Gimme5 + Cosmico 🚀

We’ve been collaborating since the birth of the app. Giuseppe Codazzi, Data Scientist of AcomeA and Manager for Gimme5, had the need to find professional figures that are difficult to consistently retain within projects, especially during certain periods. Therefore, Gimme5 turned to us, and we assembled a team to work on the app's development: a pool of professionals consisting of two front-end developers and one back-end developer.

The team of talent took care of all aspects of the Gimme5 product: they collaborated on creating the design of the mobile application and the landing page and developed the website and both versions of the app, iOS and Android. Once these were completed, the team proceeded to restyle the old versions of the app, adding new features. There was also a need for a technological upgrade to ensure that the product always maintained a high level of quality, following the best practices of fintech apps.

We’ve been collaborating since the birth of the app. Giuseppe Codazzi, Data Scientist at AcomeA and responsible for Gimme5, had the need to find professional figures that are difficult to consistently retain within projects, especially during certain periods. Therefore, Gimme5 turned to us, and we assembled a team to work on the app's development: a pool of professionals consisting of two frontend developers and one backend developer.

In particular, the team focused on analyzing the onboarding process of Gimme5, which we know is (as is the case with all apps) one of the most delicate phases of the funnel. In fact, during the registration process, the company wanted to reduce drop-off rates and improve the customer experience, aiming to receive positive feedback right from the first impression interacting with the Gimme5 universe.

Our team designed and developed a new process, improving several pain points. The result was an onboarding experience that yielded better results than in the past: users themselves recognized and positively evaluated the new process. This is an ongoing project tha, after the initial development phase lasting about six months, sees the team involved in supporting internal professionals within the company, always working remotely.

In the development and design phase, the team focused on aspects related to security. As far as programming languages ​​are concerned, we chose the path of native development: the latest versions of Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, a solution. This solution is always the most innovative as it always allows interaction with the features released by Apple and Google and integrates them into the apps.

Usually in fintech startups, the technical teams are quite large, with highly skilled and senior professionals. By turning to us, Gimme5 found the right skills quickly and cost-effectively, entrusting the development of the app to a team of just three experienced individuals with vertical expertise.

Once the core work was completed, users appreciated the new graphic design (as evidenced by the positive reviews), and the application immediately became more intuitive. This is an important achievement, and its impact can be seen on the app stores through the numerous positive user reviews.

Why we like Gimme5

Gimme5 does something very important for us: in addition to providing an easy and fun way to save and invest, it’s built a community that works towards a common purpose. In fact, it offers its users the opportunity to join forces for a social objective linked to the world of sustainability and collective growth, such as building a school in Madagascar. But what we like the most is the education on how to save: Gimme5 primarily targets a young audience, made up of Gen Y and Gen Z, and shares with them numerous tips, insights, and simulations to better understand the many benefits that good financial management can bring to their lives.
