Inventcolabs

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at an online food delivery company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

We needed someone to help us design, develop, and create a strategy for our startup business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs created a mobile app for us for Android and iOS using Flutter. They started by giving us a whole document with the timeline and what we could expect of the product they were about to build. Their team also gave us multiple ideas on what we could add to the platform and provided marketing services for the app.

Regarding functionalities, the product is a food delivery app where users can order, track their food, and get discounts and rewards for our app or other events.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 4–6 members of their team, including a project manager, a project lead, and a group of developers.

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

We found them online, along with a couple of other potential providers. We chose Inventcolabs for our project because we liked their website, they seemed more promising, and we thought they were more appropriate for our business model after a few initial meetings.

How much money have you invested in this partnership?

We invested around $15,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January–September 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Every time a situation arose, they came back to us with an immediate solution for everything.

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

We had weekly calls to review the project, ask them questions, and see where we were standing. They were also responsive to our inquiries, and we didn’t have any delays from their end. Regarding tools, we used Google Meet and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were open to taking feedback and making changes, and when their team couldn’t modify something, they gave us a good reason and explanation from their professional perspective.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn’t think there was anything they could improve on — working with them was a great experience.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend people working with them; they’re a responsive team that will complete their work on time, meeting their requirements.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the Co-Founder of Eclpse, a rewards app that rewards users for doing surveys, installing apps, and answering quizzes. Users can also redeem these rewards in the form of gift cards or cash.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

We needed help with developing our mobile app. We already had an app, but it hadn’t been built well and had a lot of bugs, so we needed a new one.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs helped us develop a new Android mobile app from scratch, using AWS and MySQL as part of the technology stack.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 9–10 members from Inventcolabs, including a project manager, a creative head, a designer, two web developers, an Android developer, a QA engineer, and two testers.

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

We found them on Google and contacted them through their website.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent roughly $32,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project in May of 2022 and completed it in the last week of August 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our old app was slow and had a lot of bugs. Thanks to Inventcolabs, our new app runs very fast, has a reliable database, and is bug-free.

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

Inventcolabs met the deadlines and managed the project well; they delivered assets every Friday without delay. Additionally, the project manager was very responsive and available. We communicated via WhatsApp, phone, and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Inventcolabs took the time to evaluate our old app’s UI and backend to figure out how to make the new one more efficient, which was impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, their work was perfect.

Any advice for potential customers?

Don't doubt assigning them a job because it will always be perfectly done.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an administrative officer at .emit, an e-commerce company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

For two years, our app crashed constantly, and we wasted money because our previous developer wasn’t good. We recently searched for new developers for our mobile app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs provides us with mobile app development. They’ve taken over our app and have redeveloped it. Our iOS app has been launched, and we’re currently waiting for the Android release. 

Within the app, customers can order what they want or need, and we deliver it. The app also supports our open cart policy where, if a customer wants to buy something that isn’t in our app, we can find it for them, buy it, and deliver it to them. 

What is the team composition?

I only deal with two teammates from Inventcolabs. 

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

We found them through a recommendation and thought they were great. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spend around $300 per 2–3 milestones. So far, we’ve spent less than $1,500. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Inventcolabs' work is great. Now, the application is finally working well after two years of waiting, and we can finally get back to work. We just relaunched the iOS app yesterday, so we're about to start measuring metrics again. Additionally, their pricing is good, and their team has good people.

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

They've provided us with a milestone list with the budget, and they meet deadlines accurately. We communicate through Zoom, WhatsApp, and email. They always have a prompt reply when we ask them something, and they contact us constantly. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Inventcolabs' biggest strength is their speed. I've been amazed by them; they've worked fast and have done the project perfectly. They've been able to redevelop the app in five months, whereas our previous vendor took over a year.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they're awesome. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Just trust Inventcolabs! They know what they're doing.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder of Pedal Locker, a company that offers bicycle storage solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

We have storage lockers throughout our city, and we needed an app to bring all of that together and give customers a comfortable and easy UX to book their locker and manage their orders seamlessly.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs provides us with mobile app development and web development. Initially, they were working on one mobile app. Then, I got an idea for another app, and we’ve put the first project on hold to focus on the second. For the second app, they first provided a scope with a timeline, cost associated, features, modules, the phases we should expect based on our requirements, and the technologies to be used. I gave them details of our business model and what I wanted the UX to be. 

From there, they began building the app for iOS and Android from scratch. The app allows users to book storage lockers and manage their orders; they can extend, cancel, swap, or share the locker with someone else. Customers can also manage items revolving around bicycles and find relevant products and services.

Although the app has been the main deliverable, Inventcolabs has also developed a promotional website with a few pages to give customers an idea of the features. The site walks users through registering, updating their profiles, and accessing items. Additionally, it contains our terms and conditions and privacy policy. 

What is the team composition?

Initially, I worked with the business development manager and the project leader. Now, I deal mainly with a project manager, and now and then, I deal with the business development manager for any required changes. 

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

I found them online, requested a consult, and got a call from their business development manager. We had an initial discussion where I told Inventcolabs our idea and what I expected from the app. They captured all of that information in a clear and structured way. Even though I looked at a few other companies, I chose Inventcolabs, not based on price or their portfolio, but on their understanding of the project, which was very important to me. 

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent $20,000. There’s an additional $5,000 for updates that I will be paying them in the next few weeks. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around January 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m very happy with the quality of Inventcolabs’ work, their staff, and their dedication to the project. The last thing I’d want to hear from a service provider is that they’re unavailable, and this team is available 24/7. They always answer our requests and concerns, so I’m comfortable with the engagement.

We measure their success based on the budget, the timeline, and flexibility with changes to the scope, and I’m happy with Inventcolabs’ performance in all three. They’ve stuck to the initial budget; there haven’t been any hidden fees. The team also respects and adheres to the timeline, and I receive weekly or daily updates depending on the importance of the milestone. Their team is also very flexible with changes. Since this is my first app, we both knew there were some things I may not have considered in the scope, and they’ve accommodated that within reason. 

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

They use Asana for project management. However, since I’m always on the go, it’s easier for me to pick up the phone or send a WhatsApp message to get updates. The team has accommodated my requirements while keeping their project management approach in check; Asana is constantly updated, and they also update me through the phone. We use Zoom whenever we have something important to discuss. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I appreciate that my discussions with Inventcolabs add value to the project. They don’t sit around listening to my requirements; they’re fully immersed in the idea and give suggestions and recommendations. The initial scoping exercise was important to find certain elements I had overlooked. The only reason I picked up on these was thanks to my discussion with the Inventcolabs team. Even though they weren’t the cheapest or the ones with the most extensive portfolio, their added value gave me the confidence to go with them from the start. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Everyone can improve, but I can’t think of anything the team needs to change at the moment.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The most important thing is the scoping exercise; as long as you give it its fair importance, you’ll have relatively smooth sailing with Inventcolabs. Spend the time discussing the app’s features with the business development team, and then read the scope document word for word to ensure a successful engagement.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO- Founder of shakerapp.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I hired Inventcolabs for development of a Deal Application. The idea was to offer local business deals to the mobile app users on the go which can connect business and their possible prospects.

SOLUTION

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

Trust, Transparency & sticking to commitment were the deciding factors for me this time. I already tried various providers globally, hence I was looking for someone who do have business experience and can consider this project as their own. Inventco’s brand has been established in a way that their product itself speaks about their quality. I even asked for various references and I spoke with them to be assured that I am selecting the right factor.

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

So they developed a Deal Shaking experience that has Mobile Phone & Watch compatible applications. The solution gives you local nearby deals based on your current location. The interesting feature was to shake your phone or your watch and a new deal will be unlocked for you. The had a clear approach mentioned from the day one and they followed it like bible at every step. That is what it makes them different. I was provided with well documented code files and all design stuff along with database diary I exclusively requested for.

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

I essentially worked with a team of 6-8. My original point of contact was Jitendra from business team. He is the Co-founder of the company. Then Sandeep from Project Management came into picture and there was a Team lead who developed the core of the project in Flutter. Creative head, tester & QA – they all came in at different stage of project. My most communication was through mails and weekly standup meeting.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

A well connected bug-less platform – that’s how I count the success of my investment. Indeed a great project and their suggestions exceeded my expectations with the platform. Highly impressed.

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

We followed Hybrid model of development i.e. Waterfall + Agile. Hence I had best of both worlds and I could define – further refine, my requirements at each stage to get the desired product. It went a bit elevated from cost perspective – but I am satisfied with the output. They used Slack for communication, Trello to check current development going on and Mantis for bug tracking.

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

I think their thrive and thirst to do something better made this company unique. I remember instances where even after my approval they went back stage and came up with something even more awe-inspiring. They are just a group of crazy, young people with hunger to success.

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

In the first place, looking at my overall experience – NO.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of operations at a pharmaceutical company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

We decided to develop an app for medication delivery services. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we thought this app would be essential for us to provide services to our community. It could ease the process of getting their medications on time. Rather than going around on foot, users could use the app to avoid getting exposed to the virus. Inventcolabs helped us develop this app. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs started working with us by learning about our requirements and expectations. We checked similar apps in the market to know where we could improve. 

From there, they’ve developed the app for various platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop. We’re in the final stages of launching the app. They’re already done with the edits, and we’ll be launching the product next month. 

What is the team composition?

My primary point of contact is Sandeep (Technical Consultant), who serves as our project manager. We sometimes get in touch with their software developer and IT engineers to figure out technicalities together.

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

We found Inventcolabs through another pharmacy in Saudi Arabia. They provided positive feedback for Inventcolabs, which made us excited to work with them. That was how our engagement started. 

How much have you invested with them?

Our investment has been around $20,000–$30,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve had a great partnership with Inventcolabs. They’re always fast and responsive; delays come from our side. Moreover, whenever we have any required edits, they deliver within the same day. 

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate through emails and WhatsApp. Sometimes, we need to send voice records to explain some things. We also sometimes use Zoom calls.

What did you find most impressive about them? 

They’re truly proactive and eager to move things forward. They want us to launch as soon as possible because they believe that our app is great. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

The app is available in Arabic and English. The English version is perfect, but we have to interfere a lot when it comes to the Arabic translation. Other than that, everything has been great.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the manager of a blockchain company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

Our challenge was to make our project stand up against its competition and be as good as or better than other successful blockchain projects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs did mobile app development for us using Flutter. We had several discussions with my team and Inventcolabs to figure out the right technologies to use to guarantee that the project would work smoothly.

The app is a cryptocurrency wallet with a better UI and more flexibility for finding information than other apps. It also has information on the latest news and updates on crypto markets and a flexible and seamless UI.

The platform is available for iOS, Android, and desktop devices.

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

I have some connections that had experience with Inventcolabs. They suggested them to me, so I sent Inventcolabs an email asking them about their services. They responded quickly and gave me very competitive pricing compared to what other companies were charging.

I chose them for my project because I felt comfortable with them despite being abroad, and they’re always available, even during the weekend. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $22,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

I’ve been working with them since November 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. We’re now going into phase two in the upcoming days, which will involve developing the website and its integration with our mobile apps.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After going live, they offered three months of free support, and they also offered to send the source code in case I wanted to store it in the cloud. Overall, they've been agreeable to anything we ask of them, whether we need proof of work or sign an NDA. They do exactly what their clients ask of them.

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

We used an Excel sheet to create the proposal for the project. They’re also using Adobe XD for sharing the UI with us. Regarding communication, we use Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very transparent and give full visibility into the project costs, providing the best way to do it at a low price. For example, I wanted them to develop the apps natively. Still, they let me know that using a native programming language would be more expensive, and they offered something cost-effective.

Overall, they study our project to give us the best performance, better than what we expect. They don’t just want to take our money; they’re working on getting continuity with us.

In addition to that, their team stays updated on the newest technologies, and if there’s a new feature in the industry, they wait and ensure that it works perfectly before offering it to us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to plan your entire project. If you don’t have enough information, that could be a problem because they do exactly what you ask and will follow your instructions step by step. They’re great with time management and have competitive prices while delivering great performance, but you have to be very thorough with the information you provide them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of step logic, a tobacco manufacturing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

We needed help in developing a mobile app for our business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventcolabs is developing our mobile app using cross-platform technologies like Flutter, but they generally offer different technology options. They first studied what we wanted to create and suggested multiple options, broken down by pricing and timeframes.

We started with a web version and later converted that into iOS and Android apps. After that, they built a bespoke targeting algorithm. Overall, the app is different from others on the market and Inventcolabs custom-made it to fit my goals, which are standard API integrations with Google and similar platforms.

What is the team composition?

I’ve dealt with four people from their team, including a data analyst and Sandeep (Technical Consultant).

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

Because of our work, we have connections in Dubai. Inventcolabs was referred to me by one of those connections who worked with them in the past.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent almost $15,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Inventcolabs in August 2021, and it’s ongoing. Our first project was the web app, and we’re developing the mobile apps now.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Building the algorithm was a huge achievement. Also, we faced some bugs during development, but they fixed everything by the time we deployed the app.

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

In terms of communication, we use Zoom, WhatsApp, and emails.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their pricing is outstanding; we looked at other providers, and the amounts asked were too big compared to what we’re paying Inventcolabs now.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't think there's anything they can improve on — it feels like they’re working on their own project. We’ve had many issues, and they were our fault, but Inventcolabs didn’t mention it. They keep working without asking for additional fees — Inventcolabs cares about the relationship and wants to keep it long-term.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Give Inventcolabs all the information they need and ensure that the proposal is complete.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Lynkhub, an app for small business owners and people who want to start small businesses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

The app had a messaging feature that was full of bugs. We needed to redevelop it completely.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We reached out to Inventcolabs to review the code and see if they could fix it. We sat down, gave them the code, and signed the contract. Then, they developed the message feature for iOS and Android using Flutter.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Sandeep (Technical Consultant) and another person.

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

We found them on Google. We sent an email, and they responded. Then, we explained everything on a Zoom call. It was very simple.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $740.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in March 2022, and the project took less than three weeks. We’re taking a pause, but we plan on working with them again.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We haven’t launched the app yet, but we’re satisfied with their work. The messaging feature works perfectly now. Before, it had significant delays and issues with the notifications, but they solved all of them; the messages are instantly delivered. We tested the app after they finished, and it went pretty well.

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

They were excellent. We’ve worked with many freelancers and development companies before, but Inventcolabs was superior in communication. They understood what we said and gave suggestions. Overall, they cared about how the project would turn out.

We communicated through WhatsApp, and they were available every time we texted. Also, we had a couple of Zoom calls and emails in the beginning.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their software development and communication skills were their strongest points.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t think so.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a digital wallet service in the field of AI and machine learning.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventcolabs?

Over the years, I’ve tried to analyze how people spend money on a day-to-day basis. In understanding these patterns, I wanted to create a way to help people create wealth. I partnered with Inventcolabs to build out the solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We provided some documentation in the beginning, but Jitendra (Business Development Manager) handled everything, took the lead, and initiated discussions around the solution. I understand technology processing but I’m not knowledgeable on certain business functionalities and rules, so that’s where they came in and saved the day. 

Inventcolabs proceeded to develop the system and its entire concept, including the admin processing aspect. The final product was a mobile platform that connects to an onsite extension whether it be a laptop or an iPad. We named this app Hubwallet.

Our product is basically a digital payment platform that enables account holders to earn money in South Africa and transfer it through the system. Users can also buy food or extract money from local shops using the tokens that they earn on the platform.

Our intention is to explore international markets as well, but currently, the app is just geared for African markets. We’re specifically targeting foreign workers in South Africa who have families abroad. We intend for them to use our smartcard digital payment solution to send tokens to their families.

What is the team composition?

I’ve mostly dealt with Jitendra but there have been around 10–40 people involved at different stages of the project. Jitendra basically acted as project manager.

How did you come to work with Inventcolabs?

I looked around on search engines and sent out a request with my objectives. Inventcolabs responded, so we maintained back-and-forth communication. I saw that their work and designs were quite brilliant, so I reached out to references. Once I confirmed that they have vision, passion, and initiative in what they do, I decided to hire them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $35,000 on their work. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership began around August–September 2021, and we’re still working together.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve received very positive feedback for the product. Bugs and crashes are inevitable, but Inventcolabs has been brilliant at addressing any issues. 

I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and I find that their team shares the same mentality. They take their time in analyzing and providing clear solutions, and whatever they end up proposing is something that I can immediately understand. We got a lot of value for the cost

How did Inventcolabs perform from a project management standpoint?

If I had to rate them between 1 and 5 in terms of meeting budgets, schedules, and deadlines, I’d give them a 65. They excel in their services and deliveries. They’ve also provided all of the necessary and relevant CRMs, which has enabled me to draw and analyze different reports. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re most impressed with their punctuality and the quality of their work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they know exactly what they’re supposed to do.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give their proposals a chance. Trust that they’re not after your money and will actually want to help make your processes easier.
