I'm a Offshore Structural Engineering Manager

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CronJ IT Technologies, and what were your goals?

We extract crude oil as well as natural gas from the earth’s crust. The task is to drill the surface and construct a well to pump the hydrocarbons. An upstream business firm in oil and gas involves high investment capital. Moreover, it is a time-consuming task. The existing workflow had many loopholes.

Thus the need of the hour was to shift to a technologically intensive workflow. A software solution could help us in the effective utilization of resources and speedy work. We required a custom software solution that could help us save time and cost. Besides, we wanted to automate documentation with technology to avoid paperwork. We lacked internal resources to develop a custom software solution.

Hence, we wanted to outsource a custom software development for our benefit. And that’s how we joined hands with CronJ. The main aim of the project was to overcome the above-mentioned challenges. Besides, we had a fixed budget. Moreover, we needed a platform that integrates with cloud servers.

Above all, we needed a team that would partner with us with utmost dedication. All we expected was transparency and long-term support and maintenance.

SOLUTION

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

We know the process that goes behind selecting the vendor. We were not in search of a provider. Rather, we wanted a partner who joined hands with us to achieve our dreams. We considered 5 companies with industry expertise and 5 years of experience. These companies were ready to fulfill our requirements.

But the business models and service plans of other companies weren’t as appealing as CronJ. We were fascinated by the portfolio of their company too. The company nailed their project by chalking out the best framework to meet our needs with a result-driven approach.

We were reassured by the professional approach of CronJ. Hence we joined hands and started our journey.

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

The project started immediately when we hired CronJ. It began with brainstorming the business challenges. Soon after a business analyst provided us some trending market suggestions. These suggestions reflected their knowledge, excellence, and their hold in the industry.

Soon after a technical architect joined the team. He chalked out a blueprint for the solutions that proved beneficial. Besides, the team gave a design mock-up as well as a streamlined workflow. Soon after the design approval, two dedicated developers were assigned for the software development.

Further, at each stage, we were updated about the project. The project manager constantly was open to suggestions and modifications. The dedicated yet flexible nature and the skill-set of the developers ensured rapid progress. The sprints were ready in a matter of a fortnight. At the end of the development, the tester made sure that the solution was highly functional.

They made us a part of testing and welcomed our feedback too. The platform was then integrated with our system. We got a comprehensive service on a tight budget. We are very impressed with the dedication and professionalism which the whole team showed.

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

The team consisted of a project manager, a business analyst, a technical architect, two developers, and one tester. This compact team was the most enthusiastic yet, experienced and dedicated towards the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have transformed our workflow digitally with CronJ’s customized solution. First of all, we were able to launch this software earlier than our expectations.

The custom software for oil and gas helped us manage our upstream exploration and production. Besides, this helped us optimize the workflows. Moreover, the integration with upstream assets and real-time analytics helped us get a clear picture of the activities.

Notably, revenue accounting has improved by 68%. Moreover, maintenance activities have helped us use the resources efficiently. On the other hand, the accounting solution has not only increased operational efficiency but also meet the demands of the advanced workforce.

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

The project was arranged through Jira. We have worked with other vendors for different requirements. Unlike them, CronJ had great project management.

The manager not only efficient communication but also handled troubleshooting issues efficiently. Besides, he regularly updated us about the progress. The business analysts transparently gave us a picture of resources in use. Our approval was the key in every stage.

In the end, we got highly functional software in the stipulated cost and timeline.

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

Firstly, we got access to a team of experts with an excellent command of frameworks. Their skills and knowledge made communication easier.

Secondly, they implemented the latest tools and resources in the development of an upstream oil and gas software system. However, they continue to work with us with constant support and maintenance services.

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

From the quality of work to project documentation, everything was up to the mark. We got we were in search of- a partner. We are content with software development solutions by CronJ. We can proudly say that we found an extremely experienced partner to outsource for our future projects.

I am manager at a leading ecom company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CronJ IT Technologies, and what were your goals?

Due to a large number of fleets, our logistics department were facing quite a number of challenges to manually provide them with the best route. Manually selecting the best routes turned out to be unfruitful since we didn’t create the routes based upon real-time road and traffic conditions. Due to the same, fuel costs were rising and to be truthful hampering our budgets.

Furthermore, late deliveries were another crisis which we were facing leading to bad customer experience over and over again. Hence, we were in search of a route optimization solution that would enable our drivers to travel on the best routes along with the fact that we will be able to track our fleets’ location in case of any emergency. That’s why we hired CronJ to develop a customized route optimization such that while selecting the best routes for our fleets we could also track them down in real-time for the best results.

SOLUTION

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

Nearly every IT firm on the internet is ready to provide a logistics optimization solution. All you need to do is search “route optimization system/software” on Google and there you go. You have a list of thousands of vendors in your hands! But the problem lies in shortlisting the best ones. Hence, we picked a handful of them based on their portfolio, their experience in working in the industry, their client reviews and their business models. However, when we reviewed CronJ’s details we were quite impressed by all their works in the logistics field. Hence, we decided to give them a call.

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

The whole journey started from the time we first connected. We started with stating about the problems while they went through a thorough analysis of both the industry as well as the market. With our expectations and their findings from the result they drafted out a blueprint of the solution which we found the exact fit for our needs. Then we talked about our budget and we were quite astonished when they said it would fit in that too. After shaking hands virtually, the onboarding process took place in a minimal time. 

The team was quite communicative and they were quite an expert in their field, each of them. As the development progressed, they kept us in the loop by updating us about all the stages. And we were quite satisfied with the way they took our reviews for any modifications required such that they could implement them then and there. This did speed up the whole process. Moreover, they faced some major challenges during certain stages but the way they handled it were quite commendable. And finally when the product was developed, their tester made sure that it was in full working condition.

Integration was another aspect which we needed to work on but CronJ took over that burden and integrated the solution with our existing cloud server and weighment and billing software. At the end we were given a tour about how the solution works and how we can handle it.

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

The two most important people in the team were a project lead and a business analyst. While the former was the single point of contact in the whole journey, the latter was present only during the blueprint creation. Apart from that there was a highly experienced technical architect, two dedicated developers, and one UI tester. A sweet and small team we had who proved quite efficient in handling the whole project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This data is compiled after a month of using CronJ’s solution, and from it you will see the positive effect it has created for our firm.

In the first place we were able to cut down our fuel costs by 30%, which is quite an achievement for us.

Secondly, we have been able to efficiently utilize our fleets for successful last-mile deliveries, again saving re-delivery and storage costs.

Thirdly, we also get real-time location updates about our fleets which helps us to monitor employees too. Fourthly, we are able to manage multiple pick-up and drop-up points without compromising the pace of our deliveries. Lastly, we now have happy customers, thanks to CronJ.

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

We have only one word to describe the overall project management - effective. They not only made sure that the completion of each development stage happened within the deadline but also to grant us the full transparency of development. And not only was the team professional but they were well coordinated too. Furthermore, we were quite awestruck by the resourcefulness of the team. Lastly, they were extremely punctual in delivering the project to us within the given time.

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

When we first got a look at the overall expenditure over the solution, we thought it was not going to be the advanced model we had expected for. But CronJ took us by surprise completely.

Not only did they use the best tools and technology in the market but they also provided their best developers for us. We also needed a change during one of the stages of development which was delivered to them at a very awkward time of the day, but in spite of the odd time they responded to us instantly. They are that flexible!

Dedicated, hard-working and cooperative are three words which you can come up with yourself to describe CronJ’s team after reading this review.

Lastly, their after-service support is amazing since whenever we approach CronJ with a problem, our frowning faces always change into happier ones.

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

Nothing from our end since we got the best development experience from them!

I am a Manager at leading consumer goods company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CronJ IT Technologies, and what were your goals?

There’s a lot of things that go on while managing procurement. And since much of our services requires out-sourcing, we were burdened up with a lot of complexities while dealing with getting the right vendors, issuing purchase orders, slowing down of the source-to-settle process and much more.

Furthermore, many of our employees were unable to get their hands on all the paperwork related to our vendors. Hence, we were unable to keep track of all the purchase orders and vendors we had ordered it from.

Thereby, we were looking for a company that could develop a customized Procurement Management Software to streamline this process. Moreover, we wanted an easy-to-use system which we could integrate with our existing systems. Thus, we hired CronJ to develop a smart and customized Procurement Management System to keep a tab on all our vendor and order related operations. We wanted the Procurement Management Software to fulfill certain purposes. Number one, we deal with a lot of suppliers, but they always don’t comply with our policies.

Hence, we wanted this process to get automated.

1. We wanted to automate the supplier shortlisting processes based on certain criteria and thereby manage it efficiently.
2. We wanted real-time updates about risks and information which could harm our supplier management, and capabilities.
3. We wanted our suppliers and sourcing teams to get full visibility of transactions and sourcing activities.
4. Collect ample information to create effective negotiation documents.
5. Evaluate bids based on factors like price, quality and value to meet business requirements successfully. 
6. Properly regulate the procure to pay cycle.
7. Automating the purchase and payment operations.

SOLUTION

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

Finding a good Procurement Management Solution was quite a difficult task, since not many firms plan to create a similar solution. And since we had no internal resources to work on it we decided to go for outsourcing. Most of the firms were internationally-based, but we also found some firms in the country itself. But we faced a lot of problems when it came for budget-friendly options. Finally, one of CronJ’s existing clients recommended it to us. We were quite satisfied with their testimonial, portfolio and client reviews.

Moreover, we were awestruck by their amazing range of services and business models. Finally, they gave us an insight about their recently implemented solutions and their results. We gained trust after talking to them and we started working with them soon

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

Since we were planning to get a customized solution built with advanced ML, Data Analytics and AWS cloud service, CronJ in the first place encouraged us to speak about our requirements and expectations. Soon after, they chalked out a plan, implemented the latest market demand and showed it to us. We were quite impressed with this strategy and soon they transformed the skeleton into a fast development process. We used to get updates frequently about the different stages of development.

Finally, when the solution was developed, they made sure that it operated effectively. Finally, they even helped us to integrate the system with our existing solutions and provided us with a complete tour guide to understand how the developed solution works. The overall experience was perfect.

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

They deployed a team of 2 ML engineers, 2 developers, a project manager, and a tester

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We achieved zero paperwork operations in just a couple of weeks after this solution was deployed. Our employees are able to operate from their mobile devices which is making the solution which is streamlining the entire process while reducing latency. Complete visibility of the entire source to settle process is another milestone which we gained with the help of this solution while we are also able to communicate easily with our suppliers. In short, we are able to complete our assignments faster, enhance our productivity, get clear and actionable insights, reduce costs, save time and focus on value added activities. We expected breaks and delays while integrating the solution with our existing system but CronJ implemented it seamlessly.

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

Slack was the official communication channel. The Project lead was available 24X7 answering our questions. Their team tracked the project deliverables using JIRA.

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

We were impressed with their adaptability to changing requirements. Moreover, they had very good planning and strategic execution. They very smoothly handled requirements change from our side. The way they adapt to the new requirements was amazing and worth mentioning. Moreover, we were amazed by the technology and resources they implemented which were the latest in the market and we are not sure if other vendors can do it.

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

We have no complaints as such and we are looking forward to working with them in the future.

I am Assistant Manager in a consumer products company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CronJ IT Technologies?

Since we deal with pharmaceutical and medical products, we undertake a lot of operations when it comes to Cold Chain operations. Due to the high risks of managing a cold chain manually, we were looking for something automated. We have heard a lot about the IoT and AI-based Cold Chain Management System and its smart facilities. However, we wanted some part of the solution to be customized.

We checked with many service providers for such a solution but either they didn’t have such a solution or demanded a high cost which exceeded our budget. Then we came across CronJ, a renowned company that now stands as a leader in the industry. And that’s how our journey began.

What were your goals for this project?

Since we were mainly dealing with vaccines in the current scenario, we wanted to deploy a solution which would retain their potency while streamlining the process. Moreover, we also wanted a complete visibility of the whole cold chain journey. We wanted facilities for managing and monitoring the shelf time of the vaccines, reefer management, temperature control and other such sub processes. But we wanted a user-friendly application which anyone can use. As a whole we wanted an automated solution to manage the cold chain in such a way that reduces costs while enhancing efficiency.

SOLUTION

How did you select CronJ IT Technologies?

It was a tough job finding a company that suited our needs. We had shortlisted a few companies among many but finding CronJ was not a difficult task at all. Since we were impressed as soon as we saw their website from where we got ample information regarding their business models, projects, and reviews.

What was more amazing was that they had the option for software customization that too at amazing reasonable rates. They even gave proof of their achievements by showcasing some of their best developments and the results they were providing. Mesmerized by such creations, we decided in the affirmative.

Describe the project in detail.

We were unsure about the whole development process. But CronJ was a great mentor to help us understand it. They helped us to understand with the help of a flowchart all the processes in chronological order.

Firstly, they collected all the relevant information related to our expectations and requirements.

Secondly, they created a blueprint of the whole project but they didn’t implement it immediately. Rather they waited for our response and when we nodded in agreement they started developing accordingly. They kept us updated about each development and we were happy to be in the loop.

At the end, they gave us a preview. However, we needed more customization to the developed product and they agreed in an instant! Lastly, they used a tester to make sure that the solution works efficiently. Hence, the solution turned out to be a smooth and glitch-free one.

What was the team composition?

The project had a team led by the Project manager. Further it had an experienced technical architect. Besides, it had dedicated engineers. Also, it was backed by a tester to ensure smooth functioning. The business analysts proved resourceful too.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We were extremely happy with the product since not only it unloaded much of the burden from the shoulders of our employees but we were also able to satisfy our clients greatly by providing them with potent vaccines. Now we no longer need to worry about if the temperature of a reefer varies, since with the help of sensors we can easily check it remotely.

We also get alerts if any reefer breaks down in the middle of the track and send a backup immediately. Moreover, all manual errors in handling major paperworks are eliminated. Moreover, we get accurate reports related to our inventory and warehouses with the help of this system. Besides, we overcame the drawbacks that we faced earlier with automation.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

CronJ was professional in managing the project. Implementation was smooth and KT was given to all our stakeholders in an easy-to-understand manner. Along with their professional approach, the team was well-coordinated. The resource persons were highly flexible. They delivered the project with utmost punctuality.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We never thought that CronJ would use such an amazing skill set and resources, even at such a reasonable package. Since they had a strong grip on their domain knowledge, they provide logically sound and practical suggestions which benefited us. The team were extremely cooperative and hardworking, a combination which was extremely valuable.

Besides, they used the latest technology available which made the solution a cutting-edge one. The best part was, they understood the market needs and thereby handled the changes requirement smoothly.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, they rendered a smooth service. They are the best. Keep up the good work. We look forward to working with the dedicated developers in the future.

Just like companies who have a large number of inventories and face problems managing it, we too were facing some crisis while getting a clear picture of its operations.

Then gave us a preview of the system’s working capacity by using quality checkers and testers.
