also a challenge considering the scale of the product and support requests coming in from varied teams needed to be segregated and solved within the deadlines, which proved to be rather smooth for the team. Another challenge was posed by the 3rd party APIs that were to be integrated in the app. Some of those APIs have restrictions that made feature implementation difficult. The solution to this issue came in the form of research and brainstorming sessions on the approach taken towards these features.

TEAM ON CALL
As a Time and Material engagement, a project can be assumed to be gradual in nature, which means that the team kept increasing with relevance to the increasing scope of the project. The initial team consisted of a single developer and a Tech Architect/Project lead, along with the design team, but the team kept expanding as the project went on. Before long, the team on call was two Reat developers, one Node developer and one QA Engineer strong, with the same tech Architect leading the pack.
A Fintech & Business based website.
The website would be backed by the proprietary CMS.
An inbuilt analytics system was also a crucial requirement.
Strategy
After a previous engagement, we were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with Quintype on a project where we assisted them with developing a content management system for the financial and business verticals. The project, based on the T&M model, which started in November 2019 is currently ongoing.
Analysis Planning
The client required us to build a Fintech platform which uses the same API on which the platform is to be based. This required us to conduct some R&D which led us to arrive at the conclusion that React with Redux, for state management, is the best way to go forward.
UI/UX
For the designs, the UI/UX team developed various strategies which were presented to the client with the plan that they would be taken into production on approval.

Development
The first step in the development process of building this intricate app was to implement a feature using which users could subscribe to paid stories. Following this, the team developed a feature for a notification module and revamped the sign-in/sign-up page.
Testing
Intensive QA testing was done by the team who worked in tandem with a business analyst who kept the client informed about the progress. The testing process involved the team validating Happy Path scenarios locally before pushing it to the Beta stage.
Delivery
This unique app is a true innovation in its industry and the finished product featured a content distribution platform that made information collection easier for the business sector.

FINAL IMPRESSION
This client was our very first venture into the media and content sector. Needless to say, it has been a great learning experience for us as a team and as an organization. The client also left no opportunity to send appreciations towards the team based on their commitment and the quality of work that was delivered. They loved the attitude of the team and the sheer professionalism that was displayed during the course of the project. They even acknowledged the work of individual contributors within the team through shoutouts and made their satisfaction extremely clear. We loved every minute of our work with them and on behalf of the team, we really look forward to working with the client in future collaborations.
