Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re an Israeli commercial broadcaster, with one of the main TV channels in the country. We broadcast news and entertainment shows. I’m part of the digital department. We have two websites, one for news and one for VODs and live streams.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DINO - Tech Solutions?

We have our own tech department, but we had multiple products to launch and couldn’t handle all the work. DINO is one of the outsourced developers we’ve used.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

One of the projects DINO has done for us was an online game for one of our shows. The main goal is for users to predict who will win a race on the show. There’s a feature for sharing the game on social media.

What is the team composition?

There were around four people from DINO on this project, and Yonatan (Head of Business Development) was our main contact. I also had a discussion with one of the developers.

How did you come to work with DINO - Tech Solutions?

I saw their work online and really liked what they were doing. I had a good connection with them. DINO was very collaborative and energetic, and they had a lot of good ideas for our projects, which are usually quick and out of the box.

How much have you invested with them?

I can’t share this information, but they have very competitive pricing.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with DINO around September 2020, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This specific project was one that we wanted to launch very fast, so one of the metrics was how quickly DINO could understand what we want and produce it. They had to work with our staff and with our designs, and they succeeded with that. Our audience likes the game, and they’re playing it.

How did DINO - Tech Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate mostly by email and phone.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very collaborative, and they don’t get stuck on one solution. They try to understand what we need, and they’re enthusiastic about their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There could be something, but it also depends on us. I can’t think of anything in particular with regard to this project.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I recommend being open-minded and listening to DINO’s ideas.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of digital at Hop Media Group. I’m responsible for all digital assets, such as websites, applications, and social channels. We’re the largest media company for preschool children in Israel. We have four linear channels, each one with its own assets.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DINO Tech Solutions?

They were brought in to develop one of our websites.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The site uses WebGL and HTML5. It has a parental control feature, so kids can’t leave a specific part of the website unless their parents allow it. The controls have another feature that can block kids after a period of time set by the parents.

The site has a video player, and all the games are iframe, so they’re not hosted on the website. We have articles, a blog, and picture galleries, both uploaded by us and by users, for contests.

The backend allows us to run the website. We change it daily, almost hourly. They developed a strong backend system that is easy for us to access. 

What is the team composition?

We had a project manager, a tech project manager—who was the senior developer that built the backend, and a frontend developer. There was also a freelance designer that they worked with. 

How did you come to work with DINO Tech Solutions?

During the proposal process, they gave us a presentation that showed their vision of our new website. A lot of companies competed for the project, but their pitch was the best one, both in terms of vision and the features they offered.

How much have you invested with them?

The main project cost $75,000. We’ve done other work since then, so the cost has increased slightly. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with DINO in March 2018. We launched the beta version of the site in December of that year, and we officially launched the site in January 2019. DINO is continuing to provide us development services.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The designer they provided created our new branding book. All our graphics are thanks to them.

We started working with Trello thanks to them. We wanted something to run all the assignments, and they recommended Trello. It’s become a part of our company, and everyone uses it now.

We had a rough start, but it was because of the server company, not DINO. Most of the feedback we’ve gotten has been positive. The negative comments are mostly about the content, not the website.

We’re still working with them. We’re launching another website, and they’re supporting all our assets. They took over someone else’s products, and are now running them. They also built us another WordPress website.

How did DINO Tech Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is the only area for improvement. In their defense, it was a very stressful time and we had a lot of internal issues. We were initially supposed to go live in early-December instead of January, because of Hanukah and Christmas. We were delayed because of all of the issues, but it wasn’t that bad. We were just set back a few weeks. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The level of service they provide is impressive. They have two headquarters in Canada and Israel. There is someone from the company available almost 24/7. Their ability to adjust to the client’s needs made them stand out. DINO also made excellent suggestions that led us in the right direction.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Except for the initial deadline issues, which were affected by other circumstances, we had a very good experience. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should make sure they work according to the dates they set in the beginning.

We were introduced by a supplier we work with.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The required web page allowed consumers to pick 1 of 4 soccer boots as a background, to which they uploaded a picture and a signature (the campaign revolved around fans signing a declaration of fair and fearless play).

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a partner in a digital advertising agency, where I serve as CTO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DINO?

I needed mobile responsive web software developed in a very short timeframe, to a high standard.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built a WordPress site, which mainly served as a content platform for our client to tell the story of its customer service. It’s a blog for the CEO and head of customer service to give details about their efforts and to review customer service around the world.

What is the team composition?

We had one main point of contact, who served as client and project manager. I also had direct contact with Tal (CEO and Lead Programmer, DINO - Tech Solutions), whom I went to directly for more technical things.

How did you come to work with DINO?

I’m constantly testing providers, so I’d worked with some of the people from DINO in the past. I gave them a try, it was very successful, so they became my main supplier for this type of job.

How much have you invested with them?

Compared to their competitors, they’re quite cost-effective.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with DINO around mid-2018 and the project took about a month to complete.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The customer is satisfied, though they’re not aware of DINO’s involvement. Nevertheless, the project was very successful as they held their end and did a very good job. Whenever I asked them to change or fix something, they did so immediately. I’m happy to recommend them.

How did DINO perform from a project management standpoint?

We use our internal project management tool for all the work, covering the timelines and finances that needs to be done on our side. They’re a small company, so we had easy access to everyone, which was crucial during tight deadlines. They were available through email and chat, which meant we could solve things much quicker.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their sense of ownership for the work is impressive. We felt that they were a part of our team, which was crucial to getting a high-level delivery. They work fast, the quality is great, they’re responsive, and they’re not so pricy, given the level of service we’re receiving.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s been nothing major so far. I give them my feedback as we go along in the process.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

It’s a relationship between a client and a supplier, and the best thing is to look at it that way. It’s important to learn from one another and have good communication. DINO is a smaller company with less bureaucracy, which is useful.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a video production company. We provide creative, production, and post-production services for interactive media.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DINO - Tech Solutions?

We needed a development firm to build a website that could support complex video software.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Our project consisted of building a customizable video platform. The software needed to grant viewers the ability to augment audio via text commands. We utilized a voice-to-speech application to make this possible but still required an external firm to link the technologies together on a stable website. DINO - Tech Solutions created the site’s frontend interface and backend infrastructure. This system enables users to enter text that’s then filtered through the voice-to-speech application. The resulting voice is run through sound effects, mixed back into the video, and integrated with the existing audio. The final product allows users to customize existing videos by typing directives.

What is the team composition?

An assigned project manager was our sole point of contact.

How did you come to work with DINO - Tech Solutions?

They were recommended to us by a mutual client. We hired them to complete a small project and have continually worked together since then.

The web development cost around $20,000.

They’re an honest team that offers fair pricing. We appreciate having access to a trustworthy firm that can overcome even significant challenges.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. We’re happy with the service they provide.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I don’t have any noteworthy recommendations.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a programmer and project manager for a human resources company. We educate students in the building inspection field.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DINO – Tech Solutions?

I needed a development company that could accomplish parts of the project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The software they made isn’t a standalone product, but part of our overall training product. DINO – Tech Solutions developed a part of the project, mainly around image treatment. We would upload those images to the server and use their tool to add geometric shapes, such as arrows and triangles, to highlight a defective part in a big picture.

What is the team composition?

I interacted with Tal (CEO and Founder, DINO - Tech Solutions). I didn’t talk to anyone else in the company.

We started at the beginning of 2018 and the project lasted two weeks.

We had a positive experience because delays were minimal.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CTO and co-owner of a soldier marketing platform that consists of an app, a social network, and user profiles. Our main work is building digital campaigns for clients on our platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DINO – Tech Solutions?

We needed more manpower to help us develop a digital platform for one of our clients. Their platform would be hosted on our platform, but it would be customized to their specifications.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The platform serves as an entertainment tool for soldiers. It includes quizzes and minigames that allow them to accrue points, which can then be redeemed for free beverages from our client, which is a beverage provider.

I asked DINO – Tech Solutions to build the frontend using Javascript, React, and Webpack.

What is the team composition?

I communicated mostly with our two programmers, but we were also assigned a project manager.

How did you come to work with DINO – Tech Solutions?

I was looking for companies that had a presence in Israel. I researched several companies on the Clutch site and selected DINO because they were willing to use the technological stack I requested.

How much have you invested with them?

We have spent around 35,000 Shekels ($9,515 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together for the entire month of June 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app is live and operating well within the hosting app. The client was very impressed and has reported positive feedback from users.

How did DINO – Tech Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team was professional and kept us to a strict timeline. They liked working through email, which I didn’t prefer, so we transitioned to Slack and were more organized that way.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve worked with several developers who are closed-minded and resistant to learn new technologies or adapt their stack to yours. DINO was very flexible. I gave them a list of technologies I wanted to use, and they presented me with other ways, but they were willing to work with what I wanted. Their flexibility was the main reason we selected them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I think they are more familiar with Angular, but becoming more familiar with React would make them more well-rounded.

Any advice for potential customers?

I found it valuable to ask for daily updates so that I could easily track their progress.
