Our cooperation began in 2017 with UX/UI design and a software audit of an existing education and mentoring platform [Name is under NDA], followed by an architecture upgrade. The client then engaged MobiDev to develop an additional independent SaaS solution. After its successful launch, we continued to fully support platforms with regular updates. The developed solutions now serve over 15,000 students and 1,000+ US college mentors.

We’ve always appreciated MobiDev for all the invaluable consulting, for the communication and for reporting set up conveniently for us. They never feel like a remote team. They are immediately available for our requests. They are a reliable team that can build complex software from scratch, deliver it strictly on time, and later on, effectively evolve it. Our own ongoing collaboration with MobiDev fully confirms their professional reputation in the market.
A US-based education company developed a solution for connecting applicants with mentoring students. Over time, however, the platform became outdated and lost its stability. MobiDev was engaged in modernizing the app, which involved redeveloping the architecture from scratch, expanding its reach to a new target region, and providing the platform with further support.
Users from various educational institutions seek stable software with a smooth interface that provides a convenient flow to connect students with relevant mentors and handle further communication.
At the outset of our cooperation, the MobiDev team conducted a thorough UX/UI design audit to assess existing functionalities and user experiences. This evaluation allowed us to identify areas for enhancement and refinement. Then, a dedicated UX/UI designer transformed the platform into a more intuitive and visually compelling solution, setting the stage for enhanced user satisfaction and operational efficiency.
We conducted a comprehensive software audit of the existing system to identify its limitations and key areas for improvement. For the complete architecture redevelopment, the creation of a tech strategy was crucial, as it helped determine the optimal tech stack, ensuring a more robust and future-proof solution.
Having an existing platform, the clients reached out to us with the request to update it and optimize its performance. The dedicated MobiDev team has rewritten the product architecture from scratch.
Originally, the platform was targeted at the US market. Over time, there was a need for a separate platform for Asian high schoolers to connect with US-based mentors. By cloning the platform and implementing a different API and database, we established a completely independent new platform for this purpose.
To ensure product reliability and stability for a large user base, our focus was on reducing server load and optimizing performance. This involved evolving the initial Ansible-based deployment into a continuous integration system. We further enhanced it by integrating Fabric and Jenkins, and implemented API autotests to streamline operations and maintain high standards of performance.
At the beginning of the project, the MobiDev team undertook a substantial scope of activities encompassing complete backend rebuild and platform modernization. Upon achieving this objective, our collaboration transitioned to platform support, with project management handled on the client side. Thus, beginning with a dedicated development team approach, we shifted to a team augmentation format after the new version of the app went live.
After completing the architecture modernization and launching the second independent SaaS platform, MobiDev continued to provide ongoing support to maintain the stability of both platforms. The updated versions facilitated connections between over 15,000 students and more than 1,000 US college mentors.
