PROBLEM TO SOLVE
 

Genuine Impact founders were on a lookout for an experienced product design and development company to finish their efforts leading towards the MVP release.

The scope of work included:

• Providing an entire branding design for a Fintech company operating in a competitive environment
• Delivering intuitive and esthetic views and feature designs displaying several biases, charts, and statistics
• Introducing best business practices and requirements in design processes
• Anticipating specific guidelines and complex requirements of a highly specialized documentation

PROCESS & SOLUTION

Alister & Truman, two London-based founders searched for product design and UX agency, able to deliver mobile, desktop, and marketing assets shortly before releasing their MVP.

Merixstudio approached them underlining product design capabilities combined with experience gained through a proven track record. After gathering the requirements we started delivering mobile and UI designs, working collaboratively with the client.

Both Poznań and London-based teams maintained permanent communication using Slack and arranging videoconferences every 2-3 days. Due to tight deadlines, strictly determined by the business circumstances, the Merixstudio product design team delivered >20 unique views, logo, and entire branding assets.

Genuine Impact Founders were granted access to the Invision files, maintaining real-time communication. Constant feedback & best practices gave on-time delivery, followed by the 2nd, development phase.

After the successful delivery of designs, our frontend team undertook to deliver Vue.js components for the RWD web app, slightly implemented by the Genuine Impact in-house engineering team.

PROBLEM TO SOLVE

The Client reached out to Merixstudio with a need for experienced React developers that could serve as a supportive team extension in order to increase the velocity of their internal team and enrich the skillset. The key challenge for Merixstudio was to smoothly and quickly align themselves with the existing team and codebase in order to quickly contribute to the key milestones, namely unifying the onboarding process and redesigning the existing dashboard.

Moneyfarm’s mission is to give their customers the best solutions and support to protect and grow their wealth through time. They believe that everyone should be able to protect, promote and pursue his/ her wealth, without having to worry about it. We were very happy to help them in spreading this mission and bringing value to the customers.

PROCESS & SOLUTION

There have been over 9-months of close cooperation between Moneyfarm and Merixstudio’s React development team. We kicked off the project with a few day onboarding processes in their London headquarters where we had a chance to meet the team in person and learn the project’s specifics.

Merixstudio provided front-end development support for two of MF’s internal teams; among others, the onboarding team with a key focus of unifying the users’ onboarding process. This referred e.g. minimizing differences between the flows on web and mobile, doing groundworks for A/B testing on user flow. We also dealt with data analysis and data visualization (we used for these dygraphs and chart.js - JavaScript charting libraries).

We followed agile management using “Quarterfall” model i.e. planning in 3-month blocks where OKRs were derived from work prioritized for the quarter. The team incorporated Scrum that served as a framework for delivery and employed its ceremonies that facilitated the development.
