At MobileThinking, we are a team of experts in business solution development. With our varied and complementary skills, we accompany you in your project from the ideation phase to its production, through its design and technical realization. To understand our approach, here are a few details on the steps that mark out our development process.

Identify your needs and lay the foundations for your project

We collect all your functional needs during a one-hour consulting session (free of charge and without any commitment on your part). In our offices or by videoconference, depending on your preference, you explain the scope of your project, and present us in detail your functional needs as well as your technical constraints.
During this preliminary meeting, our team is at your disposal to advise you on the technical direction to take. This is the time to put all your questions on the table, whether they concern :
  • our mode of operation ;
  • our skills ;
  • our references ;
  • the different possibilities available to you in terms of application or web development. 
We assure you that you will not leave without clear and understandable answers!
Thanks to this first constructive exchange, as well as the experience we've built up since 2014, we're in a position to define the scope of the work to be carried out. We can then provide you with an initial budget estimate for the project!

Defining the Technology Stack

Using the details you give us during this initial consultation, we can then decide which technology stack is best suited to meet the functional needs of your project. Our aim is to treat each project as unique, while offering a truly customised solution and personalised development. Depending on your needs, the choice of technologies may vary : 
  • Laravel ;
  • Angular ;
  • VueJS ;
  • Kotlin ;
  • iOS Swift ;
  • Ionic ;
To name a few, they are part of our extensive technical background. At MobileThinking, we have multiple and complementary skills.

Thanks to this technical expertise, based on our extensive experience and continuous training, we are able to advise on the technological stack that best suits our clients' needs.

Technologies to be used, data model, architecture, server and client application interactions, design integration in the user interface, everything is defined during this phase.

Finally, you should know that we prefer to work on mature technologies, because they are obviously more reliable and have a wider range of tools.

Building a team tailored to your project

The development team is then defined thanks to the technological stack chosen to carry out the mission. Indeed, each of us has particular technological affinities (mobile development, web, software, web application).

We therefore modulate the team so that each project benefits from the best possible skills from its launch.

We pay particular attention to this aspect, because the development phase of an application is essential to ensure its success. And if you're wondering how long your project can be developed by MobileThinking, we can provide you with an estimate within a week of the feasibility study.

Structuring, optimising and launching the development process

The project is divided into a list of tasks, each corresponding to a specific functionality. These tasks are then assigned to members of the development team according to their skills.

Each task is developed sequentially: once coded, it is immediately tested and, if necessary, corrected. Once the specifications have been fully met, the task is validated.

This modular process, which combines planning, implementation and testing as it goes along, allows rapid progress and precise control at every stage. Thanks to this approach, problems are identified and corrected quickly, optimising development and reducing the risk of major errors at the end of the project.

Maintaining active collaboration for agile development

To ensure effective synergy, it is essential that the customer remains in close contact with the development team. At MobileThinking, we recommend meetings at least twice a month. Based on our experience on numerous projects, this frequency is the minimum necessary to ensure productive and efficient collaboration.

During this bi-monthly contact point, you have access to the development status of your project, and we can gather your feedback. By doing this at the beginning of the development process, we can take into account your remarks and other requests as we go along. We turn them into tasks and the development process starts again in a smooth and efficient loop.

Conclusion

Our working methods require a real involvement of the customer throughout the project, this close collaboration bringing many advantages. Coupled with a qualitative development and tested along the way, it is the guarantee of the full satisfaction of the project owner, the experience of many projects being the proof! Whatever you wish to implement, do not hesitate to ask for your free hour of consultation and benefit from our expertise!
