OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

One of our customers is an EU-based company and one of the major players that dominate the nutrition market. They needed help with mobile app MVP development. We couldn’t cover React Native needs at that moment so we turned to Altence for React Native support to successfully deliver MVP and ensure future cooperation with our client.

SOLUTION

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

We cooperated with the Altence founders for a long time, so there was no doubt about their expertise and reliability.

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

We needed to create a mobile app for employee development and internal training for one of our clients. It was necessary to have an app for Android and iOS platforms. Additionally, the scope of work included providing a way where non-tech-savvy users can publish and edit their content in the app.

The tech stack for this project was mainly focused on React Native, NestJs, Azure, Azure DevOps

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

The vendor’s team consisted of 2:

• 1 team lead / full stack developer
• 1 react native developer

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project was successful, we were able to deliver everything we committed to in time. The level of the developers and the team exceeded all expectations. The quality of the code was great.

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

The first thing I think of is highly effective communication. The team was always available. I’d also point out that they were doing the most of their tasks ahead of a timeline, so we have time to improve the product and suggest new functionality.

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

The most unique thing about them was their deep understanding of the technologies used. The team suggested technical solutions and drove the whole development from the start.

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

Due to covid, one of the team members got sick for a quite long time period, but they quickly replaced a developer and still managed to get the job done on time.
