Intellify has been our mobile app development partner and the team at The Intellify has also engaged in AI driven components related to ongoing processes of our business.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We replaced several disconnected third-party tools with one secure, HIPAA-aligned platform. Members now access claims, ID cards and Direct Primary Care from the app, adoption has grown steadily, and our team manages content and products without developers.

Intellify's project management is communicative and responsive. They do a great job of maintaining a firm grip on status and deliverables. The team at The Intellify has been prompt in terms of deliverables and shipped bug fixes and required adjustments quickly.

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

Their knowledge of the development process is clear. They have been a trusted partner in the mobile development space for us since we elected to take on this project. We have every confidence in them.

The only critique we would have for Intellify is that they can be too eager to begin work items - this has triggered regression or re-working an item on a very small number of occasions.

We hired The Intellify to take over, stabilize and rebuild the Dine Savvy mobile apps after a previous developer left them in poor condition, and then to keep expanding the platform. The work ran in stages:

1. UI/UX design - redesigned the diner and restaurant flows in Figma and Adobe XD so both sides could use the app without training.
2.  iOS and Android development - rebuilt the Dine Savvy customer app and built the merchant app in Flutter, on a Java and Postgres backend.
3. Website and admin panel - a consumer site that drives app downloads, plus a backend admin for payment-gateway integration, alerts and content updates. 
4. Feature build-out - table reservations, Dine-In Dash (order and pay before you're seated), the Nudge follower-engagement channel, loyalty and subscription tiers, and Square POS integration.
5. QA and store deployment - full testing and debugging cycle, then release to the App Store and Google Play.
6. AI consulting and enablement - roadmap sessions on where AI adds value for a curated dining platform, followed by the first AI-driven features - Content Generation and Social Media Posting, and smarter Nudge targeting.
7. Post-deployment support - ongoing maintenance and new feature releases; the engagement is still active. 

Key deliverables: Dine Savvy customer app (iOS/Android), Dine Savvy merchant app, web admin panel, consumer website, Square POS integration, and the AI roadmap with the first AI-powered features.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

When we started with The Intellify, we had an app we couldn't ship. Today Dine Savvy is live on the App Store and Google Play, operating in Austin with a growing network of curated venues, an engaged base of followers and a steady flow of verified visits. The crashes and store rejections that plagued the old build are gone, and the platform they rebuilt has been stable enough for us to add Nudges, Quests and brand-sponsored tastings on top of it without rework. Diners responded well to the relaunched app from the first release, and merchants onboard themselves without hand-holding, which is why, three years on, The Intellify is still our development partner.

We worked in bi-weekly sprints with a dedicated project manager. Communication ran over Slack, with regular demo builds so we could test on real devices before anything went to the stores. They hit their milestones, and when we changed priorities - which happens constantly at a startup - they re-planned rather than pushed back. Timezone overlap between our US and their India team was never a problem; we always had someone responsive during our working hours.

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

They inherited someone else's messy codebase and didn't just patch it - they understood the product vision and improved it. Their patience with an evolving, founder-driven roadmap and their ability to build a two-sided marketplace (diner app, merchant app, admin, POS integration) with one small team stood out. So followed their AI advice: instead of pitching AI for its own sake, they helped us pick the two or three places where it actually improves a diner's night out and built those first.

Early on, documentation of what they'd changed in the legacy code could have been more detailed; that improved once we asked for release notes with each build.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of the company Itihaas Now LLC. My company is on a mission to re-create past architecture and people in AR to enable its users to relive the past.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Intellify, and what were your goals?

I wanted to seek Intellify's help in creating a mobile app for both Android & iOS. The app will augment old architectural structures along with important historical figures. Intellify fully created the 3D models from scratch and integrated them with the mobile apps. Intellify also helped me with a website creation for my company.

SOLUTION

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

I was looking for companies that had good experience with Unity. I shortlisted to 4 companies based on Upwork & 3rd party reviews along with what they had to offer. I had multiple meetings as well with all companies. Intellify gave a solution within budget along with maximum confidence that they can do it!!

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

They created a AR mobile app that would augment how old historical monuments could have looked like 500 years ago. I gave them some sketches and concepts of how it could have looked it and Intellify did a brilliant job of creating those models.

When it came to historical figures like King or Queen, Intellify were able to use the concepts/guidance based on the information I provided. Once the models went through multiple iterations of tweaks, they were seamlessly integrated into the mobile app.

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

A project manager was the main point of contact throughout the project. I was also briefly in touch with one of its founders. They have always been easy to reach. All project requirements were documented in Active Collab platform.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app has created a lot of interest in people who are trying to look back at India's rich history. Even though this is a proof of concept app with limited content, the app has raised the quality bar for next generation mobile AR apps.

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

During development project, I had 2 calls every week with the project manager to discuss updates. All requirements were documented in Active Collab platform also. Anytime there is a chance of getting delayed, I always got clear feedback from the project manager.

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

High quality Unity experience and very good 3d model generating capacity. The cost is slightly higher but the quality is great!!

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

I had to reschedule a few weekly calls. If I was in the same time zone, it could have been okay. But since I was 12.5 hrs behind, some days it got difficult to accomodate that. But they have been open communication at all times.

The deliverables were exactly what we were looking for. The end product fully met our expectations, the process was easy and everything was completed on time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a multimedia AR and VR printing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with The Intellify?

We wanted to create software that would allow us to create a backend capability. We also wanted to manage the media that would be displayed in a front-end application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The Intellify is building out 11 different modules for our end-user iOS and Android app. These include an e-commerce module so the user can purchase products through the app. It also includes AR/VR, where a 3D model would pop off a book page.

Additionally, they’re creating a mixed reality module to allow a user to have a 3D module pop up in the real-world space. There are also different modules where it looks like different props are painted on a user’s face. A user can access these different modules when they scan a QR code.

On the administrator side, they built a web-based tool that allows us to upload all of the different media users are going to see.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager and someone from their development team as needed.

How did you come to work with The Intellify?

I originally found them on Upwork. After going through their website and looking at some of the things they’ve built in the past, they looked like a good fit. We spoke with them on the phone, and they were extremely knowledgeable about the industry and the AR/VR elements that we wanted to include.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $26,000–$27,000 already. Phase two will be $15,000–$20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020, and our work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re still in the process of uploading all of our media for one of the books. We have shown the functionality to stakeholders, and we’ve gotten excellent reviews.

How did The Intellify perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re great at meeting milestones. We have tracking spreadsheets in Google to document issues I’ve come across. They let me know when they fix it, and what they did to fix it. It’s been a great process for us. Their team uses ActiveCollab for project management. We also meet via Zoom twice a week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their willingness to adapt really stands out; whether it’s the time of day that we’re meeting or them responding at odd hours, they’re thorough in documenting what we need to accomplish. They’ve gone above and beyond.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. It would be nice if they weren’t so far away from us, but they handle that very well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

We’ve had a clear vision of what we wanted from the start, which has made everything easier for them.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Intellify, and what were your goals?

VINTANA automated 3D and AR e-commerce, but our clients also want to leverage those 3D files across Snapchat. The Intellify helped us create multiple shoe try-on Snapchat lenses.

SOLUTION

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

They reached out to us via email and I set up a call to learn more about the work and experience. I asked them to send sample Snapchat lenses they had built and then hired them for one initial test which went great.

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

They created multiple Snapchat lenses. We provided 3D models, but they had to make edits to the models in order for the Snapchat try-on functionality to work. They then created the filters so a user could hold up their phone and see 3D shoes overlaid over their feet.

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

I have one main point person who was very responsive and clearly communicated any changes we needed to their team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Their speed in creating the Snap lens draft, taking our feedback, and turning around updates quickly was impressive.

They were great!

We selected The Intellify first and foremost because of the quality of their past work and the clarity with which they communicated with me. They were very transparent about costs and extremely communicative about any changes to the timeline we had formulated. The level of professionalism from our very first encounter was very high and it was easy to feel trust in their company as a unit as well as in the individuals with whom I was communicating.

The online exhibit of the artwork has enabled hundreds of people to see and experience the work who would otherwise be unable to in this time of great uncertainty and quarantine. The team at The Intellify delivered above and beyond in quality and timeliness and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from digital visitors.

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

During development, wee had weekly meetings via Zoom with the project manager and developers. The Intellify also uses Active Collab as a tool to communicate any questions, meeting notes, and delays, which made it very easy to streamline troubleshooting. We also had email communication outside of Zoom and Active Collab. I always felt that if I sent a question or request I could trust it would be handled swiftly.

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

We were most impressed with The Intellify 's global reach and experience. It is clear through their organization, past work, and communication style that they are adept at working with many different kinds of clients from all over the world. Working for an artist who puts globalization and the exchange of culture at the forefront of his practice, it was great to see those same ideals reflected back to me from The Intellify team.

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

The Intellify team consistently stayed one step ahead of any potential issue, as such there is nothing I feel they need to improve upon.

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

They were using a Project Management tool called Basecamp where all the communication was happening. The communication was pretty smooth and clear and they achieved the required timeline.

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

We were impressed with their business and how patient they were with our team. Lacking knowledge, in AR and app development, they educated and work diligently with each of us.
