Foursets

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Director of Product Design at a leader in smart water management solutions, helping companies to maximize water savings, reduce operating costs, minimize business risks, and achieve sustainability goals. An EPA WaterSense® Partner of the Year, the company combines the latest in IoT technology, data analytics, and automation to optimize irrigation, flow management, and leak detection across an entire site. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Foursets?

We wanted to partner with a capable, talented UI/UX designer on a complicated SaaS project. There was little confidence in spinning the wheel of chance to find a designer with these large freelance websites. Instead, we looked for the best work being performed and researched the source of that work.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

When searching the web for design inspiration and design approaches, there was a sea of carbon copy designs. Whenever a new/creative/clean design caught our eye, it dawned on us to find the people doing the best work. That company was Foursets.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project is to help build a powerful SaaS application that's information and data shown will inspire enterprise customers to reduce their water consumption. We cannot share the project details publically, but the project's complexity required not only excellent design but also a designer with keen reasoning skills.

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

We worked with a single Senior UI/UX Designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project has not been released at the time of writing this.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication from Foursets was excellent. Not only did we have regular communication directly with the designer, but Foursets would reach out often requesting feedback and asking if there was anything needed to continue to make the project successful.

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

Foursets checks all of the boxes. Communication skills are excellent, design skills are the best in the industry, and much more.

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

We are very satisfied with Foursets and their abilities.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CPO of Softvoya, a software development company. We have a few different directions, including our own internal product and a project outsourcing department, where we create products upon customer needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Foursets?

We hired them to provide UI/UX design for a web application; we wanted to streamline the UX and ensure the UI was user-friendly and the user path was top-notch.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Foursets designed the UI/UX of a web application for our end client using Figma. First, we provided them with the business requirements, user stories, and task descriptions. We also gave them the basic colors and fonts we wanted to use, and they helped us pick the best options for both of those elements. 

The team reviewed the documentation and conducted user research to determine the user personas. They interviewed potential users and checked what our competitors were doing and how they responded to the challenges we were facing. They determined how we could utilize past practices to ensure that the product we created met market expectations. 

Our design requirements included making the product user-friendly. We also wanted the deliverables to be optimized for the frontend development team in terms of the app's components. We requested that the user flow be streamlined and that every component be applicable to different parts of the system in the same way. 

From there, the team created wireframes, user paths, and a prototype. We tested the prototype to see how users would interact with the UI and provided feedback. Foursets adjusted the design based on our comments. Once they completed the prototype and the wireframing stages, Foursets created the design system with the components that should be applied to the whole product. Then, we used the design system with the mock-up's layout. 

What is the team composition?

We mostly worked with Nick (Founder & UI/UX Designer), who was in charge of most of the project. In addition, a UI designer from Foursets worked directly with our development team. 

How did you come to work with Foursets?

I was already acquainted with Nick and knew he had started Foursets. He's a great designer, and I knew I could trust his opinion and that he'd provide a great product. Therefore, when we needed help, we got in touch with Foursets. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $20,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

This project lasted from November 2021–October 2022. Even though this project is finished, there's potential for us to work with Foursets on future projects together.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our primary measure of Foursets’ success was our client’s satisfaction — when the customer is happy, we’re happy. The app’s UX was good; users didn’t experience significant issues determining what actions they needed to complete to use the product. These results garnered positive reviews from our client. Secondly, we also measured the good turnaround speed of the development team; the better the UI/UX design, the faster the development process. 

How did Foursets perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management was great. Nick was always reachable for questions, even outside of working hours. Foursets also set reasonable deadlines, and they always met them. We use a task management system we created ourselves. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed with Foursets’ ability to meet expectations and deadlines. Their ability to provide creative solutions also stood out. The team always pursued our vision and made the best decisions for the user. 

Although the end client wanted things one way, the Foursets team was able to negotiate a solution to ensure that the design was user-friendly. Overall, Foursets was great at educating us and helping us make informed decisions. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was nothing they needed to improve. Foursets should just keep growing!

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Listen carefully to Foursets’ ideas. Sometimes, you have to give them creative freedom and let them make decisions for you. If you let them surprise you, they can provide results that will blow your mind.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder of Setproduct. We create unique design systems and UI kits for sale.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Foursets?

I hired Foursets for designing custom UI kits keeping in mind to serve our upcoming customers within reusing pre-made templates as Zeus UI kit consists of.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I found them on LinkedIn when I was looking for a vendor for my future design system. After that, I noticed that they have relevant to my project experience with design systems and UI kits because they make Webflow templates from scratch. I decided that they can help us.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Our scope wasn't massive. Together we made some short market research and competitors analysis and define the scope of work. Then we started to make design from scratch in Figma. It took about 4 months part-time work. And after that we finished the design part with a great result. Right now we are working on the v2 of this product.

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

There was a sales manager when we met. During the main phase, I worked with the product designer Nick.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It is so early to measure the results because this design system will be on sale for years until it's become not relevant for the market.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

As I said before I worked in pairs only with the designer and that's why it was easy to track our progress. We worked harmoniously using YouTrack as a project management tool and Telegram for communications.

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

I like their deep-dive approach. They always asked me about my business and customers. They were proactive which I like. The sales manager was on the pulse of our project but it wasn't needed.

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

They can improve their service by doing SEO and other marketing services. Because I wanted to continue working with them on the marketing of my project. But they weren't available for that.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a CTO of MarketMalinois Inc. - a software company that is developing a solution for marketing reporting

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Foursets?

I and my partner had an idea of a product and its functionality but we had zero experience and knowledge in product design. We needed UI mockups, dynamic prototypes, and consulting in UX.

SOLUTION

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

I was looking for someone on LinkedIn and found Foursets. Looking at their portfolio and asking for an initial design as a test drive we decided to work with them long-term since we liked their price/quality ratio. Their communication was amazing, and they were much faster than we expected

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project is a web application for marketing reporting. We connect to third-party APIs and pull marketing data into beautiful dashboards. In the beginning, we had an idea that we needed to convert into design first. We first connected with Foursets, outlined our idea, and asked if they think they'll be able to create a user-friendly UI.

After initial designs, we realized that we loved both speed, price, and actual designs that Foursets provided. We decided to proceed and started to have weekly meetings to track the progress and discuss business requirements.

Foursets also worked on our public website. They fully designed it and provided consulting in no-code website development with Webflow. Foursets was very professional and helped us identify many product pain points and refine our initial idea.

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

We worked with 1 designer from Foursets

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We're still in the progress of going live. Our website will be available this July 2022. The website will be on marketmalinois.com and the web application will be on app.marketmalinois.com

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was good, and we had no problems communicating and closing issues on time.

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

The designer was very thorough and professional. He did a great design and helped us identify any product/business issues we had.

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

Nothing specific at the moment
