[ Challenge ]

A Half-Done App and a Tight Budget

The customer had a half-done Angular application and needed to create a mobile solution. Operating on a tight budget, the company was looking for ways to cut costs while saving quality.

The project's principal goal was to quickly launch the app in the market.

Building the Solution

Scope of work

Discovery phase
Business Analysis
UX audit
Design development

First and foremost, our specialists made a business analysis to ensure that the future product would fit the real industry-specific needs. As a result, the team realized that we should drastically change the current solution. The revisited specification list included many new suggestions. The team decided to:

Modify the current web application instead of building a new mobile application from scratch;
Implement a documents import/export feature instead of introducing a full-fledged e-document flow;
Report finance information instead of developing a payment system for many contractors

The design was based on Eva – Akveo Open Source Customizable Design System. The system allowed us to create a web app in a Firebase brand style including the corresponding typography and handcrafted elements.

By making use of this innovative product that reduces design efforts by 40%, the customer saved both time and costs.

[ Results ]

Impact that Matters

The web application was designed twice as fast as planned and saved 40% on design effort by using the Eva Design System, delivering within HAAST's tight budget.

Design completed 2x faster

The design team delivered the web application design twice as fast as planned by leveraging the Eva Design System for rapid component creation.

40% design effort savings

Using Eva Design System reduced design efforts by 40%, allowing HAAST to get a high-quality branded web app while staying within their tight budget.

On budget and on time

By modifying the existing web application rather than building a mobile app from scratch, the team avoided unnecessary cost and complexity while still meeting all business requirements.
