Client

Reefashion is a fast-growing fashion company that has created a platform that allows users to sell and buy clothing.

The app runs on Android and iOS, and its mission is to promote conscious style and support sustainable fashion. In addition, the company is actively involved in environmental and charitable initiatives, gaining recognition among users.

Challenge

Technical problems – the previous vendor delivered the application with poorly designed architecture, numerous bugs and suboptimal code, which negatively affected performance and usability.

Lack of adequate support – the customer was not satisfied with the previous cooperation, and the application did not meet his expectations in terms of stability and functionality.

Outdated technologies – the libraries and frameworks used required refactoring and updating what was crucial for the further development and security of the application.

Lack of integration with suppliers – the platform lacked functionality to synchronize products with third-party apparel manufacturers, which limited sales opportunities.

Solution

Code refactoring

We conducted a codeaudit, which identified the problem areas of the application.

We have updated the libraries and frameworks to the latest versions, improving the stability and security of the system.

We reduced the redundancy of the code and optimized its structure, resulting in significantly improved application performance.

We have fixed key bugs reported by users improving the experience of using the application.

We have improved the search, filtering and shopping mechanisms what contributed to greater customer satisfaction.

Fixing functional errors

Expansion of
application with new
functionality

Integration with a third-party clothing manufacturer, enabling automatic synchronization with a third-party vendor with a large database of products, which also significantly increased the platform’ s offerings.

Expansion of the mobile version – we added new modules and improved the user interface, making the application more attractive.

We improved the application’s loading time, ensuring smooth performance across various devices.

We used modern data caching techniques to reduce the load on the servers and improve the responsiveness of the system.

We have introduced continuous monitoring and updates, so that the application runs stably and trouble-free.

Optimize performance
and stability

Thanks to our cooperation, Reefashion application underwent a thorough modernization, becoming an efficient, stable and competitive solution on the market. We improved its quality, expanded its functionalities and enabled further development according to the client’ s vision. The application has gained greater recognition among users.
