1. Built an iPhone Utility application from concept to an end product for a company in North America
The client is a funded technology product start-up with a vision to develop iPhone applications that are meant to ease people’s lives. The client is based in North America.
The client wanted to build an iPhone application, that will enable its business users to connect with a comprehensive network of utility service providers ranging from plumbers, carpenters, electricians, to many more across North America. The iPhone application connects to a back-end web engine to search for service providers by type of service, time, and location nearest or preferred by the user. It will then notify the short-listed service providers through e-mails and SMS. The service providers can then choose to get in touch with the user either through e-mails or SMS.
The application will also allow users to bookmark favorite service providers for future reference and also rate them on multiple parameters. With this vision, the client approached Sigma Infosolutions to build this from concept to an end product.
