Box + Dice: BOOM

Box + Dice + iPad = Awesome.

Box+Dice Software provide CRM software for Australian and New Zealand real estate agents. Their popular BOOM software helps real estate agents manage their appraisals, owners, buyers, vendors and purchasers. Knowing that the iPad could further enhance BOOM for their clients, they approached Dangerous Pixels to help them bring their unique vision for BOOM for the iPad to life.

Complementary, not just ported.

Box+Dice realised early on that people don't need to do everything on their mobile devices. Having already an immense knowledge of their client's needs, they realised that BOOM for the iPad needed to be different. It needed to be complimentary to their already successful CRM software, filling some unique use cases for their clients, as opposed to a port that tried to do everything on the iPad. Less is More, and Box+Dice knew it.

Dangerously crafted for the iPad.

Box+Dice had a clear and grand vision of how their BOOM software could work on the iPad. They knew the requirements and how real estate agents would want to use the BOOM software on the iPad. They already had a team of excellent web developers and graphic designers but needed someone to help make their vision a reality on the iPad. That's where Dangerous Pixels could help with not only ensuring that the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) was clean and well designed, but could also work with their backend developers to help them develop an API to ensure their iPad vision would come to life.

The first component of BOOM they wanted to tackle on the iPad was "BOOM Presentation". Dangerous Pixels was brought in to not only design the Presentation app, but also ensure it was a quality iPad app from the start.

Box+Dice presented Dangerous Pixels with some UI designs for how they thought BOOM Present could work on the iPad. It was refreshing to see how much thought had already gone into it, but it was not quite ready for iOS development. Dangerous Pixels took them through their already established process for designing iOS apps going from UI flow to UI design on pencil and paper, and eventually digital designs in Illustrator, through to working prototypes on the iPad right through to helping them get their app on the store using their own developer account.

Coming soon ...

BOOM Presentation is currently wrapping up development and testing and will be in the App Store very shortly and design work has already commenced on the next component: BOOM Inspection.
