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

It's hard for me to say whether these improvements should apply to Keenethics or the IT market in general. But I would like more accurate forecasting of product development. To be objective, of course my product is complex and Keenethics did a great job.

BACKGROUND

I’m the founder and sole employee of Crest SaaS, a proprietary software product for the oil and gas industry. I use my product for consulting.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Keenethics?

Keenethics helped me develop my custom software.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

My software product required five different modules. My former developer had helped me build the first three, but they required more capabilities. Thus, Keenethics has come in to finish the fourth and fifth modules of my software.

Their team has also cleaned up some of the other three modules that needed to be fixed. As for the technology stack, Keenethics has used JavaScript on the frontend and C++ on the backend.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with one developer and one project manager from Keenethics.

How did you come to work with Keenethics?

My former software developer recommended them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

O-Planto is a central repository for manufacturing instructions, the place to build, manufacture and optimize a product. O-Planto integrates with most numerical control machinery that is used to build novel products. O-Planto platform provides tools to collaborate on creating the right instructions, collects and analyzes quality assurance data, and uses AI to improve production processes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I hired KeenEthics to develop the website for my startup Optimus Planto. KeenEthics team is responsible for the creation of a web platform for OPtanto from scratch. They develop the front end and back end and create a design. KeenEthics also tests the functionality and implements new features into the platform. The work is in progress now.

SOLUTION

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

I went for a coffee with Max Savonin, KeenEthics CEO, after friend recommendation. He was on a business trip in the Netherlands at that time. Max and I started a conversation about software and realized that we look in the same direction. Both of us wanted to create products that bring value for users and have a global purpose. Max liked the idea for Oplanto, and soon we became business partners.

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

We base our work on Scrum methodology. We have 1-week sprints, which is enough for me to make sure that the work runs smoothly. The project requires developers to use many technologies. These are Node.js, NestJS, Angular, PostgreSQL, TS, EC2, S3, JS. We want to enrich the platform with interesting features. The development is ongoing.

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

I hired a team of 3. There is 1 developer responsible for building the front end and back end, 1 designer, and 1 QA specialist. At some point, we also temporarily added one more developer since help with the front end was needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The work is in progress now. The main website’s features are already built. Recently, we’ve added the function of creating a user's page and creating protocols. The main functionality is ready, and now we are looking for ways to allow users to make payments and print protocols out.

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

The workflow and the communication with KeenEthics are great. Each week, we have a call where we discuss the results of our week-long work. We also talk about our plans for the next week in order to organize the work process effectively. And if there are some problems on our way, we also try to solve them together. If needed, I also contact the developer directly.

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

The greatest thing about KeenEthics is that this company is all about ideas. They do not strive for money only. These people aim to make a difference in the software world. They promote ethical values and show others how to meet Tech4Good demands. They were so excited by how new technologies can be used for the common good that they even asked me for an interview that was published on their blog. It has been a pleasure to work with them.

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

The main problem with the project is the limited budget. I would like to afford having more developers in a team to boost the pace of work.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a co-founder at Relokia – a company providing software development, web analytics, and business development services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Keenethics?

In order to optimize business processes in our company, we decided to develop a CRM platform, which would help better organize and process all the information and data.

What were your goals for this project?

The platform had to feature a number of complex functions and, at the same time, work swiftly, efficiently, and effectively. Another important requirement was to make the interface responsive and intuitively clear so we could facilitate the training process for our new employees. Also, the amount of data processed was going to be immense, so we needed this platform to be reliable and secure.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We have been cooperating with KeenEthics for quite a long period of time already, and we are well-aware of their proficiency.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The CRM platform had to feature a number of instruments for managing customer interactions and analyzing customer data.

What was the team composition?

The team consisted of an approachable project manager, one expert UI/UX designer, two professional full-stack developers, and a great QA specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The platform functions perfectly without errors. The interface and functionality fully meet our expectations.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

KeenEthics provided us with full-cycle software development services. As we transitioned from research, through design, development, and testing, to deployment, we experienced no problems or delays.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most impressive part about working with Keenethics is their openness and transparency. They are willing to communicate and to devote themselves to the needs of your project. You do not feel manipulated or lured into additional expenses while working with KeenEthics as it sometimes can be with other profit-centered companies.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything was fine.
