Clippd accelerates mobile app delivery with DVT’s AI Build TeamsTM
AI-native delivery that helped Clippd launch on time and within budget, with 50% faster delivery and a 35% cost saving compared with traditional delivery models.
How DVT Helped
Clippd partnered with DVT to create Mulligan, a new mobile-first player experience for college golfers. The application brings round and tournament insights, scoring history, notifications and player activity into one experience, connected to Clippd’s existing platforms and data sources.
DVT’s AI Build Team used AI-native delivery to turn agreed requirements into a launch-ready application within a fixed 13-week window. The project was completed on time and within budget, while also accommodating additional refinements to the scope and establishing a repeatable delivery approach for Clippd’s team.
The challenge
Clippd needed to replace its existing player experience with a new mobile application before the start of the August 2026 college golf season. The application had to bring tournament scoring, player insights and analytics into a single mobile-first platform, while integrating with existing systems and data sources.
The delivery window left little room for delay or rework. DVT needed to move quickly without weakening governance, quality or long-term maintainability. Clippd also needed confidence that AI would accelerate delivery without removing human oversight or creating additional operational risk.
Clippd: CEO
The solution
DVT assembled an AI Build Team that brought together delivery leadership, business analysis, design, engineering and quality assurance. The team followed a spec-driven development approach, translating Clippd’s requirements into clear, testable specifications before development began. AI was then used to accelerate development, while experienced specialists retained responsibility for architecture, quality and delivery decisions.
The first release included:
- Round insights
- Tournament insights
- Scoring history
- Authentication and onboarding
- Notifications
- An activity feed
The team also delivered the home page and navigation along with minor changes without affecting the agreed deadline or budget. Quality checks, delivery controls and up-to-date documentation were built into the process from the outset.
Short feedback cycles allowed the team to refine requirements early, address issues quickly and keep the application aligned with the approved user experience. Automated testing strengthened quality assurance, while clear ownership and governance enabled several team members to work in parallel without disrupting delivery. DVT also documented the approach and transferred the knowledge to Clippd’s IT team.
The results
Mulligan was completed within the approved 13-week schedule and project budget. Compared with traditional delivery models, the AI Build Team approach delivered the project 50% faster and achieved a 35% cost saving. Clippd received a launch-ready, user-friendly application that integrated with its existing platforms and data sources.
The team became faster as the delivery model matured. In the first sprint, preparing a new feature for development took 48 hours. By the final sprint, the same preparation could be completed within eight hours. Clippd also gained a practical playbook, knowledge transfer and a reusable AI delivery capability to support future development and maintenance.
