About the Client
One of the largest U.S.-based faith-driven media conglomerates known for producing faith-based, educational, and inspirational content across television, radio, and digital platforms. They wanted a website and mobile apps (Android & iOS) to help children learn timeless moral values and life lessons through engaging, Bible-based animated stories.
The vision was to bring the scriptures to life for families worldwide through an interactive adventure series featuring two time-traveling children and their robot companion. This concept quickly gained popularity and raked up 10 Million+ downloads in Android and iTunes app stores.
Case Overview
Fingent collaborated with the global faith-based media organization to modernize the tech stack without disrupting existing app services, ensuring uninterrupted access for users throughout the transition.
Both the backend and frontend architecture were replaced and upgraded to the latest version of a carefully assembled tech stack.
The project resulted in a complete overhaul of a near-obsolete legacy system, replacing it with a secure, scalable, and future-ready platform built to support over 3 million users while setting the ground for future expansion.
