Challenge

Rally is known as the Nasdaq for classic car models and is aimed to democratize alternative investments (not mainstream real estate, fine art, and gold), giving users the ability to purchase shares in Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, etc. for as little as $50 per share.

The Client was seeking a software vendor with a successful track record of delivered integration projects as well as broad web and mobile app development experience.

As a part of the Rally distributed team, iTechArt was entrusted with a range of tasks:

Preparing the project roadmap and system documentation
Implementing new features and improvements into an iOS-based mobile application under very tight deadlines
Development of a multifunctional SPA and high-performing backend API
Maintenance and continuous application enhancement

Solution

Upon analyzing the Client's requirements and workflows, our web development team performed the following assignments:

Developing a feature-rich SPA based on the relevant and highly effective technological stack
Ensuring a flawless document management process
Delivering functionality for high-value assets trading platform
Integrating payment and wealth management system
Designing and implementing the referral system as a means of integrating new users and conducting promotional campaigns
Performing data flow optimization
Upgrading the technology stack to improve platform performance with the latest features available
Creating a custom web portal CMS to interact with the backend microservices
Implementing analytics and logging systems

Furthermore, Rally received comprehensive assistance with iOS mobile app development.

The Client’s work with a previous vendor resulted in poorly-engineered database models and relations. That’s why one of the first things the iTechArt team did was conduct a database architecture review. Also, we migrated the solution to Viper in order to enhance code maintenance and bug fixing.

Our developers then rolled out a series of integrations, including those with Stripe and Dwolla payment systems and an ‘Invite friends’ feature.

The key functionality of the delivered mobile app comprises:

Chat for investors
Highly intuitive UI for the transaction screen
The auction feature
Ability to make deposits and withdrawals from your account

The project is still in progress, so the iTechArt team continues to work on the product and steadily develops new features in line with the Client’s requests.
