The Challenge

The main challenge for us was, to analyze this entire new concept, understand each aspect of the system, its work flow, all the core functions and relationships between each key entities being participated across the networks.

Perception system approached the client with the best User Interface explicitly designed for the Customers, hence the UI & UX had to be easy to use with straightforward navigation with swift & smooth workflow.

Project Scope

Analysis

We have allocated our BA team to analysis the client’s requirements. In the beginning, the software development team has analyzed the concept of hypothetically. Afterward, we have closely inspected the entire process.

Project Planning

Based on our findings, we have created flow diagrams for the entire workflow and plan the project development process by defining technical implementations.

Project Architecture

This project was for iOS App development so the architecture was completely different than the Web System. We’ve implemented MVC architecture especially designed for mobile apps.

Wireframe & Prototypes

After several attempts and meetings with the client-side team, our designers have prepared wireframes and prototypes citing all possible workflow diagrams, navigation, and data flows.

Designing & Programming

After getting final approval from the client for prototypes, we have started final designing of the interface, UI elements, and various modules. We tested the modules on each stage and completion of each milestone.
