Walletfy: aplicativo móvel para controle de carteira de investimentos

Abstract

With the growing number of people worrying more about personal finances, a new movement was started in Brazil, the movement of people looking for a way to invest their money in order to increase their equity and/or have a passive income. The problem with investments is their control, since there are several categories of investments and each one has its own bureaucracy and peculiarity. With this thought, several ways to monitor investments have emerged, from classic forms such as annotations on sheets, to more modern spreadsheets with complex calculations and applications specifically created for this purpose. There are several applications that supply this demand for investment control, but there is still a need to work with a deficiency in offering a social interaction in investment applications, an interaction that would make the use of the application more interesting and motivating for users. With this in mind, this work had as objective to propose, design and develop an application for multiplatform mobile devices for investment control, using a gamification strategy in order to rank users for their profitability and make this ranking visible to other users, creating a social interaction and motivating users to look for ways to make their investments more profitable. This work used as an development process an adaptation using the Cascade Model and the Prototyping Model in order to use the positive points of each model.
