BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the IT-officer of Zervices. With the tooling of Zervices a customer can create quotes for maintenance in and around their home. When a customer is satisfied about the quotation we will assign the job to a certified craftsman. During the job Zervices using an automated workflow-system to keep track of the job.

For example: automatic incoming and outgoing payment, reminders for appointments and even automatic product-order by our selected suppliers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY, and what were your goals?

Our new propositions are developing very fast. Next to that we're working with a lot of lead-generators and those are increasing fast.

It's very expensive to develop a new quotation-tool for every proposition in the specific house-style of the lead-generator. So we needed a frame-work for building this quotation-tools in a time effective way which can be used by someone without specific IT-knowledge.

SOLUTION

How did you select NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY and what were the deciding factors?

In our first meeting Nividata understood our challenge and our calculation method. They were able to translate our key problems into solutions, and more importantly, in a tight time schedule.

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

The application is build in the Django framework. First they build a calculation tool for the front-end. After that the drag-and-drop form-builder was implemented so even a person without any IT-knowledge is able to set-up a quotation tool.

When the base was ready we start to implement al the lead-generator specific requirements. But very important, every requirement must be multi usable for different lead-generators and products.

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

From the Nividata side there were 3 core developers involved. Sometimes when we had specific requirement there were an additional 4 developers. Next to the developers 1 managers from the Nividata. On the side of Zervices we had 2 testers, 1 product-owner and 1 IT-officer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Nividata was able to deliver a MVP very quickly so we could use the new front-end for our customers. In the weeks afterwards they delivered all the additional requirements for our quotation tool.

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

The project management style of Nividata is great. The project manager of Nividata is very informed but without being involved on daily business. For the daily business they used the lead-developer who informed his manager. Skype was our main tool for communication and this worked very well.

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

The development quality in short time-frames. Our leadgenerators are expecting a lot off additional features and Nividata was able to build them all without months of waiting.

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

I think it's nice to use a tool like Jira to track development and give comments on specific user-stories. Sometimes we had 10 different user-stories and I got lost in all the comments given on Skype.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the founder of Onlore which aims to help retail businesses be ready for technology revolution. With emergence of giant e-commerce companies operating globally, it has become important more than ever for retail businesses to stay relevant.

Onlore empowers, support, and guide retail businesses with its platform and tech support solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY, and what were your goals?

We engaged NiviData during conception phase of Onlore. Understandably, Onlore was only a vision at that time which NiviData helped become reality in last 10 months.

The platform is live as planned, reaching its customers, as well as generating revenue. However, the work has only begun and lot more is being planned to make Onlore the holistic retail enabler that it aims to be.

SOLUTION

How did you select NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY and what were the deciding factors?

Positive references and number of active clients with live products helped us narrow down on our list of potential vendors. Onlore has vision to challenge current market practices and we needed someone who can understand that and partner in achieving that together.

After discussing initial scope of work with 3 different web development agencies, we narrowed down on NiviData as they showed a sense of partnership rather than just project lead during our discussions.

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

After running through formalities such as non-disclosure agreement and engagement contract, Onlore and NiviData worked on SRS documents to clearly draft phase-by-phase implementation and deliverables. SRS also helped in determining cost structure, dependencies, and KPIs for quality assurance on final product.

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

We engaged a team of 6 employees from NiviData for Onlore comprising of one Project Manager, one Tech Lead, one Designer, one Tester, one Front-end Developer, and one Back-end Developer.

Engagement and contributions of above members of the team varied throughout the project life cycle as required.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The site has been recently launched and undergoing beta testing at the moment. The feedback regarding UI/UX and overall presentation is extremely positive. Improvements are promptly considered and implemented by NiviData team.

All in all, Onlore looks ready to go live in next one week to get the most out of its unique product offerings with easy to use UX.

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

We kept our communication short and precise to get most out of allocated ‘discussion time’. SRS developed in the beginning of the project helped keep both sides honest with their expectations while any out of scope requirements were discussed and timed in a way that project deliverables don’t get delayed.

Task management is handled on Trello. Day-to-day communications are on Fleep.io.

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

The way NIVIDATA has taken equal ownership in the work separates them from any other software development agency. NiviData team is eager to listen, improvise, and explore while staying focus on development goals which is rare in remote development team.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Ask questions until the requirements are not 100% clear. We had a few instances of understanding gap where follow-up questions and discussions could have helped avoid double work and delivered the outcome without any delay.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

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

Hitesh , NiviData Consultancy

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After the creation of the website, I have obtained an extra source of income that is constantly growing after the implementation of new functions regularly that allows me to reach more public. The fast implementations and solutions provided by NIVIDATA have helped me a lot in this process.

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

All the management and communication I did by email and I had no problem at any time. They gave me more channels of communication, but my command of English is very limited. Still, this was no problem for them.

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

What has surprised me the most is the proximity and the solutions they have for each problem. As I said before, Hitesh already consider it a fundamental part of my project.

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

At the moment I am 100% satisfied with all the phases.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I run an online technology business and help companies and individuals find technical solutions to their needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY, and what were your goals?

I was hired to build a website for a public school in my city. It was a simple task and I was able to do it myself. But over time they wanted to create an online shop with some very specific features so I declined the project. The school hired two programmers on two different occasions. They did a bad job in both cases so the school asked me to help. At that time, I contacted NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY.

SOLUTION

How did you select NIVIDATA CONSULTANCY and what were the deciding factors?

The opinions of some customers were definitive in making the decision. Someone I have full confidence in had already worked with them.

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

The first stage of the project could be said to be the one for which we requested the budget. It may seem obvious but already in this initial phase, I could see the professionalism with which they work. The communication was very fluid and before presenting their proposal they made sure they understood perfectly what the needs were that we wanted to cover. Among other things, they asked me for access to the website to study it in depth. No one had ever done that before. When this phase was over we entered the development phase.

They created a shared board in Trello and all the steps of the project were reflected there. It was necessary to make a shop with a series of very demanding requirements. In the shop, they could buy partners and non-partners. To become a member you would have to pay an annual fee and in return, you would get a discount on all the products in the shop. After one year you have to renew the fee to be able to buy again at a reduced price. Second-hand material is also offered in exchange for another annual fee, which complicated things.

As it was a school, there could also be twins, which would make it difficult to identify who the purchase was for, but we found a solution. And we also had to implement technology to meet the GDPR And of course a complex system of invoicing and above all, personalized data export to be able to separate the purchases of the students by class. From a web made in WordPress, they made modifications in PHP about the ChildTheme. I can't give more details because I don't know. I only know that everything works as we wish.

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

I worked directly with the co-founder and one of his workers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

During the date, prior to the start of the school year, the website makes sales worth about 25,000 euros. This means a large number of transactions, possibly between 500 and 600 families have made a purchase and everything has gone well.

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

As I mentioned before we started working with a detailed Trello board. Although I'm not a big fan of this tool, so we started communicating via Skype, e-mail and even WhatsApp. It didn't matter which tool we used because we responded in every way on both sides. With a smartphone it's very simple.

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

Both the personal treatment and the professionalism make them very different in this sector. They have an education and a desire to satisfy your needs that I have not seen before.

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

I wouldn't know, I'm very satisfied with everything.
