Working alongside graphic designers and iOS developers, Plymouth Software designed and built the custom Rails web application behind Voucher Tree, Cornwall's first free voucher app.

After the success of developing Voucher Tree’s web application, Plymouth Software worked closely with Branch Media to build the complementary app for Android smart phones and tablets.

The Voucher Tree website is available at voucher-tree.co.uk.

Designed and Built for Android

Plymouth Software was invited by Voucher Apps Ltd. and Malooba to discuss the design and development of Voucher Tree, a mobile and web-based app providing discount offers and vouchers for people living in and visiting Cornwall.

After our first chat, we identified the goals for the first release, and set about designing and building a custom Rails 3 web application. Using this web app, merchants can add and manage their own vouchers, branch locations, and so on, while customers can browse and print vouchers.

“Chris at Plymouth Software has been absolutely outstanding from start to completion of the first stage of Developing our website.”

Working alongside our iOS developer, Chris has been instrumental in the production of our mobile phone app.

The web application also needed to exchange information with the iPhone app, so we designed a JSON API for authorised third-party client apps to send and retrieve voucher data.

Plymouth Software also worked alongside Cornwall-based designers DCC Design and Red Snapper Design to build the application functionality around the theme and identity they created for Voucher Tree.

Voucher Tree's iPhone app is powered by a JSON API developed by Plymouth Software. The iPhone app was designed and built by Malooba.

Our open and agile approach to development meant that everyone involved could easily access the latest version of the software, as it was developed. Voucher Apps were able to start using and testing parts of the the site within days, providing essential feedback to guide the project’s development.

Within a few weeks, the first release of Voucher Tree was ready and made available to merchants to upload their vouchers and offers. Malooba's custom iPhone app has been approved by Apple, and is available to download today from the iTunes Store, or from the Voucher Tree website itself.

“From our initial brief Chris got on with the job at hand and the production has been seamless!”

“I am so impressed by Plymouth Software’s work - we have endorsed them to produce an Android version of our app.”

Voucher Tree has already received great feedback for merchants, and the company is now working with Plymouth Software on development of the Voucher Tree Android app.
