Xplora

Xplora is a leading provider of smartwatches for kids, trusted by hundreds of thousands of families across the world  

It was founded with a clear objective and vision: to connect families while allowing children to explore and play uninterrupted. Focused on extensive research and development into innovative technology, the first Xplora smartwatch was launched in 2016 and is now trusted by more than 400,000 users worldwide. 

As a like-minded company who also focus on innovation and transformation, digitify were chosen to design a mobile banking application for Xplora, from scratch. The new digital product would be an extension to the existing innovative range of Xplora products, working seamlessly with their market-leading smartwatch to deliver new payment services to users worldwide. 

digitify worked closely with Xplora to develop the new Xpay mobile banking application, including the integration with Xplora partner bank and processor.  Like other projects where we took an idea from the earliest stage, digitify delivered value from the very start and across the entire SDLC.  

Our services included: 

Consultancy, Technical Assessment, Customed UI/UX Design, Mobile Development (iOS & Android Builds), Front-end & Back-end Development, DevOps Automation, QA, Penetration Testing, and Project Management. 

digitify also provided services from our established partner network to deliver payment processing services including: 

Apple & Samsung Pay, KYC & AML, Payment Gateway Integration, Processor Integration, Banking Integration, Credit Card Scheme (MasterCard), Open Banking API. 

Alongside the development of the new Xpay app, digitify also completed a cloud-native infrastructure redesign and upgrade, delivering a scalable and secure platform for growth. 

digitify worked with Xplora to audit & assess their existing Xgo cloud infrastructure, redesign & enhance the cloud platform, and perform penetration testing to secure the applications & infrastructure.  This allowed Xplora to move away from ageing legacy platforms and monolithic working practises, and embrace the latest technology stacks and microservice methods. 

-“As a technology company ourselves, we were very selective about our payment and application development partner. 

We made absolutely the right choice”
