Challenge

Idea Realization – Football-themed Stock Trading App The client’s product idea is an app that ties stock trading with football management. Companies are represented as players – you can buy, sell and trade stocks just like how managers trade their players. You can build up your stock portfolio as a football team and see how your entire “team” fluctuates in real time. Users can connect with each other to compare their team’s earnings in leaderboards or to talk with fellow players. Functionality changes The project was in an infantile stage. Hence there existed no constants – anything can change at any given time. Due to this, the application’s infrastructure is also prone to changing, making it difficult for developers to build advanced parts of the app.

Solution

The sales platform was built on Amazon Web Services, a computing service provided by Amazon, allowing the development team to find suitable solutions for the client's requirements. The infrastructure can be easily adapted to changes in project plans, ensuring the development process is not hindered. The football management-like application was specified by the customer, offering stock trading, real-life trading, detailed gain/loss reports, asset portfolio building, and social functions. The project was executed under a time & material contract, providing a realistic general scope while accounting for changes in the development process.

Results

The application was successfully deployed to application stores with great responses from customers. User communities have been formed within the Japanese stock investing circles, actively sharing their teams of companies and their rankings on the leaderboards. The development team from Rikkeisoft is highly rated by the client for their professionalism and flexibility, adapting to rapidly changing requirements at a high pace.
