Inmost chooses the development of software solutions based on Amazon Chime as the main business growth trajectory

Introduction

The modern information technology outsourcing market provides a wide range of opportunities for all participants. We - Inmost team - value software development trends and, at the same time, are looking for the ways to apply them for our customers` benefit and business success.

With regard to all of the successfully delivered projects, so far, we’ve decided to choose several specific expertise fields as potential growth points for the company. This approach allows us to focus operational efforts, including further training and certification of employees, on proficiency growth in the selected areas to meet our clients' needs even better.

One of the core Inmost expertise is CPaaS platforms (Communication Platform as a Service), and in particular - Amazon Chime communications service.

Why Communication Platforms as a Service?

We believe communication platforms are already and will keep being one of the most demanded types of Information Technology Services. According to International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts, the global communication platforms market was expected to reach $4.56 billion in 2019 and grow 39% - by 2023.

Moreover, the estimates were made before the world economy faced changes due to the COVID pandemic. In 2019 no one could have predicted the increasing number of remote employees during 2020-2021. And, therefore, no one could have predicted the enormous growth of demand for high-quality video conferencing and other interaction tools, e.g. instant desktop sharing.

In May 2021 IDC adjusted its original estimate. Now, experts predict that the market will cost $92 billion by 2023. The recent market overview published on nojitter.com proves that the communication platforms market is snowballing so all the estimations of its size don't make much sense.

Inmost successfully provides projects for customers with the implementation of different communication platforms. And AWS Chime has impressively improved the development process and business outcomes. 

We’ve chosen Amazon Chime as a solution for communication platforms as Amazon is a leading provider of cloud technologies. This global tech giant invests immense resources in development, debugging, and testing of its solutions. With Amazon’s platform, we can stay focused on customers’ needs instead of overcoming already solved problems.

Amazon gained trust and loyalty all over the globe. At the moment, Amazon Global Infrastructure covers 25 Regions, each having several independent zones (so-called “Availability Zones”). As a result, it provides reliable responses to requests quite instantly.

Also, Amazon has so-called “Wavelength Zones”. These are AWS infrastructure deployments, where AWS storage and compute services are integrated into 5G providers’ networks. No alternative to it - this is an essential point for mobile applications development.

Amazon launched Chime in 2017. Since then, the service has evolved significantly and numerous new features were added. No doubt, that this secure, reliable, and affordable platform is the way to the future. And Inmost is the right software development company to provide solutions based on Amazon Chime.

Inmost gets a 5-Star Review on Clutch for Ongoing Mobile App Development from Cellar Ventures

Introduction

The mobile apps market has skyrocketed over the last decade. While in 2014 its global revenue amounted to roughly $100 billion, now the number is predicted to be close to $700 billion. As more and more consumers switch to digital, the importance of providing customers with first-class UX becomes more vital for companies than ever.

At the same time, due to the growing demand for mobile apps, the SaaS (Software as a Service) niche becomes extremely overheated by businesses struggling to find reliable developers to establish long-term commercial relationships.

Luckily, Inmost stands exactly for that kind of software provider. We’re proud to welcome back our clients with new projects and - are happy to continue cooperation for many years.

About Cellar Ventures, Inc

Cellar Ventures, Inc is a California-based company that operates as an intermediary agency between wineries and their customers on the global market. The company helps cellar owners to export wines via convenient channels and sell bottles directly to end-buyers all over the world.

In 2020, Cellar contacted Inmost with an idea to create a digital solution that would enhance the global wine trade and make it easier for both producers and consumers to sell wine abroad. The company needed an app that people can refer to and find all information about a particular wine, including year, vineyards, grapes, etc. The solution needed to be perfect towards UI/UX parameters - to compete and take the market share from other apps in the niche.

What we delivered

As a  software development partner, Inmost team took this case and applied a “full-cycle” approach. We were involved  at every stage of product development - from market research, including competitors` Apps overview, to the development and post-release testing.

CELLR app was designed to be a reference point for wine lovers. They can not only search for wine-related information, but purchase bottles as well as some exclusive wines from private collections.

The App’s users can create wish lists, receive recommendations, and even trade with other cellar owners. Wine sellers, on the other hand, can use App to take inventory of their cellars' stocks and set prices for bottles.

Key development outcomes

We’ve used an advanced tech stack to make CELLR App convenient and user-friendly. Here are just a few key features delivered by Inmost:

  • an option to recognize any wine label
  • a possibility to conveniently buy a bottle of wine or put it up for sale via the smartphone
  • saving option of selected wines to users profiles
  • convenient search & filter functions
  • a full database of wines.

In his conversation with Clutch, Jeffrey Ishmael, CEO of Cellar Ventures, shared the details of our ongoing collaboration. He explained that his company needed a mobile app for their business and told about the outstanding results that were achieved in cooperation with the Inmost team.

“We set out to work with Inmost from the beginning, to develop a mobile app for our new wine business, because we want to connect consumers directly to consumer wine sales… From a metrics perspective, we’ve been working together quite efficiently.

Where the company has been effective is in the stability of their own team. We haven’t had a lot of turnover on most of the staff that’s been working on the project, because Inmost does a lot to recruit, train, and motivate their team.

They’ve been very complete with their execution and delivery.”
