Hyperlink InfoSystem

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CDO at MF&K, a digital product design and branding company that serves as a one-stop-shop for all digital and branding needs. We've been running for about two years and work in about five different time zones that shift throughout the year. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

We needed to complete development efforts for one of our client's websites. Our client was a high-end denim and clothing brand that operates in five storefronts plus an online presence. We had created the first version of their website 5–6 years ago, and they approached us to redo it.

We staffed the project by reaching out to various contractors to see who could step into the fold. One of our developers needed to step off the project when we still had a substantial amount of backlog tasks to be completed, so we hired Hyperlink InfoSystem.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Hyperlink InfoSystem took over the development of our client's website. The site was about halfway complete when they came on board, and the project manager and I devised a process that could work for our needs. We had done mood boards and wireframes that were approved by the client and moved on to the development phase. 

On our side, we created a series of prioritized tickets for them to work on each week and develop the site against the designs we had already created. One developer from our previous provider stuck around and worked with them on the DevOps side during the first month.

The design-heavy site required robust changes from breakpoint to breakpoint, from a 27-inch monitor to a mobile phone. There are a couple of additional breakpoints on the tablet size that needed to be developed that extended to six breakpoints. We handled this with a back and forth; we would stretch the browser, see what was responding, and then they would make comments. The team also worked to customize a free backend system. At the end of each day, they would populate a message that included the detail of which tickets they had targeted. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with five people from Hyperlink InfoSystem, including a project manager, two backend developers, and one frontend developer.

How did you come to work with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

My partner knew one of Hyperlink InfoSystem's founders and recommended them when we were trying to pick an agency to work with. We had a few conversations with them about numbers and timing, and we decided to move forward with them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $3,500 per resource for the first month, for 40 hours a week. Since we had three resources in that first month, we spent $10,500. For the second month, the project manager worked part-time, and we added two more developers to the mix, so we paid around $19,000. In total, we spent less than $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from May–July 2022.  

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I've worked as a designer for over 10 years and have worn every hat, so I'm a stickler when it comes to the visuals and functionality of a website. I measure Hyperlink InfoSystem's success based on how the site looks and functions compared to how I designed it and denoted the functionality request. Their development build matches the original visual comps, as does the functionality. 

Some other things that stand out to me are the pages' load time, the site's stability, and instances when the team made functionality edits without my direction with sound thinking. They came up with dev solutions not documented in my comps that were very good, and I hadn't even thought of them. 

How did Hyperlink InfoSystem perform from a project management standpoint?

I would give them high marks for project management. The project was a tall order from the start because the backend system we used isn't built to do much of what we customized it to do. Therefore, we didn't set up the project expecting to see it be fully completed; it was always a matter of how much we could get done and how well according to our timeline and budget. The fact that the team got the site to a logical state with minor CSS styling changes merits high marks. 

We came up with a sprint cadence according to our timing, budget, and the resources on hand. Together, we devised a plan considering our timezone difference to be on the same page because we had to work fast.

When it came to talking clearly and straightforwardly, things went in the right direction, so I had no major complaints. However, we faced challenges on the communication side due to our language barrier. We had a Slack channel to centralize all communications, and we would check in one day a week in the first month and then three days a week in the second month as things ramped up with DevOps. We used Linear as an online tacking tool, which was very useful for populating tasks. When we had meetings, we used Zoom. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was most impressed that Hyperlink InfoSystem could match the design style. The design was done in hard baseline eight; I set up the site on an eight-by-eight pixel grid system, which created a large number of odd spacings between the elements based on the bounding boxes of text frames. They were able to address the breakpoint needed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We could have improved our alignment on what was reflected in their local environment compared to our own staging environment. This might have mitigated some back and forth. With our difference in timezones, we lost some time because we would sometimes need changes at the end of the day for them. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to align with Hyperlink InfoSystem on week one. Make sure both parties have a successful process moving forward, and don't make any assumptions about how they might work compared to you.

If you have some particulars you might want to see implemented into the process, make sure to communicate. With us, the team was very flexible. They were easy to work with, effective, receptive, and responsive to requests. As long as you communicate and agree on a process, you'll be just fine. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of ArtsNGlory. Our platform is basically an NFT marketplace for buying and selling art pieces using cryptocurrency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

We were looking for experienced blockchain software developers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Hyperlink InfoSystem has helped us build a website and mobile application for our platform from scratch. They use Solidity and Node.js for the site and have made an iOS and Android version of the app. They’ve also helped us in connecting and integrating wallets into our platform using OpenCV.

What is the team composition?

We work with about 15 people from their team, including a project manager, salesperson, 3–4 blockchain developers, 1–2  Node.js developers, an Android and iOS developer, and backend developers.

How did you come to work with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

I found Hyperlink InfoSystem on Clutch as well as other websites. They had a small team with experience in blockchain projects, which was the main reason we decided to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

For the first phase, we’ve invested like $250,000 USD. There will be maintenance work done every year that ranges around $45,000 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around October 2021, and our engagement is still ongoing. We actually plan to continue working with them for the next four or five years because we recently found an investor.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They’ve delivered to us a bug-free product, which we’re very happy about. We’ve also conducted a few demos with internal friends and are still waiting for more results. However, as of now, the website and app are functioning smoothly, and we’re having a pretty good experience working with their team.

How did Hyperlink InfoSystem perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve handled the core part of the project really well. Initially, they gave us an SRS document for our review to prevent any confusion and mistakes. We communicate over iMessage, WhatsApp, email, Skype, and Jira.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with their communication, knowledge of key technologies, and ability to deliver a bug-free product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It’ll be much easier if they had a development team based in the US, but they’ll probably charge more money for their services.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with them — they’re an amazing and trustworthy team that always gives their best. Also, make sure to give them the freedom to do their work.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the COO of our Mobile Delivery Software and App

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to develop a Mobile App and backend that made online ordering and delivery at golf courses easier and more accessible to the consumers.

SOLUTION

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

By looking at reviews on Clutch and their past projects.

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

We had a number of discovery meetings and we provided them our high level goals and application flow. We have also been working with them for continuous development and enhancements on our application. We strive to provide them with clear flow needs of the application and back end along with screenshots to assist the developers with our overall vision.

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

We have worked with a Sales Rep, then a technical project manager was assigned along with 2 developers. One developer for our front end development and another for the back end development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We started the initial project in February of 2021. We were initially told that it would take 3-4 months from start to finish before we could be live. We had a number of testing issues and overall design misses so the project did not go live until June 2022. We have also contracted with them to do a number of additional enhancements and ongoing support. The team when they are working does a fantastic job, however we have seen a drastic decline in support for our project despite buying more time and hours.

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

The project management has been ok. They use Zoho projects, email and google docs. The communication could use some improvement as we found working in technical documents within emails became clunky. Once we moved the team to our internal ClickUp instance everything has been moving a lot smoother and cleaner.

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

The CEO is very active and has been great to work with. I also find that their development is very good once you can lock down the team to focus on specific tasks.

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

Communication and overall customer experience would be great. As I have mentioned the project took much longer than expected, however I can chalk that up to our revisions, potential scope creep and attention to detail so not completely the fault of the company. However we find that continued work and development is spotty from a time perspective. This may likely be that the developers are also on other projects which I understand, but communication stating that would be good and expectations on when they can reengage would be all we ask for. Again the Dev team is GREAT, when they actually work on your project.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder of a job-finding company. We're in New Zealand and service B2B companies looking for resources to hire. We work with several large companies and provide them with manpower as per their requirements.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

We needed mobile app development support. Our forecasting for this project is very big, as it is an ongoing project. We've hired a complete team to work exclusively on our project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

It’s a NetSys platform on the frontend and a Python backend. We're developing an app for Android and iOS, and we’re also developing the website. It's a full-fledged development project.

The app has a section where companies looking to hire are listed. We also have sponsors there,  and users can search for suitable offerings based on their experience. 

What is the team composition?

We have 12–16 developers, including the project manager.

How did you come to work with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

We were browsing IT companies globally, and many of our friends recommended Hyperlink InfoSystem. My partner had someone meet them personally in India, check out their offices, and meet their CEO and team. After that, we decided to go ahead with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’re paying around $12,000 a month. We signed a contract for three years. The cost will be over $300,000 by the end of the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them six months ago.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their work is brilliant, and the communication with the project manager and the developers is going great. We’re still in the development phase, so we are also brainstorming from our side and having many many discussions back and forth with them. Hyperlink InfoSystem is kind enough to come up with very good solutions based on their experience. That's why we are very happy with our decision to hire them. 

How did Hyperlink InfoSystem perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been doing great so far. I can communicate with them any time when I’m available and have direct access to the project manager. We’re also a part of their project management tool, so we also get updates. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve had no issues. Their team works eight hours a day, and I get daily reports. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They are absolutely phenomenal. I can highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of work. The experience has been great, and we will have a long-term relationship with them.

BACKGROUND

What challenge were you trying to address with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

We needed help with mobile app development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Hyperlink InfoSystem has helped us develop an iOS and Android mobile app, and they’ve also supported us with IoT. For this project, we had to use a Chinese API, and they were in charge of getting the API and integrating it into the app.

What is the team composition?

We work with a salesperson based in Dubai and a project manager based in India. The development team from Hyperlink InfoSystem also works from India.

How did you come to work with Hyperlink InfoSystem?

We contacted 4–5 companies in Dubai, and Hyperlink InfoSystem seemed to have a great experience. They also had offices in Dubai, so it was great for us to be able to partner with a team that also spoke Arabic and with whom we could meet in person. Additionally, they were cheaper than other companies, and we went through their profile on Clutch and saw their great reputation and reviews.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve invested $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around November 2021, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re currently making demonstrations of our app with other companies to get feedback from them and understand how far we can take our project. Having a functioning app has been very helpful for our investment rounds.

How did Hyperlink InfoSystem perform from a project management standpoint?

Hyperlink InfoSystem’s project management is very good, and they’ve been on point in every aspect. We use Zoho to manage the project and Skype and WhatsApp to communicate. We have a WhatsApp group with their development team, which allows us to communicate any queries or difficulties easily.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Hyperlink InfoSystem’s team is very hardworking and responsive, making changes and fixing issues very quickly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be great if their entire team spoke Arabic; it would make our communication easier.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the owner and director of 4 All About Horses which is a tradeshow jumping horses company. We unite buyers and providers of everything that has to do with horses like a new horse, stable, horse truck, blacksmith, veterinarian specialist, and many more.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired Hyperlink Infosystem to build the 4Horses app, a platform that connects equestrians for selling or buying horses and everything that has to do with horses: trucks, trailers, breeding, transportation, horse properties so real estate, jobs: working as a trainer, veterinary, groom or whatever about horses.

SOLUTION

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

I found Hyperlink InfoSystem on the Internet, I visit their website and approach them with the requirement. I was contacted by Mr. Ketan as a salesperson to discuss the requirements. I have reviewed their past work and asked him multiple queries which he answers immediately and is always available to discuss the scope. I was satisfied with all answers and hired Hyperlink Infosystem to develop 4- horses equestrian app.

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

I have designed the logo of the app and defined colors to use in app design. We have discussed the app idea and app flow like how it works. I want a simple and easy-to-use solution that attracts more equestrians. I requested them to choose the best technologies for development suitable to my needs. Key deliverables for this project are Android App, iOS App, and Web-based admin panel.

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

I mostly worked with Parth, he is a project manager and point of contact during all stages. He handles all resources assigned to my project. He was very professional and always available which was the most important thing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

4 Horses is the first 360’ platform for the horse world and I make it free for all. We had lots of shares during the jumping shows. We wanted to give our services to all equestrians. COVID-19 changed our world a lot and it becomes very important to remain connected all together on a platform like this.

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

First, they start with the understanding of what kind of app I wanted to develop. I know that the Horse world is not easy to understand when you don’t have any experience. To manage projects and communication, they used a project management tool called Zoho. In Zoho, I made a plan to explain exactly all categories of the app and other details. Based on the plan, they designed UI and start development. They delivered me a beta app with various versions to verify the app flow and with minor changes, they developed a platform to satisfy my business idea.

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

I am impressed with Parth – Project Manager from Hyperlink InfoSystem. They solved almost all problems very quickly and always thought from the customer’s side to manage the project.

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

Not able to find any. I’m satisfied with the deliverables.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Owner of Alpine Travels in Vienna, Austria. We run a travel agency since 2007 that helps tourists to book hotels and flights, and pick up/drop off services from Airport to Hotel and Hotel to Airport. We are planning to launch a cab booking app named Alpine Cabs for tourists and local people of Austria who travel in nearby locations and cities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

To reach local people of cities in Austria, we wanted to develop apps that will help users avail taxi services with just a few taps. With the launch of this business, we can create more opportunities for drivers to earn bucks by riding in nearby locations. In addition, we are also targeting people traveling to different cities frequently and give the option to use taxi services with attractive discounts and offers.

SOLUTION

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

We were searching for app development service providers in India to build an app for us. In recent years, India is becoming the hub for IT services and one can find so many options to choose the best suitable service providers based on their budget and requirement. Hyperlink InfoSystem is a quite popular app development company in India with 10+ years of experience in the business.

The most important reason to choose them as our app development partner is that the company run by a team of young people who never failed to adopt any new technology.

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

Taxi app development is our basic need to launch our business in this digital world. The app will help us to automate many manual processes like online taxi booking, tracking drivers, managing payments, verifying registered driver details in just a few taps, and many more.

We are impressed with the experience of Hyperlink InfoSystem in taxi app development as they developed more than hundreds of apps for taxi businesses worldwide. We requested a demo of some apps to get an idea about more features for our app, and they shared some documents and reference apps developed by Hyperlink InfoSystem.

Their team designed wireframes and user interfaces for customer and driver apps as the first step of the project. We have approved the designs with minor changes and they started to prototype and development. Deliverables are Android and iOS apps for customers and drivers, a web admin panel with admin and super admin access. They are working on one page web design for our business and it will be live in next 15 days.

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

We don’t have an exact idea about the number of resources, but at least a team of 15 people worked on our project. We communicate with the project manager, and account manager to check for updates on development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Hyperlink Infosystem shared all coding files and deliverables last week only for the final test from our team. Earlier, we used manual processes to manage all business operations, and this system helped us to migrate all bookings, customers, and drivers' details to the online platform. Hyperlink InfoSystem team is taking online sessions with our team to explain how the system works. Our team is excited to learn and start work on the platform soon.

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

Hyperlink InfoSystem’s project management style is quite impressive. The project manager was handling multiple projects at the same time but never disappointed us with our expectations. They wanted happy clients, and it was visible in their work style.

We needed some major changes in payment gateways and processes during the development stage, and they manage it in the best possible way. They used a custom project management tool built by their team for internal use only to manage hours and tasks for the development team. We used Google Meet, Skype, and WhatsApp for communication and emails to exchange any information in writing.

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

I am impressed with their professionalism and commitment to the clients. They committed us to complete the project in 4 months, developed the custom app from scratch and delivered bug-free solution in four and half months which is beyond our expectation.

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

Hyperlink InfoSystem developed the application from scratch only. If they provide readymade solutions for the taxi and other services, it will be budget-friendly and possibly deliver in a short timeframe. Overall I am satisfied with the deliverables and didn't find any major points for improvement.

I have asked my team to check and shortlist the final vendor from all five vendors we selected for our tech needs.

The cost and time frame given by Hyperlink InfoSystem suits our budget and expectations to launch the platform, and we finalized them as our app development partner.

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

We discussed our idea business analyst team after NDA to finalize the scope of work for our idea. They discussed all requirements on call and suggested a few additional features that attract more audiences to the app. They prepared the doc with all functionalities and wireframes of the apps before signing the contract.

Our project assigned to Mr. Parth, Project Manager of Hyperlink Infosystem who curated the development strategy. As wireframes were ready, they started with UI/UX designs for the app. It takes almost a week to complete all screens and approved by our team.

Next, they worked on a app prototype to understand the workflow. The team started working on the development stage just after finishing the prototype. They scheduled weekly calls with our team to share completed tasks and asked for feedback. In some cases, they also show a demo to our team on how the app works and perform all features in real-time to identify the issues and solve them. Deliverables for our platform will be Android and iOS apps, a website, a web-based admin panel, and all design files and codes.

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

They used Zoho project management tools to plan and manage all tasks for resources with hours. The project manager and team worked beyond our expectations, completed each task in the given timeline and delivered the app builds to test as planned.

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

We are impressed with the skills and knowledge of their developers. Some challenging tasks needed extra efforts, but their technical experts researched and created various algorithms to complete the tasks in a given timeline.

The project manager also not failed to impress us with his project management skills. He is always available to answer us and resolve any issue during development with his expertise.

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

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder and CEO of Meal To Serve, a food delivery startup in Charleston, SC. I was working as a head chef in one of the popular restaurants in Charleston and started working on this idea eight months back. With our app, users can get food anywhere from their nearby favorite restaurants. We target local restaurants to register as a business with us and earn more by getting more orders through our app.

We are also planning to offer some attractive discounts and offers to attract more audience initially.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

For food delivery app development, we have hired a team of Hyperlink InfoSystem. For the first phase, we planned to start with the food delivery and after becoming popular in the city, we will start with the second phase of development that includes groceries and parcel delivery. With this commercial platform, we have also included one unique feature in the same app to resolve food wastage.

In this, restaurants can drop us messages or orders using their panel for the extra food left at the end of the day, and our delivery person will take it from the restaurant and drop it at the fixed points. Our team will distribute food to needy people.

SOLUTION

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

One of my friends suggested us to review clutch.co for IT service provider. We have found Hyperlink InfoSystem on the list of Top mobile app development companies. We have reviewed their portfolio, reviews, and their website before contacting them. Before hiring them, we have taken their team’s interview to make sure we have chosen the right partner for our idea. Their work portfolio, client reviews, and knowledge in the field were the deciding factors for us.

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

With the rough idea, I have contacted them. Mr. Darshan from Business Development Team helped me to schedule a meeting with their technical team who prepared the Scope of Work document for our requirement. I expected Android and iOS apps as deliverables but after discussion, they added the admin panel, restaurants panel, and website to the list of deliverables.

We have signed the contract to start the project first, then they assign us a project manager Mr. Uresh and a team of designers and developers. First, they deliver the wireframe and prototype and after our approval, they start development. Generally, we discussed progress with the team on weekly basis, and they were always ready to present us with some new tasks completed without any errors.

Before sending any file to us, their QA team test it twice for the issues. We are almost completed with the project and after two weeks our maintenance and support time will start.

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

We were in communication with Mr. Uresh frequently but at least 15 people work on it. We have taken interviews with senior developers, UI/UX designers, Web designers, and server administrators.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are happy with all the deliverables and continue to work on phase 2 with Hyperlink InfoSystem in the next 3 months. Delivered apps are beyond our expectations and help us to launch our business in this very much competitive industry. We are working on the launching strategy and planning to launch it in the first week of June. We have already attracted a wide range of restaurants to register on our app using email marketing and personal meetings in Charleston, SC.

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

As a project manager, Mr. Uresh helped us in the development of our dream app idea and manage every stage smoothly. We have given access to Zoho project management tools in which the whole assigned team shares updates daily about the progress of development. We were not able to find any loophole in communication during the development stage. The project manager understands everything and shared it with the team to plan the development tasks. For communication, we used WhatsApp, Skype, and email.

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

Their expertise in the demanding industry is very impressive. They suggested us some amazing and unique features and also helped us to improve our app workflow to get success in the market. If one with an idea of any type of on-demand app, I recommend them to discuss it once with Hyperlink InfoSystem for sure.

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

It will be good if they give at least six months of maintenance support. Their code quality is a very nice and clean and developed solution without any bugs. In our case, limited time for maintenance and support is fine as we are working on the second phase of development soon.
