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

Working with the team was a really good experience. They delivered everything on time, were easy to communicate with, and always took the time to understand what we needed. Whenever we had questions or asked for changes, they were quick to respond and happy to help. Since JLPT registration has quite a few specific requirements, we really appreciated their patience and flexibility. It was reassuring to know we could count on them, especially during the busy registration period.

What was your primary form of communication with Atta Systems?

Virtual Meeting

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

What impressed us the most was how quickly they understood exactly what we needed and how well they managed to deliver everything in such a short time. Despite the tight deadline, they never compromised on quality, and the platform met all the requirements set by the Japan Foundation. They managed to make what initially seemed like a rather complicated project feel surprisingly straightforward. We really appreciated their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail.

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

I honestly can't think of anything they could have done differently. We knew what we needed, and they knew exactly how to make it happen. Communication was smooth, the whole process went really well, and we felt we were in good hands from start to finish. I don't feel there's much advice I could offer a team that clearly knows what they're doing!

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the program engagement lead at Design for Good. We mobilize creatives from around the world through our alliance members, which include big organizations like General Mills and Lloyds Banking Group. We match them with charity partners to use their design skills on projects that make a difference in the world. We run cycles that align with specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

My role involves strategic planning, building partnerships, measuring impact, and overseeing the implementation of projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Atta Systems?

We were looking for a company to develop an app that we had designed. The app was from our first cycle, which focused on SDG 6: clean water and sanitation. We developed the app with one of our design teams and an organization called Biome Environmental Trust, which ran the Million Wells project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've provided Atta Systems with the app’s design, and they've built it. The Million Wells project is about storing and logging details about open wells in Bengaluru, India. The app maps wells and stores information such as the water level, quality, and state of repair. This information is useful for local well diggers and people to help with water retention in the city.

Biome had an existing map database kept on Google Sheets and updated by well diggers using WhatsApp. Our team designed an app to digitize this information so that well diggers could update the information about wells and add new ones. We designed the app using Figma, and Atta Systems has used Draftbit, Node.js, Next.js, and React to build the app.

Atta Systems has released the app but continues to provide support through the first launch.

What is the team composition?

Three designers completed the app’s design and didn’t interact with Atta Systems. Atta Systems interacted with me and Jem, our program engagement coordinator.

How did you come to work with Atta Systems?

We were looking for organizations that could build the app, had a good reputation, produced good work, and were open to partnering with charities. We found Atta Systems on Clutch, which is very helpful for finding partners.

How much have you invested with them?

Atta Systems has completed the work pro bono, but the total spend was around $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Atta Systems in July 2024, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app they've built for us is absolutely fantastic. We've measured success through our charity partner, Biome, as they had connections with the people within the communities who would use the app. Atta Systems has created a fantastic app with the features we asked for. Biome has been doing user testing with well diggers in Bengaluru, and the app has received great feedback.

How did Atta Systems perform from a project management standpoint?

Atta Systems has met our deadlines. The team has been fantastic in terms of responsiveness and has always gotten back to us quickly. If there are any delays, Atta Systems communicates them promptly. The team is also reactive when we give them feedback. We use Google Sheets to document the process and communicate via email and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Atta Systems is very autonomous and focused on delivering the right product to the right audience. We are super busy, and it has been reassuring to work with a partner that takes full ownership of the project and ensures it is delivered successfully. Atta Systems has kept us updated throughout the process. The team is very responsive and communicative, and has developed something fantastic.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything Atta Systems could improve. The team is super helpful, wonderful to work with, and nice people.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Share your needs and what you’re looking for. Atta Systems asks all the right questions to ensure they get things right. You can be confident they will take your idea and produce something fantastic.

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

The Child Protection Information System (CPIS) is a government information system developed for Ministry of Labor and Social Protection designed to store, process and provide social, medical, educational and public order information on children (at risk, separated from parents, adopted, abducted, repatriated) and their family or legal representatives / guardians, as well as information on actions taken against children. 

The System has the following objectives: 

• Digitization of data collection processes on the situation of children in the records of the competent authorities and maintenance of a database in electronic format. Through the SIPC, users will be able to record, manage and monitor data and information on children's cases, and act in accordance with the working algorithms related to the identified level of risk in order to prevent risk situations and / or adjust interventions in the best interests of the child. 
• Support obtaining relevant information about the case (including the status of the case, with the generation of alerts and notifications), making referrals of the child to relevant social services, transferring files between case managers from different second level administrative-territorial units, obtaining relevant information from other sectors (health, education, public order, justice) through the Interoperability Platform (MConnect), as well as managing individual assistance plans, cases of adoption, abduction and repatriation of children. 
• Ensure the calculation of performance monitoring indicators in the application of case management, ensuring alternative child care or adoption, as appropriate, preventing and combating violence against children, repatriation of children, assistance to the child victim of the crime of abduction, with the generation of reports statistics and dashboards for making informed decisions about the cases of children registered in the system.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The following deliverables were expected: 

• Fully functional Child Protection Information System (CPIS) that meets the software requirements specifications and is hosted in the government cloud infrastructure.
• Software testing – During the design and coding phase, the provider should ensure that each function written has an accompanying test functionality that passes before conclusion, this will aid in automatic testing. The service provider should also conduct thorough software testing accompanied by a test script and user acceptance testing through a demo to verify the software system and assure that the final user is satisfied with the software features and interface and provide a user acceptance report for adoption.
• System deployment and training – the service provider should prepare documentation guides (User guides, Administration guides, Developer guides) and conduct training sessions for the system users. As an optional feature, the service providers can prepare a video guide to satisfy training needs. 
• Maintenace – service provider should prepare a maintenance and adaptation plan. 

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

• Project was implemented using Agile methodology. 
• Project management was done using Jira and weekly updates from the development team.
• All deliverables were delivered on time and aligned with the technical requirements.
• The development team very responsive and flexible. 

What was your primary form of communication with Atta Systems?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

• What stood out was Atta Systems' remarkable blend of technical excellence and deep sector understanding. They didn't just build a system—they crafted a tailored, secure, and intuitive platform that directly addressed the complex needs of child protection in Moldova. 
• Their ability to seamlessly integrate local regulatory requirements and stakeholder feedback into a robust, user-centric design was truly unique. This approach not only ensured compliance and data integrity but also significantly enhanced the operational efficiency of child protection services, making a real difference in the lives of those served. 
• Finally, the Atta System team showcased great flexibility and adaptability working alongside government partners to build and improve the Child Protection Information System. 

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

Atta Systems delivered a strong, tailored solution that responded to technical specifications. There are only two areas where we could have improved: 

1. A more iterative and better documented development process could have allowed for even quicker incorporation of user feedback during early and mid-deployment stages. 
2. Enhanced training and ongoing support for local teams might have further bolstered system adoption and long-term maintenance.

UPDATED REVIEW

Mircea Popa
Co-Founder, MedicaiHealthcare

Romania

1-10 Employees

Nov 2017 - Ongoing

$200,000 to $999,999
Project summary
AB4 Systems developed a medical imaging platform aimed at assisting patients and clinics facing patients with chronic skin conditions. The final version of the platform incorporated user feedback to prioritize patient experiences.  

Feedback summary
The platform has performed exceptionally well and has been almost entirely bug-free after over 200,000 requests. Each member of the AB4 Systems team was reliable and knowledgeable, creating a fluid project management experience.
BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there. 

I’m the co-founder of SkinVision, a mobile app that allows users to analyze their moles and screen for melanoma. After stepping away from the executive team in 2017, I started another company called Medicai.

Medicai is a startup that runs a medical imaging platform for both clinics and patients. We target people with serious chronic conditions. Our goal is to improve the way multidisciplinary teams work with their patients. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AB4 Systems? 

After working with AB4 Systems to develop SkinVision, I approached them again to build out our medical solution for Medicai.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

AB4 Systems has developed Medicai’s entire medical imaging platform from scratch, translating our business needs into a solid product design. They use several technologies to develop the front- and backend.

The main challenge has been setting up the right cloud infrastructure. At the moment, the solution is mostly a web app that exists on a clinic’s local server. By pushing the system into a cloud environment, we could create new features for clinics to use that wouldn’t be possible with their current server limitations.

Besides scaling our product, AB4 Systems is also partially responsible for incorporating user feedback into the design. I work with them closely to ensure that the final build has a good user experience.

What is the team composition?

There are 8–9 team members, including a project manager, a systems architect, a graphic designer, a UX designer, and developers.

How did you come to work with AB4 Systems?

I’d gotten to know AB4 Systems through their work on SkinVision. At the time, I was having problems filtering user-submitted images, so I needed an iOS developer that also understood image analysis.

Their team stepped in and fixed the app for me. As the project continued, they grew as a company and gained a better sense of what I needed. It was a natural step to hire them for Medicai because if a team works that well, why break it up?

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve invested around $250,000–$300,000 so far. We have another $200,000 budgeted for next year.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together on this project toward the end of 2017, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The product went public 3–4 months ago, and we already have users. Out of 200,000 requests, the error rate on our backend is only 0.0018, which is amazing.

As more users onboard onto the platform, who knows if that error rate will continue. It’s unrealistic to expect zero technical issues, but we’ll be fine if we try to limit bugs.

How did AB4 Systems perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been great. We do 1–2-week sprints depending on what needs to be done, and they interact well with other parts of our company. In terms of communication, we use different project management tools like Slack to keep focused. 

I appreciate that I’m able to speak to any team member directly without losing sight of the project goals. If I have an urgent task, I know that I can call their developers and count on them to execute without messing up the sprint plans.

That level of coordination is not typical with other agencies. I’ve worked with disastrous teams that wouldn’t budget things properly and often choked on the work that needed to be done. They’d take on other projects without allocating enough time to properly finish ours, which caused month-long delays. With AB4 Systems, we’ve managed to avoid most of those things.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I appreciate how well they’ve integrated with my company. They have a bird’s eye view of our business and understand the complexities around the project. 

They know that the product development team can’t be isolated from the rest of the company if they want to make the right impact; they need to be a part of the bigger organism. It’s about synchronizing with the marketing department, customer support team, and sales.

AB4 Solutions prioritizes our entire team’s needs and works flexibly to get things done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t really put my finger on anything at this point. If there were something, I’m sure I’ve probably brought it up with them, and they’ve worked on it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d highly recommend them because they really build world-class products. Usually, companies tend to want discounted rates, but then the quality suffers as a result. AB4 Systems is worth the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

I first talked to Atta Systems in December 2023, and our engagement started in January 2024. Our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've taken down our previous application from the market, so we don't have active enrollments now. My experience with Atta Systems has been positive, and the design work is really good. We've worked with a couple of external UI consultants who are also impressed with Atta Systems' work. I want to congratulate the entire team.

How did Atta Systems perform from a project management standpoint?

Atta Systems delivers work on time and has good communication with us via Jira and Slack.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to highlight our designer, who has a prior background in education, and her knowledge and experience are invaluable to the project. I also want to highlight Tudor (Product Manager & Product Design Lead), who communicates clearly with us.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Atta Systems' biggest strength is their team. They have well-experienced team members who are proficient in their job and provide top-quality work. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Atta Systems can improve — we're satisfied with their work. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest having several calls with the team before engaging with them. The IT sales team listened to my needs and had two-way communication, offering helpful advice for me and my users. I definitely recommend working with Atta Systems because they have the required skill set for any software development project. Trust the team and ask for their advice because their input has been very valuable to me.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of Eupnoos, a health technology company focused on respiratory diseases. We use sound as a diagnostic for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Atta Systems?

We needed to find a company with in-depth experience in developing native mobile platforms for both iOS and Android. What we were doing was very sophisticated in terms of leveraging the smartphone’s existing sensors and hardware because smartphones aren’t really built for our purposes.

Therefore, we required a partner who understood the ins and outs of smartphone firmware systems and could develop apps that leveraged smartphone sensors in the best possible way. Moreover, given that this app would be used in healthcare, we also needed to meet a lot of requirements regarding its security and robustness.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We originally hired Atta Systems to develop our iOS app because we were working with another agency on developing the Android version. However, our experience with our other agency wasn’t what we had initially expected, so I tasked Atta Systems with the entire product development project.

Initially, we had a briefing call to kickstart the project. Since then, Atta Systems has been helping us with UI/UX design and front- and backend development for iOS and Android. The key feature of our app is its audio signal processing capability. It captures patient-generated audio through any smartphone and processes it to generate a diagnosis.

What is the team composition?

Atta Systems provides us with the equivalent of two full-time employees. Their team includes a UX designer, a DevOps manager, and a backend developer.

Andrei (Co-Founder & Managing Partner)

How did you come to work with Atta Systems?

I met Andrei at an event for the healthcare industry and learned that Atta Systems had been working with pharmaceutical companies and developing medical apps, so we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $125,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we haven’t launched the app yet, our KPIs of success will be the app’s performance, the quality of the code written by Atta Systems, and the documentation they ultimately provide us with. As for the quality of their services, Atta Systems’ development process has been very smooth. They’ve been extremely proactive at identifying, tracking, and addressing bugs.

How did Atta Systems perform from a project management standpoint?

Thus far, the project has been quite unpredictable because we’ve added requirements on the go. Therefore, the budget and timelines have been flexible. Still, Atta Systems has also been very flexible about this situation.

Additionally, they’ve been transparent regarding how long certain tasks take to complete; they’ve never promised to deliver something and failed. Given that what we’re developing is very new, it’s hard to make an accurate assessment. Thus, Atta Systems has been smart in not committing to certain things to avoid raising expectations.

As for communication, we’ve had a great experience collaborating with Atta Systems. We have a constant stream of communication via Slack, WhatsApp, and email. Their team uses Jira internally for project management, and they provide me with a Google spreadsheet that they keep updating to keep me abreast of the project's progress.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Atta Systems understands the limitations and operating conditions of startups in the healthcare industry, so they’ve been extremely proactive in making suggestions to help us manage the project's operational costs. Overall, working with them has been a very easy process.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Atta Systems’ services are quite expensive from a startup affordability perspective. Still, their prices are very competitive compared to other development agencies focused on creating products for commercial distribution.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be proactive and strive to co-develop the product. Invite them to the table and keep the conversation going during the development process because they have a lot to contribute to your end product.

They are proactive, we are in contact with them constantly through slack, zoom. Since we started working with them, we changed our product development process to their process because it is very well structured and we have seen that it brings results, predictability and it is adaptable.

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

The first thing we noticed was their tehnical expertise. After we started working together, we also learned that they have a really high level of empathy for their customers. They did try to understand our struggles and our problems, and they always adapted. They are also great communicators, they encourage their whole team to communicate with us to make the feedback loop shorted during the development cycle. They are fast, they deliver amazing quality.

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

We overshoot the budget and timeline (also because there was more work than initially expected) so being clear on deliverables and timelines / setting.
