The annual French Touch Show is a great celebration for lovers of French culture. The motto of the event is "The French art of living, the exquisite cuisine, a culture like no others".
French Touch not only offers a great show in Teatr Wielki, the Polish National Opera House, but also a television broadcast on TVN, “La Belle Vie!” magazine, and many side attractions. It’s really difficult to think about an event of this scale without the support of modern technologies.
The French Touch wrote to us for technical support of the project, as we already have experience in mobile applications. It turned out, they already had an application made by a previous supplier, implemented in PWA technology. The application was supposed to work on both Android and iOS, but the product did not fully meet this requirement. Unfortunately, the AppStore was constantly rejecting the iOS version. Consequently, the edition of French Touch in 2019 was missing this iOS version.
We decided to accept the challenge of providing French Touch 2020 support in the field of mobile applications. On the basis of the design of the original application, we created a new version of it from scratch. We decided to implement an application in React Native so that it works with both iOS and Android versions. The French Touch application is built also using other technologies such as AWW, lambda, and DynamoDB. Both versions of the application have passed the store verification procedures successfully and are currently available for download in the iOS and Android versions.
While working on the mobile application, we faced many back-end problems. They were caused by various shortcomings of the original CMS implemented by the original supplier. As part of our work on this mobile application, we also provided support for the web application. We fixed a number of minor bugs and implemented a few workarounds to avoid the effects of the problematic shortcomings introduced by the previous supplier. Due to the upcoming event, together with the French Touch, we decided that larger design changes will be implemented later, when the French Touch 2020 Gala will end and the traffic on the website would significantly decrease. Thanks to this, we can avoid complications due to introducing changes at the peak of the site’s popularity.
Thanks to the above-mentioned work, ImpiCode gained the title of the Exclusive Technology Partner of French Touch 2020. We are already looking forward to cooperating in the next editions of the greatest celebration of French culture in Poland.
We invite you to watch the recommendation of the president of French Touch, Daniel Teboul, about our cooperation over several years.
French Touch is a celebration of the Polish-French friendship. This extraordinary event organised in Poland attracts lovers of French art, culture, music and cuisine. During the festival all participants have a chance to taste some delicious French cooking, discover the latest fashion trends and take part in many additional attractions. The culmination of the event is a fabulous show where Polish and French musicians perform together.
In 2020 French Touch established a cooperation with ImpiCode. Their job was to take over the maintenance of our existing web page and develop new mobile application on iOS and Android. We are pleased to admit that our collaboration turned out to be successful. As a result of our partnership, our brand new mobile application finally has been launched into the market. Fortunately, the application delighted not only us but also our clients. Thanks to the app, all French Touch participants had quick and easy access to current information, magazine, and event tickets. In addition, they were able to take advantage of the promotional offers of our partners.
