The only area I would suggest that needs work is their English in the context of writing content; please note that if you use this company you will need to write and format any content, and to proofread anything written. However considering that the team is located in India and English will not be their first language I consider this a very minor issue. Overall very happy with the team and quality of work.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a director at a pharmacy software company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DianApps?

We hired them for software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DianApps has built our web application. We created the infrastructure and architecture internally, and they've developed the bulk of the app, primarily front- and backend functionality and some integration work. They've also assisted us on the network and server side. 

Initially, we handed the team an overview document with feature and functionality items. From there, they created the functionality, we reviewed it, and we implemented and deployed the app. They've done various iterations of the app, adding different features and functionalities each time. Most of the time, we provide the wireframes. 

The web app's functionalities include patient booking, consent form-filling, and submission. The pharmacy can see the submissions and patient documentation on their calendar for any clinical service they offer. Patients can create their own accounts to access these services and see their results. For example, patients can submit assessments and reviews, and pharmacists receive them directly. 

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 4–5 teammates from DianApps, including Vikash (Co-Founder) and a project manager. 

How did you come to work with DianApps?

They reached out to us, and we gave them an interview. We hired DianApps because they had good software developers, and their pricing was good. 

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $200,000 CAD (approximately $148,000 USD). 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app has been successful in the market, with over 10,000 patients using it to schedule pharmacy services. DianApps has delivered what they promised in terms of functionalities. 

How did DianApps perform from a project management standpoint?

They're good at project management, though it depends on the teammates working on the project. Therefore, we've made sure that we have a good team that delivers on time, so we've been successful in the delivery timeline. 

We use Jira for project management and Slack for communication. Additionally, we have daily meetings to check their progress. Internally, I also log information into a spreadsheet. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I'm most impressed with DianApps' skilled and talented teammates. The quality of their development staff is really good and has surpassed our expectations. Moreover, we appreciate their flexibility in providing us with good development backing; when there's an issue, another developer within DianApps will step in. 

Additionally, their understanding of the project is great. The project manager understands our needs and allocates resources with our priorities in mind. They work with me to ensure that the team meets deadlines. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Since I'm very detailed-oriented, I like to have everything perfect within the app, and I've noticed small mistakes. However, the team fixes these mistakes; they're so small that they're not an issue. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Interview the developers and ensure you can communicate and work well with them. Moreover, assess their skills to ensure they match what you need.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the former technical services manager for a veterinary service provider.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DianApps?

We engaged DianApps to build a web application to help us plan events with our veterinary business and farming clients. We wanted them to build a custom program to accommodate all our needs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, we collaborated to define the project scope and determine the application’s core features and functionality. After a lengthy scoping process, the DianApps team moved to the design phase, where they outlined the application’s look and feel. 

built the application from scratch and customized it using AWS and other tools. Then, we expanded the project scope to include additional features, and the team delivered the final product. 

The final product is a web-based event planning application that incorporates multiple user profiles and features an internal messaging system. It can also be accessed via tablet. Even though they’ve completed the app, we’re currently working on performance testing. In the future, we plan to engage DianApps to create a mobile version of the app for iOS and Android. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve primarily worked with two project leads. 

How did you come to work with DianApps? 

We found DianApps through an internal referral. They worked with our company on a different project, and our team was impressed with their development speed. The previous project also helped solidify their knowledge of the animal health sector, which made us confident in their ability to build the application according to our needs.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $300,000 AUD (approximately $203,000 USD). 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from April 2021–September 2022. We’re still working together on performance testing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

DianApps has executed a successful build and exceeded my navigation and functionality expectations. Our goal is for the app to help manage day-to-day service planning and product positioning, and DianApps has enabled the app to create reports to help drive this initiative. Secondly, we want to ensure that customers find the app acceptable and useful in assisting them with on-farm planning, so we’re looking forward to testing that feature. 

How did DianApps perform from a project management standpoint?

DianApps has followed the project scope and vision very well. The project lead who helped us with the scope was terrific; they had a lot of foresight into our needs and were skilled at troubleshooting. Our development project lead has also been fantastic. They’ve led the development team behind the scenes, and we’ve enjoyed only having to communicate with two points of contact. 

During the development phase, they worked in two-week sprints, which enabled us to perform user acceptance testing (UAT) in between each delivery. It took the team some time to understand the application and its intent, but their speed picked up as they ramped up their knowledge. They beat the overall timeline that we set during the scoping process. Overall, they completed a total of 11 sprints and delivered results more quickly than we expected, which was great.  

They’ve been a very responsive partner, and working with them has been easy. We’ve used Google Sheets and Basecamp to manage the project. Additionally, we’ve used Zoom and WhatsApp to communicate, which has allowed us to overcome time zone issues.

What did you find most impressive about them?

DianApps has two core strengths: market knowledge and speed. Their unique understanding of the intricacies of the animal health sector has helped them identify gaps in our business and data structures. We’ve been impressed by their dedication to providing solutions and making valuable recommendations as issues have arisen. Ultimately, they’ve put their knowledge into practice to build an application that functions according to our specific needs. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Since DianApps built the app so quickly, we didn’t allocate enough resources to perform UAT testing, but that’s not an area for improvement since it was on us.  

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend investing the time to scope the project and determine your application’s functionality. Be diligent and thorough during the scoping phase, and troubleshoot as much as possible. Also, be prepared to put the work in during the development phase because DianApps works very quickly.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work as a Product Analyst for Kunji which is Digital Asset Management Platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We already had our website up & running. We wanted android & ios app made for our website as well. Dianapps was hired to build android & ios app for our business.

SOLUTION

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

We shortlisted multiple vendors in this space and based on the following comparison parameters, we found Dianapps to best suit our requirements. The comparison parameters were:

Ability to develop crypto related functionality.

• Fast delivery of features.
• Good understanding of UX/UI
• Minimum bugs in app
• Reasonable pricing.

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

At first we had series of discovery meeting in which we explained the features & requirements in detail. The product owner of this company, Pankaj, was exceptionally well in picking up our requirements & understanding what we really wanted. He reproduced it down to users stories & list of features which was easy to understand and was all encompassing of our requirements. After this, these users stories took form of tasks which were optimally planned based on various sprints. They were delivered on time.

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

A product owner was assigned to us as a single point of contact between us & Dianapps. He was keen on identifying our requirements and ensuring the features were delivered on time. Apart from this, the bugs were also resolved timely. I also worked with the UI designer of Dianapps. The designs were delivered timely and were precisely what we needed. It was convenient working with him as well. I also worked with the developers of Dianapps for bug resolution.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In less than 4 months the final build of the app was delivered to us. It was pretty impressive to deliver this app in such a small period of time.

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

The product owner had really good grasping power. Communicating requirements to him was very easy & didn't require a lot of effort. Weekly meetings were scheduled where we were given the updates of the app development process. It was good to have that level of transparency. Documented user stories & feature list were shared which acted as a common point of contact for our product team & Dianapps' product team. Sprints were planned well before and we were made part of it to access & review the progress of assignment in JIRA. After successful completion of sprint, a demo was planned where the actual build was shared to test out the product. A feedback form was also shared where our product/testing team could write their feedback/bugs to be resolved.

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

The most impressive thing about this company was timely delivery of features. Delivering the features in timely manner requires the entire team working in harmony & with zest. Dianapps had a pretty impressive team who could manage to pull this off everytime.

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

Final stages of app debugging took more time than usual. I wish if it would have happened timely.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of the company, involved in design, implementation and business development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We had developed the MVP of the app with other developers previously, but were unsatisfied with the support received and changed 2 companies for the same reason. DianApps was engaged to take over the development, implement improvements and bug fixes to make the app fit for launch, and assist with ongoing maintenance and development.

SOLUTION

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

I received references from DianApps and spoke to several of their past clients - all sharing a positive working experience, and professionalism and expressing that they would recommend the company.

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

DianApp's team first reviewed coding handed over from previous teams and assisted with recovering and gathering the information that was not organised well previously. I was then allocated team members for the initial stages, the app was tested and reviewed by them and a list of deliverables was produced, agreed and discussed for Phase 1.0 of the development. The first phase focuses on getting the handed-over app up-to-scratch for launch and ongoing support.

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

I spoke to several members of the team from different levels of management. Including the CEO, product owner, and project manager and was introduced to the QA allocated for our project. I received excellent communication along the way, from a team that is patient and genuinely acts in the client's best interest and for an ongoing relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team has successfully taken-over the project, and worked with me to gain access of all related components. They have troubleshooted several complications in this process, as well as unexpected challenges for the integrity and security of our website. They have assisted with and successfully claimed unused AWS credits, resulting from unused instances that were causing high monthly costs as a result of work by previous developers. I have received a testflight to review features implemented to date, that were functioning as per scope.

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

Communication through email, common messaging apps, and basecamp. Shared work files are used for project information, work-sprint lists and records.

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

They take the time, effort and patience to make sure that everything is explained in leyman terms, and understood by the client. They are responsive, and take pride in their work. The team is professional, skilled, and service-focused. Measurable goals are produced and communicated, also always met within reasonable circumstances.

Problems expressed are always followed-up and resolved, and they are always very responsive. The service received and confidence from this team is something that I have not experienced in my previous developer relationships. They genuinely listen to the client, and deliver.

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

My expectations have been exceeded for the service and technical support received from the team.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted a mobile app to display data from our new air quality monitors so users could monitor the data remotely. We had already started development with another company but I was not happy with the progress so hired DianApps to take over the project and complete it ready for launch.

SOLUTION

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

I had received several emails offering these services in the past and saved the details for future projects. When I realised I needed a new developer sooner than expected, I did more research and made a shortlist. After the call with Dianapps, they presented the level of competence and professionalism I was looking for and I felt confident enough to award them the project.

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

The project involved delivering both an Android and iOS app. The apps display air quality data from multiple sources, and mutiple sensors to show trend history, location mapping and alerts/notiifcations.

A project manager was asigned to be the main point of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project is not complete yet.

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

The project manager communciated each stage clearly letting me know what to expect and when it would be delivered. All deadlines were met and all deliverables met. My feedback was taken into account and any amends noted to incorporate in the next stage.

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

Communication, project management - very good. They also took the time to understand the requirements carefully, and asked the right questions to ensure this.

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

Nothing at this time
