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

Project timeline was stretched out from initial 3 months to 1 year because of resource inavailability on both sides and the project management was my responsibility, since to lower the project costs, the agreement was that they will only provide resources and I must manage the tasks, priorities and budget.

We're impressed with their specialists, especially Oleh's deep knowledge of Salesforce capabilities and limitations, understanding of the business processes, and ability to suggest the best solution to suit our needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Noltic?

We had an urgent project where we needed to onboard a new client. As part of that, we needed to put in a lot of the foundations in the system that had been missed by our previous partner. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The core of our platform is for it to run multiple similar but not identical programs on behalf of our clients. We wanted the ability to onboard a new client quickly and put everything in place without having to build everything from scratch, but still making it feel tailored to the specific client. Noltic worked on that. 

We also took a bespoke scheduling tool and made improvements to its usability as well as optimizing its search and matching algorithm. Noltic improved the UI and made the presentation of the information for our internal users much better. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with five teammates from Noltic. 

How did you come to work with Noltic?

Noltic was recommended to us. They seemed more personal, and they really spent time trying to understand our project. It always felt like they wanted to make us successful. While every partner has largely the same kind of stats, SLAs, and referrals, we felt that the personal approach from Noltic stood them apart. They were happy to make the engagement all about us and our business. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The project lasted from June–October 2024. We have subsequently done several other projects with Noltic. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We were able to onboard our new client and run their contract. Our client was delighted. They have onboarded a second program with us since, which shows that it went well. 

How did Noltic perform from a project management standpoint?

Noltic delivered on time. We used a mixture of Slack, Teams calls, and email for communication. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their perseverance and focus on delivery dates were impressive. They pushed really hard to stay on track. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There are always things we could have done better or differently. Ideally, we would have had a much longer onboarding with Noltic. They could have better understood our Salesforce organization, and both of us could have better understood how to work with one another. Despite this, we felt Noltic did a very credible job under tough conditions and a very difficult deadline.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a product manager at Synapsum, a company providing fulfillment analysis and planning.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Noltic?

We have a solution built on a different technology stack, but we wanted to create a Salesforce-native version of our solution to add a lot more functionality to it in the Salesforce platform. Therefore, we hired Noltic to do that development work for us because we didn’t have the in-house resources to do it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

To some extent, we did an initial discovery process on our own to validate the need and the market demand for the solution we were trying to create. Thus, when we came to Noltic, we had a very strong idea of what we wanted to develop. We had also come up with a data model and an algorithm we wanted to use for this solution, so we initially shared that with Noltic.

Then, we collaborated with them to tweak the data model. Moreover, we provided them with user stories to help them understand our vision for the solution, which they helped us review and gave us a lot of feedback regarding its design.

Noltic also told us how to take advantage of Salesforce functionality to create an intuitive solution for Salesforce users, as well as how to create a seamless experience by leveraging the technology Salesforce has to offer. From there, their team was in charge of the entire development work, leveraging the Salesforce technology stack, including the Apex Lightning web components.

This solution was created for manufacturers. After they complete a sale, they need to fulfill the order and deliver it. With this solution, we’re helping those companies bring insight from fulfillment and planning into their sales cycle. When they create an opportunity in Salesforce, they can see how long it takes them to be completed and shipped to the customer.

For example, the user changes the products added to the said opportunity or customer requests for value-added services, such as special handling of their purchase, have a direct impact on the fulfillment cycle. Therefore, this solution helps users push out the dates presented to the sales representatives as they create those opportunities.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a dedicated developer and a software architect who was in charge of providing architecture and scoping assistance. The architect acted as the project manager and was involved in the beginning of the project. Once we entered the development process, we worked exclusively with the developer.

How did you come to work with Noltic?

I don’t know how we found them because I joined the company after Noltic had already been selected as our service provider.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together on this project from January–March 2023. However, I believe that Noltic has worked with Synapsum on other projects in the past.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Our main success metric for this project is that we now have customers buying the solution that Noltic helped us develop. However, the product launch is very recent, so we don’t have feedback from customers yet regarding how successful the solution is. In fact, there are still no customers using the solution yet. As for general feedback, I was very pleased with the quality of Noltic’s work.

How did Noltic perform from a project management standpoint?

Noltic was quick, responsive, and did a great job staying on budget. Initially, we provided them with a list of features that were absolutely required, as well as with a list of other features that would be nice to have, and told them that it was very important for us to stay on budget. Thus, they delivered everything we required and the majority of features that weren’t strictly necessary.

As for collaboration tools, we used three main technologies. We used GitHub for storing our project and communicating technical details. We also used Slack very regularly to ask questions and communicate about the progress. Additionally, we used Google Meet to have a daily 15-minute meeting.

Noltic always came to those meetings with updates and let us know where things were, which helped us be in sync about the progress we were making. They also let us know if something was taking longer than anticipated, so we never had any surprises.

What did you find most impressive about them?

In addition to the quality of their work, I really appreciated Noltic’s integrity throughout the project. They helped us identify ways to cut down the scope of the project. Our initial design would have caused more work for them, but they pointed out that there was another approach to the solution we could take that would be less work for them and save us money.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any constructive feedback for Noltic; they did a fantastic job.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

What worked well for us was having multiple lines of communication and frequent check-ins. Frequent communication is very helpful.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the Engineering Manager of Better Time Stories, a European nonprofit project managing donations and the consequential delivery of interactive book sets to Ukrainian refugee children in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Austria. We provide an option for a family member staying in Ukraine to narrate and record story books for children to listen and emotionally connect while staying physically apart.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Noltic?

We needed a service provider who would be proficient with the Salesforce instruments to fix the inconsistencies we had in our initial setup. We had to start our operations promptly and used the Salesforce nonprofit solution, however, we encountered a number of issues standing in the way of effective donation spending and precise address delivery of book sets. Another challenge was our need to expand the delivery from the Netherlands to additional countries.

SOLUTION

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

I was familiar with one of Noltic’s co-founders prior to Better Time Stories’ existence, and I already knew they were the experts in the industry. It was very important that the team is from Ukraine, meaning they deeply understand the meaning of our project, and they provided their services pro bono.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project was mostly focused on fixing systemic issues with our CRM operations. We have had problems with our request form that the families in need were filling out. For example, it allowed for Cyryllic letters usage or for people to put in their first and last name in one field or to even forget to put in their email address. It kept us from delivering book sets because the post office could not process incorrect data.

The Noltic team worked out data validation rules to prevent wrong types of information from going into the request system for successful package delivery. They also helped us implement a rule allowing manual package quantity input for working with group refugee housings and another flow that forbids individual applicants to request more than one package per household. This helped optimize our operations and make more children happy by effectively spending donation money.

Noltic helped us implement delivery to Belgium, Germany and partially Austria, and they continue to provide all the needed technical support for our project.

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

We have two tech people from Noltic working on our project – one Salesforce Architect Serhii and a Salesforce Developer Yurii. They work in a close collaboration with our tech team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Yes, while before Noltic we have had only 1000 packages sent to Ukrainian children in the Netherlands, we now have crossed the point of 5000 packages sent to the Netherlands along with two additional countries – Germany and Belgium. We also see an increase in our employees’ productivity with dataflow optimized by Noltic as well as more positive impact on kids coming from an increased number of successful deliveries.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was all done in the shortest of terms and a lot of options we only explored in the beginning of December, 2022, they managed to implement by Christmas, which was our busiest time of the year. The communication was pleasantly consistent and informative.

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

Their openness to new challenges, the ability to evaluate the scope, and readiness to work with routine tasks like finding out the bugs in an existing setup with steady dedication.

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

Nothing to really improve.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an HR Manager for a US-based innovative IT services company focused on e-commerce

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Our company decided to move forward with the Salesforce CRM due to its robust features and capabilities to scale, however, we didn’t have inhouse resources with the skillset to handle that project and needed a reliable partner to guide us through the process and customize the system to help us reach our goals. We wanted to better process the client forms from our application and boost our sales processes effectiveness, therefore we needed to rapidly launch Salesforce CRM and customize it towards our business needs.

SOLUTION

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

We have chosen Noltic due to their spectacular reputation and ability to move fast and scale.

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

The team helped us to set up the pipeline opportunities, deals, keep track of all the customer data and sync data between Salesforce and external systems.

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

• 1 Senior Salesforce Developer
• 1 Salesforce Administrator

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have completed the first part of our engagement and already see that our sales processes have been improved. We are also planning to add some features to our application and additional project components like identity automation, fraud prevention

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

Their team was highly dedicated to the project, and the communication went fast and effective.

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

Their ability to go another mile to produce a great result and readiness to start the project over a night to help a client out.

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

Everything is great

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-chairman of the board of Nova Ukraine, a nonprofit organization. We’re incorporated in California and are one of the biggest Ukraine-focused nonprofits in the US.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Noltic?

Given the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, we’ve scaled our operation a lot this year. As a result, the question of process automation and using software to increase efficiency became really important, so we decided to implement Salesforce into our operations. Even though Salesforce offers a nonprofit cloud, we required a lot of custom work to implement our organization’s processes, so we brought in Noltic to help us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Noltic provides us with Salesforce development and automation QA. The two most important parts of what we do are fundraising and issuing grants, and the team has helped automate both processes.

We give hundreds of grants, which involve working with smaller nonprofits and volunteering groups. They apply for the grant, and we research and evaluate them. This process has steps from coordinating research to background checks to an approval process with our board of directors. From there, it goes to fulfillment, so the grant is distributed, and then reporting is collected. Noltic has reflected the entire process from beginning to end in Salesforce. 

Previously, the grant process was spread across email, messengers, and Google Drive — all over the place. The integration with Salesforce allows us to collect everything in one place, streamline the flow, and aggregate reports to understand the dynamics and analysis of the grants we've given. 

Meanwhile, fundraising involves communicating with donors and aggregating information about them. We have to engage and reengage with donors and understand their demographics to speak to them in their language. Noltic has helped us import all our donors' information into Salesforce. They've integrated different systems like crowdfunding platforms and donating via check or wire transfer. The goal was to have a single view of our donor base to analyze and create campaigns. Currently, they're automating other workflows for us.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with two Salesforce developers, an automation QA specialist, and a Salesforce architect. Additionally, we've been in contact with Noltic's leadership. 

How did you come to work with Noltic?

We had an existing relationship with them due to a previous project. When this project came up, I contacted Noltic and asked if they could support us. 

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we've invested roughlywe've000. Noltic has also offered many services pro-bono, adding up to about $30,000 worth.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around May 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The project is working; we rely on Noltic’s implementations daily, and the results speak for themselves. We’ve had close to 150,000 transactions pulled into Salesforce from different donation platforms, and almost 99% of our grant issues are going through there. Putting these processes in Salesforce for us has been critical for us to continue operating effectively.

Noltic’s team is very professional, and the developers have done a really solid job. They’ve been helpful because they have a lot of experience developing in Salesforce, so they’ve streamlined our processes. On top of the paid arrangements, they’ve donated a lot of their employees’ time pro-bono to help us get this project off the ground.

For many nonprofits, getting into Salesforce is a heavy lift, and those that manage it get to the next level of professional operations. We rely on volunteers, so automation is a way to keep things working smoothly even when we don’t necessarily have people working full time. We’re happy we could take that step with Noltic’s help and be more efficient.

How did Noltic perform from a project management standpoint?

We shared project management tasks between our volunteers and Noltic, and we’re happy with their performance and the communication we receive. They’ve completed everything on time, and I haven’t heard any concerns from my in-house team. We use Asana for project management and communicate on Slack. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with Noltic’s willingness to support our use case even though they didn’t have much experience with nonprofits. The team was willing to step in and take some risks with us. Initially, we didn’t know if this would work out because it was a change in management, and they supported us and were open to making it work — and it does. We’ve received what we were looking for and even more from them. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any particular constructive feedback; our partnership has been successful. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

In our experience, we trusted that the Noltic team would support us even on a somewhat risky project. Therefore, you can trust they’ll deliver good quality results, even if your project involves some risk or if it’s not apparent what you should do. Noltic will join you on the journey and help you find the right path to a good outcome.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of product and operations for a fintech software company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Noltic?

We were trying to address an overload of clients that needed items for development, so we needed to get more software developers to account for all our workload.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Noltic helped develop our customer platform through Salesforce. The team maintained and resolved bugs and issues, integrated new features, and implemented an amortization system with scheduling capabilities for fixed payback loans.

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact was Tetiana (Salesforce Developer), but we also worked with several software developers from their team.

How did you come to work with Noltic?

I believe we came across Noltic while researching online.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested approximately $57,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership ran from February–July 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

My anecdotal feedback would be that if I had any choice in the matter, we’d still be working with Noltic, as they were fantastic partners for our business.

How did Noltic perform from a project management standpoint?

Whatever our project estimates were, they would always do a great job of meeting them.

We used JIRA and GitHub as our main management tools and typically communicated through Slack and Basecamp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with their timely delivery and responsiveness to our queries and feedback.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish their services were more cost-effective.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I advise you to set clear expectations in the beginning and be prepared for someone reliable on your team.

I'm the CEO of a financial services company operating in 4 jurisdictions

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

This vendor was referred to us as being a superior knowledge provider and with strong awareness of security and privacy matters.

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

They added several data integration modules and enhanced the intelligence of applying incoming data properly and securely. Other areas included reporting and analytics.

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

We were able to reduce incoming data feed kick-outs to near zero and provided a secured API to enhance the ability for data suppliers to provide data

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

We had two stand-ups per week and frequent contact over slack and Gitlab. Other tools included video conferencing. Availability of the person was very high.

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

Most impressive was the ability to quickly capture the issues and ideas brought forward and quick analytical abilities when issues needed to be localized. The working atmosphere is very friendly and dynamic which enhanced the relationship even further.

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

So far we have noted no areas of improvement worth mentioning.
