Our solution is used by large players on the Automotive market, so we can say that we are successful and want to achieve even more of them. The Idego Group certainly contributed to this. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? Good question. First of all, it is worth emphasising the fact that at the end of every business or solution to a problem is a human being. Thanks to daily communication, we owe great relationships that are key when creating development remotely. I am responsible for planning, implementing, defining the direction and verifying the stages of the project. I am also a person at the meeting point of development and management.

We have prepared some initial mobile wireframes in a mock up tool to explain our scope better, but at the end of the day, we expected to re-think from an external standpoint the UX approach and Design User Interface or web and mobile platform. What were your goals for this project? Our main goal was to create a user-friendly tool for purchasing insurance. On the other hand, we wanted to make sure that the design team will be aligned with our development in terms of feasibility, assets, and specific solutions. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? I found their team on Clutch. We had an interview via video-conference when we could discuss the project, expectations, and share an initial scope of the project. Simon ( partner in EFEKT) walked us through their processes, tools, and portfolio. After receiving a quote, we decided to go with them. Describe the project in detail. We have already defined the features of our product, so I guess it was more comfortable for EFEKT to start from this point. However, we needed the UX/UI expert to validate our ideas and transform them into the interfaces which faced our expectations. What was the team composition?

Their portfolio and past testimonials led us to have a more in-depth conversation. We got along well and had a similar workflow& communication approach. Describe the project in detail.

We had internal development resources, but the information architecture, user flows, interface design were things that had to be made. What were your goals for this project? The design had to be appealing to our market segment, which is mostly fashion brands and influencers. We are trying to combine influencers, buyers, and brands into one ecosystem. The project required a lot of research and thinking of how we could motivate people to be present and come back to the platform. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? I met Simon (partner in EFEKT) on the conference. I vetted EFEKT and thought they were a good fit to be a design partner for our needs. Describe the project in detail. We transferred our desired features into a low-fidelity mindmap. We knew that it wasn't detailed, so we were happy that at the beginning, EFEKT worked about general user flow without paying attention to the UI. In a quite short amount of time, we managed to have clear vision across all stakeholders what we are trying to build. After we gave them feedback, they built wireframes (starting from mobile-first approach), and after accepted UX, they came up with a solidly consistent "look and feel" for us.

Our main goal was to have all mobile&web screens accepted&ready to develop. We had a whole roadmap of the product, so we needed designs to squiz into the timeline. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? EFEKT has a good reputation in our local market. We chose them because of their vast expertise in design, the track record of successful projects, and their perfect understanding of working with Software companies. Describe the project in detail. We were approached by a company with a vision to create a search engine gathering thousands of brands from all around the world. He started working with some UX but he was really disappointed with the outcome and pace. He asked us if we can help with Product Design as well. We arranged a meeting with Simon ( partner in EFEKT) and we felt that they knew what we were trying to accomplish more than anyone else.

EFEKT was responsible for Web&Mobile design. It required a lot of User Research, the discovery of existing solutions and working a lot on combining all technical requirements into something user-friendly.

" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I’m the CEO at Moodroad.com. Moodroad is a fashion search engine gathering thousands of beautiful brands from all around the world for online visitors to explore. We aspire to present trends and products that will reflect clients' frames of mind and emotions. We created personalized searching paths to lead visitors to relevant items and dream purchases. Moodroad.com was born out of a belief shopping can become a simple and meaningful experience. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire EFEKT Agency? We had an IT development team, but required designers to create unique experience. We hired EFEKT to design a modern, high-fashion platform. What were your goals for this project? We wanted to create meaningful shopping experience supported by AI which recommends products according to moods or past purchases. My main goal was to gather professionals in different fields of expertise. Our platform operates in the B2C model, so we were aware the design needs to be compelling. Yet, it was not only about beauty, but creating exceptional user experience. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? We kicked the project off with a different designer, but after 2 months we haven’t seen satisfying progress. I was introduced to the EFEKT team and we met face to face and talked everything over. There were a lot of things that I liked about them, including their attitude, process and engagement. All their deliverables were on time and on target. Describe the project in detail. Moodroad.com as a product was described above. EFEKT was responsible for the design and delivery of the interface. We worked together to establish certain concepts and built the UX/UI based on that. They had a lot of solutions that we thought were perfect for our needs and goals. What was the team composition? We interact with the founders of the agency and their UX/UI team. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? I don't have any metrics set up at this point, because we have launched recently but we do have great feedback from our internal team and first B2B partners. As a startup, we had our internal roadmap of the product and estimated time of launch, so having an outstanding Product Design was a very important piece to start the development as soon as possible. The pressure was high, but EFEKT managed to deliver everything according to the plan. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Every 2 weeks we had a Demo and Sprint planning which EFEKT regularly attended. What I appreciated most was their high dedication and engagement in those meetings, sharing their experience from previous projects or current trends. EFEKT cooperated directly with my development and branding teams, so, fortunately, they were self-going. They are very flexible and reliable, which are some of the great parts of our relationship with them. What did you find most impressive about this company? As mentioned earlier, in the early stage of our project we ran into some issues within the design area, primarily related to communication, timeliness and quality of deliverables. After connecting with the EFEKT team it was clear we're on the same page from day 1, as to What we wish to create and How & When we wanted the project executed. Morever, we all felt throughout the process that the EFEKT team went far beyond agreed and scheduled tasks with brilliant tips and even business advice. Most warm heartedly recommended! Are there any areas for improvement? Nothing I can recall. I honestly can’t see any downsides in what we have created and achieved with their invaluable contribution. --- #### UX/UX Design for Digital Watch **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: July - Sep. 2018 **Project Summary**: Idego Group (formerly EFEKT) designed a digital watch interface from scratch to pair with existing hardware.

The main challenge was to create a visually appealing interface of the sports watch according to very strict requirements from our hardware team. I hired EFEKT to help us crafting a great UX/UI experience for our users. What were your goals for this project? Our strategy was to launch a Kickstarter campaign to gain brand awareness before our launch and gather money to accelerate our production. My intention was to solve my headaches regarding having great usability. I had a list of user stories that we had to include in our version 1.0. To launch a successful campaign on Kickstarter we had to make high-quality mockups with an interface and short commercial animation showing all the features of our watch. That all has been done by EFEKT. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? I’ve heard about EFEKT from a Software Development company which they cooperate with. I was said that EFEKT has strong knowledge of building digital products, startups so we arranged a meeting and from the very first conversation, I knew that they will be a good fit as a UX/UI partner. Describe the project in detail. We came up with an idea to make a digital watch that will be durable and convenient to use in sports such as skiing, cycling. With my hardware team, I managed to build a working skeleton but there was absolutely lack of interface and thinking about user. EFEKT helped me create from scratch great interfaces that gained a lot of presence. What was the team composition? I worked with UX designer, UI designer and Motion Designer. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Once we had the green light, the project moved very quickly. I was pleased by how well they did in a short time frame. The whole project was very complex because requirements from my hardware team were pretty sophisticated but the results were really satisfying. EFEKT was able to understand my vision and they were present in meetings with the hardware team. We wanted to conquer the market with a new digital watch and are currently implementing their work for the next release. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Communication was smooth and we managed to stay within our budget. If we needed face-to-face meetings, we just arranged it a day before but we kept as well as e-mail and phone communication which worked. What did you find most impressive about this company? I really valued their experience and understanding. They’re a smaller agency relative to others in the creative space, so they’re able to offer better customer service. They also have the desire to succeed that defines an evolving company, so they’re constantly trying to improve and go the extra mile for clients. Are there any areas for improvement? No, nothing comes to my mind. I was very satisfied with their work. --- #### UX/UI Partnership for Multiple App Products **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: June 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Idego Group (formerly EFEKT) has worked on two main projects to date: a scanning app that checks smartphone screens for damage and a secure selfie app. They were responsible for the user flows, wireframes, and UX/UI designs. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Head of Digital Care Lab, Digital Care sp. z o. o. - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 201-500 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Oct 1, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: Both products launched successfully and collected positive responses for their effective designs.

I’m Head of Digital Care Lab in DigitalCare. Since 2012 we have been designing and implementing innovative insurance programs and services for mobile devices. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire EFEKT Agency? We reached out to EFEKT to find a long-term UX/UI partner to help us build innovative digital products. Our cooperation started in 2016 and we still continue collaboration on various tasks. The main projects which we have created together were Scanbox and Mirrorcheck. Scanbox is an innovative device that uses advanced algorithms to scan smartphone screens and checks whether they’re damaged. After passing a screen test, a user can insure their phone that we design specifically for our partner. Mirrorcheck is an application for extremely secure selfies. It lets users insure their phones by taking a photo in the mirror. After taking a picture, our app uses advanced algorithms to check the condition of a screen What were your goals for this project?

What was the team composition? We interacted mainly with Simon and David and their UX/UI design team. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

In short, the cooperation with EFEKT has led to a successful launch of our new products How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? They're very responsive and we always felt like we're their priority. We had some challenges around the changing deadlines, but that could be expected because our projects are usually complex and requirements might be changing very quickly. I have to admit that they always pickup a phone even in the evening when we had some instant tasks to do. What did you find most impressive about this company? EFEKT is extremely helpful. They have done an outstanding job with being on time which is crucial in our organization because we have really tight deadlines with our Telco partners. Often the pressure of the projects was high but EFEKT always delivered a scope of the project. I’m very satisfied with their performance and what we pay. It’s very hard to find a partner that’s this responsive and responsible for their work. Are there any areas for improvement? I can't think of anything --- #### UI/UX Design for IT Company **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Jan. - Mar. 2019 **Project Summary**: Idego Group (formerly EFEKT) designed UI/UX wireframes and a clickable prototype before collaborating with a development team to create a new corporate site on web and mobile. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** IT Project Manager, Yameo - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Sep 25, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: Initial feedback on the app has been highly positive, with users and management describing the app as sleek, elegant, and easy-to-use.

Levuro provides social publishing tool that provides extensive video and live stream editing possibilities. I lead the technology and product part of the new product concept. We had initial idea what we wanted achieving and drafted some early mock ups to visual the thinking. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire EFEKT Agency? We were developing a new mobile app and completely new product. We started to promote it while it was still in the idea level. External help was needed to speed up the process and get clickable prototype ready for the conference. Additionally, we had no Usability/Design expertise in-house. What were your goals for this project? So the primary goal was to be ready at the main trade show where we exhibited. We wanted to show our demo to potential customers to get early feedback. We knew what we were trying to build but finally, EFEKT helped us to transfer our ideas into interfaces and product we could go with to the exhibit. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? A friend of mine recommended EFEKT as a UX/UI company that works with Startups. We wanted to work with some smaller but more flexible companies.

They complete deliverables within a matter of weeks. They are a "get things done" company which any early phase company can benefit from. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? We were working closely with a team of EFEKT so communication was clear on skype. We were always informed about the progress and next steps that they were taking. What did you find most impressive about this company? Their team is hardworking, always completing tasks based on the agreed timeline. We knew that timeline is short and there was a tension to prepare everything but EFEKT faced our expectations in terms of quality and time frame Are there any areas for improvement? No --- #### Ecommerce Platform Development for Health Goods Company **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. - Oct. 2018 **Project Summary**: Idego Group developed and maintains an internal tool for a health and wellness company. The backend is built in Python and Django, with a React frontend. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 4.5 **The Reviewer** CTO, Naturitas - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 26, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: The tool is tailor-made to suit specific needs, and productivity has increased. Idego Group managed the project very well and completed it in half the time it would have taken internal resources. They provide high-quality code and work easily within complex structures. "“They’re like a team member who works remotely. It’s hard to differentiate them from our internal team.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We are an e-commerce platform that specializes in selling well-being and health goods in Southern Europe. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Idego Group? The marketplace for tech developers in Barcelona is very competitive, and it was difficult to find a local company at a rate we could afford. We needed a team to help us, so looked further afield to find the right vendor. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Since we had trouble finding a company at first, we did as much as we could internally to build our own enterprise resource planning system. We didn’t have the expertise we needed, so Idego Group helped us develop the management tools we needed. They used Python and Django to build the backend and React for the frontend. What is the team composition? So far, we work with one full-time developer and a project manager on their side. How did you come to work with Idego Group? We chose to work with them for the cost advantage and for the personal touch of their CEO. We had a Skype call with him first, then we met in person to discuss similar projects they worked on previously. Ultimately, they were the best options among the candidates, so we decided to hire them. How much have you invested with them? Our average expenditure is around 4,000 € (approximately $4,500 USD) per month for 11 months, for a total of around 45,000 € (approximately $51,000 USD). What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in January 2018 and the collaboration is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The tool is used for our internal purposes, so it’s challenging to track key performance indicators with hard data. We have increased productivity within our catalog team and have a tool that is tailored to our needs. Without their help, this kind of project would have taken at least twice as much time. How did Idego Group perform from a project management standpoint? Their project management is wonderful. We were reluctant to try an external developer at first, but they managed themselves brilliantly. We use Jira to track issues, and they provide reports on everything they work on. They’re like a team member who works remotely. It’s hard to differentiate them from our internal team. What did you find most impressive about them? We are happiest about the quality of code they provide. They have no trouble building complex code and managing complicated integrations with third-party sources. It would be impossible to find this kind of quality in a local company for a comparable cost. Are there any areas they could improve? I have no complaints, and am very happy with the results. It would be great if they had a higher level of Spanish, and we occasionally had issues in English, but other than that, everything went wonderfully. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Work with them. In my experience, CTOs are often reluctant to externalize, but the room for improvement in your company is huge if you work with them. Plan what you want to accomplish and define what you need, and the experience will be awesome. --- #### Document Processing Solution for Transportation Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: July 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Using Python and Django, Idego Group built a custom application that could manage multiple transportation databases. The app allowed users to find nearby transport options based on their postal code. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CBDO, BF International - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 28, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Moving the database online increased employee efficiency and enabled the company to offer more accurate cost estimates. Idego Group set themselves apart through their accessible communication, quick deliveries, and friendly attitude. They were committed to exceptional customer service. "“We are now able to get things done more quickly, and we are more accurate with our quotations for clients.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. Our company is BF International. We are in the transportation business; we do full truck loading (FTL). We are based in Poland and provide domestic transport, export, and import. We mainly do waste transport and other products. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Idego Group? The transportation market is out of date, still documenting everything on paper. My business partner and I felt there was a need to digitalize the way we work. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? After finding Idego, we told them what we wanted to do, and we started to think of ideas of how to convert everything to digital and what could be done more efficiently. They came back to us with ideas about how to speed up our work on our databases. We subcontract the transport and have haulers who rent cars from us, and we have a large database. Each time we look for a car, for example from Warsaw to Berlin, we have to call 10 different companies to get the information from the market of how much it will cost and when they can load the trucks. This is a large amount of data, which can be used later. Idego came to us with the idea of preparing a simple application that can manage the data in a two-step process by entering the postal code of the area you want to load the transport and the location where you want to reload it. From the database, you would get the top three closest possible companies that provide transport from Warsaw to Berlin according to the historical data that we collected. It makes it easier for the people who work in transport who complete 10–15 transports daily. If they are connecting with 10 companies on each transport, the database expands. The application contains all the data, and I can easily fill in the postal code of one location to another and get the information that I need. Idego used Python and Django to develop the app. The app is very user-friendly. It is custom made and fits our needs well. What is the team dynamic? We had three people from their team working on this project. We worked mostly with Piotr [Owner of Idego Group], and we were also in contact with two specialists; one who worked on the interface, and the other worked on the mechanism and making sure that everything works. How did you come to work with Idego Group? We were looking for a local company that has innovative ideas. Their cost fit our budget, and the communication flow with Piotr was really good. We became close friends during the course of the project. How much have you invested in them? Their price was comparable to other firms in the market. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Idego in July 2017, and the relationship is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We are now able to get things done more quickly, and we are more accurate with our quotations for clients. We had been writing down everything in a notebook previously, which was easy to lose, and it’s hard to remember everything you write down. Everything is now in one place, and the data is available for everybody. Everyone is happy with the app. I can see the number of clients we can handle per day and per month is growing, which I believe is due to Idego’s contribution. How did Idego Group perform from a project management standpoint? We were in touch through email. We spoke on the phone at least once a week, and we also had meetings at least once a month regarding the progress of the project. What did you find most impressive about them? They fit our needs and were always available to answer any questions we had. Everything was scheduled, and we knew what they were doing. They updated us along the way, and they provided us with a high level of customer service. Are there any areas they could improve? It was luck that we found them even though they are in the same building as us. Something they could work on is marketing, as the only way I found them was by walking through our building. They should think about promoting themselves to get their brand name out. --- #### Web Development for Online Marketplace **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: **Project Summary**: Idego Group completed end-to-end development of an online marketplace platform, including the frontend, backend, and server maintenance.

I’m the founder and Chief Executive Officer of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What business challenge were you trying to address with Idego Group? We were in the process of transitioning from in-house to outsourced resources. We evaluated a number of companies for outsourcing and finally ended up working with Idego. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their involvement in greater detail. They helped us with the entire platform, everything from front end, back end, to server maintenance if needed. How did you come to work with Idego Group? The first reason we decided to go with them while evaluating a number of agencies was their great communication. We’ve outsourced before and have never really been satisfied. The second part was that our platform is built on the Django framework in Python, which Idego specializes in. It was clear that they are very skilled and have deep knowledge of those technologies, which was really important for us. The third thing was that they could deliver quickly. Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms? We have Idego Group on a monthly retainer. What is the status of this engagement? We are currently working with them. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement? They provide good development resources that work and can produce the things that we want. We have a pretty tight scope of the product, so we know in detail what we want. It can be challenging to produce that, but they’re doing a great job at it. How did Idego Group perform from a project management standpoint? They have done very well. The best example is today; it’s an international holiday, and they are still putting in at least half of a working day to get stuff done because we have a big release next week. They’re quick in response, transparent, and they’re easy to work with. What distinguishes Idego Group from other providers? We worked with outsourced resources before and bad communication can be very difficult and can mess up a project. They have consistently kept us in the loop. I’ve worked on projects where the team might know that what they are doing will create problems later and they don’t tell us. With Idego Group, we have a  transparent dialogue and are finding out stuff much quicker so that we can avoid problems as much as possible. Is there anything Idego Group could have improved or done differently? I would say no; we didn’t have any issues with Idego Group. --- #### Supplemental Web Development for Nutrition Startup **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: **Project Summary**: Idego Group provides two developers and a product manager to assist with overflow development projects.
