BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a senior manager at RAK Ceramics, one of the largest ceramics manufacturing company that exports Tiles, Sanitary Ware, porcelain Tableware, and Faucets to more than 150 countries around the world.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We wanted to start selling our products online, and the board gave us the directive to go online within three months. We needed to find a partner that could develop an e-commerce platform for us quickly without sacrificing its quality and speed.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brainvire Infotech Inc developed a B2C e-commerce site for us.

We split the project into three phases. The first phase involved the development of the MVP, which we launched one month ago. The second phase involved implementing new features as well as extra pages into the website. The third and final phase involved integrating the whole e-commerce business into our ERP system, SAP.

We started the project by gathering our requirements, explaining what we wanted to achieve to Brainvire Infotech Inc, and documenting everything we discussed.

After that initial phase, they set off into Agile development. After developing something, they would test it and hand it over to me for further testing. I would then provide feedback, after which we would move on to the next component.

Tiles are one of the biggest divisions that we have, so we had to implement some custom features to the site for the tile industry. In tile manufacturing, we have the concept of tile batches and Brainvire Infotech Inc implemented batch customization into the site to help us easily manage these tile batches.

Aside from that, we requested a feature that we call a “tile finder”, which allows customers to browse different kinds, colors, and sizes of tiles more easily and in a user friendly manner.

What is the team composition?

I primarily worked with a project manager, but I also worked with four people on the development side and two people on implementing Google Analytics.

How did you come to work with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

When we were looking for a development partner, we sent out an RFP to a number of different companies. We also conducted some reference calls, and we were referred to Brainvire Infotech. After checking out their previous work and confirming the project’s timeline, we decided to go with them for this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked on this project from October 2021-January 2022. We have completed the first phase and are well off into the second phase.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’ve received really good feedback from everyone I’ve shown it to in terms of its look and feel.

We were also able to accomplish the project within three months, which was our original goal for this project.

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

Brainvire Infotech Inc did an excellent job in terms of project management. They were always available and quick to address any issues that I encountered.

The project was very well defined from the beginning and everything was communicated well. I always knew what they were working on and when I can expect them to be delivered. We kept track of all their tasks using Azure DevOps, which ensured the transparency of the project’s progress. 

We primarily communicated through Slack and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Brainvire Infotech Inc has a lot of highly skilled developers, which was one of the reasons why we chose them for this project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Brainvire Infotech Inc could have done better in quality testing before they delivered the product to us. Other than that, it was great working with them and we had a successful launch.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to define what you want with as much detail as you can at the very beginning of the project. The better you define and plan everything in the beginning, the easier the project will be for everyone later on.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at a cybersecurity solutions company. We provide solutions to a network of channel partners across the Middle East and other African enterprises.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

We wanted to change a traditional value-added distribution model where we used traditional methodologies to transact and process business orders. We wanted to change that experience of our channel partners to something that a consumer would typically have in a B2C marketplace or shopping experience. We were looking for a partner to help us deliver the solution by finding the right platform and customizing it to our needs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Brainvire Infotech Inc created a platform where our sales team could create quotations, send them to partners, and do other processing. Our platform also has instant messaging to allow channel partners to chat with our staff.

Overall, there are seven deliverables, including a website they created from scratch and a backend module with a mobile app for our in-house users. They also developed two other applications from scratch for Android and iOS for our partners and vendors — all seven systems are connected through a collaboration platform with API integrations.

Currently, they continue to provide support and further development of new functionalities.  

What is the team composition?

We work with their project leads.

How did you come to work with Brainvire Infotech Inc?

They were referred to us by people who knew about their work. We chose Brainvire Infotech Inc based on the technologies they use and their cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have an extensive network of partners that we work with, and more than 70% of them are already using the platform — we’re onboarding them one by one, and we're going to bring it to 100% very soon. Thanks to the new platform, people chat with the partners, make quotations, and give feedback — it has streamlined our processes massively. Everything goes automatically through our order processing and procurement, and all documents are easy to find in one place.

How did Brainvire Infotech Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

They honestly have done an amazing job to take things on priority and understand the pain points. Best part about their working style is to executive quickly and implement feedback on top priority

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have a good understanding of the project and business model, which is outstanding. Also, they think of various scenarios and have good people that can compare business portals.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could put in people who are more available with language — communication can be a problem if we have somebody from outside the region because it’s hard for them to comprehend. Since we have Arabic speakers and if they have multi-lingual people it would be cherry on the top

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Obviously as client you need to understand and explain the Brainvire Team best scenarios and potentially cover all aspects, however also trust their judgement as they have experienced people who might give you better idea in terms of improvising on the subject matter/business.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If I could do something differently, I would ask the team to document things better internally.
