Mobile App Development, Web App Development, Project Management Tool

01 . About the Client

BuildScan offers construction-related services with its offices in London, United Kingdom.

Project Brief

Our client wanted to develop an app to streamline construction projects by offering a project management toolset specifically optimized for the construction niche. As a construction management niche app, it required close coordination with the client to understand the needs of construction managers and common issues that arise during such projects. With continuous coordination, we developed cross-platform apps using React Native and related technologies.

01 . The Challenge

Managing construction projects is a complex and hectic task where seemingly small mistakes can have large consequences. Many construction management tools are available in the market, but most of them are complex and costly—not feasible for tech novices.

02 . The Solution

BuildScan app offers the solution by simplifying construction project management through a set of intuitive and easy-to-use features. Though it offers a comprehensive feature set, it is still accessible to non-technical people with limited technical skills.

Key Features

  • Defect management
  • Snag lists
  • Inspections
  • Tasks & checklists
  • Project workflow
  • Collaboration & communication
  • Reports

Technologies Used

  • React Native
  • Laravel Backend
  • React/Next Web
  • React CRM

Challenges & Roadblocks

Construction project management can be complex, and developing an app that addresses all major concerns in a typical construction project while keeping it accessible to non-technical people was challenging. We closely coordinated with technical persons and continuously improved the UI/UX of the app to make it more accessible to the users.

The Result

The app has successfully carved out a niche in the construction management tools market. It is available on Google Play, Apple App Store, and on the web.

Developed a B2C E-commerce App for a B2B Company

Client :

Room Services

E-Commerce, Android App Development

01 . About the Client

Boushahri Group is a respected name in Kuwait’s trading community, working in the market for more than 50 years. They deal in more than 25 local and international brands and have more than 350 employees.

Project Brief

Our client is a renowned trader in Kuwait and wanted to venture into the B2C market through an e-commerce platform. After discussing their strengths and plans, we agreed that developing an Android app is the best option to start connecting directly with the consumers. After deciding on the app features, we developed the Room Service app using React Native and related technologies.

01 . The Challenge

As a trading company, Boushahri Group is more involved in B2B. However, as a forward-looking organization, the group wanted to diversify its operations and connect directly with consumers.

02 . The Solution

With increasing e-commerce in Kuwait, it makes sense to offer an e-commerce app where consumers can buy directly from Boushahri Group, bypassing multiple middlemen. Thus, we decided to develop the Room Service Android app where users can search products or browse by category, and order their favorite products.

Key Features

  • E-commerce
  • Search or browse by category
  • Order tracking
  • Offers & deals
  • Gifts & cashbacks

Technologies Used

  • React Native
  • Laravel Backend
  • React/Next Web
  • React CRM

Challenges & Roadblocks

The Room Service app development required careful management of product data, including real-time updates on stock levels and pricing. Ensuring robust security measures to protect user data and transactions was critical as well, necessitating rigorous testing and compliance with industry standards.

The Result

The app is still in its initial stage with 1 K+ downloads on Google Play.

Combining Reliability of Traditional Tests with Convenience of Online Tests.

Client :

TestNow

Android App Development, Ed-Tech,Test-Taking

01 . Project Brief

Our client wanted to develop an app that organizations, educational institutes, and the government can use to assess the suitability of candidates by offering comprehensive tests. Through research and client discussions, we compiled a list of features required to conduct reliable tests and developed an Android app with React Native.

02 . About the Client

TestNow is an app by Wheebox, a 100% subsidiary of ETS (Educational Testing Service) headquartered in Princeton New Jersey, United States. Wheebox has worked with more than 3000 clients and delivered millions of assessments for corporations, institutions, and governments across the globe.

03 . The Challenge

Traditionally, organizations must choose between the following two when testing candidates:

  1. Testing candidates in a traditional setting where the candidates must be physically present at a testing center. This method offers more reliable results but is not very efficient as organizations need to spend resources to conduct the test and the candidates need to commute to the testing centers.
  2. Online tests are far more convenient but do not offer the same level of reliability due to the lack of proctoring.

04 . The Solution

The solution is to develop an app that combines the reliability of traditional onsite tests with the convenience and efficiency of online tests. We discussed our client requirements in detail, considered technical feasibility, and finalized a set of features that will offer the best of both worlds in the form of the TestNow Android app.

Key Features

  • AI-driven remote proctoring
  • Face recognition
  • Object recognition
  • Noise detection
  • TypingDNA
  • ID-card authentication
  • Movement tracking
  • 360-degree room scan
  • Advanced encryption
  • Auto-scale on Microsoft Azure

Technologies Used

  • React Native
  • Laravel Backend
  • React/Next Web
  • React CRM

05 . Challenges & Roadblocks

Developing TestNow required tackling multiple technical challenges to ensure both security and usability for high-stakes remote assessments. Implementing AI-driven proctoring, face recognition, and object detection demanded precise integration, and the addition of TypingDNA, ID authentication, and 360-degree room scanning introduced complex data handling and security protocols to protect candidate information and test integrity. We met all challenges through sound development practices, thorough testing, and continuous improvements.

06 . The Result

With 153 K+ tests conducted so far, the app was well received by organizations, educational institutes, and government entities.

01 . Project Brief

Our lives have become increasingly digital, with more time and activities spent in the online world. Realizing this, our client wanted to offer an all-encompassing digital lifestyle experience via Android and iOS apps. To create this super-app, we had detailed discussions from both marketing and technical points of view and decided on the features and technologies best suited for the dBazzar app.

02 . About the Client

dBazzar is a joint venture between S Pay Global and SAINS, both owned by the Sarawak Government. The two organizations joined hands to provide a true digital lifestyle experience via an Android and iOS app.

03 . The Challenge

As people spend more time online, they want to do more online. They want to shop, order food, make payments, and accomplish many other things in their online world.

04 . The Solution

Our client envisioned the solution as the dBazzar super-app that integrates many features in one app so that users can do more without switching apps. In addition to the convenience of doing things online, dBazzar offers eBusiness directory, eLogistics, eLoyalty, and eRewards for a digital lifestyle experience—all in one super-app.

Key Features

  • Curated list of merchants, organized by category
  • Location-based shopping with delivery and pickup options
  • Food order with delivery and pickup options
  • Cashless payments

Technologies Used

  • React Native
  • Laravel Backend
  • React/Next Web
  • React CRM

05 . Challenges & Roadblocks

Developing the dBazzar app required an advanced backend integrating a myriad of functions including e-commerce, real-time location services, secure payment processing, and more. We met these challenges with a precise balance between feature depth, performance, and cross-platform compatibility in mind to deliver a successful digital lifestyle app.

6 . The Result

The app is quite successful with 10 K+ downloads on Google Play and 38 ratings on Apple App Store. A look at user reviews reveals that they particularly like discounts and rewards offered by dBazzar. The following are some notable metrics for Android and iOS apps.

Koli

Category :

Developer :

The First Sol

Tags :

Social Media Platform, Android App Development, Influencer Marketing Platform

01 . Project Brief

Our client wanted to create a community of influencers and brands where they could connect. Thus, we developed the KOLI Android app where influencers can create profiles, showcase their work, and apply for projects. Brands can post projects, search and browse influencer profiles, and collaborate with them to promote their brands.

02 . About the Client

Influencer Pte Ltd has a mission to become a go-to platform for influencer marketing by offering opportunities to influencers to showcase their work while offering data-driven insights to brands enabling them to select the influencers best suited for their brand promotion.

03 . The Challenge

Today’s brands rely heavily on influencer marketing to connect to their audience and what we call social proof. However, in the era of TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, there are a large number of micro-influencers, and not all these influencers have dedicated managers to coordinate with brands. Similarly, brands find it hard to connect with these micro-influencers by searching them on different platforms.

04 . The Solution

Our client envisioned a platform where influencers and brands can come together and explore opportunities to work together.

Key Features

  • Account and profile creation
  • Showcase your work
  • Campaign creation
  • Features for influencers to apply for campaigns
  • Search influencers using required filters
  • Live chat
  • Live social media metrics of influencers

Technologies Used

  • React Native
  • Laravel Backend
  • React/Next Web
  • React CRM

05 . Challenges & Roadblocks

Building a matching algorithm that could accurately match brands with relevant influencers was critical. We built and tested the algorithm and search filters that consider a multitude of parameters for precise matching. We also implemented integrations with social media APIs to fetch updated metrics while keeping the high app performance.

06 . The Result

With 10K+ downloads, KOLI is a successful mobile app, considering it is a niche app relevant to influencers and brands only. The following are the download, rating, and review metrics for Google Play

Web App Developed for AI-Powered Photo Generation & Editing

Client :

STYLEY

Category :

Web App

Developer :

The First Sol

Tags :

AI-Powered Platform ,Photo Generation & Editing, SaaS

01 . Project Brief

Our client envisioned an AI-powered platform designed to create and edit images, catering to two key markets:

  • Home users seeking a fun way to create personalized pictures in various styles
  • Real estate agents and interior designers needing virtual staging tools to showcase properties with different furniture and decor styles, without physically altering the space.

02 . About the Client

Styley is a new player in the rapidly growing AI image generation market. We discussed our client’s vision and chose to build their own AI models to process image data, positioning their platform for both home and business users as part of their marketing strategy.

03 . The Challenge

Image generation and editing have uses for both home and business users. Traditional image editing is time-consuming and costly. For instance, imagine transforming a selfie into a scene featuring Thor from The Avengers, Jake Sully from Avatar, or Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones—all requiring complex and costly graphic design work. For business, virtual home staging is extensively used in the real estate, photography, and interior design industries. However, using conventional graphics editing software to remove furniture and redecorate rooms is labor-intensive and costly.

04 . The Solution

AI-powered image generation and editing have changed the industry. Now, users can quickly create custom images—whether it’s turning into Thor, posing as Jake Sully on Pandora, or Daenerys with her dragons—in just minutes, instead of hours. For business users, virtual staging becomes effortless. A room can be "emptied" and refurnished with furniture within minutes. This is precisely what we developed for Styley. After extensive discussions, we and the client agreed that building a custom AI image-generation engine was the optimal solution, rather than relying on third-party AI platforms and APIs. This approach provided more control over features and performance while eliminating recurring usage fees.

Key Features

For home users:

  • Create custom pictures
  • Virtual fashion try-ons
  • Face swaps
  • Generate pictures with friends

For business users:

  • Virtual room emptying
  • Furniture and décor placement
  • Integration with Zillow for property image retrieval

Technologies Used

  • React Native
  • Laravel Backend
  • React/Next Web
  • React CRM

05 . Challenges & Roadblocks

Developing bespoke AI models for realistic image creation is a complex task. We developed the models and fine-tuned and tested them continuously until we were satisfied with the results. We also paid special attention to complying with data handling and privacy laws.

06 . The Result

Styley has successfully launched with a growing user base, driving the platform’s continuous feature enhancements and expansion. Styley is continuously improving its features and marketing strategy to carve out its space in the AI image generation industry.
