GroupPal: A Mobile Application for Networking, Profit Sharing and Much More!


mobile application for profit sharing

You might have come across various referral program apps offering handsome profit sharing benefits to you as a customer. Community commerce is the next big revolution in e-commerce. The idea is quite simple- bringing together people who have products and services to sell, with those who have a community following through which these products and services can be promoted.

We introduce you to- GroupPal, the fastest growing branded business networking and profit sharing referral company in India. It’s an exclusive platform where all businesses, vendors, service providers, recruiters, consultants, job seekers, franchise seekers and investors form a Group as Pals exchanging contacts, referrals and turning them into benefits for each one of them.

Demands put forward by the client for the Development of GroupPal:

The only challenge for us as a team in the app development of GroupPal was the development of the 6 level hierarchy of the referral program. The client wished for this feature to be an exclusive one to keep the community commerce and profit sharing mobile app as trustworthy as possible. The referrals could be up to a 6-level hierarchy only. A separate provision was to be added for those who did not have any referral code- they will contact the GroupPal team and get themselves thoroughly verified as professionals. This meant- every time a new user signs up with the referral of another user, the first user would get an advantage as profit sharing with the new users.

In addition to this, whenever a user would search for, say, an android developer hiring company, he would be able to select whether he’s looking for a company to hire him within his locality, within the city, the state, or across the entire country. Similarly, say an electrician is setting up his profile. He would be able to enter the service providing location zone- the specific area of a city, the entire city, state, or country.


Our Approach-

About the team:

The client approached us last year in September with this unique project. After multiple change requests, the project got completed in May. Our team consisted of 7 members-

  • one designer,
  • one android developer,
  • one API developer,
  • one QA,
  • one project manager
  • one back-end developer/web developer
  • one Business Analyst

Development Model & Wireframe:

If you’re a business owner looking to grow your business, there are certain things to keep in mind before developing an app. For developers, we have our methods to decide upon the approach once a task has been assigned to us. The approach that was used for GroupPal’s development was the Agile model. The requirements were understood by the sales team initially, and were then provided to the design team.

After all the layouts had been created, it was the task of the developers to implement it. Back-end developers were working on the principle of modularity. The entire system and application components were divided into modules in order to carry out tasks on various elements at the same time without affecting the work of the other. Dividing the entire project into modules allowed various developers to work on the project at the same time in order to reduce the burden of doing the task on a single developer and in turn, reduce the time required to complete the project and hand over the product on time.

Engineerbabu believes that an intuitive UI and an easy to go User Experience are the key to a successful mobile app. For GroupPal’s development, we built low fidelity wireframes and developed a flow. When the analysis of the flow was given a green flag by the client, we worked to build high fidelity wireframes using tools like Adobe XD, Illustrator and Invision.
