The Gallery App Lifecycle: From Request to Delivery
The apps displayed in the gallery are minimum viable products (MVPs); think of them as customizable templates. If you find an app that fits your needs, contact us and share your functional and branding specifications. We’ll then work with you to incorporate them into the application through a collaborative process.
Step 1: Request Submission
As a help desk administrator, you can submit requests through Zoho Desk after reviewing the scope and accepting our terms and conditions.
A support request will be created on your behalf.
Step 2: Requirement Gathering
We will contact you by email or phone to collect your requirements. At this stage, please let us know if you'd like the app as it is or want additional customization. You'll also need to share your branding assets, especially your company logo and brand color palette.
Step 3: Analysis and Design
We will evaluate your request based on feasibility, development effort, timelines, and our current bandwidth. After this, we will send you a design mock-up for review. You're welcome to collaborate with us to refine it.
Please make sure to finalize wireframes within three iterations to keep the project on track. We won't accommodate any changes to use cases or user flows once the design is finalized.
STEP 4: Payment
Our sales team will take over from here.
They'll send you a finalized quote that includes the app's base price, along with estimated hours and resources for the requested modifications.
The shared quote is valid for a period of 30 days during which you must either accept or reject it.
Once accepted, we will generate and issue an invoice.
STEP 5: App Development
Once the payment is received, we will start development right away and keep you updated through the process. Rest assured, your app will be delivered in the agreed-upon timeline.
STEP 6: Hand-off and post-sales support
We will deliver the completed app in the agreed file format: IPA for iOS and APK for Android.
You must publish it to the respective online marketplace using your developer account and start using/distributing it.
Please note that we will not be providing any updates to the apps after this. However, we will take responsibility and resolve any issues or bugs that turn up post-delivery.
You can request new features or enhancements to existing functionalities. These requests will be subject to the same process (from step 1 to step 6) outlined above.
