MindInventory

BACKGROUND

Please describe your organization.

We're an online customer acquisition and marketing company. We design, develop, and produce products that target the apparel market through different brands and divisions. JustFab and ShoeDazzle primarily produce women's shoes, while Fabletics is focused on athletics-wear. We have another division called FabKids, which produces apparel and shoes for kids. We design and manufacture all of our products in-house, and we handle all of our customer acquisition marketing.

What is your position?

I am the vice president of engineering.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What business challenge were you trying to address with Mindinventory Technologies?

We have many different technology teams within the company. Our retail division, warehouse management, and global operations teams use AngularJS and Node.js for their platforms. We needed to leverage additional development resources. Some of the technologies that we work with are still relatively new. Finding people with skills within them was a challenge.

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their involvement.

Mindinventory Technologies has supplemented our development plans and provided continuous work on these projects.

We plan to engage a full team of 15 developers from Mindinventory. They're flexible in terms of communication. If we want to engage solely with a project manager, we can, but we can also interface directly with developers. We have a project management team in-house and decided to approach their engineers directly.

How did you come to work with Mindinventory Technologies?

We found them through Google searches. We were already working with other offshore development teams in India, but they did not have the skillsets that we required. We had a relative level of comfort in hiring another team in the same location. Mindinventory was the first and only company that responded to our request for proposal.

What is the status of this engagement?

We have an ongoing relationship. We started working with Mindinventory Technologies three months ago.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?

We operate an agile environment and have weekly sprints. So far, Mindinventory Technologies has been excellent in meeting their deadlines. They've stayed within schedule 100% of the time.

We haven't encountered any defects that would be outside the norm. The engineering process is complicated and there will always be issues, but their defect rate is far from alarming.

How did Mindinventory Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Jira for project management and HipChat for communication. When we need to have video conferences, we use Skype.

What distinguishes Mindinventory Technologies from other providers?

They have a startup mentality by which they're willing to do whatever it takes to help their partners get their tasks done. A lot of the red tape that I've encountered with other Indian firms is not present within Mindinventory Technologies. They're willing to dive in and work alongside us in order to complete the work. We don't need to spend weeks or even months in order to sketch out a full-blown plan. We can give our initial vision and they'll start the work, which is a big win for many of our projects.

Is there anything Mindinventory Technologies could have improved or done differently?

Our relationship is fairly new. There haven't yet been any significant issues to address. Their team is very responsive to the feedback we give regarding minor items like communication and reports. As an example, we asked them to send us a daily email containing what was accomplished within the team. They were open to that kind of request.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your organization.

I work for an Australian-based company, and our main purpose is to develop mobile applications. Our first app is focused on the Nepalese market. I am originally from Nepal, as is my partner.

What is your position?

I am the founder and CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What business challenge were you trying to address with Mindinventory Technologies?

We needed to develop our first mobile app. We had the idea but didn't have the technical expertise to build it. We decided we would find a partner but, because we were sensitive to cost, we went ahead and looked for an outsourced option.

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their involvement.

We already had a website, but we contacted Mindinventory because we had to build a mobile application. It's for both Android and iOS devices. For the work they did, I had a dedicated project manager, then there was a UI/UX [user interface/user experience] designer, one dedicated Android developer, one dedicated iOS developer, a couple of QA [quality assurance] specialists, and an account manager.

How did you come to work with Mindinventory Technologies?

We identified them online. We only approached a handful of different companies to bid on the project. Once we began to interact with each of them, it became clear that Mindinventory was the most experienced and the most responsive.

Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?

We invested close to $7,000 or $8,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted one and a half to two months. It's over now, but we'll probably be using them again soon for some enhancements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?

We just went live. We did a public launch of the app last week, and we're getting a good response. In a week's time, including both Android and iOS, we've got close to 800 downloads. We didn't have any benchmarks, but that's a good start for us. It's more than what we expected, so we're getting a good response from the market.

We've got some good ratings and reviews on Google Play as well, and a couple in the App Store. Some people have also contacted us directly through the Contact Us section of the mobile app as well. The holidays are starting in Nepal right now, so we expect a slower period for a couple of weeks, but the launch has definitely been better than we expected.

When dealing with other developers in India, I've noticed that the designer may not be that good. However, the designer that Mindinventory assigned to us was good. I'm happy with the overall design of the app.

How did Mindinventory Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

I was happy with the project manager who was assigned. He was very responsive and accessible via Skype, phone call, WhatsApp, or message, or whatever. We didn't use any specific project management tools. The project manager understood our requirements, and he responded well. If he had questions, he asked them rather than making assumptions.

The project was completed within the specified budget. We obviously had to increase our budget, but that was purely because we had to increase the scope of work. It was completed within the timeframe, and the changes we had to make were done within that deadline. Overall, we're happy with how the project was managed.

The contract we signed before beginning the project had the scope of work and specifications outlined, and that was our main reference point. Any change request was discussed with the account manager, to determine if it was a deviation from the scope of work. We would arrive at a mutual understanding on whether we needed to pay extra for changes.

What distinguishes Mindinventory Technologies from other providers?

I've used developers in the past, but I wasn't too happy with them for two main reasons. It comes back to how reasonable you are in your change request. Once you've got the scoping document, it becomes a huge problem when you've got a small deviation, but they charge you for that as well. In that sense, Mindinventory was accommodating.

Also, the project manager was very responsive, so there weren't any delays when I asked for something to be fixed or changed. Also, just the professional behavior around how to manage the scope of the project. I think these two things were commendable, which I didn't find very easy with the other developers.

The initial wireframe they came up with was a good starting point for us. It was already in a very good stage, and we just had to build it out from there. I didn't find that skill in the other developers I've worked with.

Is there anything Mindinventory Technologies could have improved or done differently?

One thing, which is a very general comment and is true for any developers based out of India, is more on the grammar side of things. We have to spend a lot of time writing the content because we know that, with Indian developers, the grammar may not be correct. That's the only area of improvement, and that's true for any developer in India. It's about making sure that the content is exactly what you want it to be in the app.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your organization.

I'm a self-employed electronics engineer in the Caribbean.

What is your position?

I am the owner.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What business challenge were you trying to address with Mindinventory Technologies?

I wanted to create an app for advertising. Here in the islands, most people just publish on flyers. I wanted to develop a more environmentally friendly way of doing it. Also, by having the ads on an app, the information would always be current.

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their involvement.

The development was for iOS and Android. I just went to them with a partial idea, and they took care of everything. They helped me figure out the scope and requirements. They supplied a project manager to help coordinate things. I participated in a Skype call with three or four of their people. As I explained what I wanted, they were giving their input. For each suggestion they had, they gave two or three options I could choose from and provided examples. They worked in a collaborative way, which was good for me. I had an idea of what I wanted, but I didn't know the specifics. It was a situation where you don't know what you want until you see it.

I was in correspondence with about four or five members of their team the whole time. The developer who was responsible for the Android version would send me his work to get my approval, and we would discuss back and forth how it was working, and whether I had any questions. Whenever I sent a message or had a question, they replied right away. Their time is nine and a half hours different from me, but we didn't have any communication problems. Even if I sent a question at 12 o'clock my time, which would be 9:30 their time, they replied within five or 10 minutes.

I had another project that I put out for tender, and I had about 40 companies trying to do it. However, they didn't get the whole scope of what I wanted to accomplish. When I went back to Mindinventory, they just came right out and gave me four or five designs. There were a few things that I didn't know were needed, and they put it all together for me.

How did you come to work with Mindinventory Technologies?

I posted a job on Elance, and I selected 15 companies based on their profiles. I spoke with several of the agencies that submitted bids, but most of them just didn't understand what I wanted. Mindinventory just started giving me information on what they could do with my idea as I talk to them, so that's why I selected them.

Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?

I've invested about $10,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

They're actually doing another project for me right now, as we speak. We just started this one about a week ago.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?

Because of where I live in the Caribbean, everything I do is only for local use, not globally. My country is small, and I can find out from statistics here in the business community. I've not yet gathered any statistics at this time.

How did Mindinventory Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

They laid out about five or six steps, target points that they would meet. They were ahead of schedule on every task I assigned to them by a day or two. We communicated using Skype, email, and telephone and it seemed to work very well.

What distinguishes Mindinventory Technologies from other providers?

I can't say what is special as I've never used any other company like them. What I like is that Mindinventory talks to me like family, other than the fact that they call me "Sir." They don't treat me like a client. They just treat me as if I'm one of them. Anytime I pick up the phone and call someone, they are there. I can send a message to the owner [Mehul Rajput] at any hour, day or night, and he replies very quickly. One time, I wanted something changed, so I sent them a message. They got it changed in the App Store and Google Play Store, and they didn't charge anything for it. That's the level of customer service that they bring to the table.

Is there anything Mindinventory Technologies could have improved or done differently?

To me, they are on top of their game. I don't see any faults. They deliver on time, and they give me a fair price. Even if I'm a little late making a payment to them, they continue with the project and wait for the funds. The project never was stopped at any time, not even for payment.

What is your role at the company?

I am the founder and CEO of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What was the business challenge that you were trying to address when you approached Mind Inventory?

I was looking for developers to help me with my web and mobile app development projects. The challenge was to produce a high quality website and mobile app on a limited budget and timescale.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of the project, and can you describe the specific services provided by Mind Inventory?

Mind Inventory provided design, development & project management services. As I am not a tech savvy individual, so it was important that I could trust them with the project management aspect and they did not let me down!

What was your process for selecting them to work with? (How did you find them, and why did you pick them?)

I scanned the internet and several freelance web portals. I wanted to see examples of their work and hear testimonials from several past clients.

From there, the way they handled the initial contact and answered some of my questions was quite impressive and gave me the confidence in their abilities and professionalism.

Can you give us a general estimate of the size of the project in dollar terms or personnel work hours?

The project was between $10,000 and $50,000.

When did the project begin, and when was it completed?

The project began July 2014 and was completed in April 2015.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did they perform in terms of the quality of their work? Are there any relevant stats or metrics you can share?

The quality of their work was excellent. Any issues or bugs were handled promptly.

When working with Mind Inventory, was there anything unique or special about them compared to other partners you may have worked with?

Mind Inventory had a full complement of skills and abilities. No problem we faced was too big or small for them to handle. Their level of communications was first class; they had very quick response times and were always available! Overall they were a very professional group of people.

Looking back on the project do you have any constructive criticism? Is there any area that they could improve or you would do differently?

Nothing worth mentioning. It was a very positive experience.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company.

I run a counseling business, but it’s not limited to just that. I’m interested in connecting with people and supporting them. That often takes the form of therapy, but I’m kind of open to wherever is needed to help. I also post advice and answer questions on my web site: http://elanbenami.com/.

What is your role and responsibilities?

I am the owner and founder.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What was your goal for working with Mindinventory Technologies?

My goal was to make something that I wanted to use because I wanted it to exist. So, that was the goal, and then it was pretty cool to see that other people enjoyed it. 

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their work.

I would mock up designs, but I’m not skilled with that. So, I could tell them what it needs to look like in my head, and they took my ideas and made it look clean.

What was your process for selecting Mindinventory Technologies with which to work?

I interviewed a bunch of app developers on Elance, and I posted the project and described what I needed. There were 40 different companies that I strained through. I initially weeded out the people that sent generic responses that they could have sent to anyone. That just annoys me. It’s a big project that’s going to take a lot of money and time, so I weeded out the ones that were generic.

For the companies that remained, I did a Skype interview, and some people didn’t really understand the concept. Some people understood it, but I didn’t feel any energy around it. I didn’t feel like they were excited about it, and so I weeded those out. Probably the reason I went with Mindinventory was, I talked with Pathik [Shah, project manager at Mindinventory Technologies] who I love working with. His English was great, so he understood what I was saying. Then, he also got where I was going, and not just with what I was saying.

Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you?

I don’t know how to measure their hours but, for me, I was working on the idea in my head for about three months. Then, it was seven months of collaborative work with them. So, all in all, it was probably 10 months of work.

When was the project completed?

The project is ongoing with updates to the app. I’m currently working on another project with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you talk about the results of the initial project?

Yes. I’m very satisfied with the product and app. I really like simplicity in design, and I’m really happy with where we came with that. I’m satisfied with the cost. I hired them again, so I think that’s probably the biggest testimonial.

Do you have any statistics or metrics to track improvement from the project?

I do Google Analytics, and right now I have 43,000 downloads. It’s free to download, but has an app premium option. There’s a way to get premium features without paying for it, which most users opt for. It’s not making a ton of money, but that’s not really the purpose of it. The purpose is more that it gives me a platform to teach something that I’m really passionate about, and connect with other people who like that. So, it’s successful in that regard. It’s more successful on iOS than on Android, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the programming.

Is there anything unique about them that really makes them stand out, compared to other companies?

It’s really about the people, their team stands out for me. The strongest relationship I’ve built is with Pathik. People are what make a business, in my opinion. That really can’t be automated. I really like him as a person. I like working with him, I like the way he thinks professionally. That’s why I tell people about Mindinventory Technologies.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

If you can get really clear on your end goal before you start coding, that’s really helpful. It’s not always possible to do, but I could be better at that myself. With them, I can’t think of anything right now to improve upon.
