THE CHALLENGE
We Needed to Create a Mobile iOS Application First
in 3 months, to be delivered to real customers and receive feedback to be able to iterate the product and find an MMP Minimum Marketable Product.
INITIAL STATE
OUR SOLUTION
The first step in this project was to develop a prototype of the consumer application.
Requirements
Simplification
This technology stack avoids the risk of high-cost development teams and high-speed development, by keeping the requirements in skills simple.
Application
Building
For this, we built an application using React Native/Expo and a simple Firebase backend to create an initial iOS app allowing users to initiate the returns.
Prototype
Release
After the initial prototype release, we created a simple admin system using React, keeping the whole platform in Javascript/Typescript. Over time we have also released the application to Android users.
DELIVER STATE
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
There have been multiple improvements
The first one is a Gmail integration allowing users to import purchases directly from their email. This required an audit from Google to ensure security practices in handling people's data. The audit was performed by a partner of Google in close collaboration with the melt development team and successfully passed.

After working with other developers I can honestly say that my experience with Melt has been fantastic. First, the teams that have worked on our various projects are talented and diligent. Second, I appreciate weekly meetings where we can see the progress of our apps. Manuel and his team has always kept us abreast of the progress, the problems, and potential solutions to overcome the challenges. I love being able to see in Pivotal the number of stories and how each has been tackled. The openness, honesty and clarity in the communication has been a key for my satisfaction.
