Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was never an issue, with a 4 week time line to plan, build and deliver a web app MVP; they completed within 3 weeks. In the final week (around christmas) they were on meetings working with us to get the final tweaks completed to ensure all areas were ready for a Q1 launch. They continue to do this on the expansive work we have on going 

What was your primary form of communication with Kodeful?

Virtual Meeting

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

Time to build - They launched a highly poweful MVP product in a fraction of the time every other comany said they could

Pre build scope - it took one extensive meeting to get everything they needed in order to build our MVP, this enabled them to get their work done without waiting on us for feedback loops during the process

Market understanding - they just get it, they see the fit and placement. As a customer of ours, they were able to adapt the platform in the eyes of a genuine customer and how they would want to experience this. 

Speed overall - Their time to respond on slack, their time to build projects, time to fix bugs. It is second to none 

Strategy - have a great long term play in mind and they are able to help us continually plan three steps ahead

Client engagement - always available and nothing is too much to ask 

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

none

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work included:

1. Consultation with Kodeful’s development team and product ideation (we presented what we wanted to achieve and what type of data we would need, and then we had multiple sessions with Kodeful’s development team iterating the possible solutions and new features)
2. After we identified the core functionality of our new software (imitating the user interaction on Google via browser, activating Google’s new Generative AI functionality, scraping the data from the source code, connecting to the servers, etc.), the Kodeful team started developing MVP.
3. MVP was done fairly quickly, within the 3 weeks. 
4. Our team tested the software via Web App on Vercel. With minor improvements and iterations, after analyzing 10,000 data points (keywords scraped) we finally started the experimentation.
5. After about 50,000 keywords were analyzed and tested, we needed to scale the research as demand for it increased. The Kodeful team successfully added more servers and we continued the process seamlessly. 
6. Finally, 2 months after the MVP launch, we finished our research, analyzing over 100,000 keywords across 7 verticals, with the most important information regarding the new AI Overviews features. 
7. With Kodeful’s help, we were able to create one of the most comprehensive research studies on SGE (Search Generative Experience), and we are very grateful to have them as our software development partners. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

1. We successfully created more than 50 reports for over 100,000 keywords. 
2. The level of detail for our reports was amazing, allowing us to seamlessly analyze data using Phyton scrips and generate great visualizations. 
3. The team was very responsive to all of our requests. 
4. We successfully scaled the number of scraped keywords per day, allowing us to scrape more than 1,000 keywords a day.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The communication was mainly on Slack and via online meetings. After each of my requests, they proposed a timeline for when I could expect the finished MVP/the specific feature that we needed. 

Many times, I had a specific request, and wrote it as a message directly to the Kodeful team, and after they reviewed it, I always got a specific answer or whether something was possible to be implemented or not. 

What was your primary form of communication with Kodeful?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their focus on the exact technology we wanted to incorporate within our own product (web scraping). 

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

No, the Kodeful team outperformed our expectations, and we are very satisfied with their team.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Scope of work includes:

• building two complex web apps that have separate backends
• a mobile app for both iOS and Android that would:
  • need to work on both mobile phones and tablet devices
  • work both in portrait and landscape orientation
  • that has an offline mode
  • real time communication
  • that connects to a third party bluetooth device in order to be able to integrally synchronize with the ECM of the motor vehicle.

While doing all this developers needed to follow 440 page long requirements document provided by regulatory body, as well as my (customers) requirements about the features not scoped by regulatory body.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The measurable outcome is the number of motor carriers in USA who are choosing our ELD solution for their fleet, which is measured by the hundreds.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Timeliness was not one of the priorities for us, but the quality instead, since the potential bugs in the software could've had real life impact both on motor carriers and the drivers. But regardless, every feature that was expected to take more time than the certain amount of time that we agreed on in the beggining was clearly communicated to us and delivered in time afterwards.
