Fintech MVP in 12 Weeks: Secure, Scalable Solution by Engipulse

Client:

An early-stage fintech startup from Belgium aimed to revolutionize the way companies manage their expenses. The client had a validated product idea and roadmap in place and required a fully functioning MVP to demonstrate it to potential investors.

Services Provided:

Software Product Development, Experience Design , Value-Added Services – Discovery Phase

Technologies:

C#, ASP.NET, TypeScript, React Native, AWS

Project Overview:

Engipulse partnered with the client to deliver an MVP that would demonstrate the core value proposition of their product and begin acquiring early adopters. The product roadmap was already in place; however, thorough preparatory work was needed to make the business requirements implementation-ready.

Taking into account the tight timeline, it took us just two business days to assemble a dedicated cross-functional team of seven experts who got to work immediately: a Business Analyst, Solution Architect, UX/UI Designer, Backend Developer, Full-Stack Developer with React Native expertise, QA Engineer, and Project Manager.

Scope of Work:

• Detailed Business Requirements: Our business analysis team completed a discovery phase to clearly define the MVP scope.We conducted two deep-dive requirements elicitation sessions with client representatives and decomposed the product roadmap into a detailed, prioritized product specification and backlog.
• Experience Design: Designed a user-friendly, mobile-first interface that emphasized a minimalistic, clear design and ease of navigation.
• Solution Architecture: Our Solution Architect developed the technical design and defined an optimal technology stack with scalability and security in mind.
• Back-end Development: Built a scalable back end capable of supporting real-time data processing and future custom integrations with common ERP systems.
• Mobile Application: Developed a cross-platform mobile app using React Native that served as the core user interface.

Challenge:

The client faced a tight deadline and needed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to secure investment for further growth. They required a fully functional, future-proof, and secure product hosted in a production environment on the AWS cloud. The product had to be developed end-to-end in just 12 weeks, incorporating complex features such as expense input, image-to-text recognition for uploaded receipts, automatic expense categorization, and integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP. The pressure was on to deliver a high-quality product on time while balancing innovation, user experience, and security.
