Ice House

Ice House collaborated with Luxury Shoe Club, a designer shoe exchange platform, to develop a mobile application for its users. The company required a high-quality agency to manage the project, test, design the frontend, and ensure functionality. Ice House successfully worked with an external backend developer for deployment on Amazon, using an Agile approach for effective communication across different time zones. The application was built using Node.js in Docker containers, with iOS development on the frontend. The app allowed users to window shop before joining, exchange shoes using club points, and interact with other members through a Facebook-like feature called Shoe Circle. The project, which started in May 2015, cost between $250,000 and $300,000 and is still ongoing.

In another project, Ice House partnered with a personal software design agency to develop a map-based communication platform. The agency required a full-bodied development team to create native iOS, Android, and web apps. Ice House provided high-quality developers from different parts of the world and top-level management to oversee developer productivity. The team was involved in both frontend and backend development, with the design firm providing all the documentation around design and information architecture. The app, described as Slack built on top of Google Maps, allows users to conduct real-time messaging across a mapping ecosystem. The project, which started in August 2015 and was completed in February 2016, cost between $300,000 and $600,000.
