About the Project
Our client contracted Edvantis to develop a web application from scratch. The purpose of this application was to reduce paperwork and facilitate smooth communication between property owners/managers and professional landscapers. The application would allow the service provider to create and present proposals for landscape enhancements to property owners/managers to review and approve.
Challenge
The primary need was for a minimum viable product (MVP) of a user-friendly and visually captivating platform that would seamlessly fit into the customer’s workflow, allowing them to create visual representations of their landscaping solutions. This had to be achieved while adhering to the strict requirement for an original product and constraints such as sensitivity to customer requirements, a tight timeframe, and a capped budget.
Solution
Edvantis acted as the primary tech expert, providing valuable advice to business-oriented company decision-makers on optimal delivery, the tech stack, and the software development life cycle (SDLC).
We assembled a team of five people, including a Team Lead, Scrum Master, UI/UX Designer, Quality Assurance Engineer, and Frontend Developer. Together, they supported the end-to-end SDLC from requirements elicitation and MVP conceptualization to final product release and maintenance.
To deliver the MVP within the tight time frame, we chose Google’s app development platform, Firebase, for its ready-to-use features and easy setup that enable Software Developers to build prototypes and applications quickly, reducing the total development time. Additionally, Firebase facilitates web application hosting and integration of other services, such as Google Analytics.
The Edvantis team utilized the following Firebase features:
- Firebase Firestore: A flexible, scalable database for mobile, web, and server development, with advanced query capabilities, offline support, and automatic data synchronization.
- Cloud Functions for Firebase: A serverless framework which allows running custom back-end code in response to events triggered by Firebase features and HTTPS requests.
- Cloud Storage for Firebase: Secure storage and serving of user-generated content such as images, videos, and other files.
Results
In just four months, the client received a fully functional MVP with a list of critical features, allowing them to test their product idea without making a significant investment.
During this time, Edvantis managed the hosting, monitoring, alerting, and provided ongoing technical support for the MVP application. This ensured smooth operation and addressed any issues that arose during user acceptance testing. Additionally, new features and enhancements were continuously added based on user feedback.
The Edvantis team also established a knowledge-sharing process, provided technical onboarding, and regularly updated the product development documentation to support the client’s needs.

I was the product owner for a new solution that needed business analysis, project management, UI/UX design, front-end/back-end development, and QA. Additionally, we had a relatively tight time frame and budget constraints that needed to be adhered to. The entire team participated in the discovery sessions where each member made sure that they understood the requirements and offered various alternative solutions to ensure that we stayed within our timing and budget constraints.
Edvantis quickly put together a comprehensive, multi-disciplined team and we were defining the initial deliverables within a week of the request.

Edvantis is a PARTNER — not a vendor. I started very early with Edvantis and was impressed with the depth of talent and the individual commitment by the CEO.
