Business Situation
Influencers struggle to connect with brands, negotiate fair pay, ensure timely payments, and deal with competition. On the other hand, brands often face significant difficulties in identifying, evaluating, and collaborating with the right influencers due to a lack of detailed information on reach, engagement, and audience demographics, leading to delays and inefficiencies in launching campaigns.
Recognizing the need, our client wanted a specialized marketplace that simplifies the collaboration between brands and influencers. They envision a platform that provides detailed profiles of influencers, showcasing their credentials, specialties, audience demographics, and engagement metrics. The platform would act as a digital manager for onboarded influencers, managing schedules, campaign timelines, and payment transactions.
Turning this vision into a scalable application required technical expertise and strategic planning. They chose Daffodil Software for their extensive experience and cost/value balance ensuring the app could handle growth and user demands.
The key requirements were to:
Conceptualize and plan the entire development process for the envisioned application, including recommending the most efficient software architecture, technology stack, and UI/UX design
Create an intuitive interface for influencers and brands to ensure a seamless experience.
Integrate comprehensive features such as interactive dashboards, group management, campaign management modules, missions, wallets, etc., for both influencers and brands.
The Solution
The project began with a product discovery workshop, where the Daffodil team and the client discussed the project’s goals, target audience, and specific requirements.
Following the initial analysis, our software architects designed an optimal architecture for the envisioned platform. They prioritized scalability, performance, and security, ensuring that the system could support the platform’s growth and adaptability. The product design team conducted user research to understand end-user behaviors, needs, and challenges. They planned the user journey, developing interactive prototypes illustrating the platform’s layout and features.
With the architecture and design in place, our developers employed modern frameworks to bring the platform to life. The user interface was built using React Native for a dynamic and intuitive experience across various devices. The backend was developed using Node.js to efficiently manage application logic and database interactions.
