Canvas had a deadline. In five short months, their modern rental development project, named Communa, would be complete. A key part of their success strategy was to release a partner app to accompany the grand opening. The product’s goal; to help create a rental experience better than anything seen before.
We knew Appetiser could deliver the technology and the quality needed to be successful, and complete the project on a such a tight timeframe.
For an app within the lifestyle sector, design has to be exceptional. Through close collaboration and communication, we identified the most valuable features that would deliver peak value to customers and the maximum return on investment for the business.
Through our visual scoping process, we created estimates that were 50% more accurate than traditional requirements documents, resulting in budget certainly and a drastically reduced risk of missed timelines.
Leveraging our experience working on successful projects for clients such as Youfoodz and Grill’d, we got to work on development. Using our proprietary Baseplate technology, we were able to build 50% faster and at a higher quality level than competitors, reducing the cost for the client.
The app is an excellent showcase for the innovation that product technology can bring to traditional markets that are often slow to embrace progress. The project went from idea to market in only four and a half months, ready for the Communa grand opening — saving Canvas time and money in the process.
The Canvas Living app is now an integral part of a new way of renting for hundreds of Queensland residents, and highlights our client as a true pioneer in the industry.
