Case studies
Every case study below names the client, the constraint the project was actually working under, and what the delivered app changed for the business. That is the part most agency portfolios leave out, and it is the only part worth reading when you are deciding who to hand a production app to.
A case study is a sales document, so read it for the constraints rather than the praise. Three things tell you whether the work is comparable to yours. First, whether the deadline was real: a fixed customer commitment or a store deadline behaves differently from an internal target, because it removes the option of quietly shipping later. Second, what was deliberately left out, since scope cut on purpose is the clearest evidence that somebody was making engineering decisions rather than accepting a wish list. Third, whether the app is still running, because shipping a first version and keeping it alive through two years of OS releases are separate skills.
RapidLabs is a senior mobile practice rather than an agency bench, so both stories below are small teams working against a hard date. If your situation is an app that already exists and is drifting rather than a product that needs building, the service pages further down are the closer match.
Mosaic Merchandising
A two-sided iOS marketplace matching California retailers with merchandisers for short beer-stocking jobs, with next-day payouts through Stripe Connect.
SafeWorks Inc.
An iOS injury reporting app for field teams, built in one week to replace paper forms before an enterprise compliance deadline ran out.
Where this applies
The two stories above are new builds under a deadline, which is the kind of project that photographs well. The steadier half of the work is less photogenic: taking over a codebase from a developer who has moved on, getting an app that has not shipped in a year back through review, or holding a live product stable month after month. Those engagements have their own pages.
Monthly senior capacity for a live app: fixes, SDK and OS updates, store compliance, and a predictable release rhythm.
See the service →Picking up a codebase somebody else wrote, getting a signed build out of it, and moving the app off its previous developer.
See the service →Crash triage and technical-debt recovery for an app that ships late, breaks on release, or keeps failing store review.
See the service →A written assessment of an app you are inheriting or buying, with the risks named in priority order and effort attached.
See the service →Send the app link, the stack, and what is currently going wrong or what you need built. RapidLabs will tell you which entry point fits, and say so plainly if the answer is that you do not need one.
