Intelivita

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm an account manager with a communications agency that specializes in education projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

We needed a developer to help us create an augmented reality app based on one of our client’s engineering projects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We did the design work, providing Intelivita with wireframes and documentation. They then built native versions for iOS and Android before assisting with submission to the App Store and Google Play.

What is the team dynamic?

We worked directly with a project manager who communicated our needs to their outsourced developers.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

We have developers we normally go to, but there was an availability issue. We found Intelivita through a Google search.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2017 and launched the app in December 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall, the quality of the finished app was great. We worked well together in terms of modeling and our designers were pleased with the end result.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated primarily via email, which wasn’t the most efficient method. Intelivita relied on outsourced developers. This was not made clear in the beginning and ended up causing frequent delays as our project manager had to receive answers from the development team before responding to our questions. This lack of responsiveness resulted in small mistakes along the way and ultimately slowed down the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed by the quality of the final product. They were also very flexible, quickly executing any changes we requested.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be helpful if they provided a clearly articulated schedule and improved their responsiveness.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of a mobile app development company that makes games for iOS, Android, Amazon and web.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

We had undertaken smaller projects, but we were trying to start a bigger one for a multiplayer game. We needed someone to complete the programming for us on that project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Intelivita undertook all of the programming, including mobile, servers, gameplay, etc. Unity allows us to develop for iOS, Android, Amazon, and web. We provided the specs, wireframes, and screenshots of everything we wanted, so they only had to reproduce the app from a programming perspective.

They also provided input on how to make the app better and some graphics, but we’d produced most of the graphics prior to their involvement.

What is the team composition?

Six to eight people from their side were involved at a minimum. There were also QA testers from their side; this is a great feature that many other services don’t offer. The team size depended on how involved each person was. Some were there for a couple of hours, while others were there for many months at a time.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

I heard about them through PeoplePerHour. I talked to around 30 companies prior to hiring Intelivita. We had a bigger project and, while other companies offered to do it, they didn’t have experience with games similar to the one we were working on. I spoke to a couple of Intelivita’s past clients who had good things to say about them. Overall, they were the most suitable out of all the companies we talked to.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost of their work has been $30,000–$35,000 or more with very clear specs and wireframes.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Intelivita in May 2016. Their part is almost complete. We’re still working on the effects and there will be other items afterward. We plan to continue working with them and have discussed our next project already.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I double-checked their source code with other high-end programmers in the field and the feedback has been very good. Clean code makes it easier for someone else to step in.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

They responded fast and were on task—usually via WhatsApp. I bugged them more than I should have, but they were professional and kept me informed of what was going on at all times. My experience with other developers is that it’s hard to have people and programming skills, but Intelivita nailed both.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dhaval is great at solving issues. No project is perfect, and this is okay, but I’ve appreciated Intelivita’s ability to deal with these situations professionally and to get things back on the right track. They’re able to take on much more challenging projects than many other companies out there. Intelivita was able to bring in different teams for different parts, which was great because we also had a need for server and game design expertise. Had I had to bring in other teams to work with each other, it would have been more challenging from my end. Much of this happened behind the scenes; I wasn’t aware when additional people were brought in when a skill set was needed. Their goal was to build a quality product, which I really liked.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We have continuously worked with Intelivita and given them feedback on issues. Having clear documents helps them perform better, and it is a team effort. For example, with the gameplay, my original approach was to build it, test it, and make tweaks. This was something that ended up taking more time because the gameplay wasn’t described clearly in my instructions. Providing GIF examples leads to a much better experience in working with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner and director of CluedUpp Games. We run citywide murder mystery games based on our mobile app.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

Our app was available on Android, but we wanted to develop an iOS version as well.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They developed an iOS version of our native Android app. Emphasis was placed on reproducing the app’s features and translating the full experience to iOS.

What is the team composition?

We spoke primarily with the project manager and on occasion, the lead developer.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

We were looking for developers on PeoplePerHour to fix bugs on the Android app. After receiving various proposals, we hired Intelivita. They performed that task well so we contracted them to develop the iOS version.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about £3,000 [$4,021].

What is the status of this engagement?

This project took place September 2017–November 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our users wanted the app on iOS for a long time and the feedback is evident of that. We’ve received a number of positive reviews on the App Store from users that say they’ve enjoyed the experience. A couple minor differences between the iOS and Android versions make the former easier to use than the latter.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

I've used a lot of web development companies over the last 20 years and the biggest challenge I find with them is not a lack of technical skills, but a lack of communication skills. However, I didn't have any issue in that regard while working with Intelivita. Being in the UK, their project manager was always available if I needed to call him. He often answered emails within an hour or two, but certainly within 24 hours and even on weekends. The lead developer and his team are based in India so we mostly communicated through the project manager. However, the lead developer assisted in solving specific development issues when necessary, via Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their geographically split team was beneficial in terms of cost, quality, and communication. The project being managed in the UK, we could easily speak with someone who understood our app and the experience we wanted to cultivate. However, the development costs weren’t astronomical because their team’s offshore.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of a specific area they could improve on. They offer a cost-effective service and I was happy with the experience.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

General advice for working with any company is to make sure the project details and scope are thorough and communicated effectively.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Chatagram is a social messaging app that is designed to be more visual. Users can personalize it according to their preference. I am the founder of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Intelivita?

I needed help with developing the first version of the app for iOS and Android.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to begin the process of market validation. I wanted to see how many users I could interest in downloading the app.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I came across Oliver Baker [iOS and Android Developer, Intelivita] on a website for programmers. We discussed my proposal via email, particularly what it would cost to build an MVP [minimum viable product]. The price seemed reasonable, but we only met a couple of months later to discuss the start of the app development.

Describe the project in detail.

I had already built the screenshots for the app, but there were additional features that were required. From there, it was just a matter of making sure that they understood what I wanted the app to look like.

What was the team composition?

I was assigned a project manager after meeting with Oliver.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They provide me with screenshots of the app design to make sure that they can proceed. They respond quickly to any issues.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It has been easy to communicate with their project manager. I check my emails a lot to make sure I don’t miss his messages. I usually respond quickly since I want to be sure they are on the right track.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I’ve noticed that they are quick to respond to changes required for the app. They let me know when there’s a problem with the app and send updates as soon as it’s fixed.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of a new, online art gallery that will be launched next year.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

We needed someone to create a mobile application for us. It was difficult to find someone who was cost-effective and also knew what they were doing with augmented reality.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I’m a graphic artist by trade, so I designed the frontend and user experience of the app. I gave the screenshot to Intelivita, and they did the code-level support and actual coding of the iOS and Android app.

They created an augmented reality, cross-platform app. It’s the first collage-style app where users can view images from their camera rolls or galleries on their phones. Users can create a collage and then view what it would look like prior to getting it printed at local stores.

They tested it and did the edits and changes, and then sent me back either screenshots or new builds. I’d download it on my phone, try it out, and give my feedback. It was a calibration exercise. They published the app for me, and also added Google AdMob, so we have advertisements on it as well (which users have the option to remove).

They’re developing another app for me as well.

What is the team composition?

There were 3–4 people on the team.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

I was working with another freelance app developer before I found Intelivita. He was a single developer working from home, and wasn’t very proactive in fulfilling work. I thought I would have to pay for the app to be developed again due to the difficulty of finding people willing to work on the same code.

I looked on a freelancing website and contacted Oliver [Project Manager, Intelivita]. I sent him some details and he said that it was something they’d love to work on. I found that Intelivita could provide a good level of service for us, and that they had everything we wanted at the right price. They were also willing to work on the already-existing code. I couldn’t have been happier.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent under £1,000 pounds [U.S. $1,335].

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June of 2017, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The feedback has been focused on the app’s innovative and unique qualities. It does what it promises. I’ve received suggestions, but no negative feedback.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed very well. We communicate through Skype. They’re really proactive and good at communication, as well as making suggestions. We experienced no issues, despite a time difference. They have offices in both the U.K. and India.

I’ve worked with companies in the far east before, and it wasn’t easy because of the time differences and language barriers. It was quite refreshing to find someone who worked well with me. I would use them again without question. I highly recommend them. They produce high-quality work at a good price. I have nothing but good things to say.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They know what they’re doing, and the communication is good. They always respond quickly. We were never left questioning anything.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. I’m very pleased with the service they’ve provided.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It may be a totally different experience for someone who doesn’t have graphic design capabilities, like myself. The only advice I can offer is to have some sort of sketch or Photoshop screenshot that they can utilize. Give as much information as possible, and it will save a lot of time and energy later on.

BACKGROUND

I’m the data manager of the University of Edinburgh.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

Intelivita has actualized our design for a research app that participants can use to sign up and take part in our biological sample study. Through the app, users can complete health trackers, answer various questionnaires, be sent biological sample kits to send back to us, and access additional media on relevant subjects. The team has provided us with a platform to conduct our research.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Intelivita.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

We found them through a referral. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, and their pricing fit our budget.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Intelivita has developed an app that can dynamically display research questions and support a participant through all stages of their research journey. We have over 2,000 users registered and using the app, with 1,400 completing study-related surveys and over 80 being invited to take samples. Additionally, we've received positive feedback about the app's usability and effectiveness.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps. Although the programming has taken longer than expected, Intelivita has been proactive in deploying the app.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Intelivita's graphic design team has been very comprehensive, contributing to the overall look of the app.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We would appreciate having more direct communication with the app programmers, although this has at times been affected by the language barrier. It may also help if meetings with the programmers were a little more structured and guided by Intelivita.

$15,00- $20,000

What is the status of this engagement?

Intelivita has been very helpful and promptly replies whenever we need help or have questions. In addition, we’ve been supported by the Hong Kong Cyberport for this project, which has provided funding as they believe the project has potential.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

They deliver on time. We communicate via virtual meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very detail-oriented and willing to make a lot of changes based on our demands.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they need to improve.
