The client, a rapidly growing brokerage firm in Canada with over $20B in assets under administration, was facing a challenge with its trading solution. The existing mobile app, which was the core of its brokerage business, was not meeting the increasing needs of its two main user categories: investors and advanced traders. The app offered the same functionality for both types of users, making it too complicated for ordinary investors and insufficient for professional traders. The client decided to replace it with two separate mobile apps to better cater to the needs of these different user groups. Additionally, the company was looking to expand its market reach and needed a reliable technology partner to launch new solutions.
