Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

DEVDEC handled the project from technical planning through deployment. They first evaluated our existing software architecture and worked closely with our internal team to understand how biosecurity data was collected across farms. Their team designed and developed AI models capable of analyzing health records, visitor logs, environmental conditions, livestock movement data, and operational events to identify disease risk patterns before they became larger operational issues. They also created livestock monitoring dashboards that presented health trends, compliance history, and predictive insights in an interface that was easy for producers and operations managers to interpret. The engineering team built secure APIs that connected the new intelligence layer with our existing platform while maintaining strong performance and reliability. The frontend dashboards were developed using React, while the backend services were built with Python, FastAPI, and Node.js where appropriate. They implemented AI workflows using TensorFlow, supported data processing with PostgreSQL, and deployed the platform on AWS using Docker and Kubernetes for scalable infrastructure. Additional deliverables included automated reporting, role-based user permissions, system documentation, monitoring tools, testing, production deployment, and post-launch support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The completed platform gave our customers a much clearer understanding of potential disease risks before they developed into larger operational problems. Farm managers gained access to predictive dashboards that highlighted emerging trends rather than simply displaying historical information. Our support team also benefited from having centralized operational insights, making customer conversations more informed and proactive. Internal reporting became much faster because information that previously required multiple manual reviews was available through automated dashboards. The AI-driven recommendations gave producers greater confidence when making operational decisions, while the improved monitoring tools strengthened the overall value of our biosecurity platform. The new capabilities also became an important part of conversations with prospective customers evaluating Farm Health Guardian.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was one of the strongest parts of working with DEVDEC. Every sprint started with clearly defined objectives, and progress was always transparent. Weekly meetings focused on demonstrations rather than lengthy status updates, which allowed us to see tangible progress throughout development. Whenever our internal team identified new requirements based on customer feedback, DEVDEC carefully evaluated the impact, proposed practical solutions, and adjusted priorities without creating unnecessary delays. Communication remained consistent throughout the engagement, and technical discussions were always explained in language our business stakeholders could understand. Deliverables were completed according to the agreed roadmap, and the rollout into production was handled smoothly with careful planning to minimize disruption for existing users.

What was your primary form of communication with DevDec?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed me most was DevDec's ability to combine AI expertise with practical software engineering. They never introduced technology simply because it was fashionable, they focused on building solutions that genuinely supported our business objectives and our customers' day-to-day operations. Their developers took time to understand livestock biosecurity, disease prevention workflows, and the realities of agricultural operations before proposing technical solutions. That level of business understanding made the final product feel like a natural extension of our platform rather than a collection of disconnected features. The quality of their architecture, clean codebase, and long-term scalability also stood out. Every technical decision seemed to be made with future expansion in mind.

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

The engagement exceeded our expectations. If I had one suggestion, it would be to provide a few additional knowledge-transfer workshops for non-technical team members earlier in the implementation process. While the documentation and training sessions at the end were excellent, introducing some of that material during development would have helped our customer-facing teams become familiar with the new AI capabilities sooner. That said, the collaboration was extremely positive, and I would confidently work with DEVDEC again for future platform enhancements.

I am the Growth Leader of Tre'dish

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

The Canadian grocery system wasn't designed for households. It was designed for intermediaries. Every layer between a farmer and your kitchen adds cost, and Canadian families have been absorbing that cost for decades without knowing it. Tre'dish was built to fix the layer most companies won't touch. By sourcing directly from suppliers and removing the intermediaries that inflate prices, we deliver high-quality groceries at costs that are genuinely, verifiably lower than traditional grocery. No loyalty points. No fine print. Transparent pricing you can see in the app. We're building a platform that uses AI to remove the cognitive load of feeding your family well, within a budget that actually works. The infrastructure we've built in southern Ontario is designed to scale, the same model, the same savings, city by city across North America. If you're a household tired of the weekly grocery math, we built this for you. If you're an investor or operator who believes the grocery supply chain is one of the last major consumer systems due for a real rebuild, this is that company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire DevDec to accomplish?

• At Tre'dish, we're rebuilding how families access groceries by creating a direct-to-consumer supply chain that removes unnecessary intermediaries. We needed a technology partner capable of turning a complex operational model into a seamless digital experience. We hired DEVDEC to develop a subscription-based platform that would allow customers to manage grocery memberships, place recurring orders, view pricing transparently, and interact with personalized recommendations. We also wanted a mobile application and customer portal that could support future AI-driven shopping experiences while remaining simple and intuitive for everyday users. Our objective was not simply to launch software but to build a scalable digital foundation capable of supporting our long-term growth plans across multiple cities.

Their experience with React, React Native, Node.js, API integrations, cloud infrastructure, and scalable platform architecture allowed them to approach the project holistically rather than treating each component as a separate engagement. Most importantly, they approached the relationship like partners invested in our success rather than vendors simply completing tasks.

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

If I had to identify one area for improvement, it would be providing more formal documentation during certain phases of the project. While communication was strong and knowledge transfer sessions were helpful, additional technical documentation delivered earlier in the process would have made internal onboarding easier for some of our team members. That said, whenever we requested clarification or additional materials, DEVDEC responded promptly and addressed our concerns. I would gladly work with them again and would recommend them to organizations looking to build scalable subscription platforms, mobile applications, or customer-facing digital products. Their combination of technical capability, business understanding, and commitment to partnership made them a valuable contributor to Tre'dish's growth journey.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire DevDec to accomplish?

• we had an app already in the works but it just wasn’t going well. things were broken, progress was slow, and it didn’t feel solid. so we brought in DevDec to help us fix it up and make it something we’d actually be proud to launch. we needed both android + ios ready to go.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

i basically gave them a list of all the stuff that needed fixing  bugs, slow loading, broken parts, ui issues. They looked at our flutter code and said yeah we can work with this.
What’s cool is they didn’t just do what we asked  they came up with better ideas too. fixed stuff we didn’t even notice, improved the payment stuff, cleaned up the design and just made the whole thing smoother and better to use. They really owned it like it was their own project. Now we’re already talking about working with them again. They’re kinda our tech team now.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We’re almost ready to launch the app on app store + play store. what we have now is way better than what we started with. like it’s faster, more stable, actually looks good. What surprised me most is they worked with our old code instead of starting over, which saved us time and money. Most devs don’t wanna do that. We tested it internally and yeah, it works great. Can’t wait to hear what users think when it’s live.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

really smooth. they used jira to track stuff and kept us updated every week without us having to ask. clear reports, timelines, and if something came up they handled it.
We talked on slack and email mostly, and if something needed more explaining we jumped on a call. super easy to work with.

What was your primary form of communication with DevDec?

Email or Messaging App

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

they actually care. not just trying to finish and move on. they asked good questions, shared smart ideas, and you could tell they wanted the app to be great. Also always around when we needed them. That alone makes them better than 90% of devs out there.

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

nah nothing major really. If i had to say something maybe a little more docs at the end would’ve helped, but overall they were great. We’d def work with them again.
