OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Greencode?

We needed support in developing e-commerce and loyalty platforms for our customers.

SOLUTION

What is the scope of their involvement?

Greencode is responsible for the design, development, and programming of e-commerce and loyalty platforms for our clients. The loyalty platform they have developed allows users to redeem points from banks. They build the platforms using Python, and we use servers and databases at Amazon. The repository is on GitHub.

What is the team composition?

Initially, we worked with two senior developers, one semi-senior, and two juniors. Now, we have a project manager who helps us with the tasks that Greencode takes care of.

How did you come to work with Greencode?

When I joined the company, they were already working with us. I know they had business relations with the company. The CEO of our company knew the CEO of Greencode, and they started working together.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in January 2013, and we continue working with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I don't have specific data on the performance of their development for us, but Greencode's work has made it easier for us to sell products through e-commerce platforms. Of course, the quality of the team's work is excellent and has exceeded our expectations.

How did Greencode perform from a project management standpoint?

They are punctual, take the time, make their plans, and we always meet the deadlines. Greencode always hits milestones despite some projects remaining open and having uncertain plans or needing more development.

We work with four important banks in Argentina. Thanks to Greencode, we homologate their platforms at the level of computer security, and we comply with those standards and homologations with and with their audits.

We use Slack to communicate, which is more specific to what we do. Then, we use Redmine to monitor. We also use two methodologies with Greencode: the Kanban methodology for support and the Agile methodology for development. That is why, in Redmine, we have both configurations to monitor both aspects.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to highlight Miguel, a coworker who always does outstanding work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are coworkers who, although they are teams from different companies, are interdisciplinary, and we work together and create synergy. It is essential.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I think that we are people first, and then we work. So, trust is crucial for me in my work. Being able to trust, knowing that when you need them, they are there when you ask for something and get it done, as well as the synergy and the ways they have to improve, always seeing and finding something new and improving what you have planned. Greencode's good work and professionalism are trustworthy.
