The integration of stock trading into everyday apps poses new challenges in development, security and user experience.

Globant developed the functionality that allows users to buy and sell YPF shares through its app in two months, using artificial intelligence tools and achieving 35% efficiency gains in the development cycle, according to figures reported by the company.

The implementation also enabled users to check their holdings and transactions in real time. Within one month, one million shares had been purchased through the app, according to information released by the companies.

The project is part of the collaboration between YPF and Globant to incorporate new digital capabilities into the Argentine oil company’s ecosystem. The work included designing and developing the technical infrastructure and user experience required to integrate stock trading, from accessing the Shares section to executing buy and sell orders.

Specifically, the case combines the integration of financial transactions into an existing app with the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate software development.
