Business Challenge

The client had a legacy white-labelled mobile app that was difficult to scale due to the low scope for customization and lacked brand identity. The client was also migrating to a new OMS/RMS that was not supported by the white-labelled application. Thus, there was a dire need for a customized Mobile and Web Investment Platform that offers a superior experience wide range of functionalities, and reflects the brand identity of the client. The challenge from the client was to reinvent the application and ensure that it supports multiple exchanges, order types and wide range of functionalities and integrations.

  • Flutter’s widget-based app development and developer friendliness contributed to quick GTM.
