BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder of a startup in the construction equipment management space. I lead all technical operations, including managing engineering resources and data analytics.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Lampa?

We hired Lampa to build a companion mobile application to our core web application. Since we are in the construction space, many of our users split their time between the office and a jobsite, so they needed a way to access many of the core jobsite services through a mobile app.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to build an MVP in Flutter which we could bring to market alongside our core product launch in Q1 of 2021. This application needed to preserve the design aesthetic of the web app but also interact seamlessly with our backend API solutions.

SOLUTION

How did you select Lampa?

We solicited offers for a fixed-bid project from about 20 different vendors, and narrowed it down to 5 or so which were within our price range and had developed similar applications in Flutter previously.

We interviewed each of the 5 final vendors, ultimately selecting Lampa because we believed they had the right combination of development skill, pricing, and collaborative operations (we were building an MVP pre-GTM, so we expected a lot of scope creep and modifications).

Describe the project in detail.

The overall scope was to take our high fidelity designs (marvelapp), our API infrastructure (Swagger docs), and requirements (waterfall style) and create the functional MVP. The business provided high fidelity wireframes and designs twice, once using Marvelapp and once in Figma. There were also extensive requirements documentation.

What was the team composition?

There were 3 people primarily involved in the project from Lampa's side - 1 manager/sales leader, 1 project manager, and 1 primary developer. I believe Lampa utilized several QA analysts and potentially a designer in our first milestone, but I never communicated with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although the project ran 2 months past deadline (mostly due to delays and scope creep on our end), the app was finally deployed to the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store in early March. We are still in the midst of go to market for our product, so it's too early to put any KPIs against it performance-wise.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflow with the development team was wonderful. I had no trouble reaching out to and coordinating with their primary developer, who was very responsive and very good.

We used a combination of Jira, Google Drive (Sheets, Docs), and Loom for communication regarding the project. We utilized Swagger Docs as a primary provider of structure API queries for testing. Generally no problems with response to feedback, and no language barrier or time difference issues.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They were very collaborative and very open to discussion. This was my first time building a mobile application, and the team was great at making UX recommendations to improve our initial designs.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The only area where I would have liked more would be on the project management side, with a little more pro-active management of deadlines and deliverables. That being said, many of the delays were caused on our end so I don't fault it too much.
