We understood the client's perspective

Client wanted to recognise the disproportionate negative economic impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on disabled students and their families. They wanted to provide financial assistance to such families via distribution of $5 million worth of grants. They needed a strategic partner to build and deploy a platform for distributing funds to 8000+ disabled students through a USA-based NGO that has been around for over 100 years.

We provided our client with a comprehensive solution, designed over a period of six months using agile delivery methods, for distributing grants to approximately 11,500 disabled students. Our solution included:

  • Designed a streamlined workflow for applicants to apply for grants and prizes. Created a robust verification and approval workflow, including reporting, customer support, and lottery capabilities.

  • Developed detailed use cases and process flows with Miro and Visio.

  • Crafted UI elements, wireframes, and mock-ups using Figma.

  • Defined clear requirements and features through user stories.

  • Ensured that integration capabilities with third-party applications for real-time verification, payment processing, and notification services were impeccably built.
