Sanjiv Baxi, the CEO of the tax credit advisory company Rebate, first approached Dittofi on 29th July 2023.
Less than 30 days later Sanjiv had a fully production ready app that is onboarding new users.
The problem
Rebate was founded as an accounting company in 2020 with the goal of helping businesses take advantage of tax credits offered by government research & development (R&D) programs. These programs allow technology companies to access government funding for R&D projects.
Rebate has enabled many companies to take advantage of these generous tax incentives in the United States & in July 2023 decided to build an app that would help users determine what R&D tax credits they would be able to receive. Rebate had previously tried to hire engineers to build the app however had not managed to get anywhere with traditional coding methodologies.

The solution
To build the app, Rebate enrolled on the Dittofi Bootcamp. Within two weeks & in under 10 hours, Rebate was able to launch a fully functional version 1 app. A screenshot of the app is shown below.
Dittofi’s expert team not only helped us achieve a cost reduction of 20x for our MVP but also impressed us with their efficiency, delivering results 10x faster. Working with Dittofi has been an invaluable experience.

Key features of the Rebate app include:
- Quickbooks API integration
- Login, sign up & password recovery
- Forms to collect information
- Custom calculations done on accounting data
- Dashboard of the results from R&D tax credit analysis
What's next?
Rebate will gather user feedback on their app over the next 3 – 4 weeks. They will then look to extend their app based on client feedback.
This approach to app development is known as an agile / lean approach to app development. The agile / lean models involve launching early & launching often. The approach ensures that you’re building an app that your end users actually need & it can be applied to app development at startup, SME & enterprise. Agile / lean models for app development have been proven as the most effective way to develop apps. Dittofi supports this method & enables you to work in 10 hour development cycles. This level of agility in your app development was previously not possible with traditional coding.
