CodeRiders

The project goal of the Lifestyle management software was to develop a private, cloud-based operating system that helps to manage every aspect of digital life. Dwel is specifically for managing family life and maintaining an efficient household. The goal for the users is to have more free time.

Two software developers from CodeRiders software development house joined the project to provide customized software development services. The project ran for 12 months.

The team provided daily reports about the software development progress. One of the project managers also took part in the task reporting to keep the communication smooth and clear.

CHALLENGE

Dwel is a custom platform for Loyalsoft P/L to facilitate better household management, better communication between family members, and a better lifestyle. Loyalsoft is a startup focused on IoT technologies integration into lifestyle and household management practices. Dwel's goal is to streamline and automate household activities - such as meals preparation, house chores, record keeping, budgeting, document management, and a few others.

Loyalsoft needed to produce a highly functional version of its online operating system. It is comprised of multiple apps targeting lifestyle and household management. The goal was to produce a credible version of the operating system to show prospective users the positive impact such software could have on their lifestyles.

SOLUTION

CodeRiders team worked both on the back-end and front-end development parts of Dwel Online for about 2 years. Loyalsoft short-listed CodeRiders and hired us for a small trial project. The outcome was extremely satisfactory, so it was easy to award us the entire contract. We built a suite of web apps that is a useful tool for streamlining and automating home life.

Our software development team built the Dwel platform, which is a single place from where the users can control all their smart things: turn on lights, regulate temperature, operate TVs, send music to speakers, lock doors, open blinds, turn on sprinklers, etc.

Besides, the users can store, organize and manage all their data, documents, messages, photos, bills, transaction records, and everything else they currently store in their email. It is a communication portal for sending messages, chatting, publishing posts, and sharing life without giving any private information to third-party platforms.

The IoT operating system developed by us supports multiple applications. We built the system based on UI mock-ups and a requirement set.

The software is going to have new functionalities soon, and CodeRiders is the official team that will handle the development.

So far, we have already built:

• Document management system to organize info and photos
• Finance management system to spend money smartly and save more
• Shared calendar to keep track of important family events and appointments
• Complete meal planning software and cooking system to make a chef out of anyone
• Task management system to keep up with chores and errands
• Shopping list for groceries and other consumables bought regularly
• Message board for household members to replace sticky notes on the fridge
• Social media-style app to show special offers from local shops
• System setup and software configuration management app

Translated collaborated with CodeRiders to build a plugin for the collaborative interface design tool, Figma. The plugin allows Figma users to translate their design into multiple languages without leaving Figma. One of CodeRiders’ software developers worked on this 4-month project together with a project manager.

CodeRiders’ software developer provided daily reports about the project's progress through online calls, while our project manager held organizational calls to deal with the non-technical questions. Our first cooperation with the team Translated was a success, so we carried on with other projects as well. Now, our partnership is ongoing, and we are working on other projects, providing custom API development services for the translation industry.

CHALLENGE

Translated is an Italy-based language service provider. It uses a powerful combination of human creativity and machine intelligence to craft consistent, high-quality translations at speed by translating professional documents, manuals, websites, and software and adjusting them to the client's schedule and requirements.

The company provides human translation services in 194 languages and 40 areas of expertise. Translated has been in the market for the last 20 years and has over 260K+ clients.

CodeRiders provided one software developer and a project manager to expand the company’s “service package” and to build and implement a new translation plugin for Figma users.

The client’s goal was to expand its variety of services to Figma users by translating designs into various languages without building them from scratch.

SOLUTION

CodeRiders built and implemented this plugin from scratch. We cooperated closely with the client on a time-and-material-based software development engagement model using Agile methodology. The plugin should have had 2 types of translation flows: machine only and human. We created and combined these 2 translation flows along with the following main functions and more:

• Build simple ModernMT API key memorization to request translation and manage memories. ModernMT is the state of the art machine translation platform.

• Build translation tabs with the following selections through base import functionality:

  • Content selection
  • Service selection
  • Language selection
  • Settings selection

• Log-in functionality for human translation users and order tracking functionality

• Update functionality for translate tabs

• Connect with the Translated TMS (translation management system), TranslationOS in human translation requests

• Work with Webpack to combine all the project modules into one or more bundles

• Work with UI design.

The CodeRiders' project manager took care of all the non-technical questions, management, and organizational matters as the software developer was experienced enough to carry on with smooth communication.

The project is already completed and will be available in the Figma plugin community soon.

The project goal of the School management app was to develop an education management software that would connect teachers with parents and students, as well as digitize the whole school administration.

One web developer and one mobile developer from CodeRiders software development house joined the project to provide customized software development services. The project ran for 12 months. One project manager (PM) was also assigned to conduct the whole development and communication process. The team provided weekly reports about the software development progress.

CHALLENGE

Butterfly Milk is a creative English school based in Hong Kong. It aims to teach English to schoolchildren creatively and interactively, organizing the learning process in a unique and fun way.

The project goal was to digitize the whole school management process, have everything online, track the classes, and be able to manage the classes virtually. Therefore, our challenge was to not only create a school management app (both web and mobile) fully from scratch but also to run the MVP project and make the required changes to the already existing system on the go.

SOLUTION

CodeRiders team provided both web development and mobile development services. For the first stage we designed the system fundamentals and databases, paying great attention to its detailed and well-ordered structure, which will help to build further functionalities without any hassle.

Our web and mobile developers started their work simultaneously and co-operated with each other during the whole software development process to be on the same page. Hence, we created a web platform for teachers, with which they could:

• Manage, edit, and add classes to the school calendar with drag and drop functionality
• Assign tasks to students and send learning materials
• Level up students by moving them from one class to another
• Make individual notes for each student and send a student progress report to parents
• Manage, edit, and add new words in the dictionary database with images and pronunciation sounds
• Link dictionary words to books
• Add homonyms in the dictionary and assign them to corresponding words
• Add books and movies for the classes
• Track student’s progress
• Track books’ borrows and returns for each student
• Create gamified custom quizzes for students
• Arrange and schedule appointments with parents
• Manage inner tasks with a Trello-like panel

Meanwhile, we created the mobile application for students' parents. With this school management mobile app, they could:

• Get the assignments for their children
• Link more than one child to their account and manage both profiles accordingly
• Track their child’s currently borrowed books
• See their individual dictionary words, listen to their pronunciations
• Make notes for teachers
• Make appointments with teachers
• Students can play different types of gamified quizzes

The project is on hold now and is soon going to be relaunched. There is a list of far more advanced functionalities for the 2nd phase of development. The beta version of the application is now live on Apple Store and Play Market. It is smoothly running on both iOS and Android systems.
