Task
Build an iOS and Web application to support a 2 sided marketplace with augmented reality features
Arfare is a mobile and web platform that allows artists to post their art on the platform and patrons can buy the art right from the comfort of their home. In addition, users can preview the art in their home by using the augmented reality feature. This allows a user to comfortably preview the art before they buy.
Building a two sided marketplace is not easy, it required a lot of cohesiveness between the frontend and the backend. We worked with the Artfare team to plan and implement their payment process to create a seamless experience for their users.
Our team worked directly with Artfare to ensure that their business model translated effortlessly into the real world. We tested their business model with real artists and customers to ensure that once built, they’d become a success.
Arfare was a huge multi agency product, we managed the technical aspects of the application and interfaced with a few design agencies to ensure that the branding and design shone through the technical implementation.
With everything that we do we always push for continuous improvement. We worked with the team to adopt tools and strategies they needed to stay lean, launch on time, and ensure that we empowered artists to do their best work.
Newly empowered with the ability to sell their art.
Who can now buy and preview art in a digital space.
