Raconteur Digital

Raconteur Digital was engaged by UK parcel company, Hermes, to overhaul their legacy app and website. The company sought to create a "digital future" that would provide industry-leading services and products. Raconteur Digital assisted in shaping the strategy, roadmap, and vision for the project. They developed mobile apps for iOS and Android, incorporating user-centered design and creating prototypes. The app was designed with multiple features for customers to track parcels, make returns, and send parcels. Despite being a minimum viable product, the app included advanced features such as augmented reality for scanning parcel numbers. The project was completed within the timeline and budget.

Raconteur Digital was hired by a company that connects sport and entertainment stars to trusted brands and service providers. The company needed a team to manage their project and deliver an app. Raconteur Digital handled project management, road mapping, gap analysis, and development. They also managed the wireframes, UX, and other needs for the app, which is currently only for iOS. The team from Raconteur Digital consisted of about ten people, including a main contact, two product owners, and a business development lead. The work is ongoing.

Raconteur Digital worked with a UK-based educational charity that promotes information about veganism. The charity had two engagements with Raconteur Digital, both involving the fix of a veganism-related app. Raconteur Digital built off of existing code to complete both projects, making the app easier for users. The app functions as a month-long program, presenting users with a video including popular vegan influencers, a quiz surrounding veganism, and recipes and discounts. Raconteur Digital was involved most heavily in the back-end development of the app, focusing on the database and the storage of user data. The first engagement started and ended in November 2019, and the second project lasted from January–February 2020.
