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

The project was to deliver an initial version of an iOS mobile App. The App was intended to be rolled out to a small team of Site surveyors and Managers to help them in their day-to-day jobs. The primary focus of the App was to remove the need to fill out paper based forms when reviewing and inspecting new houses being built.

The current business process was creating ~500 paper forms a week, and it was envisaged the new app could remove the vast majority of those. Molfar took a high level functional design and turned that into a detailed UX Design and Mobile App design which was approved by the client.

Through a series of one-week sprints the team then iterated the development through to completion, releasing regularly via TestFlight to gather user feedback. Throughout the project Molfar regularly came forward with suggestions on how to improve the functionality and user experience, which was gratefully received by the client.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Initial deliverable was a document UX Design. Then the delivery of the Mobile App to Test Flight.

Molfar delivered ahead of schedule by a few sprints, and were able to include additional scope at times throughout the project.

What was your primary form of communication with molfar.io?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

For this project we started with quite a detailed design already done, and with some pretty clear views from the client on what they wanted. What was impressive about Moflar was that they still came forward regularly to challenge the orginal design and thinking with proposals for how they felt it could be done better. They brought experience and best practices to the table and offered real value above and beyond simply being a delivery partner.

Are there any areas for improvement or something molfar.io could have done differently?

No, I would definitely work with them again.

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

We have been impressed with Molfar's flexibility regarding the project. They were happy to get started on an MVP basis, keeping the system simple and evolving it as requirements were established. Our device has been through several iterations in parallel with this project causing new requirements to emerge. 

We provided them with prototype hardware simulators and eventually device hardware to test their system. They have accommodated a lot of back and forward communication with this, shipping, new firmware versions etc on device.

What was your primary form of communication with molfar.io?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Molfar understand MVP and are proactive about finding simple, cost effective methods to satisfy the requirements. They are good communicators, happy to jump on a phonecall, or respond to Whatsapp in a timely manner. Overall, they are very pleasant to deal with. They are very flexible and genuinely engaged as a development partner.

Are there any areas for improvement or something molfar.io could have done differently?

We could have sent them device hardware sooner, this could have avoided some delays, our fault not theirs! They have separate front and back end teams, communication is good, however the front end team have been slightly more responsive to urgent issues/requests.

molfar.io supported our internal team with the development of our mobile applications. These apps allow users to request and book dual electric vehicle charging sessions from their phones. 
We did the project scoping and wireframing, while their team developed everything based on our visual designs. They now provide ongoing bug fixes and maintenance as part of our deal. 
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with a product manager, the main backend developer, and several frontend architects. 
How did you come to work with molfar.io?
They were recommended by some members of our team, so I looked into their ratings and reviews across different platforms. That assured me that I could give this work to them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested more than $25,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together for almost a year, since around January 2021. Our contract is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We are very happy with molfar.io’s work. They are a pretty hands-on team, and they’ve done a great job of developing everything based on our wireframes and designs. Our applications are now live and downloadable from the app stores.

What did you find most impressive about them?
Their team comprises of very sharp people; they quickly understand our requirements and proactively provide suggestions to optimize the cost. I find that very valuable. 
Are there any areas they could improve?
We almost always go above our budget limits, and these could be due to us constantly going back to their team to have something fixed or enhanced. I think they should also shut us down when it comes to that so that we can also stay within budget. 
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have a clear definition of your project’s focal point. Having a good upfront alignment on the requirements will allow the company you’re working with to provide the best estimates, designs, and meeting schedules. Also, have your internal team do some due diligence so that the frequency of your back-and-forth discussions with the company can be reduced.

SOLUTION

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

It was refreshing for me - because it allowed me to focus on other aspects of the company while they focused on the app development.

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

No. They were great. I look forward to continuing working with them in the future.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was unsure if a company that I found on Fiverr could deliver high-quality work because the price range of other companies is much higher for the same visual quality.  Not only they did deliver, but they delivered at a level that far exceeded the amount of money that I feel they're worth.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not that I can think of.

Any advice for potential customers?

If someone is looking for a guaranteed result, high quality, without all the stress that goes into it, I would give them the call. Also, the more specific you are, the better they'll be able to deliver.
