Appventurez

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder of a food delivery app company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Appventurez?

We have a number of competitors in the food delivery business who run into serious issues because they rely on local taxi companies to deliver food. So, we wanted to avoid those problems by employing our own fleet of delivery people. Appventurez is helping us create this fully in-house ecosystem by developing our food delivery app solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Appventurez is developing our native iOS/Android delivery apps from scratch. The solution has three parts: a consumer app, a delivery app for our staff, and an Android app for restaurant owners. 

All three are connected through a central web-based command system where we run the business. Part of that system is also public to restaurant owners so that they can manage their inventory, stocks, manuals, and more.

So far, we’ve completed the consumer app, and Appventurez’s team is now working to create the delivery app in parallel with the backend.

What is the team composition?

The development team consists of a main contact, a project manager, a project coordinator, and other resources.

How did you come to work with Appventurez?

After doing some research on Clutch, we contacted a couple of companies. Our goal was initially to find a local vendor, but we couldn’t find anyone at the price we were comfortable with. 

We decided to go ahead with an outsourcing model and chose Appventurez. They presented us with the solution’s architecture as well as a good, up-to-date proposal using native technologies. It was more than just a sales pitch; they brought up options that no one else had considered.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $70,000 to date.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2019, and the work is ongoing. Due to cash flow constraints, we had to split the project into a longer sprint process.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Between 70%–80% of the work is done, and they’re currently working on the third model. Recently, we had an initial beta test for the consumer app with 100 users and have received good feedback about the UI/UX.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

I haven’t heard any complaints from our side, so I assume everything is going smoothly. The team is dedicated and super responsive. If I send them an email, I’m sure to hear back within five minutes. They explain everything as they go along and give us options to choose from. In terms of project management tools, they use Jira to coordinate tasks.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m super impressed by their output and have already referred them to my personal network. At first, I was a little apprehensive outsourcing the project, but I feel good working with them. Whenever there are hiccups, they always come back with a solution. Their sales team, in particular, is great. We call them supercomputers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could be a bit more flexible, especially when working with startups. They like to stick to the scope of work in the contract.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the product manager at a startup. I take care of all the product development and implementation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Appventurez?

We’re in the process of creating an app for an open ecosystem that allows users to find experienced health trainers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Appventurez is in the process of developing the marketplace and social platform for iOS and Android. A health trainer will register on our app, and then explore who is in need of training. Based on their trainee, they will discuss the cost and a plan.

What is the team composition?

We have a team of six developers.

How did you come to work with Appventurez?

They were referred by one of my friends within the industry. He said that their team would be a great fit. Another reason we chose Appventurez because of their skillset and the compatibility of the work they do. I was also impressed with some of the apps they’ve built, so we decided to test them out. Once we started working together, it came to us that we made an excellent decision by choosing them as a partner.

How much have you invested with them?

The total cost of the project has been around $68,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Appventurez in March 2019, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Appventurez is the best of the best. We’re more than halfway through development, and after some testing, hope that the app will go live in July or August. Along with being a nice group of developers, they’re innovative when it comes to technology.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

Appventurez has been wonderful. Their team is excellent at understanding our vision. They come back with helpful suggestions regarding development and user experience. We suggest ideas, and then they come back if our plan isn’t a good fit for the market before making improvements.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their innovative ideas and answers impress me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Appventurez is great because we’re a startup with a tight budget. We approached many other companies, and their cost was much higher than we expected.

BACKGROUND

I’m the COO of Ranvu, an online grocery delivery platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Appventurez?

We engaged Appventurez to provide web and app development and maintenance.

SOLUTION

Appventurez built our mobile app for Android and iOS. One side of the app serves customers while the other serves drivers. We recently added new services to our company and wanted to revamp our website. We’ve already created the wireframes and plans with Appventurez; the development phase will start soon.

What is the team composition?

I only communicate with three people, including a project manager, a software development manager, and a developer. I’m not sure how many people are involved in our project behind the scenes.

How did you come to work with Appventurez?

Appventurez was one of many options that we considered. However, they provided a software development manager that impressed us and has been guiding our company to success ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working in December 2016, and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Appventurez has helped minimize the glitches we sometimes encounter in our app. We appreciate their ability to fix issues right away, and we’re happy with their work overall.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

The team leads a solid workflow. I only have a few points of contact, which I appreciate. Appventurez is flexible enough to send their team members—including the software development manager—to visit our business on-site, where they continue working or deliver technologies. They have also been open to learning about the food delivery business.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Kirti (Co-Founder and AVP Technology, Appventurez) is tremendous. She listens to us without interruption and fully understands what we want. If for some reason, we can’t get ahold of a project manager, she’ll help us out directly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Because of time zone difference, we have a short window to have meetings between our teams.

How did Appventurez perform from a project management standpoint?

Appventurez is readily available. Their team is on track with time management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I enjoy working with Appventurez. Their team comes up with ideas that we haven’t even thought about. They help figure out suggestions that are right for us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

If I don’t answer them right away, they’ll keep contacting me, which I don’t particularly enjoy.

I've been very pleased with their responsiveness and timeliness thus far. We mostly communicate through Slack but also have regular meetings over Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They don't say no to anything. If they don't have the answers, they're willing to do the research until they're able to come back with solutions. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's always room for improvement, but I can't think of anything in particular.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We needed help with web and app development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’ve assisted us in creating a website and a mobile app for one of our clients. The app is a travel management tool built natively for Android and iOS. They used SQL for the backend and AWS as the hosting server.

The app allows people to manage their travel expenses. For example, if a person is traveling for business purposes and they’re using their own car or Uber, they can enter their daily expenses in the app. At the end of the month, it gives the option of sending a statement automatically in their email.

What is the team composition?

They assigned an Android developer, an iOS developer, a backend specialist, and a QA expert.

I handle project management. We used ClickUp and Slack, and communication is fantastic.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They take feedback positively, and once you give it, the same thing isn’t repeated. They’re also available at any time night or day. Their CEO is also a great asset. I could call him at midnight his time and he’d be available to speak to me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

2-5 Employees

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

We approached AppVenturez to develop a web-based app. Our project was unique and white label e-commerce sites were not an option. Therefore, we require a unique custom-made site that allows customers to design and customize their products.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project brief set out all the requirements and features. The completion and functionality of these features in a timeframe determined the success.

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

We were in constant communication and weekly progress emails were sent from AppVentures. During development our needs changed and therefore the timeframe required extending. We were happy with the time taken.

What was your primary form of communication with Appventurez?

Email or Messaging App

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

They always sent regular updates and ask for detailed clarifications of the features (work flows, etc), which means that there's little miscommunications.

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

Attention to detail on design was a constant issue. Being a UX/UI design it is clear when font sizes, shapes, colors, spacing etc are not correct. I would have to spend a lot of time reviewing and requesting design fixes. I think QA only looks at functionality, not design, this needs to change to save time
