Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We’ve had a series of discovery meetings, analyzing code review results and defining strategies for implementation (for backend and for mobile parts). Having this in place, we’ve started the prototyping and design phase, followed by testing by the internal marketing team. Implementation was organized in biweekly sprints ending with demo sessions, where the team was presenting a piece of working software and explained how it works.

Our feedback was taken into consideration and handled in the following iterations. Technologies used: Java/Kotlin (Android), Swift/Objective-C (iOS) + integrations with many of the services and platforms that we use, like Magnolia, Salesforce, Airship, Apple Wallet, FB and others.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Regression reports
• New versions available for tests
• New verions available for releases

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Over those few years of collaboration we have had a few Project Managers, but all continued to follow the same process and were very proactive, helpful and professional in leading our products management in collaboration with our internal teams. In the intensive product building phase Apzumi applies Agile Methodologies to manage development. Thanks to this we were included in planning, reviews and QA process and could provide feedback and introduce some enhancement on regular basis.

We were always informed about status of work, tasks were well described and each review was supported by real time demonstration of new app increment with detailed comment how code was implemented and why. The project managers were skilled and experienced in building mobile applications of similar size and complexity.

We were communicating with them either on the phone or via video conferences on a daily and weekly basis. All summaries and important matters were written down and shared via email. The project documentation was done using Confluence - and constantly updated. JIRA was used to monitor task progress and to exchange tickets between the teams involved.

For the apps which are currently in use Apzumi is also supporting us with the maintenance. Through weekly meetings and constant communication we were able to establish smooth cooperation which is helping us to react on daily basis to users’ needs and improve the products.

What was your primary form of communication with Apzumi?

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

The high level of skills and experience of the leaders, who were easily adapting to changing conditions and different business priorities on our end. They were very proactive which made our collaboration smooth. The quality of work was always confirmed by our QA team. On a personal note, cool people to work with.

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

Maybe it would be beneficial to join Apzumi team with ours to collaborate even closer
