Mobile App for an Exclusive Finance Event Built in 13 Weeks

Client

A leading multinational private bank from Switzerland with a history spanning over two centuries. The firm manages billions in assets for an international client base.

Project

The company sought to enhance networking and connectivity for its exclusive community at a high-profile international event. The objective was to develop a proof-of-concept (PoC) mobile application that would facilitate meaningful interactions among attendees while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards.

Challenges

The project had to be completed within a strict three-month timeline to be ready before the event. Given the stringent regulations of the financial industry, the app also needed to meet rigorous security standards to ensure compliance and protect user data.

Additionally, it was crucial to design the app in a way that would sustain user engagement long after the event had concluded, ensuring its long-term relevance and success.

Solution

A fully functional React Native application was developed in just 13 weeks, leveraging Firebase for backend support. The app was designed to provide a seamless networking experience while integrating strict security measures to meet industry standards.

Users could easily access schedules, speaker details, and key event information within the app. Attendees had the ability to create personalized profiles to showcase their interests, making networking more effective.

The app also facilitated seamless connections between attendees through direct messaging, allowing for real-time communication. Additionally, the recommendations helped users discover relevant connections based on their profiles, enhancing engagement and interaction.

To improve accessibility and convenience, the app enabled easy sign-ins and calendar synchronization, ensuring attendees could manage their schedules effortlessly.

Throughout the development cycle, industry best practices were implemented to maintain the highest levels of security and compliance, guaranteeing a safe and reliable user experience.

Results

The PoC mobile app was successfully delivered within the three-month deadline, leading to several positive outcomes:

• attendees and stakeholders praised the app’s usability and functionality,
• based on its success, the company decided to continue developing the app beyond the event,
• user workshops helped refine features, ensuring continued relevance and adoption.
