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

Our entire AI system was upgraded and our web app was redesigned in the project.

Acquaint Softtech repackaged our detection model. They introduced an improved tagging system and sorted out thousands of pictures which we had collected. They also developed a training pipeline that is able to identify dents, odd lines on the chassis and light reflections revealing previous repairs.

An incident we can recall is when we had sent them car pictures at night of a weakly lit parking area. We considered that the model would not work. Instead, the team enhanced the preprocessing pipeline to the extent that the AI was also able to extract the shape of the car even in low-light scenarios. It was a great breakthrough to us.

At the web front they redefined the entire user experience. The novel platform will allow its users to take a picture on their phone and send it to the model and receive a fast list of the potential issues. They further put in place the other concepts we had not considered like a brief explanation of how sure the AI is, so users can understand why a particular component was flagged.

Key deliverables:
- A new AI inspection model
- New web frontend and new web backend.
- A safe API connecting the AI engine to the web interface.
- Admin controls in order to review flagged cases by our team.
- A new user dashboard that is used to save previous inspections.

In the process, they demonstrated small demonstrations and allowed us to test features as they were being refined.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We did not follow specific figures on Clutch, but we noticed some definite improvements. Indicatively, those users who experimented with the system within the company started to have more confidence in it, particularly when it indicated minor flaws they had not noticed.

There were also instances when the AI did not comprehend strange car angles and this was something that would irritate us previously. The support team told us that users are no longer calling us complaining of ambiguous results. It is an indication that the platform is getting more stable and reliable.

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

They handled the project on a regular basis and collaborated with us. They were sending short messages, quick calls and sharing of screens rather than long documents and this helped in making communication easier.

When we requested some adjustments be it on the way the system can identify damaged areas they normally responded within a day or two with a functioning one. They did not force us to adhere to strict rules; they corresponded to our kind of working. They were punctual and where additional time was necessary, they justified their actions.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The thing we found the most impressive is that they attempted to get the context of the technology as much as possible. They did not simply create what we ordered but instead asked questions like: How do buyers typically take pictures? What happens when a car is covered in dust? Should the AI respond differently once a photo has been taken inside a house? They were willing to address real issues and this made the end product seem more helpful in real-life scenarios.

The other unique feature was that they continued to test themselves on the platform. Some times they would send us pictures of cars they scanned, even of random cars at the side of the office, just to demonstrate how the model operated in varying circumstances.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

No, they even got better at the way they acted later on when writing about things.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Acquaint Softtech Private Limited provided custom development services. They did the online booking system, payment integration, review management system, and central reservation system.

6-10 Employees

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

Acquaint Softtech served as an offshoring partner of our core team of engineers. They are an Official Laravel Partner, which is why they used the advantages of the framework to create the logic of our backend anew.

The Key Deliverables were:

• Asynchronous Queue System: They introduced the step of processing our orders as a Laravel-based queue system instead of a wait-to-complete model. This enabled the system to receive the order of the customer in real time and the heavy lifting done in the background.
• Redis Integration: They introduced a high-performance Redis caching layer that held product metadata and inventory particularly so that the main database was not being accessed by thousands of simultaneous users.
• Query Optimization / Database Refactoring: They have profiled all our current SQL queries and re-written them to be faster, especially our complex filtering system (size, brand and discount depth).
• Atomic Locking Mechanisms: To address our duplicate order issue, they came up with a bespoke solution based on atomic locks to give a user the impression of being able to three times during a lag spike and only one transaction would be ever made.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The physical outcome was the most evident, and this was the stability of the site at the time of high traffic. In the past, whenever a big brand was unveiled the checkout process would slow down or stop intermittently. Following the implementation, the spinning wheel during check out disappeared.

When we were on promotion periods, the number of orders that were processed successfully per minute increased by very large margins. Moreover, our customer services on the issue of Duplicate Charges or Order Not Found dropped to almost zero. The system now manages the fast selling sales in a composed and stable pace.

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

Acquaint Softtech used a very strict Agile approach. They were very receptive to our Slack channels and very well adapted within our Jira workflows.

Timelines: They met all the key milestones, especially the most important deadline of our mid-year End of Season event.

Responsiveness: their key feature was the proactive communication. In case they discovered a bug on a legacy feature they were working on they did not simply ignore it, they marked it and suggested a fix and usually had a patch ready before it could affect our sprint.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their superpower is that they have an in-depth understanding of Laravel. A variety of agencies employ a plug-in or quick-fix, but Acquaint Softtech knows the framework on a nano level. They could make the backend logic to suit our needs and constraints, such as the need to retain our current payment provider, without the typical it-is-not-possible reasons. They are real problem solvers and they know the business cost of technical debt.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

No

I am the Senior Policy Advisor of Affordable Medicines Europe

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Affordable Medicines Europe is the association of parallel importers and exporters of pharmaceuticals, and it represents more than 120 companies operating in 23 countries of the European Economic Area.  The mission of its members is to offer a better deal for original European supply. 

Parallel importers purchase medicines from pharmaceutical wholesalers in other EU/EEA member states, and sell them in the national market at a lower price in compliance with the regulation of the recipient country. Parallel imports of pharmaceuticals create competition in a business where patents provide the rights owners with a monopoly.  This competition leads to reductions of the price and the creation of savings.

2-5 Employees

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

Acquaint Softtech undertook the project with a good knowledge of regulatory environment and the actual operational requirements. The spectrum was on the full web development and much focus was put on the backend security and access control.

The main aspects of the solution were:

• Creating a Laravel-driven backend architecture that was able to support fine-grained access control with multiple user roles and organizations.
• Installation of role-based permission systems, that is, users were allowed to access data relevant to their duties.
• Creating safe APIs that have authentication and authorization levels to secure exchanges of data.
• Establishing audit trails on every sensitive operation to enable the administrator to see the past access and modification history whenever required.
• Developing processes that enabled employees and healthcare workers to accomplish their everyday duties effectively, without superfluous bottlenecks in the approval process.
• The frontend integration also required some support in such a way that security features would operate effectively in the background, without having to make the user experience more complicated.

During the development, Acquaint Softtech engaged intimately with our internal stakeholders to confirm assumptions and change flows based on actual usage situations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Having just launched, we could notice that at once we started feeling quite confident in handling sensitive data. The system automated access checks which would have been done manually. Onboarding of the staff also became more regular, and audits no longer demanded gathering information using various sources.

Of the greatest importance, sensitive data access has been managed without even decelerating the staff, and that was among our greatest concerns when we embarked on the project.

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

The entire process of project management was clear and well-organized. Acquaint Softtech segmented the project into distinct steps and this has enabled us to test and examine key elements of security early on instead of implementing the tests at the later stage.

They met milestones on time and responded so well whenever we needed to seek amendments particularly on issues to do with usability by non-technical users. Regulatory/operational questions arise, they took time to get the situation and then offered solutions.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The most impressive thing about them was their ability to strike a balance between strict privacy and access regulations and the realities of operations. Numerous vendors are oriented either on security only or on usability only, meanwhile, Acquaint Softtech always kept in mind both.

They were also familiar with laravel and this showed in the manner they cleanly accomplished permissions, APIs and audit logs. The system is strong without being cumbersome or limiting to the end users.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

Early UX mockups might have been released a bit earlier and non-technical stakeholders engaged in the process earlier. That notwithstanding, when there was feedback, the changes were made promptly and sensibly. On the whole, the problems that influenced delivery or confidence with the system were absent.
