Challenges Client’s business goals are to reach a huge global audience with this webinar exclusive video content platform. They needed a scalable and reliable platform that provides ease of use. In addition, they needed an easy to use interfase for final users and clients. They wanted to monetize the content through a membership service. As a small startup, they bootstrapped the entire process with us.Planned Solution and Innovation We built the first MVP, which eventually evolved into a fully functional and scalable platform. The whole architecture rests on Google’s infrastructure. We built a video encoder service which reduces the original size of the video without losing quality.TaskCustom theme editor which gives the clients the ability to change the look and feel of every webinar. Support for custom domains. Smart mailing lists according multi factor analysis. SMS and PN support Use of webhooks to deliver specific messages to particular events. Multi language support. Create an statistics app to track webinar’s metrics. Integrate third-party authentication systems such as Amazon, Sendgrid & Twilio. Multiple hosting supports (static files hosted in AmazonS3, YouTube, Vimeo) Creation of the Webinar’s API Creation of a video encoder service for the most popular video formats.

Cohley is the first platform that connects brands and social media influencers.It’s designed to help brands manage their relationship with influencers and ultimately enabling a better engagement with their main audiences. Furthermore, through Cohley companies can search influencers that match their respective values.The ChallengeAlong the process with Cohley we’ve faced several challenges. First of all they needed to build the entire dashboard from previously prepared mockups and app documentation. Our team had to develop from an MVP (in three months) to several new features that proved fundamental for fostering the platforms growth. Also the continuously changing requirements and scope of the project was something our team had had to adapt to.The SolutionWe assigned a team of 2 full-time developers for the project and also made available additional resources as they were needed. Our team developed the platform using Django Python as a structural basis, with a few other languages mixed in, and also integrated Instagram API, Google Analytics, and Stripe as part of the solution.Some of the features we developed proved highly effective, for example, an algorithm for identifying potential influencers. Furthermore, our team developed an instant chat that not only send messages but also real time notifications of events. Another remarkable feature we created is a content library through which brands can buy pictures, made available by influencers, for their campaigns.The ResultsWe developed a scalable platform from scratch according to client’s expectations in time. Therefore, Cohley was very content with our work and we continue to provide regular development services for them. Also we are proud that some of the features we integrated proved to be fundamental for the platform’s positive development.

Find Your Trainer is a new online marketplace which is revolutionizing the personal training industry in a similar way to how OpenTable, ZocDoc and AirBnB are transforming how we reserve restaurants, find doctors and travel. Find Your Trainer helps its customers to “get fyt” by letting them effortlessly search, book and pay for high quality and affordable personal training sessions at top gyms and studios without a gym membership, or in-home anytime, from anywhere.The ChallengeThe client needed qualified developers with extensive knowledge and previous experience on “Product Building” and “Software Maintenance”. Devsar was first contracted in order to maintain their existing platform which was built by another offshore IT team. We were responsible for the Frontend and Backend of the product. As a result of that initial project, Devsar became the main contractor and finally took over the full management of the product.The SolutionWe helped FYT expand their engineering capabilities and increase their development pace. Initially, we started out augmenting a small portion of the team that they had in-house and started contributing to their custom code. Since then, we become the primary team of the product. Now, we take care of the biggest priorities and some of the high-level project management responsibilities on an ongoing basis.We are planning and working to expand the platform even more in the near future.
