Making Learning Affordable – an iOS/Android App for Easy Purchase of Used Books
The client is a wholesale textbook company that purchases textbooks from students, faculty members, campus staff and campus bookstores and sells it to students across various campuses at lower cost. Trantor understood our idea and translated it into a beautiful product, without involving us in technology nitty-gritty. Kudos to the team for this rare-skill.
