About the project

Modern Money is a personal finance application that allows you to take control of your money and build your financial portfolio with both fiat- and crypto-currencies. 

Modern Money is a multi-signature wallet, which is like a safe with two keys -one controlled by you and another controlled by the app. For additional security, every transaction is authorized by both a fingerprint and a PIN code. Thus, no one can take your money, even in case you lose your phone or have it stolen. 

• Send and receive fiat and cryptocurrency
• Blockchain-powered integration and settlement
• Prepaid card integration, personal vault, paying bills
• Allows easy white labeling

How we helped

We acted not only as software development professionals but also as consultants on the project. We proposed the final vision for the product, changing it from a personal finance app to a mobile wallet with biometric authentication and payment integrations.

Beside these strategic product changes, we have also introduced a QA Automation framework improving release cycles and overall product quality. Thus, we were involved in all stages of product development, from UX/UI design to software development and testing of the product, as well as in the creation of go-to-market, client expansion, and white-labeling strategies.

About the project

This app recommends the right apparel size based on a 3D model generated from user photos and body measurements.

The process is simple - users provide only a couple of front and side photos of themselves, as well as their height and weight measurements. A 3D model is generated with 99.5% accuracy and is ready to use when choosing clothes. Based on data provided by our partners we suggest the right apparel size for each user.

How we helped

The solution was complex in terms of implemented technologies - neural network and custom algorithms, API, native iOS and Android apps. We performed a very detailed competitive research and identified a product niche. The team not only delivered the product but also provided the strategic vision for it. Meanwhile, we managed to achieve the following:

• Reach high levels of accuracy of human body measurements
• Reach high levels of 3D model accuracy and presentation
• Create and train a neural network
• Develop a well-documented API that could be used both internally and externally

The team created intellectual property in the domains of background subtraction, human body registration, human shape fitting, and measurement extraction.

About the project

Smart Valor wanted to develop an ICO platform with tokenization engine to host the public funding of companies and later facilitate the investment in digital assets. The aim was to develop a decentralized, community-based marketplace for tokenized alternative investments. 

The platform enables investors to purchase cryptocurrencies, utility and security tokens in compliance with the Swiss law, as well as to manage their portfolios more efficiently.

How we helped

Due to the dynamic nature and high risk associated with cryptocurrencies we had to apply the highest security standards and have scalability in mind when designing and developing the system.

To support some of the requirements and facilitate business processes the team made several integrations with payment processors and enterprise applications. The system our team developed consists of microservices which were built, tested and deployed through CI/CD pipelines in Concourse.
