⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phenomenal Dev Team Behind The Tribal App

Working with Next Big Technology development team on The Tribal App has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, they’ve demonstrated not only technical excellence, but also an unmatched level of passion, dedication, and problem-solving finesse.

This wasn’t just another project to them—they treated The Tribal App like it was their own. Every feature was thoughtfully built, every challenge was tackled head-on, and every update was delivered with precision and care. Despite the complexity of the app—ranging from personalized creator groups to seamless brand integration and engagement boosting—they brought it all to life with clarity, speed, and a strong sense of design.

They were incredibly responsive, proactive in communication, and always open to feedback. They didn’t just build what we asked—they made it better. Even under tight deadlines, they never compromised on quality.

We’re proud to say The Tribal App wouldn’t be what it is today without this dev team. If you’re looking for a partner who will bring your vision to life, work tirelessly, and exceed expectations at every turn—this is the team you want.

Thank you for helping us build something truly game-changing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

From design to launch, The Tribal App has seen clear and measurable success thanks to the incredible work of our dev team. Here are a few key outcomes that demonstrate the project's impact and momentum:✅ App launched on both iOS and Android within timeline and budget, with minimal bugs and a seamless UI/UX
✅ Core features executed flawlessly, including group rotation, engagement boosts, and the collaboration hub
✅ Positive feedback from early beta testers, highlighting usability, speed, and value
✅ App infrastructure built to scale, with backend ready to support thousands of simultaneous users
✅ Daily active users already growing, with high retention during soft launch week

These results are a testament to the dev team’s skill, speed, and strategic thinking. From wireframes to the App Store, they delivered.

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

The project management from our dev team was outstanding from start to finish. They approached The Tribal App with a clear roadmap, transparent timelines, and well-defined milestones—making a complex build feel seamless.

They consistently delivered every phase of the project on time, often ahead of schedule, and maintained strong communication throughout. Whether it was feature rollouts, backend integrations, or design iterations, they kept everything moving forward without compromising quality.

What really stood out was their responsiveness and adaptability. Whenever our vision evolved or we had new ideas, they were quick to understand, quick to implement, and always solution-focused. They never saw challenges as blockers—just opportunities to improve the product.

Thanks to their proactive management and collaborative approach, we always felt supported, heard, and in control. It truly felt like we had a dedicated partner working alongside us every step of the way.

What was your primary form of communication with Next Big Technology?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed us most about this dev team wasn’t just their technical skill—it was the level of ownership, heart, and hustle they brought to the project. They treated The Tribal App like it was their own startup, not just a client job. That level of care is rare.

From day one, they fully immersed themselves in our vision. They weren’t just executing tasks—they were thinking strategically, offering valuable input, and anticipating needs we hadn’t even considered yet. Their ability to balance speed with quality was incredible, and they never cut corners, even on tight timelines.

We also found their collaboration style unique—they made us feel like we were building alongside them, not just handing off specs. It truly felt like a partnership.

In short: they’re not just a dev company. They’re builders, innovators, and problem-solvers who go all in—and that made all the difference.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Next Big Technology could have done differently?

Overall, our experience with Next Big Technology was excellent, and they exceeded expectations in many ways. If we had to point out one area for potential improvement, it would be around more detailed documentation during handoff—especially as we prepared for launch. While everything was delivered smoothly, having a more comprehensive guide or technical documentation would’ve made internal onboarding and long-term maintenance even easier.

Small - Medium Online Retailer. Founder / Managing Director

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Next Big Technology, and what were your goals?

Build a Magento2 Site from drawings and design ideas: incorporate conversion tools, dynamic menus.

SOLUTION

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

After many (50+) hours of research I shortlisted 5 Companies - 3 Indian Companies and 2 in the UK. Rajat came through as, by far, the most capable, friendly, proactive, and affordable vendor.

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

Magento 2 retail solution. Payment gateway setup. AWS Dev Ops.

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

Rajat co-ordinated all work with me. I travelled to Jaipur and met his 50+ strong team and visited their facility.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

A comparable website to that which Rajat delivered would cost £20-50K in the UK or USA. NBT delivered this project on time for a fraction of the cost.

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

Communication was always very quick and Rajat needed to show great patience with me and my team. He was very flexible adapting to any communication technology I wished to use: Google Chat, Click Up, Teams. They always adapted to us - never expecting us to adapt to their technology - and I learned a lot on the way.

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

They were genuinely honorable, professional, and extremely friendly. It is fair to say that NBT cannot do enough for you or your business. They focus entirely on your success in order to ensure their own long term future. They are truly playing the long game and have the dev skills and business acumen to handle any project.

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

They have always done everything I asked - I am quite a perfectionist and some of my requests were literally pixel level design adjustments. They were always very receptive to any requests and implemented all changes quickly and efficiently.

The most impressive thing about the company is the owner and the staff. They are very polite and never say "NO" to anything. Not even once did the owner ask for any sort of payment or stopped our work for payment. They were open for all sort of changes and the delivery was also done very smoothly.

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

No

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are an IT solution provider firm. I am CEO of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Next Big Technology, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop an online doctor consulting app, where patients can get online consultation on video and they can provide them with online prescriptions. Also, they can take online appointments with doctors as well if they wanted to meet personally.

SOLUTION

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

We interviewed few vendors before hiring NBT for our project, we hired them after our conversation with them, they had existing experience with our concept and had great knowledge as per our requirement, that's why we preferred them and got a good price as well.

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

Doctor consulting app as the name suggests, we needed an app for online doctor consulting, where patients and doctors can schedule online appointments and can have online consultation and prescription. Need of a complete online doctor consultation system that provides Audio and Video consultation, the patient can pay online and can get doctor consultation online. This idea generate from pandemic situation where patients can connect with doctors online easily,

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm an owner of a tech startup. Our company helps users to make animation films through crowdfunding.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Next Big Technology, and what were your goals?

We hired Next Big Technology to customize an existing crowdfunding platform we bought from another vendor so that it'd suit our business model. This platform was poorly designed and many of the functionalities didn't work. So the challenge was Next Big Technology had to spend a lot of time understanding the existing system without which they'd be unable to understand our requirements. Our previous vendors all failed on this and we almost gave it up. We're so glad we found the right IT partner.

SOLUTION

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

Our selection KPIs includes minimum project cost, hourly rate, years in business, company size, number of reviews (verified vs non-verified in each level vs overall), overall rating, number of projects in each cost level, project duration, number of projects from North America, etc. Compared to competitors, Next Big Technology doesn't have the highest number of reviews but their average rating is very high especially small projects on which they did very well. When a company is able to do small projects well, then this company can handle big projects much better than competitors due to their attitude of attention to detail. If sometimes a vendor makes a grammatical mistake on the contract, this shouldn't be the deciding factor of carelessness. The same thing happened to us and Next Big Technology proved us wrong. The quality of their work is far beyond our expectations.

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

We have custom work for both frontend for users and backend for admin. We have different modules with different functionalities. We divided hundreds if not thousands of requirements into four milestones. We began each milestone after the last one was finished. Most of the time different functionalities are interconnected so sometimes it was hard for us to decided the finishing of milestones which is more of an art than science. The technology we used is pretty basic which is PHP.

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

We work with three people: their CEO Amit, one developer, and one tester.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our key measure is if a certain functionality is implemented after sending feedback for only once.

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

In the beginning, we deciced to micro-manage everything but as the project goes, we just let them set their own pace because their work quality is quite high. They sent progress reports which were cut out by us to save time. Sometimes if there's communication issue that can't be cleared by email or phone call, we'd just use Zoom videos or meetings.   

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

They're not only willing to spend time to understand your requirements but also willing to go an extra mile to make sure quality is guaranteed. They're a
gem in an ocean of mediocrity.

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

Quote can be more accurate if more time is spent on understanding an existing system. Developer should be trained to think like a user instead of only a developer. Eventually any website is designed for users not developers.

BACKGROUND

Our company has launched an e-marketplace for promotion of african products and services. I am Managing Director.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Next Big Technology, and what were your goals?

We have hired NBT to develop application on the webapp. We were expected to add some features to make the platform much easier to use for user. NBT has installed RFQ, Pop up on first login to promote our top service. NBT has reviewed the database set up to create buyer page and seller page.

SOLUTION

How did you select Next Big Technology and what were the deciding factors?

Among 3 webapp development companies we chose NBT for their best quote and the delivery time given.

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

The project has been developped on wordpress. The different parts of the project were:

• create buyer page
• create seller page

All have been done and linked well.

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

I have worked mainly with the project manager who was transmitted to the IT peopole in his office our requirement and amendments to make at every step of the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After delivery of the project, we have noticed that the webapp was much easier to use. The users were no longer facing bugs and difficulties to use the platform. We are all satisfied at 95%.

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

When we handed over the project to NBT we had listed 7 major requirements to fullfill. At each requirement completed they requested us to check if it works well at our end and if we are ok with that or any input we wish to add. that was actually very good. We used to communicate through skype. we were receiving at every an update on progress of the project. Timeline also has been respected overall.

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

I found impressive the passion they shared with our project, they used to give us more advise to make it better and easy use. Whenever we requested a change on something already done, they never complained on the contrario. They listened to our needs and made those happen through the end product.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I wish if they could reduce one more time their bill that will be greater.

Rajat was very responsive & easily accessible via WhatsApp or video calls. We were satisfied with the quality of work and support as the team handled any changes and requests during the project.

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

We used phone calls, whatsapp, and video calls to communicate with Rajat and he was always very responsive.

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

Their budgets were reasonable and their ability to tackle unfamiliar challenges was outstanding.

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

The only thing if we had to come up with something would be having better communication on the exact method and technologies that were deployed on our website.

We weren't made aware that they would be using a off the shelf code-ignitor template script for the admin panel, and were under the impression that it would be something done more custom for us.

However, since everything in the end worked and was within budget, we didn't have a problem.
