Project Brief
Bluegrass Digital is a React Native mobile development company. We were selected to join an internal product team to design and build a new mobile solution for financial advisers. We would collaborated closely with Allan Gray combining both onsite and remote working. Our key responsibilities involved app architecture design and mobile development.
The mobile application would be a first for Allan Gray and the industry with the aim to streamline the client onboarding process for financial advisers. An agile approach was used to allow the team to move quickly through sprint cycles from UX and design to development. The objective was to deliver a final working solution that automated client onboarding through the app and integrated directly with Allan Gray internal systems and existing processes.

The Result
