Maemo is an online rental service. With it, users can save time and money by renting things they need instead of buying extra stuff. Or they can rent out the things they don’t need at the moment and generate income.

The major aim of the project was to create the platform which makes rental process and user communication easy and comprehensible.

Triplook is a new service app in the sphere of tourism and dating with the elements of a social network. The service is aimed at helping users quickly find a fellow-traveler for long-distance trips or short vacation.

Stfalcon.com has developed a design and a mobile application for iOS and Android platforms. Server-end portion of the app was implemented on client’s side as a convenient and well-documented REST-API.

For instant messaging, we developed our own service for publisher’s event processing.  In our case, it is a core application which sends information about a new event (for example, notion about a new fellow-traveler) on the server. Realtime work service sends this even on the client:

— by sockets, if the user is online;

— by push notification or email, if the user is offline.

The advantage of this solution is in its simplicity and independence from programming language or framework: the messages between the servers are sent by AMPQ-protocol. Messages from the server on the client are sent by WebSocket protocol (RFC 6455).

Busfor is the online ticket sales service that allows you to purchase tickets for domestic and international travels. It works in Ukraine, Russia, Europe and South-East Asia.

At the early stage, we helped this company to enter the mobile market by creating apps for iOS and Android as fast as possible.

Solution

The main task was to provide customers with a mobile application for buying tickets, moving away from using a mobile browser. Initially, Busfor had a working site with adaptive layout that supported mobile phones. In mobile apps we decided to use WebView technology — it allowed to develop and publish mobile apps in the AppStore and Play Market in the short terms.

In addition to the site shell, we implemented authorization via phone number and sending notifications to the app. For example, a confirmation of payment of a ticket or a reminder of an upcoming travel.

Outcome

As a result, Busfor successfully entered the mobile market of bus tickets distribution. Now, the service brings together more than 5 thousand carriers on 20 thousand routes across Ukraine, CIS and Europe.

SmartSeeds is a service connecting both cargo owners and cargo carriers in one system in order to complete mutually beneficial transactions on transportation of grains and oilseeds. Initially, it covers the territory of Russian Federation, but with time it is envisaged to work in other CIS countries too.

This service integrates several types of users at the same time. From one sight there are grain owners and grain traders. They are interested in cargo delivery from the elevator after harvesting to terminal or port from where this cargo is sent to destination. One of the features of transportation process is the volume. Cargo can reach up to thousands of tons and it is necessary to have many trucks available. Also, cargo can not be in stock for a long time and has to be collected in time.

Before the launch of SmartSeeds cargo owners that don’t have proper vehicles had to solve this problem with own efforts by searching carriers. Moreover generally more than one carrier is required to handle the transportation process in limited time due to big volumes of cargo.

NIC.UA is one of the largest domain name registrar and hosting provider in Ukraine. Previously it was using a monolith server but together with NIC.UA team we have divided this system into backend and frontend parts. Now the service is flexible, scalable and has a smart domain search satisfying clients’ needs.

We were required to:

• Transfer website to Symfony PHP framework.
• Change domain search principles.
• Create a custom admin dashboard for managing website content.
• Introduce horizontal scaling and continuous integration.
• Implement websockets for faster search.

This is a service of goods delivery from foreign online stores. For several reasons, the first version of the site did not solve the customer's business objectives and the management of logistics company decided to do a full restart of the service.

• Make a new homepage design, redesign the entire interface;
• Rewrite a software engine from scratch on Symfony2;
• Make a custom admin dashboard for content management;
• Make an admin dashboard for warehouse operators;
• Implement multi-domain, multi-template and multi-language;
• Integrate website with external NPI (SOAP) service.

UARoads is a startup created by stfalcon.com and probably our most favorite project. The quality of Ukrainian roads is far from being good — 95% of all roads are in unsatisfactory condition. Bad road surface increases the risk of traffic accidents and influences car maintenance costs. That’s why in 2013 we have launched our startup for drivers called UAroads.
