head of IT department

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire dev.family, and what were your goals?

The sales in the b2b sector can be automated by creating personal accounts. However, in the case of Polymertorg, the work didn't only consist of linking a typical personal account to the existing website. dev.family had to reexamine most of the company processes together with us and create a new unique tool that would be customized to the specific business.

SOLUTION

How did you select dev.family and what were the deciding factors?

We had a great experience of working with them before.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

When we came to dev.family we just had the implemented 1C program and an idea of automation. They built the logic of the project from start to finish, created personal accounts for our customers, integrated 1C into the personal accounts, and trained our employee on how to work in new conditions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

They helped us to digitize the large businesses, reduce the labor hours on working with customers, improve the service, and step into a new digital era. This allowed the company to differentiate itself from its competitors, introduce analytics and marketing tools, and automate many processes. In short, it has become more technological and efficient.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

When we came to dev.family we just had the implemented 1C program and an idea of automation. They built the logic of the project from start to finish, created personal accounts for our customers, integrated 1C into the personal accounts, and trained our employee on how to work in new conditions.

We held about 5 meetings at the stage of analysis and prototyping. And we realized that if a company has never dealt with automation, it takes a lot of time to establish efficient processes and to consult with a large number of representatives from different departments.

It took us 3 months. When dev.family evaluated everything and agreed upon what we had “imagined”, the designer got down to work. It took a little more than 3 weeks to complete the drawing of all the features and details, as well as to get our approval. Development and integration took 2 months. As a result, the project lasted almost six months.

In general, it takes the same time period to fully digitize sales of any large company so everyone is satisfied.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

From the very first days of working with the personal account, customers expressed a positive opinion about the innovations. So we were once again convinced that the depth to which the developers dived was fully justified. And the timing of the project does not always depend on the contractor

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No.
