Capital Numbers

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re a US startup that wants to develop and sell a piece of software for lending money.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Capital Numbers?

We needed software developers to help us with the development of our product.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Capital Numbers is building our software. It allows users to get loans online in a few minutes.

Initially, we just provided the designs in Photoshop and all of the logic behind how the loans would be distributed. Then, Capital Numbers started coding everything in Python, HTML, and CSS, implementing that logic into the software processes. Additionally, they created an administrative panel to manage the software’s backend.

What is the team composition?

We work with Sasanka (Project Manager), two backend engineers, and two frontend engineers.

How did you come to work with Capital Numbers?

I found Capital Numbers through online research. I discovered that they were extremely thorough, and they had the ability to understand the nature of the project.

They went in depth with all of the project’s intricacies, and they asked us a lot of great questions that allowed us to develop a great logic behind the product. This was possible due to their past experience working with fintech companies, which helped us a lot as well.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent somewhere between $25,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

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

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Capital Numbers successfully finished the first version of our software, and we’re currently testing it. Additionally, we’re already starting to add new features to it for future versions. The people on our team who have tested it have given us really good feedback about it.

How did Capital Numbers perform from a project management standpoint?

Scheduling-wise, Capital Numbers has been absolutely incredible. Even when there have been schedule changes, they’ve maintained strong time management. We’ve added features on the go, but they’ve been able to estimate how long those requirements would take accurately, and they’ve stuck to that timeline.

As with any other development project, there have been some bugs. However, Capital Numbers’ ability to identify the bugs and fix them really makes them stand out from the rest. Most issues have been addressed within 24 hours.

Capital Numbers’ communication is also very strong. We communicate through Google Meets, WhatsApp, and Slack, and they use a project management tool on their end. Overall, Sasanka and his team have worked very hard on this project, and we look forward to keeping working with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Capital Numbers’ best quality is their ability to dig deep into the projects to build them using the right technologies. Now, we have a very strong product, and we’re very excited about its upcoming launch.

From the beginning, Sasanka has been a key player in this project, but the whole team has worked really hard to understand the problem on hand in detail and meet the deadlines.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although no one is perfect, and I’m sure that there are some things they could improve, nothing particularly comes to mind. So far, it has been a really great experience.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Take the time to go through your entire project and scope definition, and understand, from your end, what you’re trying to build in detail. Having everything defined clearly will help you a lot.
