Challenge

Sherpa CRM’s senior living sales teams struggled to track prospects, connections, and sales opportunities on the go. They needed a seamless iOS and Android solution with real-time updates on prospect status, contact details, and occupancy.

Adding to the complexity, Lelander needed to align development with Sherpa’s evolving API while keeping the project on schedule and preventing scope creep. Rigorous testing across multiple devices, screen sizes, and operating systems ensured reliability in real-world scenarios.

Solution

Lelander built native apps that gave Sherpa CRM’s sales teams everything they needed at their fingertips. A streamlined sales dashboard provided instant access to prospect lists, search tools, occupancy details, and easy contact management—ensuring sales teams could work efficiently on the go.

Starting with a Sketch UI prototype, we developed iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps while working closely with Sherpa’s team as they built a new API. To stay ahead of development, we implemented a mock data model contract, allowing unit and integration testing before the API was fully in place.

Following an agile approach, we worked in sprints, delivering functional demos at the end of each iteration. Close collaboration with Sherpa’s product and development teams ensured seamless documentation, continuous feedback, and rigorous integration testing with every API update.

To guarantee reliability, we integrated logging and error reporting tools, along with a test release distribution platform, catching even the smallest issues before launch. Testing spanned multiple devices, manufacturers, and operating systems, ensuring a smooth user experience. Keeping scope in check, we stayed focused on delivering a robust MVP while leaving room for thorough testing and refinement.

In the end, Sherpa received two fully tested MVP apps, ready for real-world use. A round of test releases to a select group of users generated valuable feedback, building excitement ahead of the public launch—helping senior living sales teams work smarter, faster, and more effectively than ever.
