The story

Context: Guatecompras is the official procurement portal of the Government of Guatemala: the country’s main digital marketplace for public purchasing, with thousands of suppliers and contracting entities.
Challenge: The platform had no mobile app. Suppliers without regular desktop access — especially small ones and those in remote areas — couldn’t track opportunities, submit proposals or stay informed in time.
Intervention: A cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android, integrated with the Guatecompras system.
Engineering: Browsing opportunities, submitting proposals, real-time notifications and profile management from the phone, with simple login and access to the portal’s most relevant features.
Outcome: The portal’s official app, launched in November 2019, bringing public procurement closer to more suppliers and adding transparency and efficiency to the process.
