Client’s Requirement

Our client Bienvenue Achingui wanted to give investors the confidence to pool their investment with other investors to promote a habit of savings and track the amount invested. He told us to fine-tune the UI/UX designs for the existing website (tontinapp.com) & wanted to make this app available for Android and iOS. He asked for a Web Admin Panel where all the administrative work would be taken care of to monitor the activities of the application. He has engaged the services of Dash Technologies to convert his idea into reality.

Our Approach

We heard our client patiently, and after a brief team meeting, we approached him with the final proposal that included everything, from wireframing, design, and features to development, deployment, and cost details. The client appreciated our effort to bring his vision to life and gave us “Go Ahead” in his response.

We created the prototype, wireframe, and UI/UX. The client was in the loop in every process, and each step was taken with the client’s approval. Our development team held stand-up meetings with the client and discussed the project’s progress daily. The project was completed by the deadline as specified by our client.
