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

This project aimed to develop a comprehensive system to manage public transportation accidents. The system was divided into two main parts: the backend and the frontend.

• The backend was developed using Java Spring Boot, a robust framework known for its efficiency in handling complex business logic. It managed and processed data related to public transportation accidents, including details about accidents, vehicles, drivers, and passengers. The backend also exposed API endpoints for data manipulation and ensured data security and integrity.
• The frontend was developed using React, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It presented data to the users in an intuitive and user-friendly manner, allowing them to interact with the data effectively. The frontend included various components for displaying data and forms for data input and updates.

The system ensured secure and efficient communication between the backend and frontend. It followed best practices for both Spring Boot and React, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and security. The project also included a comprehensive suite of tests to ensure functionality and reliability. 

This project required careful planning, coordination, and execution, considering its scope and technical complexity. However, once completed, it provided a robust and efficient solution for managing public transportation accidents.

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

• One of the successful project management activities in this project was the effective coordination and communication between the frontend and backend teams.

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

Our company needed to optimize and automate operations related to the receipt, storage, and distribution of flammable and combustible liquids. Therefore, we were looking for a team that could not only develop a solution but also implement it seamlessly without disrupting our core operations. The Aionys team proposed a comprehensive warehouse management system. This allowed us to significantly reduce manual operations, streamline warehouse operations, and reduce costs by minimizing errors.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We used Virtual Meetings and email. We held several onsite meetings to explain the challenges and complexities of the project more accurately and in detail.

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

The first thing I would like to point out is that for our field of activity, the main aspect is the safety of production processes. The integrated management system has increased the level of security and data protection through access control. The second, equally important aspect, is the ability to monitor inventories and control the movement of raw materials in real time. This also allows us to prevent possible discrepancies and improve the quality of our accounting. 

The automation of accounting processes has reduced processing time and reduced the likelihood of errors in reporting and invoicing. These specific results demonstrate not only the progress and success of our project but also its positive impact on our operational efficiency and overall productivity.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our project is unique in that it includes cyclic tasks and processes. Therefore, completion times showcased the progress and success. Aionys effectively made constant changes before launching a demo product and distributed tasks when the project reached a more stable stage. They were available 24/7, addressing potential issues and offering support during every stage of product implementation and enhancement. This marked the inception of a trusting relationship, and we have been working together for many years.

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

Aionys is a very flexible company that works on our needs. I communicated with Ivan, CTO, and Co-founder. We followed Agile practices. As far as we had 10h differences it was highly important. We worked only with high-level guys who could solve most of the issues by themselves. 

We have been working together for a long time, and our project management process is well-established. They have been highly responsive to all our needs and requests. We have consistently set clear deadlines, and they have consistently delivered items on time, which is very reassuring.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing director at Brash Product Development Inc. We’re a full-service product development firm that helps companies execute their ideas. That could be creating products from scratch or redeveloping their existing ones. Our main focus is in medical products, consumer electronics, and app and web development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Aionys?

We’ve hired them to support our mobile and web app development for our clients.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

The work varies from client to client, but Aionys is responsible for developing iOS, Android, and web apps according to our customers’ ask. So far, we’ve done about 5–6 large projects with them, many of which are ongoing.

They’re capable of simpler projects, like building a patient portal for a medical record, as well as complex solutions such as asset tracking. The latter required us to work with them in the backend so that we could track the specific beacons that our client had set up.

What is the team composition? 

We typically communicate through their project leads, but there are also other developers and designers in our Slack channel.

How did you come to work with Aionys?

We met them while working with a mutual client and saw that their work was top-notch. The communication was really good, too, so we reached out to them to see if they were open to collaborating on other client projects.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent close to $80,000–$100,000, working on an hourly basis.

What is the status of this engagement?

The first project was back in October 2018, which is still ongoing as the client’s needs have evolved over time. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Our clients are very happy with all of the projects we’ve worked on together, which speaks to both our efforts and Aionys’ insights. They’re able to understand what’s useful to our clients and address their needs without pushing the project budget up through unnecessary add-ins.

How did Aionys perform from a project management standpoint?

As far as managing projects, they’re pretty accurate. The team sticks to deadlines and always stay within their quotes. If there are any delays, it’s typically on the client's side.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s their communication. I’ve worked with a few companies that are hard to keep track of, or it was difficult to communicate ideas with them. But that’s not the case with Aionys. It’s easy to reach out to them—they’re on our Slack channels, and we’re able to go back-and-forth about our clients’ needs to get things changed right away.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It can be a bit difficult understanding who is working on our projects because everything is facilitated through a project lead. That doesn’t affect our work much, but it’s sometimes helpful for our junior designers and engineers to reach out to their junior staff so that we aren’t always talking through project leads.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?
 
The big thing is just having clarity on what your expectations. Be descriptive, know what you can and can’t do, and just be open to what you’re trying to develop with their team. They’ll definitely give you a lot of insight into what’s useful and feasible as far as the product goes.
