After either years of development or fast prototyping, multiple companies face the phase of getting slower on developing new features because the accumulated legacy code is overwhelming or directly the app got outdated compared to the current industry standards.

This scenario can create several difficulties, not only from a customer point of view, where the app can feel either less attractive or functional, but also from a company perspective, facing the problem of having a really slow release cycle or a different kind of impact, like the issues on hiring developers because they reject to work on a project with that kind of old codebase.

Smartify app is a good example of a fast app prototype that got excellent recognition among the community. It is backend driven, an incredible challenge, that gives Smartify the flexibility of creating artwork info pages, museum definitions, tours descriptions, among other cool features, based on a specification, that ends on the app where a UI layer is in charge of creating the needed components, for example using new technologies as Android Compose.

One of the most interesting challenges fillthegapp has faced was to help Parkmobile to renovate their app while creating a white-label solution that could support other 2 apps they have in different code bases. All of them were similar, but all of them with different aspects that make them unique (UI and UX with different styles with a need of a strong design system foundation, functionalities focused on specific business needs, etc).

With an iterative approach, we helped to build a technical roadmap that made Parkmobile able to release a new version and evolving the product including the missing features, but also new features that were important from Product perspective. All this enabled the possibility of releasing the same codebase for the other production apps, as soon as their functionalities were achieved and boosting the positive reviews across the complete user base.

Mulberrys Garment Care is an American company that focuses on high-end clothing cleaning service and where the customers were used to see their stores in any of the neighborhoods of San Francisco where they are located.

During an initial brainstorming we collaborated in analysing the business to put on top of the table all the possible scenarios that an app could open. The idea behinds Mulberrys is most probably familiar for all of us, but an app could help to evolve the business in a different way, improving the communication with their customers and enabling the possibility of scheduling orders to fit the busy customer calendars.

Nowadays Mulberrys customers can enjoy native iOS and Android apps where they can schedule pick up orders, drop their clothes in any of the multiple lockers they have available or simply follow their orders status. This business transformation has helped them to continue expanding successfully across the States while keeping a loyal and happy user base.
