The Brief
Frustrated with your app developer and app's stability? See how we took over and revamped Cass Olholm's app from a different app developer.
Train With Cass approached PixelForce with significant challenges concerning their existing mobile app's performance and stability, managed by another agency. The app was experiencing frequent downtime, slow performance, and high maintenance costs, impacting user satisfaction and operational efficiency.
The main challenge was to overhaul the app to enhance performance, reduce technical debt, and ensure high stability without interrupting the ongoing user experience. The project required comprehensive system refactoring, optimisation of existing features, and implementation of robust testing protocols to ensure that new updates did not compromise the app's functionality.
Our Solution
In addressing the challenges faced by the Train With Cass app, our focus was on delivering a high-performing, stable, and cost-effective mobile platform. We aimed to transform the app's backend architecture to support enhanced functionality and user engagement.
System Refactoring: We undertook a thorough refactoring of the existing codebase to clean up legacy code and streamline operations. This process involved reorganising the code structure to improve logic flow and reduce complexity, which helped in minimising bugs and reducing future technical debt.
Performance Optimisation: Our team optimised the app's performance by enhancing its responsiveness and loading times. We implemented efficient caching strategies and optimised database queries to handle higher loads with less processing time.
Stability Improvements: To ensure the app's stability, we introduced automated testing frameworks that continuously check the integrity and performance of the app. This helped in identifying potential crashes and issues in early stages, significantly reducing the crash rate. - Maintenance Cost Reduction: By improving the code quality and implementing a more robust architecture, we effectively reduced the app's maintenance demands and costs. Continuous integration and deployment processes were set up to allow for smoother updates and feature rollouts.

Technical Breakdown
The redevelopment of the Train With Cass app resulted in a significant uplift in performance metrics and user satisfaction. By addressing the core issues of technical debt and system inefficiencies, we achieved a 99% uptime and a 90% reduction in crash rates, which marked a dramatic improvement from its previous state. The reduction in maintenance costs by 50% not only optimised operational efficiency but also allowed for better allocation of resources towards new feature development and user experience enhancements. This project exemplifies our expertise in turning around troubled applications by implementing strategic technical improvements and robust testing protocols.
