&frankly
&frankly is a Stockholm-based company providing cloud-based services aimed at improving workplaces.
The tool helps companies regularly check employees’ pulse, maintain commitment, and boost engagement. Vilmate assisted &frankly in developing the iOS and Android versions of its existing web-based product.
The challenge
&frankly wanted to develop iOS and Android versions of its web-based Employee Engagement Software.
The client was looking for a reliable mobile development partner to implement and further expand the mobile version of the application over the long haul.
The product also had to support &frankly’s broader ambition: pushing for positive organizational change and making a difference in people’s everyday professional lives.
Our approach
The work started with the iOS and Android versions of &frankly’s web-based product and continued as the mobile application expanded.
Build the mobile team
Vilmate assembled a team of one iOS developer, one Android developer, one QA engineer, and one project manager. The team supported both development and testing as the mobile product expanded.
Work under direct client management
Throughout the ongoing project, Vilmate’s team has been managed directly by the client’s CTO, keeping the mobile development work aligned with &frankly’s product direction.
Improve and expand the product
The developers started by re-engineering the existing functionality, then continued with further improvements and mobile product expansion as the cooperation progressed.
