BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We're a biotech company strongly active in the agro-food industry. Since its foundation in 1997, we have been developing rapid testing solutions for the food security. We have built a strong expertise in the detection of contaminants by means of a unique multiplexing approach.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Newsoft?

To commercialize a new product, we needed a Android application to ease the use of our new device. The main problem was the lack of documentation of the protocol to be able to interface the device with the phone.

What were your goals for this project?

The main goal was to connect the device with the rest of the world and especially with our servers collecting the data. The device was used through an old Windows software and linked to a computer with a USB cable. We wanted to ease the use of the device by allowing the user to control it with its smartphone through a BlueTooth connection.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were looking for a Ukrainian software freelancer on a well-known website because we were already working with a Ukrainian. And by luck, we found out a great professional software engineer working quickly while meeting all our requirements (even if the project was kind of obscure at the beginning but he was very adaptive).

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

He designed and developed a complete Android application using Kotlin and communicating perfectly with our device through Bluetooth or USB. The application is very responsive and easy to use.

What was the team composition?

There was only one software engineer but he did all the job very efficiently. I was the project leader and was telling him what to do but he was also very proactive by proposing many changes which was beneficial to the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were able to launch our product and acquire more clients because our device was ahead of the concurrency because of the newly developed application.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

It was a one person project but he managed it very efficiently and very professionally.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was very impressed by the proactiveness, flexibility, and ability to work quickly while delivering quality code.

Are there any areas for improvement?

While there is always room for improvement, I can't see one are in particular.
