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

Angloseed Labs developed the Making Vinyl Marketplace, a dedicated platform where vinyl industry professionals can list and discover new and used equipment, parts, materials, and services. The scope included website design and development, listing submission forms, seller and buyer inquiry workflows, and refinements based on our feedback. Key deliverables included: - A branded marketplace website with clear navigation and organized listing categories. - Listing submission forms that capture relevant information and require a photo. - A listing approval process with a confirmation message explaining that approval may take up to 24 hours. - An inquiry workflow that sends buyer questions to both the seller and our team, allowing direct communication while keeping us informed. - Informational pages explaining how the marketplace works, its benefits, and how to contact us. - Final revisions and launch support to prepare the platform for public use. Deep and Nick were responsive throughout the project, helping us refine the platform into an end product that exceeded our expectations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The clearest outcome was a completed Making Vinyl Marketplace that exceeded our expectations. Users can submit listings for equipment, parts, materials, and services, and buyer inquiries go directly to both the seller and our team, reducing the need for us to act as the middleman. Early feedback has been positive, and the platform gives us a practical foundation for growing this new service. While it is too early to report traffic, listing volume, or sales figures, the successful delivery and improved inquiry process demonstrate clear progress.

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

Deep and Nick were very responsive and made the overall experience enjoyable. They listened carefully to our needs, welcomed feedback, and worked with us to refine the marketplace as our requirements evolved. Their clear communication and willingness to make adjustments helped keep the project moving forward and resulted in an end product that was even better than we imagined.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Algoseed Labs?

We needed help with web app development and design.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Algoseed Labs has helped us design and develop our web app. We first discussed the project with them and outlined everything we needed to complete it. I also provided them with suggestions for the technology stack, and they iterated with me on what would be the best solution.

From there, the rest of the process was very easy. Their team built the web app using TypeScript and Mongoose, and they hosted it on AWS. They also provided us with great suggestions along the way. Since then, they’ve been in charge of our app’s maintenance, and they will help us with future updates when needed.

With this app, our users are able to sign up, create an account, and verify their identity through KYC testing. It also has a user wallet feature and tracking functionality to see what the investor is doing on their portfolio.

What is the team composition?

I’ve mainly worked with Nick (Co-Founder & COO). I’ve also worked with his business partner, a backend developer, and a frontend developer.

I met Nick through LinkedIn and discussed the project with him. He was very clear and easy to communicate with, and quickly we set an agreed timeline and scope.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $10,000 CAD (approximately $8,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2021, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to this new app, we’re growing our user base despite our recent launch; we were even getting signups during the pre-launch stage. In general terms, Algoseed Labs’ development process was flawless, and they delivered the product right on time. We’re so satisfied with their work that we’ve even referred them to two other people.

How did Algoseed Labs perform from a project management standpoint?

Algoseed Labs’ project management is great. After defining the scope, we created a project management board in a Scrum setup and went from there. Although we stumbled upon a few hiccups during this process, we tackled them, and everything went well.

Aside from the development process, Nick has been great at walking me through various technical aspects even outside of his scope. For example, the other day, I had an issue with Klaviyo, and he took the time to help me with the documentation and walk me through the process.

Communication-wise, Algoseed Labs is very available, and we always get a response in no more than 24 hours. We communicate with them over Slack.

We were looking for a way to build products on shopify that were not tangible but could be linked for searchable lists and curated to our customers wants and needs.

SOLUTION

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

We met with several vendors and felt that Nick and his team at Algoseeds were able to best see our full project scope from start to finish both the back-end and the front facing aspects.

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

They used AWS and shopify to create a unique app of our website. They created a database that could pull in select information and convert it to specific products on our shopify website.

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

2. Software designers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Hi. I’m the AVP of Dhurina Ventures Private Limited, an Ed-Tech company that provides quality education at affordable prices to government job aspirants and school students of India. Dhurina is a mobile application that provides online courses at pocket-friendly prices by onboarding the country's best educators.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Algoseed Labs, and what were your goals?

We wanted an online mobile application where we could run our courses.

SOLUTION

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

One of the co-founders of also seeds labs was in constant touch with us and guided us from the very start of the project. He was involved from the conceptualization to the final delivery of the product and even after that. The hardworking team converted our idea into a user-friendly and interactive mobile application through which more than 2 million students are learning to accomplish their dreams today.

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

I was quite familiar with his tech-savvy techniques and knowledge. Also, when I went through the reviews of the company, that pushed me to work with them as soon as possible.

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

initially, the team consisted of 3 members, one the co-founder himself, 2 developers (both frontend & backend). Gradually, the team increased and went up to a number of 5-6 members.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We needed a mobile application that could stand out in the market against our well-established competitors. They understood the complexity of the project and delivered us an app with such multiple features and on time. This mobile app is the base of our company and our growth somehow depicts their top services.

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

They are great at it. None of the members in their team made us ask for updates again and again. They used to stay connected with us through Skype. Whenever required, they added on their suggestions throughout the project and delivered all the modules on time.

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

They understood the complexity of our project and delivered the project on time while being in constant communication with us. Their dedicated services at such reasonable charges is what impressed us the most.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a company that connects people’s online shopping habits with initiatives for bettering the environment.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Algoseed Labs?

I’m not a technical person but I’m trying to set up a technology company. I brought in Algoseed Labs to create a tool that centers on usable energy. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We jump-started the project with me providing documentation and Algoseed Labs doing some research and discovery. Their team has connected the dots and allowed me to see the limitations of the technology available, especially with small aspects of the product such as the Facebook and Google login.

They are now building a Google Chrome extension according to my specifications. They also manage the images to ensure consistency. Using HTML and JavaScript, Algoseed Labs builds the front- and backend along with features like a streamlined sign-in function, table of users, appointment templates, and connection with other databases. We’ve made a few changes along the way to try to adapt to certain situations that I had not thought about but that they were able to bring up. 

What is the team composition?

I’m in contact with four people, but I think there are more members working behind the scenes.

How did you come to work with Algoseed Labs?

I had gone through a pretty rigorous interview process with different developers but decided to hire Algoseed Labs in the end because I, as a non-technical person, was able to use common parlance with them to get the result I wanted. Developers I had worked with previously had to read between the lines to find the best solution, whereas Algoseed Labs have a very good understanding of what I mean.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve invested $4,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in April 2021. We’re not totally finished with this piece of work, but we’re near the end and will probably need to do some more development afterwards. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Algoseed Labs has definitely demonstrated their solid culture and the quality of their work. They’ve been very good at assigning tasks to different members of their team. They check in with me every day and at every milestone, which is very important especially when working remotely. Them showing me their progress and results almost every day, or simply coming to me for more guidance, has created a sense of trust between us.

How did Algoseed Labs perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Slack every day and have Zoom calls whenever I ask. They’re in constant communication with me, which is wonderful because I like hearing from my partners. I’ve worked with quite a few remote developers who were annoyingly hard to reach and would ignore my questions until they had an answer, but this team is always very quick to get back to me with at least some kind of response, if not the perfect answer. It has helped me understand that they’re actually doing the legwork. 

Algoseed Labs has also been really good at the research element of the project. They let me know about the different things we could try, their level of complexity, and the cost.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their work is very good and their communication is amazing. Algoseed Labs has the ability to hold the hand of a non-technical partner through the project, which is something I’ve not experienced anywhere else.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I know that the more time we spend catching up on Zoom, the less time they have to do the development work. However, given the speed at which they’re doing things, I probably wouldn’t change anything. They’ve been great.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

There are no stupid questions with Algoseed Labs. Even if you don’t know what to ask, they will find out for you. Other developers find that being asked a lot of questions or updates is a hassle, but Algoseed Labs is happy to provide all the information, like how long the project is going to take or if a timeline is going to change. Be in contact with them as much as possible. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of a company that sells luxury goods online. We have a website and sell on multiple platforms, including eBay.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Algoseed Labs?

Our website had significantly slowed down. We had integrated a translation app and made other modifications to our platform, which influenced its performance.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Algoseed Labs was tasked with speeding up our Shopify website. Additionally, we wanted to apply minor modifications to our platform and other things that needed to be coded. One of the modifications they did was the sizing of our product pages. 

What is the team composition?

I communicated with Nick (Co-Founder) during the project.

How did you come to work with Algoseed Labs?

They’re a local company from Montreal, and my partner knew someone that collaborated with them. He suggested that we reach out to them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $4,000–$5000 on the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement was in August 2020. It took them almost a week to complete the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It’s hard to say what the future impact will be, but we know that for Google ratings and SEO, page speed is a very important factor in a website’s performance. With regard to that, our website is a lot faster now.

Our platform also looks better with the small modifications that Algoseed integrated. In conclusion, we were happy with their services, especially considering we’ve hired other people before and received negative results.

How did Algoseed Labs perform from a project management standpoint?

They developed everything quickly, and they kept in communication with us throughout the project. They also understood what we needed to be done. Overall, we never had any issues with their project management process.  

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive thing was their communication skills. Additionally, they delivered everything that we wanted. It was a pretty rare experience.

Are there any areas they could improve?

In terms of this specific project, I don’t think they had any areas that they could have improved upon; the task was quite simple and straightforward. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Just be clear about what you want so that they have evident guidelines on what they need to follow. Some people are not clear on what they want and then end up dissatisfied when they never made it clear in the beginning.
