Background

The app is the top telecom app for Vietnamese users. With an extensive user base, the client requires multiple vendors to work on different sections of the app. And GEM was delegated to maintain the Subscription section of the app.  

Challenges

Each month, the client gathered feedback from customers and sent a list of requirements for the Subscription section. Based on the requirements, the GEM team developed new functionalities and fixed bugs on the app. There was also a KPI framework to ensure the quality of each month’s deliverables.

For many functions, the GEM team had to collaborate with other development teams and figure out the solutions for the client. The client also delegated GEM to integrate the app with another media platform to enable in-app streaming for the Entertainment section.   

Solutions

In the Subscription section, our Project Manager had dedicated their time to carefully analyze requirements from the client. Meanwhile, front-end and back-end developers worked hard to build and fix bugs to deliver the work on time.

In the Entertainment section, the app was integrated with a media streaming service. Besides streaming movies and videos, we also build some simple in-app games to increase users retention.

Impacts

For a 4-year period, we had been one of the client’s trusted vendors to maintain the app. Our team also met the KPI framework for quality control. During our time working with the client, our on-time completion rate is 80%.
