Project summary
BuildApps created a mobile app for an outsourcing company's workers and office employees. The project was divided into 11 stages. The team and the client fixed bugs after every stage before moving forward.

Feedback summary
The company was happy with the app, which worked as they expected. BuildApps managed the engagement well, working closely with the client to resolve issues. They were responsive and highly communicative; the firm was pleased that their resources were truly involved in making the product better.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am CEO of outsourcing company headquatered in Kyiv, Ukraine, which provides workers for logistics and manufactures over the country.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to create a mobile application for our workers and office employees. Due to this app, our workers had to get an opportunity to register for work, track their income, build their working plans. Our office managers had to get functions of creating the orders from any place, signing up our workers for the orders, getting information about workers and clients.

SOLUTION

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

We started to work on this project with other company, which won our tender. But that company wasn't successful, they decided to leave our project, after that BuildApps was the only contractor who agreed to continue this project with us on terms of our tender. We shook hands and implemented the project.

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

First of all, I have to say that terms of our project were longer that we planned because of war in Ukraine that had started in February 2022. Our company stopped activity on MobApp-project for almost 3 month. The second problem was the substitution of head of the project from our side, it added some issues. So, real duration could be 4-5 months. In the beginning we agreed the plan, the project was divided on 11 stages. Also we created a chat in messenger to discuss issues as quickly as possible. After every stage we checked the produced part, fixed bugs and moved further. Sometimes we understood that we wanted an additional options, so than we evaluated them and included to the plan.

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

We contacted constantly a client-manager and 1-2 developers. But I am not sure that nobody else worked on our project)

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our MobApp is only for internal using) So, we can't say something like "it was downloaded 5 mln. times") But the main is that it works, it executes the functions we need and it for sure better that we had earlier)

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

During our project we had 2 or 3 times when we had different evaluations of executed work, but I think that are normal situations and we successfully solved all of them by negotiations. So, it was quite pleasant to communicate and work together. The resources from BuildApps are mostly constructive and effective, a majority of issues we were solving very fast in messenger or sometimes on meetings, it never was a problem)

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

I am not the big professional on Mobile Apps creation, so for me it was very important to make a well-executing application, that satisfies the need of our workers and managers. I hope, we made it) The most valuable for me in our cooperation was that partners from BuildApps offered all the time their own proposals to make an App better, they weren't just executers, they were really involved in the project)

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

I don't have any ideas)
