The app helps people discover changes on their skin that could be early warnings of skin cancer. The user marks mole locations on their body, adds photos, and gets reminders to regularly add and compare photos.

With more than 450,000 downloads, a number that is rapidly increasing, Miiskin is a huge success. The app has received a range of awards within health tech and also the European Commission’s Seal of Excellency.

After initially launching the app for Android themselves, Miiskin chose Sprinting Software to develop the iOS app.

Miiskin’s CEO Jon Friis explains, “The project was straightforward. We wanted to replicate the Android functionalities in the new iOS app, and wanted an external partner that could build the app quickly and reliably.

Jon Friis says, “Hiring and managing a great development team can be a time-consuming and frustrating process for managers in companies that do not have software development as their core business.

To outsource parts of your development is also not easy. It is crucial that the external development team is a good culture fit, and that they understand and care for your business.

I have previously worked with external development teams, and while they did what they were asked to do, they would never challenge the things we told them to develop. They were not fully capable of understanding what we wanted to accomplish.

When outsourcing development, you need a partner that wants to do more for you and is engaged. This is what we get with Sprinting Software.

After choosing Sprinting Software as their partner for app development, Miiskin reduced the size of their own development team. Now, Miiskin’s own resources mainly develop the backend part of the solution.

Jon Friis explains, “The overall development process is led by our CTO, and Sprinting Software’s developers work as an integrated part of our development team.

Before Sprinting Software, issues with the team always ended up on my desk. Either we were using too much money or were not meeting the goals we set. This is not the case anymore. I have no concerns whatsoever regarding development, which is a big relief.”

Jon Friis continues, “Being an entrepreneurial company, we need to continuously learn from the market and adapt instantly. We therefore base our development on agile methods. As Sprinting Software already works according to agile methods, it has been very easy to integrate Sprinting Software in our team.

What we also like about agile development is the sprint approach. When implemented correctly, it does not require much from the management to look after the process. The team get things done and demonstrates working software at the end of each sprint.

Having an “invisible” development team that delivers is amazing for us. When I do not hear anything from the team it is because everything is going as expected. We can now focus more on customers, marketing, and growing the business.”

To ensure cost-effectiveness and high-quality output, Sprinting Software hires developers in its own nearshore offices in Serbia. The reason is not only that salaries are more competitive, but also that it is possible to attract very skilled and talented developers.

Jon concludes, “Working with Sprinting Software is the best solution we have ever had. They have a strong focus on cost-effectiveness, process optimisation and quality of the delivery.
