Cuttlesoft

Cuttlesoft was engaged by a nonprofit organization to develop a custom software app for their brew fest event. The custom mobile app, designed for both iOS and Android devices, allowed users to rate and track beers, and find retailers to purchase their favorites. The app also provided information about breweries and beers, and enabled users to engage directly with breweries. The project, which was originally valued at $25,000, was partly sponsored by Cuttlesoft, bringing the final investment to about $15,000. The project spanned from June to August 2014, and the client worked with a team of 3-5 people from Cuttlesoft, including a designer, a project manager, and developers.

A tech startup hired Cuttlesoft to correct technical errors, complete the buildout, and design and implement solutions for outstanding issues left by a previous vendor. Cuttlesoft was selected for their proficiency with the startup’s existing platform, Ruby on Rails, and their flexibility to accommodate rapidly evolving software development needs. The team of four, including the director of operations, director of engineering, product manager, and two engineers, improved the product’s UI/UX components, fixed bugs, evaluated and cleaned up code, increased test coverage, updated documentation, and designed and implemented new features.

The Chef Ann Foundation, a nonprofit organization promoting whole-ingredient, scratch cooking in schools, hired Cuttlesoft to add new features and enhancements to an existing custom application, provide ongoing maintenance and support, and offer technical guidance and recommendations for development. Cuttlesoft was selected due to their proximity, budget-friendly pricing, cultural fit, and aligned company values. The team assumed management of the previously-built custom application, built out the next phase of enhancements, identified gaps and loopholes in the existing app, strengthened overall platform security, and provided ongoing maintenance and support.
