Our team took over the development of GeeGee after two years of it being developed independently. The main goal was to make things get on the right course and get the wind in the GeeGee sails. Work has started by conducting a backend audit, which identified major bottlenecks that had to be addressed. After taking a deep dive into the application, it emerged that the product's front end also needed modernization. React Native update was essential for the smooth operation of the team.
Our team has taken full ownership of the technical side of the project and planned the next required steps - comprehensive rewriting and improving code quality and optimization of already existing components on the front end.
Once the team has delivered a new back end and finished a major part of the application refactor, they could move forward and focus on applying new features, improving application performance and user experience through design changes.
Mutual trust built during the initial steps let the team and the owners feel confident about both the quality and velocity of the delivered results. We also streamlined processes to reconcile the needs of developers and business owners. To minimize error occurrence and, therefore, optimize the time of development, 2 of QA specialists joined the team. It was another factor increasing Developer Experience and, thus, team’s velocity.
Vazco also consulted GeeGee on planning architecture, technical dependencies, application’s security, and further app development possibilities.
All the business goals for the current stage of the partnership have been completed.
The application was published to the market and currently we are actively seeking user engagement so we can collect their feedback and improve GeeGee app even further.
Secondly, we see improved performance of the application, it's faster and smoother, users videos are of high quality.
Thirdly, we now have new features available for our users - notifications hub, educational screens and private squads they can join - GeeGee community is growing every day.
Summing up, the partnership between GeeGee and Vazco has remarkably improved the application, its general quality, performance, security and brought many new functionalities that significantly increased user experience. And the best is yet to come as we are committed towards delivering new, exciting features and improving the application further, like: gamification, AR, marketplace.
