BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Managing Director of Street Support Network

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Street Support Network is a UK charity providing practical digital infrastructure for homelessness prevention.

We help make support easier to find and easier to offer by connecting people, frontline teams and local systems in one place. Our work focuses on clarity, coordination and early help, so people can access the right support before crisis hits.

We run local digital hubs in 30+ areas, bringing together up-to-date information on homelessness, food, health, money advice and safeguarding. Alongside this, we work with councils, charities and partners to use insight and values-led AI to reduce admin, improve collaboration and create breathing room for frontline workers.

We don’t deliver services directly. Instead, we support the organisations who do, strengthening local ownership, protecting dignity and keeping people at the centre of every tool we build.

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

They were responsive and provided great communication in a timely manner. Took time to show us progress and steps and get sign off before moving on to the next item on the project agenda. Really appreciated how they handled this. 

What was your primary form of communication with Honeycomb Software?

In-Person Meeting

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

The communication was clear. They were flexible in terms of allocation of resources and how we could make slight changes to the scope of the work and reach agreeable solutions within the consdtraints of the contract. Great working relationship. Overall really positive. 

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

It took a little bit of back and forth to agree the scope of the contract and pricing in the first instance, however this was nothing more than an early teething problem in terms of making sure we were on the same page around scope and budget. That really was the only sticking point and it was a minor one at that. Once we had reached an agreement, everything ran smoothly.

5. Capable of scaling up and scaling down manhours and were very flexible to our business needs.

What was your primary form of communication with Honeycomb Software?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Responsive, fast, and highly professional.

They work very hard and don't argue or complain. If they disagree with an implementation, the group offers their opinions and proposed changed, but always allow the business stake holders the ultimate say on what drives the technology.

For smaller groups, their insight is highly valuable and they are always willing to provide best practices and offer innovative solutations. They anticipate tech gaps and work to bridge them. The team also balances "perfect states" with "business realities" and understand that reconfiguring everything is not always an option and that sometimes it is best to work with the existing infrastructure and improve what they can due to business demands (budget, time, company objectives). This is unique in the development space and exceptionally uncommon for consultants, where the incentive is normally to change everything and bloat expenses and timelines.

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

This is an A team. They were there for us when we needed them most and we are extraordinarily grateful for their hard work, expertise, and professionalism.

When unexpected issues arose, they didn't simply apply quick fixes but invested the time to understand root causes and implement sustainable solutions. This dedication to project stability was crucial for our AI platform, where reliability directly impacted user trust and business outcomes. Their combination of technical expertise and genuine investment in our success made them an invaluable partner in achieving our ambitious objectives.

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

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

Honeycomb Software conducted a careful analysis to identify requirements. They defined a roadmap for implementing AI-driven recommendations, integrating wearable devices, and ensuring stable connectivity to our e-commerce platform. 

They also designed a scalable architecture that supports AI-driven recommendations and ensures smooth integration with the e-commerce functionality, and wearable devices. Although the e-commerce platform was built by our team, Honeycomb Software made sure all elements connected seamlessly, providing a cohesive and user-friendly experience.

At the development stage, the team implemented an AI-powered activity recommendation engine, using advanced learning machine frameworks. The engine utilized collaborative and content-based filtering algorithms to analyze user data and provide highly personalized suggestions that align with users' goals, preferences, and constraints. For instance, it could suggest low-impact exercises for older users or high-intensity workouts for young adults. 

As for the wearables, using APIs and data pipelines, the team connected devices like Apple Watch to collect needed data. This allowed the platform to collect key data points such as heart rate, activity patterns, and more, and provide valuable insights for users. Additionally, tools such as questionnaires were implemented to gather user input to deliver more personalized experiences. 

To boost user engagement, Honeycomb Software developed features for real-time progress tracking and gamification, such as product discounts for users who achieved activity milestones. 

At the testing stage, the team validated the platform’s performance, usability, and scalability, using a combination of manual and integration testing techniques to ensure that everything was done to meet the highest standard. To ensure scalability, stress testing, and capacity testing were performed to identify potential pitfalls and optimize resource allocation. In all, every feature was thoroughly tested to ensure flawless functionality and user experience.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Firstly, the AI-driven recommendation solution provided highly accurate, personalized suggestions, improving user satisfaction based on feedback and usage data.

Secondly, the gamification features they introduced led to a boost in user activity and retention rates.

Additionally, the frictionless integration with wearables and the e-commerce platform ensured everything worked flawlessly, providing a smooth and reliable user experience, and as a result, a boosted engagement of 20%

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

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Honeycomb Software created several UX flows in the clickable app prototype. Honeycomb Software had very good communication: we agreed on regular meetings to review and direct progress, we agreed on what communication channels we'd use (we chose Slack, comments in Figma, regular virtual meetings, and to a lesser degree email). 

Their questions were clear, and they immediately understood what we wanted technically as well as timeline and budget. I very much appreciated Honeycomb Software's great insight and advice on how to create the right user experience. They created a high quality, professional app prototype for Android and iOS.
