Overview

ur Hong Kong client approached PowerGate Australia with a vision to create a connected application that bridges the gap between parents and schools. Although they had nurtured this idea for quite some time, they faced challenges in moving forward with the development process. The PowerGate Australia development team stepped in to assist them by designing and clarifying the specifications, ultimately bringing their product to fruition.

Key features

PowerGate Australia developed a social networking web application that serves as a communication platform between educational institutions, families, and schools. One of the standout features of this platform is the ability for families to upload their children’s accomplishments as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and have them validated by schools or learning facilities. This NFT-based achievement system, built on the Ethereum blockchain, sets this platform apart from its competitors.

The application acts as a social network for students, families, and schools, connecting these two groups like never before. Each student has a profile that showcases their achievements in specific fields, demonstrating their expertise and skills. These achievements are created as unique NFTs, allowing them to be shared across the internet. This incorporation of blockchain technology is a pioneering feature that sets this social platform apart from others in the market.

Challenge to be overcome

One of the main challenges faced during the development process was the client’s limited knowledge and uncertainty about their exact expectations for the product. The provided requirements were vague and lacked sufficient information, making the scope of the project uncertain for the development team. Additionally, the project was of a fixed cost nature, meaning it had a limited budget and timeframe due to the limited scope. PowerGate Australia recognized this challenge early on and collaborated closely with the customer to create a document called “Baselines requirement.” This document served as a foundation to align the expectations of both parties and ensure the delivery of a product that matched the customer’s vision.

Achievement

In the end, we have successfully developed a groundbreaking social networking web application that effectively connects parents, students, and schools. The incorporation of NFT-based achievements through blockchain technology sets this platform apart from competitors and adds a unique value proposition. Despite the initial challenges posed by the client’s limited knowledge and unclear requirements, PowerGate Australia worked closely with the customer to clarify the specifications and ensure a successful delivery. The final product met and exceeded the customer’s expectations, allowing them to realize their vision of a connected application that enhances communication and showcases student achievements.
