Goal-Based Investment Platform For Elever
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Based out of India, Elever was founded by visionaries who wanted to explore the nuances of the investment industry. Their offering- the Elever application, is a one-of-a-kind, fully personalised, goal-based investing platform where users can have measurable investment targets and smartly achieve their goals through strategic planning. Using this application, users can take a step forward to their financial goals in a far more convenient way while also keeping themselves aware of changing investment trends.
The Problem
The client was on the lookout for tech partners who could develop their app and update certain components as necessary to align with the changing trends as well as implement a CMS for the platform. The Elever application allows users to set financial goals and leverage the app’s functionalities to achieve their investments. After an extensive search for the right people who could take the project forward, the partner found us via LinkedIn and decided to collaborate with us after examining our portfolio. The project is set across an incremental and iterative scrum model which allows us to implement changes wherein we consult with the client at regular two week intervals which allows for changes to be implemented along with the necessary iterations.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
One of the primary challenges that arose during the course of the project was in managing timelines and understanding the client’s culture and the way they work. The team handled this by aligning their work schedules and their internal culture with the client’s to ensure that the project was a success. As this was a project for the investment sector, implementing security structures and protocols was critical to ensure that the app was secure. While covering all edge cases was a challenge, the team researched and found a way to integrate KYC flow while also handling the security constraints involved in this procedure.

TEAM ON CALL
Once the requirements had been set in place, we discussed with the client and put together a team that could take the project forward. The project needed three developers spearheaded by a tech lead. The tech lead role becomes very important here since they are responsible for setting the right architecture & ensuring perfect collaboration between the client & GeekyAnts development team. .
Develop mobile apps which can handle both investments and portfolio management.
Maintain the existing website and update the components based on requirements.
Implement a CMS to streamline the way content is managed on the app.
Strategy
We joined hands with Elever to create a one-of-a-kind investment app over an incremental and iterative scrum process which allowed for flexibility as was required for this project.
Analysis Planning
Since the goal of the project was to build a mobile app, we chose Flutter as the SDK for its cross-platform abilities along with Vue.js and Node.js for the Frontend and Backend respectively.
UI/UX
Since the application was built from scratch, the GeekyAnts team collaborated with the partner’s in-house team to brainstorm and come up with the appropriate designs and wireframes for the project.
Development
The development phase consisted of the development of both iOS and Android applications for the investment platform along with an integrated content management system.
Testing
To ensure that the product was functioning as it was intended and that there are no defects, we automated the testing procedure using Flutter Driver and Gitlab.
Delivery
The product is currently in its beta stage with the client delighted about its progress and preparing to launch it in the near future.
FINAL IMPRESSION
The project is currently in progress with the development and implementation of new features going as planned. The app has currently reached beta stage and our partner’s satisfaction with the progress is exemplified through the two 5 star reviews that we received on Clutch for the team’s dedication towards the project and their effort to meet the stringent deadlines. We are delighted to have collaborated with Elever and witnessing the current progress, we foresee a long term visibility of the project which we hope to execute in collaboration with our partner.
