Chakor

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am CEO. We are building an online marketplace to connect underutilized agricultural capital and skills (equipment and operators) with the aging farm owners. Our software connects, assists in communication, scheduling, workflow capture, and payments.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Chakor built our MVP mobile application for Android and Google using Bubble. The goal was to develop a low friction registration for potential users, then to provide matchmaking based on their criteria such as geolocation search and type of equipment. Once matched, there is an online chat allowing potential matches to chat, send documents and provide a final quotation including our fee's. Once hired a workflow is established for the service provider to check into a job, potentially add a change order including more money. Finally, they need to check out of a job providing pictures or documents for completion. This is all connected to Stripe for auto payments as well. So once complete, autopayment takes place.

SOLUTION

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

I interviewed 4 potential vendor's some in the states, some in S Asia. Chakor stood out as they were the only company with a reasonable price that also asked good questions. They truly wanted to understand the product before providing a price and getting me in the door. I was very confident they understood my not so great specifications and could execute after interviewing....then their price came in at a very competitive rate and was a no brainer for me to go with them.

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

I provided a rough figma of the app screens for a specification. They were to deliver a working app on Android and iOS using the bubble framework. Technical needs we had were integration of google and stripe api's. Challenge with matchmaking utilized gps. All of this completed in 6 to 8 weeks.

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

I had one full time individual from their team. He reached out to others if necessary, but basically handled is all himself as a bubble developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I had some specification adjustments along the way so project ended up closer to 10 weeks, but Chakor released it successfully meeting all of my original needs plus my specification changes. It was fully released on Android and iOS successfully.

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

We used slack heavily. For bugs/issues list we used notion. Chakor was open and willing to use tools that worked for me.

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

They ability to communicate clearly, truly understand the entire scope of the project and to execute well.

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

We had some issues getting the app on iOS due to what we believe was using a bubble domain instead of a domain associated with my company. Once we did this, apple accepted.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and director of GuitarBro, an art, music, and dance performance school for kids.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Chakor?

We needed help with custom software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Chakor has helped us design and develop our entire LMS from scratch using Bubble.io, a no-code development platform. Initially, I provided them with a complete product requirements document I had written, and they developed the product for me based on those requirements. With this platform, we can manage our classes, billing, and schedules, and we can keep track of everything.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with three full-stack developers from Chakor. Additionally, the founder has managed the project.

How did you come to work with Chakor?

I found them online through a marketplace. We had a couple of calls and discussed the entire requirements, after which we decided to move forward with them.

How much have you invested in them?

We've spent more than $10,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in January 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The core metric for our engagement’s success is Chakor’s turnaround time; we’re pleased by how fast they can develop and deliver. We’ve also tracked the number of iterations and bugs. So far, we’ve had no critical bugs in our LMS; we’ve only had small bugs in areas we didn’t anticipate.

How did Chakor perform from a project management standpoint?

Chakor’s project management is good, and they’ve been very responsive. We use Slack for regular communication and Zoom for our stand-up and weekly meetings. Moreover, we use Notion for task management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The fact that Chakor is a certified Bubble.io developer is outstanding. There are very few Bubble.io experts in Asia; a year ago, there were only five of them. Thus, Chakor has a unique capability, which is great. When there are few experts in a particular field, people don’t expect high-quality work because they don’t have many competitors. However, Chakor’s work is also very good.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be good if they could hire a design expert in-house.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Evaluate the platform properly. Bubble.io is a very different technology, so anyone that wants to work with it should definitely evaluate it thoroughly.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Topbeat, a company located in India offering music-related education services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Chakor?

We required Chakor’s software development services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Chakor helped us develop our platform from scratch using Bubble.io. It has three different panels: a student panel, a teachers panel, and an administration panel. Using this platform, we can manage all of our courses, check if students join on time, mark attendance, share their curriculum, manage cancellations, and note absenteeism. Currently, Chakor handles the platform’s maintenance and hosting, and they’re in charge of making the updates necessary.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with three people from Chakor: the founder, the lead developer, and another developer.

How did you come to work with Chakor?

I found them on Bubble.io. They’re a certified service provider listed on their platform.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent approximately $25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the engagement in January 2022 and completed the project around mid-April 2022. Still, the partnership is ongoing because we do occasional work together.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The software built by Chakor has helped us increase our business efficiency. We’ve been able to decrease the number of student cancellations by 50% and teacher cancellations by 100%. Additionally, our revenue has increased by nearly 20% after correcting a lot of data leakage we had. Now, our processes are automated, and we know when a subscription is due.

How did Chakor perform from a project management standpoint?

Chakor has been mostly on time. Although some small features have been delayed, their deliverables have been timely. We use Notion for project management and Slack and Zoom for communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Chakor’s customer service and fast response time are impressive. Their team is very open to feedback and promptly addresses any issues that arise.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be great if Chakor offered more structured project management.

Any advice for potential customers?

Do a pilot trial and check if your budget suits the project. If you’re building an MVP, you should definitely go with Chakor.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO of Masta Analytics Private Limited, a simulation-based high-tech company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Chakor?

I hired Chakor to build a mobile and web application for my company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, I briefed Chakor on the objective of the application, and then their team helped me build the documentation. I gave them user requirements, and they did the app's wireframes and user journey. I also provided some basic UI elements for them to work on, and they added their touch.

Regarding technologies, we're using Bubble to develop the Android and iOS platforms. The project's first phase is complete and has already been deployed to the application stores.

Currently, they maintain the app, fix bugs, and do upgrades.

What is the team composition?

They assigned me two developers to the project; one works on the mobile application for the end user, and the other works on the backend and administration dashboard. Also, one of their co-founders helps with managing the team as well.

How did you come to work with Chakor?

I found them through a forum on bubble.io, but a friend also recommended them to me.

How much have you invested with them?

Around $20,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the partnership in March 2022, and it is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I've had good app downloads. Also, regarding the application, I've had good ratings and comments from my customers in the last couple of months.

How did Chakor perform from a project management standpoint?

They've met all my deadlines and stayed within the budget. Regarding tools, we use Asana for project management and communicate mostly through Slack, but we also use WhatsApp, Zoom, and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They understand what I'm trying to achieve in terms of the technology and the business side, which is great for me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They can improve their communication. When the developers have trouble, I wish they would tell me or ask for advice instead of trying to work independently.

Any advice for potential customers?

Communicate with them frequently to ensure they will deliver the project within the agreed timeline and with the features you want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner and lead developer at Osborne Solutions. We are a Bubble development agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Chakor?

We needed a company that could help us build mobile apps using Bubble. We were trying to build custom WebView containers to hold our clients' apps and put them on the App Store, but some of our clients have custom code, so we can't use the standard services that exist for Bubble. We needed an agency that understood Bubble and the coding language for Xcode and Android.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Chakor to build a WebView native app that would allow us to run the web app on native devices, Android, and iOS. We needed the app to have custom code to allow users to share links from anywhere in the app. The app would then translate that link into something Bubble could understand and store.

What is the team composition?

I worked with three people from Chakor.

How did you come to work with Chakor?

Chakor reached out to me last year when they were setting up their agency for Bubble coaching sessions for their team. We stayed in touch because it seemed like they had the capabilities to help me with my projects.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent around €2,200 (Approximately $2,200 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March 2022–May 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The deliverables were quite simple, so the measure of the success of the project was whether the functionalities and the specification sheet were fully working and bug-free. Chakor was able to deliver the functionality exactly how the client asked for, which made this project a success.

How did Chakor perform from a project management standpoint?

Chakor performed well in terms of project management. They created a specific channel for each project we did. They were quick to reply and provide updates throughout the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was most impressed with Chakor’s resourcefulness and out-of-the-box approach. They were regularly going to StackOverflow or resources on the Internet to read guides and tutorials and try to research unique solutions to our problems themselves.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their internet connection speed was a bit slow when we first started working together, which affected our online meetings a bit. They’ve since upgraded their internet connection.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Try to communicate openly with them, push them to be imaginative, and give them the freedom to do research and come up with their own solutions.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a healthcare marketplace.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Chakor?

We needed someone to build a true app for our product MVP.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Chakor to build our product MVP and fully develop its infrastructure through a no-code platform called Bubble.

Some of the core features they incorporated are a Google geo-location functionality, Stripe payment integration, a shift creation process, and an internal messaging system.

What is the team composition?

We mainly interfaced with the owners, and had a full-time developer on board for 40 hours a week.

How did you come to work with Chakor?

I came across Chakor through Bubble’s website, as they were listed as one of the companies they partner with.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested about $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October 2021–January 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Chakor helped us launch our platform, and we went from having zero customers, to engaging with 1,000 members on our platform.

How did Chakor perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed well from a project management perspective and were able to accomplish our projects within the given time frame.

We typically communicated through Slack, Google Meet, and the phone.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with their honesty, quality of their skills, and ability to implement my requirements accurately.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We were able to work out all the issues we had, so I don’t have any constructive feedback.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would advise you to communicate your expectations clearly and ensure you’re consistently aware of what you want them to work on.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm an executive at TheKedua.com, a gigs mobile app.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Chakor?

I hired Chakor to develop our platform, which is a directory of income opportunities. 

My company is trying to solve the issue of unemployment. We believe that many new kinds of jobs are being created in the digital era. I gather different companies’ information, details, and any platforms that would allow users to earn income. I put them all under the Thekedua.com platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Chakor rebuilt our app from scratch. We had previously engaged another freelancer to develop the app, but it took that person quite a while, and he eventually abandoned the project.

All the ideas, designs, and concepts came from me, and Chakor focused on handling the app's development.

We already had a database of around 9,000 users. Chakor redesigned the architecture of the database and uploaded all these existing 9,000 users from the old app to the new app.

What is the team composition?

My main contact person was the junior developer who worked with us throughout the two-month tenure.

How did you come to work with Chakor?

I found them via Google search.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $3,500 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January–March 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app is high quality, and the technology is great — we haven't found any bugs.

In terms of the core features, the frontend has a simple design in which the user can scroll all the site income opportunities. When they click on any job opportunities, they are directed to an external page.

We also have an in-app advertisement feature to gain additional revenue from other advertisers.

Chakor also built a user verification functionality where people can insert any emails or mobile numbers to verify them.

How did Chakor perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management was great; they completed all the app's key functionalities within 12 days, way ahead of the deadline. For the remaining days, we only focused on the cosmetic part of the app.

For communication, we used Airtable to manage our requests, the project's status, timelines, and features of each element of the app. We also used Slack and Zoom calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism and competitiveness in terms of pricing are outstanding. They also overdeliver on whatever they promise.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I got what I paid for, but maybe they could've another headquarter in Malaysia so that I can have in-person meetings with them.

Any advice for potential customers?

Know what you want upfront to help speed up the process. Also, be clear with how much you are willing to spend.
