84EM was hired by a women's functional health brand to serve as their primary resource for backend support. The team utilized WordPress, WooCommerce, and several API software as part of their main tech stack.

The client credits 84EM for their continued growth, extending past their partnership. The team was highly communicative and organized, and internal stakeholders were particularly impressed with their creativity and solutions-based approach.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My company is a woman's functional health brand, focused on cannabinoids and mushrooms, paired with a 1-on-1 education service. Our mission is to be the modern support system for women, and we've served hundreds of thousands to date. I am the co-founder and chief product+tech officer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 84EM, and what were your goals?

Andrew of 84EM has worked on my company with me for over 3 years. He has always been our backend star. His goal was to always move our tech forward for the business given we've grown so quickly - partially thanks to him!

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

He was referred by a trusted colleague, and he had passion for our mission. I chose to work with him because he was clearly brilliant.

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

Our stack is very custom - WP + Woocommerce and tons of API work, used as a webapp engine of sorts. Andrew has been key to the build out of what we have today, accommodating so many business needs that nobody really thought could be possible on our stack. Our investors are always impressed.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Andrew as a senior software engineer/backend lead.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I feel confident that their work has meaningfully contributed to our extreme growth. He's also made many processes more efficient and saved our butts in many emergencies.

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

Andrew is fast to communicate, can multi-task, and always adds to a conversation. Rarely has he ever missed a deadline; I can't even think of 1 time.

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

The brilliance. Even the other day, Andrew figured out how to take my desired "from A to B" and do it in a way that was faster, cleaner, simpler than what any of the rest of us had brainstormed. He is such an awesome problem solver.

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

I am usually very direct with feedback yet I don't really have anything to put here!

A digital agency specializing in custom development partnered with 84EM to develop an API. They utilized multiple data sources and helped in standardizing the endpoints, data mapping, and handling the logs.

Despite the multiple last-minute requests from the client, 84EM was still able to finish the project. They were able to meet all the deadlines and create an output that pleased both parties. Their team was diligent and was always up to take on new challenges.

It was a rush to the finish line with numerous last minute requests for 84EM. The project was a complete success with all parties pleased.

84EM is technical by nature, but has the ability to speak and explain in layman's terms. He also has a sense of humor, which makes all projects much more enjoyable.
