Music publishing project

TrackUpload is a music publishing project, intended to make track distribution plain and simple as it should always be.

Client request

We were asked to develop the platform for track distribution and full-scale albums upload:

1. Product development of user-friendly solutions

2. Not only programming, but understanding of artists’ workflow

3. Implementing crucial changes with a big existing userbase

Solution

A ready-to-use music publishing project, intended to make track distribution plain and simple as it should always be. A newly registered musician could upload his track or album into the system and get immediate access to all major publishing platforms without any delay.

Also, it grants the ability to upload a full-scale album(EP) and set up lots of details to make publishing process fast and reliable.

One of the most important things, besides artificial intelligence, was to create a data system that is as secure as possible. Because no one would want their personal thoughts to be read.

Worth to mention is the gamification function, which encourages the user to write daily, because the more you write about yourself there, the easier it is to identify the problem.

myREST Admin Panel

The myREST administration panel is probably our most comprehensive product. myREST is a Polish startup which is a marketing platform tailored for restaurants.

Thanks to this system, restaurateurs can collect information about their guests and conduct promotions, analyze traffic and manage processes. It allows the restaurant to get more reviews on platforms such as Google, TripAdvisor and so on.

The ecosystem includes:

- Delivery system.
- Reservation system.
- Electronic menu system.

In the administration panel, administrators can manage reservations, orders and menus in real time.

myREST SmartMenu

This electronic menu can be seen in more than 100 restaurants in Poland. The development of this menu has been constantly underway with the idea of making it as easy as possible to access.

The user can see the menu by scanning a special QR code or by scanning an NFC tag. All products and menu items are tightly integrated with the myREST administration panel which means that changes appear immediately on users’ screens. This saves restaurants the cost of printing the products.

Additionally an app with QR code scanner was developed for Android based mobile devices because not all Android devices have the ability to scan QR codes without installing additional apps. In addition, from this menu the user can call the waiter to his table with one click to place an order or pay the bill. The call is forwarded to the administrative part, to the screen that stands in the kitchen or reception. Additionally, a prototype wristband for waiters was developed. The possibility of making them was investigated, and the software part was written. However, at the moment the wristband project is frozen.

3D and VR models

In VRpartments real estate marketplace, 3D and VR models are powerful tools to revolutionize the property viewing experience.

The 3D models provide a detailed, three-dimensional representation of properties. They allow potential buyers or renters to get a comprehensive visual impression of a property and allow users to get a realistic feel for the space, all from the comfort of their own homes.

VR models take this experience a step further by creating an immersive virtual reality environment. Mobile app allows potential buyers or renters to virtually furnish their desired apartments and customize the space to match their taste and needs.

Both models are generated by the AI algorithms developed by the team based on the 2D plans received from developers. Users can explore every room of yet-to-be-built apartments, virtually walking through spaces and getting a feel for the layout and features as if they were physically there. This immersive and interactive experience allows potential buyers or renters to make informed decisions, regardless of the construction stage of the property.

AI algorithms

Our team developed advanced AI algorithms that are capable to transform traditional 2D floor plans into immersive 3D and VR models.

Mobile app that allows users to play educational games that combines the fun of playing, learning, treasure hunting, and the joy of discovery.

Questy is an innovative type of outdoor game that involves searching for treasures without any need of additional guidance, which makes it accessible and playable at any time.

By stamping and making an entry in the Quest Book, players proudly mark their successful adventure.

QUESTY – Wyprawy Odkrywców (which means “Explorer’s Quests”) is based on the American Valley Quest methodology created by Steven Glazer in 2008, which has since been adopted in Poland with hundreds of trails, or quests, now available. The Questy team is the most experienced in Poland and holds a license for the use of the Valley Quest methodology.

Client request

The client approached us when they already had the native app with some features and the main request was to increase the performance and to integrate additional features. After the comprehensive review of the existed solution founders decided to move the app to cross-platform framework.

One of the most challenging aspects of the project was migrating the native code to cross-platform. This required extensive testing to ensure that the user experience was not negatively impacted by the migration. We had to carefully plan the migration process to avoid any disruptions to the users’ workflow and ensure a seamless transition.

To accomplish this, we worked closely with the development team to study the source codes of the native applications and develop a plan for the migration process. We carefully reviewed the existing codebase, identified any potential issues, and developed solutions to overcome them.

Once we had a plan in place, we began rewriting the native code to React Native. This involved working with various React Native components and APIs to ensure that the app looked and functioned the same as before.

Throughout the development process, we carried out extensive testing to ensure that the app was stable and bug-free. We also worked closely with the user community to ensure that they were comfortable with the new version of the app and could easily migrate to it.

In the end, we successfully migrated the app to React Native without any major issues. The app now performs better, has a more consistent user experience, and is easier to maintain. We are proud of the work we did on this project.
