BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm an executive at Cohart. Cohart is a social marketplace that combines the human connection of an art buying experience with the scale, reach, and ease of mobile ecommerce.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired CoderPush to build the overall solution to support the product, which included:

• Building our mobile app (in flutter)
• Building our web app (next.js)
• Building APIs necessary to support our apps
• Supporting and maintaining our infrastructure as code

SOLUTION

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

We wanted to keep the team in Vietnam, because of proximity to one of our founders, and because of cost benefits. We had a previous relationship with CoderPush and that helped in making the decision to move forward with them.

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

• Building our mobile app (in flutter)
• Building our web app (next.js)
• Building APIs necessary to support our apps (Node.js)
• Supporting and maintaining our infrastructure as code (Terraform) We follow a scrum-based development model and deliver code to production every 2 weeks.

7 people

• 1 - Project Manager
• 1 - Tech Lead
• 1 - Mobile developer
• 2 - Web Developers
• 1 - Backend developer
• 1 - QA

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall, the team is very dedicated and consists of smart people that are eager to learn and grow. Their team was able to rewrite the app from scratch in 3 months - with on-schedule delivery, with the new app increasing our NPS score by 50%.

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

We use Jira for project management. Overall, I think the team could do better at adopting scrum and agile practices, but they're getting better at it.

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

The talent they've been able to hire is impressive.

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

I think they can get better at agile practices, and improve product delivery by increasing overall testing.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO and cofounder of Goplan, an project management ecosystem specialised for architects and engineers. We are based in Switzerland

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

As we were in the early stages of development, we needed to move faster and better. We had four months to complete the development of this complex data structure. CoderPush was hired to help develop the final step and provide good coding expertise for good scalability and security.

SOLUTION

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

The first thing I want to say is that I really support their innovative business model to teach people how to code and to get them to the next level by providing them with freelancing contracts. For us, the decisive factor is. At CoderPush, every developer works the same way. As a result, if you need to scale up the team, you won't waste time training them

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

The Goplan platform was developed in teamwork with me during the project phase. We work as a team with two-week sprints. Each PR is paired reviewed to ensure good quality and scope of stories. They always bring ideas on how to improve on current stories. The final product is a complete project management platform that manages documents, tasks, pdf annotations, communication, and photo maps. This is all done within a design office's specialized workflow.

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

2 developers: 1 backend rails developer 1 frontend Vue Developer Supervised by 1 project manager at CoderPush as a tech-lead advisor and milestones follow-up with me

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All features are well tested and robust, so we are able to launch the product on time. Considering the variety of features that needed to be implemented, this was a challenging project. As long as the quality of their team remains top tier, Goplan will continue to work with CoderPush.

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

I was thrilled by their project management style. From day 1, they suggested some good practices they wanted to implement for us, which helped us speed up our development and deployment stability immediately.

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

As I mentioned earlier. I really like their vision of bootcamp + freelance agency. All developers and managers thrive on the success of their clients, and all have the same positive attitude and energy. While it may seem obvious, hard work is required to achieve this level of team building.

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

Honestly, I don't see much room for improvement. We discussed all the improvements with the team, and they took care of them almost immediately. CoderPush is like having your own office team. It is almost impossible to tell the difference. There is just a void of being able to grab coffee with them :)

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the clinical director of a chiropractic and holistic medical clinic.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CoderPush?

We wanted to create an app that could change children's posture by forcing them to sit up straight whenever the phone detects that it’s being held at a bad angle.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CoderPush built an app for iOS and Android from scratch. They enabled the features we wanted and left it open to add more features to it along the way.

What is the team composition?

I worked with 2–3 programmers from their team.

How did you come to work with CoderPush?

A trustworthy friend referred them to me, and I also heard from other people that they were good. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $5,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked from November 2020–April 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re about to launch the app, so we don’t have any metrics. I can say that everything went great, their team was on top of any situation that arose, and they made the process super simple.

How did CoderPush perform from a project management standpoint?

They were excellent. Every time we had a question, they’d take care of it right up. It was an attentive and understanding process. We communicated through WhatsApp, email, and conference calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s challenging to find a provider with their level in Vietnam, and they’re fantastic; CoderPush does what they say they’re going to do and completes the job efficiently. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — they got things done even before I asked them to do them.

Any advice for potential customers?

Have your requirements lined out so they can work efficiently.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of the company, Native Projex. Our mission is to build technology products that leave a positive imprint on humanity. We tackle difficult consumer problems with ambitious concepts.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CoderPush?

Our project, Favs, was on our 2nd major prototype and with every other release, the app would break leaving users unable to test new features. Each deployment would cost us several days of downtime and missed opportunity with beta testers.

In addition, we weren't deploying as frequently as needed doubling the initial estimates of our product roadmap.

What were your goals for this project?

I'm a big believer in building foundation to enable velocity. We had neither a strong foundation nor velocity.

So the goals for the first phase were:

1. Stabilize our production and staging environments

2. Implement continuous delivery methodologies including continuous deployment and automated testing

3. Deploy our 2nd major version of our prototype through daily deployments

SOLUTION

How did you select CoderPush?

I met Harley as he came highly recommended from a friend so we sat down and we discussed the challenges. As I spoke about the challenges, Harley listened.

One thing I appreciated is that Harley didn't oversell and tell me they could fix everything. He said he would help get us organized, understand our architecture and processes, and make recommendations once he got a better understanding.

Describe the project in detail.

By month 1, Harley had stabilized our environment and began implementing continuous delivery within our team. By month 2, the my engineers were deploying updates daily and by month 3 we had automated testing.

As a result, we were able to do rapid development and prototyping and quickly discover the gaps in our app and the adjustments we need to make with the app.

As a result, I had Harley bring on 2 more engineers to help us execute on a bigger roadmap for prototype version 3 including re-architecting to a full iOS app vs the web app we originally envisioned.

What was the team composition?

Initially it was Harley assessing, fixing environment issues, then coaching our engineers, fixing our processes and tools.

Eventually we added three more Coderpush engineers join us including Long the co-founder to deliver on the product roadmap.

The composition was one front-end engineer, one full-stack engineer, and Harley and Long stepping in on key trouble areas.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within 3 months, the production environment went from being down every other day to 99.9% uptime. We had automated testing, deployments, code reviews and daily deployments.

We completed prototype 2 and moved on to prototype 3 with a complete re-architecture of the app moving from vue.js and mongo db to react-native and postgres. It has resulted in 20x performance improvement and critical new features for the user.

Most importantly, the vision of what we're building for our users has become clearer and as well as the path to get there.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication is one of the things I value most about Coderpush. Everyone I engage with speaks English well which is vital when discussing complex engineering concepts in a rapid prototyping environment.

In addition, everyone was accessible both during covid when teams had to be mobile and now that we are part time in the office. Coderpush is also an advocate of using the latest tools to stay connected and updated, while being efficient through delivery.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The accountability that Coderpush team takes in ensuring they provide a quality product and service. They are open to feedback and make adjustments quickly, it's in their DNA to want to grow, constantly learn, and over deliver.

I'm on threads where articles, new approaches, and feedback is shared often. It's invigorating. I don't consider Coderpush as a vendor, we are a team.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I wish I had more time with Harley and Long to discuss strategy and long-term planning. Unfortunately, for me (and unsurprisingly), Coderpush is growing in demand.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a chain of Mandarin language schools. We’re a traditional school and not a tech startup, but we decided to go online. We were severely hit by COVID-19 and the related travel restrictions, which led to the closure of all our schools.

I’m acting as product manager for this enterprise.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CoderPush?

We had an idea of how we wanted to build our online school. It would allow students to book small group classes 24/7, which hadn’t existed for the Mandarin learning market.

We had no experience in the area, so we spent quite a bit of time looking for companies in Vietnam and other countries.

One of the biggest fears I had was that if we didn’t really understand what the supplier was supposed to do, we’d be wide open to making mistakes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CoderPush developed a relatively complex web app that allows teachers and students to log in and manage classes. We’ve worked closely with them, and they guided us along the way.

They chose the entire code stack.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Harley (Founder & Developer), and there were 9–10 people from their team involved. There were also people involved part-time with the AWS setup.

How did you come to work with CoderPush?

I met Harley through a personal contact before starting this project. We received quotes from multiple companies, but I felt that CoderPush was enthusiastic about the project and wanted to develop a successful product.

They had a motivated team, and Harley has a lot of experience.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with CoderPush in May 2020, and they’re continuing to provide support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have 700 active users, and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback. Most feedback will focus on teaching quality, but it’s the system that allows teachers and students to do what they want to do. People can organize small Chinese classes 24/7 without having to follow rigid schedules.

CoderPush set things up for us keeping our future needs in mind. They could’ve done things faster or easier, but that would’ve led to problems for us down the line. I couldn’t have blamed them if they didn’t take this approach because they would’ve just done what we asked them to.

We were under enormous time pressure due to COVID, but CoderPush put a team together very fast. We started literally two days after signing the contract, and the project was finished on time and within budget. I spoke to friends about this project, who were more experienced than me in the field, and they all expected the work to take twice as long. We set an ambitious schedule, and it was fulfilled.

The system is an enabler for selling classes, not the product itself, but we have commented about its innovation. Some of our customers are software programmers, and they’re the ones we’ve gotten the most praise from.

How did CoderPush perform from a project management standpoint?

CoderPush set up a really good reporting system for us, through which we can get data out of the system. We have a lot of control over the platform through the admin panel CoderPush implemented.

CoderPush worked very hard to finish this, and they were always available. We had plenty of calls and discussions on evenings and weekends. When I found a bug or issue, I told them about it, and it got fixed straight away. They gave us honest feedback on our ideas and sometimes stopped us from making certain mistakes.

I was very much kept in the loop and involved with the team. I knew exactly what was going on. They’d produce test versions for us to check, and we’d make comments on how to improve things. The communication was always very good.

CoderPush was incredibly good at adapting as we found out things during the project, and our requirements evolved. Harley and his team felt like a part of our company. Their main aim was to give us a great product. Once we signed the contract, they were really on our side.

Their team is excellent at documentation. We have a GitHub project where we can create issue tickets. They have a structured approach to creating tasks and making updates. We have several updates per week, which are usually small at this point. We also have a Skype chat group, where I can reach them for anything urgent, and I can call them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team takes ownership of the problem, and they try to resolve it. They come up with good ideas and communicate them well. They’re also a really happy team, and I enjoy working with them.

There’s a great work atmosphere there. The pandemic hasn’t been a very positive time for my team, but it’s been a joy to work with CoderPush. They criticize each other when needed, but it’s always done with a positive attitude. I can see that they enjoy building things, and they get enthusiastic when something works.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There are parts I would’ve designed differently, given what I know now, but that’s on us. We gave them the requirements.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Clients should trust them. I’ve come to trust them blindly now.

If they make a suggestion, it should be taken seriously. From my experience, they really try to help. Some clients may be more tech-savvy, so they’ll be talking at a different level. I wasn’t particularly tech-savvy in the beginning.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-CEO of Joe. We build technology currently only harnessed by big corporations and make it available to small business owners. We’ve built the largest loyalty program in coffee and are elevating the coffee industry through regenerative coerce principles.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CoderPush?

We had them working on our POS and consumer app and merchant manager for shop tools.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

From design work to Flutter engineers to full-stack engineers, CoderPush was an integral part of our success at Joe. They built out our POS and supported our consumer app refresh. The features included a network loyalty program and a robust POS system that is integrated with our mobile ordering consumer app.

What is the team composition?

Over the entire period, around 10 teammates from CoderPush were assigned to our project.

How did you come to work with CoderPush?

Our former CTO was referred to CoderPush, and we began using their services through him. We chose CoderPush over other options because they had a better offering that was flexible and could scale up or down to meet our business needs. The engineers they had were all well vetted and provided a ton of great value.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $300,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March 2020–September 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We grew the business 10x in gross monthly volume during the time we engaged with CoderPush.

How did CoderPush perform from a project management standpoint?

CoderPush was great and very communicative. If there was ever an issue with anything, they worked diligently to resolve the issue. We faced challenges with time zone communication, and key engineers would leave, and we had to find replacements, which they handled. Sometimes the times we could connect made it hard to be efficient.

They set meetings, proposed new solutions, and took a lot of the burden off our shoulders. Our primary form of communication was email, Google Hangouts, and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

CoderPush had a great team that was very communicative and responsive to our needs.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I can come up with.

• Email or Messaging App

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

They have incredible culture thanks to the great founders - it is not easy to scale a remote team and continue to keep everyone engaged. They have also amassed a formidable pool of English-proficient engineers, allowing them to compete on a global scale.

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

More cross-collaboration so we can grow even faster together
