How We Built MVP for Retail Deal Discovery App in 3 Weeks at $10K
The US-based company (name is under NDA) needed a high-quality MVP for a Retail Deal Discovery App delivered within a month at an affordable price. They chose MobiDev to complete this task.
Our AI-as-a-Partner approach to Minimum Viable Product development matched their timeline and budget limitations. We delivered a high-quality MVP with the required feature list in 3 weeks that our client presented to the investors, securing the first round of funding.
The Story Behind
A US-based startup company wanted to create a new B2C mobile application for discovering and tracking retail deals in local shops.
They needed to move fast due to market pressures. At the same time, despite a low budget for development, they wanted to deliver an MVP with high-quality code as they needed to ensure the investments.
Business value
The client conducted thorough market research and created a product vision and a list of features to cater to their users’ needs. These features included deal discovery, filtering, and analytics of shopping preferences.
Our client lacked the necessary budget and experience to hire an in-house team and develop a production-ready MVP with the listed features. That’s why they decided to hire an outsourcing software development company with expertise in rapid MVP development and chose MobiDev.
Project Scope & Deliverables
Based on the urgency, low budget of the project, and code quality requirements, MobiDev offered the client our unique AI-as-a-Partner approach to MVP development. This approach helps companies retain the quality of the code while decreasing the development speed by 2.57x and saving up to 69.8% of the budget per role.
We developed the production-ready MVP within 3 weeks hours with the agreed-upon feature list. Our client presented the MVP to investors and secured the funding.
