Working hours: India ↔ Colombia

Colombia is on UTC−5. IST is 10 h 30 min ahead. There is little natural overlap, so a fixed call slot is agreed and work continues while you are offline. A daily call at 08:00–11:00 your time (18:30–21:30 IST) works year-round. Between calls you get written updates and a staging link that shows the latest build.

Decisions to make before work starts

Map sign-in, roles, notifications, payments and device permissions. Decide how data synchronization handles interrupted connections. Prepare release assets and store-account access as separate dependencies.

What are the top 3 core capabilities of the app?

How the quote is scoped

These factors affect the work involved:

Number of unique screen templates
Third-party SDK integrations (payments, maps)
Offline sync architecture
Backend complexity

Share your budget in COP or USD. The schedule, payment milestones, external charges and support terms are agreed in writing before work starts.

Review and handover

Test the agreed device matrix, account recovery, permission denial, offline behavior and API errors. Store submission can be in scope; approval timing is decided by the store. Source-code and asset ownership, licences, account access and ongoing support are set out in the project terms.
