Our existing platform didn't allow us to manage the website ourselves, so one of our goals was to be able to change content ourselves without involving a third party. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Plego Technologies provided us with web development. We had an existing website hosted somewhere else, and Plego Technologies took it and converted it into WordPress. Our goals were for the website to work as it did before and for us to be able to manage the content ourselves.We had a kickoff call and then weekly engagements with them.

He very kindly helped us through the website process from start to finish, including deployment — he was awesome.What did you find most impressive about them?Overall, the project was executed really well. I've done many website conversions, and the outcome isn't usually this good. We had many challenging requirements, and Plego Technologies filled in the blanks really well, which was great because sometimes that’s hard, especially when a client doesn’t know what they want. For example, they revamped our projects page, going off loose requirements, and it turned out great. Are there any areas they could improve?No, I don’t think there was anything they needed to improve on.Do you have any advice for potential customers?Make sure you come equipped with what you’re looking for and what you want to get out of it. Think through it and come prepared with how you want it to look; that will speed up the process. We spun our wheels a little bit when it came to revamping a few of the pages because we hadn't thought through it, so I would recommend coming prepared.  --- #### Custom App Development for Rental Management Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Aug. 2023 - Aug. 2024 **Project Summary**: Plego Technologies has developed a custom application for a rental management company.

Energy healing is a form of alternative healthcare that focuses on the inner healer. We have about 500 practitioners and 100 instructors globally. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies?Our shopping cart feature was bug-ridden for years, and customers were having trouble ordering products from us. As a result, we hired Plego Technologies to fix and redesign our shopping cart and checkout process. For context, our website was made on Joomla, but it wasn’t easy to find Joomla developers. I thought about porting to a different platform, but I didn’t want the time and money expense. Our website was complicated and didn’t fit Shopify, and we had so many custom components.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Plego Technologies put our site into a development environment where we could test things before putting them on a live website. That was the first step of the engagement. At present, we’re still in the process of building the website. We’ve done a complete redesign with weekly meetings to go over our progress. Apart from working on our shopping cart and checkout experience, the team has added features such as push notifications to help us advertise and promote products. We’ve added a video to our homepage. They’ve designed the video player for that. Moreover, we’ve implemented some other minor changes to the website. For instance, we’ve redesigned the product pages to improve their UI and have multiple images displayed rather than just one. This way, customers can see larger images of our product, allowing them to understand it better. What is the team composition?I mainly interact with Saad (Co-Founder & Partner) and Haris (Project Manager). The manager sends tasks to the most appropriate person in their team. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies?I interviewed multiple companies that could do Joomla, and I had a meeting with Saad. I showed him our website and issues, and he said we needed help with best practices. They had the best interview process where I could share and show all of our website’s problems. As a result, I hired them. How much have you invested with them?Our investment has been around $30,000. What is the status of this engagement?We started working with Plego Technologies in April 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Plego Technologies’ quality is great. It’s hard to take over a project where they need to put an entire live website into development, but they’ve had no issues with that. Their work culture is also great. How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?They’ve worked well with my budget. I can only afford 10 hours per week — this isn’t much time, and coding can take a lot of effort, especially since our website has messy code. Considering all these, the Plego Technologies team has been doing a great job. They’re using their time well as they work efficiently with my limited budget. Moreover, I’ve enjoyed working with Saad and Haris. They’re both great.To communicate, we use Google Meet for meetings. I use monday.com and emails to track the changes we want to make. They’re highly responsive to our emails; the lead developer always provides updates on monday.com. What did you find most impressive about them?I’m impressed with their efficiency with my limited budget. They spend a lot of time working on truly important things. On top of that, they have a good ability to launch new features without messing up the website. They’re careful with how they launch anything on the website, and I haven’t had any problems with that. Are there any areas they could improve?No, there aren’t any. Joomla isn’t easy, and not every company knows how to work with it, so I’m impressed with everything they’ve done. Do you have any advice for potential customers?If you have a Joomla website, hire Plego Technologies. They do a great job, and they’re one of the few companies that do Joomla. --- #### UI/UX Design, Content Dev & SEO for Roofing Contractor **The Project** - Services: Architectural Design, Content Marketing, Market Research, Mobile App Development, Search Engine Optimization, UX/UI Design, Web Design, Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Feb. - Sep. 2023 **Project Summary**: A roofing contractor hired Plego Technologies to build their website and update their SEO program.

I’m an account executive at Plexus, an events company. We handle creative production and AV services for corporate events. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? The COVID-19 pandemic stopped all events on our side, and we needed to quickly adapt to virtual platforms, so our team was looking to develop interactive websites that could replace live events. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Plego Technologies has been doing website development from scratch for one of our customers. In terms of functionalities, they create every feature according to our customer requests, including building agendas, going into scheduled sessions, and earning accreditations after viewing a video, chatting online, and checking in. Currently, they’re providing maintenance and further component development to the platform. What is the team composition?

They provided and managed three development resources for a cloud space infrastructure end client project. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Executive, IT Consulting & Staffing Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 30, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Thanks to Plego Technologies, the project was successfully completed, and the end client was satisfied with their work. The engagement went smoothly, and they stood out for their quick response and ability to provide strong resources. They managed the project well using Jira and Google Meet. "“Unemployment was high and resources were thin, so it was surprising how fast they found those resources.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m an executive for a consulting and staffing company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? We needed resources in the cloud space for infrastructure support. One of our clients needed onshore resources first, and then they had an offshore need. We weren’t able to find them internally, so we had to reach out. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We gave Plego Technologies three weeks to find three resources for us, and they filled the positions in two weeks. They managed the resources and provided feedback about how they did. What is the team composition? We had a senior infrastructure engineer, an architect-level engineer on the infrastructure, and a DevOps analyst. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? We met them through a referral. Someone worked with them and recommended them, but we initially didn’t reach out because we found another partner to fill our needs. However, when we exhausted our current Rolodex of partners, we reached back out to Plego Technologies and asked if they had the resources. Ultimately, we gave them a shot because we were in dire need. How much have you invested with them? We spent around $300,000. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve worked with them three times. The most recent project started in September 2021 and ran over to May 2022. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We delivered the project, and our client was happy. As part of the staff, I only had to make sure the resources were there and delivered, so everything went smoothly.  How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? We initially communicated the budget, and they stayed within it. We used Jira for project management and Google Meet for communication. What did you find most impressive about them? They stood out for their quick response and ability to provide strong resources; they had a solid recruiting bench and resume database. At the time, unemployment was high and resources were thin, so it was surprising how fast they found those resources. Are there any areas they could improve? In the beginning, one of the resources didn’t have the necessary experience, but they quickly turned it around by providing someone with more experience. Also, they could communicate better all the services they provide. Plego Technologies did more than staffing, but we couldn’t offer other services to our clients because we didn’t know they had those skill sets. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be clear upfront; they’re easy to talk to. If you don’t have the budget for something, give them the price upfront; they’ll be able to work around it. --- #### E-Commerce Dev & Design for Marketplace Platform **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Aug. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Plego Technologies has helped an investment company brand develop, design, and deploy an online marketplace from scratch.

We hired them to create an online marketplace for us. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Plego Technologies provided us with e-commerce development services. After explaining to them our idea and vision, they proceeded with the work, building out an online marketplace from scratch that brings together vendors, sellers, and users in a single platform. They handled both front- and backend development efforts using these key technologies: Open Source, LAMP Stack, Laravel, and MySQL. The website is hosted on AWS. Their team has already completed and launched the site, and they’re currently maintaining it and helping us implement any necessary upgrades. What is the team composition? We work with several people from their side, including a project manager, a customer engagement manager, a couple of UI/UX designers, a QA specialist, and a DevOps engineer. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? We found them through an online search. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $150,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in August 2021, and our engagement is still ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The team has redesigned the client’s website, moved the frontend from WordPress to React, and developed a CMS. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Princpal Attorney, AU LLC Koloden - Industry: Legal - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 11, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client is happy with Plego Technologies’ work on the website, which is a long way from where it was when the engagement started. The team is responsive, timely with delivery, and reasonable with their pricing. Their appreciation for the project’s characteristics sets them apart. "“They’re interested in getting our project to work because they like it and see its value.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the principal attorney at AU LLC Koloden, a legal services company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? We hired them to assist us with web development. We had a customer-facing website and wanted Plego Technologies to do some design work on it and then build out some API functionality and a user dashboard for how the site operates. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We had an existing website, and Plego Technologies has redesigned it and built additional features. Initially, we provided them with a requirements document with steps and segments of the project, which we developed throughout our conversations with them.  The website allows e-commerce resellers to register an account and integrate their accounts on storefronts like Amazon, Walmart, Wish, or eBay. We use visual search technology and natural language processing with proprietary databases of trademark registration to identify potentially infringing content in product listings in advance of rightsholders using scraping technologies. Our site gives the users a heads-up to modify or take down content that might result in litigation or platform strikes that can be extremely expensive.  The team has worked on the website's frontend, moving it from WordPress to a React framework. They've also developed a CMS that enables us to edit the content on the front-facing pages. Plego Technologies has created a user dashboard and worked on how our site integrates with other platforms. Additionally, the team has worked on the backend billing technology, including referral codes and some light accounting features. They've built visualization through a dashboard that illustrates data about the user's stores, listings, and problems we're identifying for them. This way, users can keep track of what they need to do.  At its most basic level, users can create an account and log into our website. From there, they integrate their other seller accounts with our dashboard through several steps, allowing us to see their other accounts on the backend. We use APIs to scan the user's data about product listings and give them notifications if they have a problem. Users can also register an account if they want a referral code, which involves the same process. Platforms or storefronts can also work with us on the API side. The tool scans platforms and gives them feedback so that they don't have to deal with subpoenas or court orders due to their sellers' actions.  Plego Technologies is engaged with us on an ongoing basis to provide maintenance and technical support for the site; if something breaks, they fix it. Currently, they're working on some UX design. A tester provided feedback on the website's UX, we sent that feedback to Plego Technologies, and they're working on incorporating it.  What is the team composition? We primarily work with three teammates from Plego Technologies, although they have more team members working from offshore.  How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? I found them through a Google search. They were local, and finding a provider that was close was important to us. Moreover, software development tends to be hired through the big box or freelancing. The project scope was too much for a freelancer, and Plego Technologies was a medium-sized outfit. They were responsive and seemed to do good work, so we chose them. How much have you invested with them? We've spent between $50,000–$75,000. What is the status of this engagement? We sent them an NDA in February 2020, started working with them in April 2020, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  We’re satisfied with the work Plego Technologies has done and their turnaround time. Although development has been slow due to my demanding day job, we’re currently marketing the site. The site has come a long way from where it was when our engagement started. We’re not planning to change providers.  How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? They deliver items on time and get back to us when we reach out. Moreover, the invoices we receive from them are reasonable. We communicate through email, phone calls, and Zoom meetings.  What did you find most impressive about them? Plego Technologies’ responsiveness distinguishes them from other providers. Before working with them, it seemed as though our requirements were indifferent to other providers at the outset. Coding is a unique product with unique characteristics. When we tried to explain what we needed to developers, they didn’t seem to be interested in the characteristics of the project but rather in onboarding us.  Meanwhile, Plego Technologies demonstrates an appreciation for the project and what it could do. We’re not just another client to them; they’re interested in getting our project to work because they like it and see its value. Are there any areas they could improve? There’s nothing they need to improve; we’re satisfied.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? My advice for collaborating with any developer is to have requirements at the outset to avoid spinning around. There’s some amount of brainstorming and exploration to any design process. Having requirements set out is important to determine if the provider met your goal and spent money and time appropriately. --- #### Mobile App Design & Dev for Digital Media Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, UX/UI Design, Web Design - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: May 2022 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Plego Technologies has developed an SEO auditing app for a digital media company.

The application runs through their website, measures the efficiencies and inefficiencies, and compiles the data into a color chart. Plego Technologies has implemented an e-commerce feature that prompts users to set up a call with our team to review their results. Once users have met with us, they can implement the suggestions themselves or engage us.  Although we’ve completed the application, we haven’t launched it yet. We plan to continue working with Plego Technologies to maintain, update, and add new features to the application.  What is the team composition? We’ve primarily interfaced with Saad and Amin (Co-Founders). However, Plego Technologies has a team of 12 developers who’ve worked on our application.  How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? We found Plego Technologies on Clutch.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested about $150,000 in the partnership with Plego Technologies.  What is the status of this engagement? We started working with Plego Technologies in May 2022, and the partnership is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Since we haven’t launched yet, we don’t have metrics. However, the project has turned out really well and Plego Technologies has created a solid application. They’ve delivered even more than we asked for and we haven’t faced any issues working with them. We’re excited to keep growing the product.  How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? Plego Technologies has been a great partner; they’ve remained on top of the project throughout each stage. Since we’ve worked on the development process in phases, we’ve been able to see the application form in real-time. As a result, we’ve made many changes to the project scope, and Plego Technologies has been very accommodating. Despite expanding the scope, they’ve delivered the project on time and within budget.  The team really knows what they’re doing; they’ve communicated effectively, and we’ve built a trusting working relationship. Even when we’ve reached out during inconvenient times, they’ve gotten back to us immediately. They’re actually local to us, which has been very helpful because we’ve consistently met at their office. They typically record our meetings and we’ve used WeChat to manage tasks and share feedback.  What did you find most impressive about them? We’ve been most impressed by their communication skills and ability to work within our budget.  Are there any areas they could improve? I have nothing Plego Technologies could improve on; they’ve been fantastic.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? First and foremost, I highly recommend working with Plego Technologies. Try to prepare ahead of time and have a good understanding of your end goal so that you can provide the team with as much information as possible. --- #### Mobile & Web App Dev for Medical Equipment Manufacturer **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, Web Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2011 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Plego Technologies provides development services for a medical equipment manufacturer.

They created a landing page, integrated Google Analytics, and built a store locator feature. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Former Marketing Manager, Alyce Paris - Industry: Manufacturing - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Aug 13, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Thanks to the landing page Plego Technologies built, both sites’ bounce rates decreased, leading to increased user session time, user acquisition, and sales for the client. The team was accommodating and adaptable, and they delivered on time and within budget. Their fixed-cost approach stood out. "“The team did a lot to ensure we were happy without add-on costs.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the former marketing manager for Alyce Paris, a women’s fashion manufacturer. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? We had a website built in PHP, and the web designer we had used was no longer with us, so we were looking to bring the site in-house. We needed a company to help design and develop our new website with a CMS so we wouldn’t have to rely on anybody to make changes because we had different dresses every season. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Plego Technologies designed and developed two websites from scratch using a Joomla CMS. Both sites had a similar look and feel; one was for bridal and mother-of-the-bride fashion, and the mirror site was for prom dresses, quinceañeras, and such events.  First, we gave them our requirements, and they presented a proposal, showing us the look and feel and how we would add new dresses from the backend. We went through several design iterations; we drove the process, and they provided suggestions. At their recommendation, they built a landing page split into two sections: one for weddings and another for proms and quinceañeras, so users could choose where they wanted to go.  Additionally, they helped us integrate Google Analytics into the new sites. Plego Technologies built a store locator feature where users could see a list of stores in their area to try on dresses they found on the site. They also provided consultancy about the CMS and walked me through the site. What is the team composition? I mainly worked with Saad (Co-Founder & Partner), who acted as a project manager. We also worked with a designer and a developer. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? I was in charge of finding a vendor and found them through a Google search. I talked to several candidates and was impressed with Plego Technologies. We had an initial interview, and they were very professional, so we decided they would be a good fit for our company.  How much have you invested with them? We spent around $11,000. What is the status of this engagement? We worked together from January–July 2015. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  Once we got the new site, our bounce rate went down, user time spent on the site went up, and sales also went up. The landing page they suggested helped drive users where we wanted them to go without them being confused about where to navigate; this helped with our bounce rate and drove user acquisition to where we needed it. The CMS also made it easy for us to log in and update our dresses every season or remove ones that were sold out or weren't selling well. This way, we avoided customers' confusion. Moreover, Joomla was easy to understand and get the hang of, which helped our bottom line as far as making changes ourselves.  Plego Technologies was very accommodating throughout the design process; they listened to our feedback and gave suggestions. We appreciated their expertise because this was our first time redoing a website, and they'd done it several times before.  How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? They met the deadline and stayed on budget, so their project management was excellent. We were an old-school-style company, so we didn't use project management tools. Instead, we talked to them on the phone and had them come into our office to discuss their progress.  What did you find most impressive about them? Plego Technologies' strength was their adaptability; they were willing to work with us and give us feedback. Since our initial meeting, we were impressed with the team's suggestions on what to do and about CMS systems. The team did a lot to ensure we were happy without add-on costs.  Are there any areas they could improve? They didn't need to improve; we were very pleased with them.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? I would recommend having some face-to-face meetings with Plego Technologies. They were very good at whiteboard ideas for us, so I'd advise giving them a chance and hearing what they have to say. --- #### Web Development for Online Pharmacy Marketplace **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Sep. - Dec. 2017 **Project Summary**: Plego Technologies designed, built, and implemented a platform for a digital pharmaceutical marketplace.

What is the team composition?  The team includes eight people. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? Before we were introduced, I’d had negative experiences with a few companies from India and the Philippines. I reached out to many different companies in the United States.  Plego Technologies developed a website for my brother-in-law who owns a cargo company. He was pleased with their work and recommended them to me. I set up a meeting to discuss our project. They presented a solid plan for the execution within a reasonable timeframe. I’m very pleased I ended up choosing them, especially since they’re local. What is the status of this engagement? We worked together for three months from September–December 2017.   **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The end product is marvelous.

We had a phone call every other day. Plego Technologies sent constant updates through email. They always kept us informed and up to speed. Anytime I had a question or wanted to check on progress, the team invited me to their office to show me what was going on.  What did you find most impressive about them? Everyone on the team is very knowledgeable and provides excellent support. Whenever I brought up an issue, they resolved it by the end of the day or the next morning at the latest. Plego Technologies a team you can rely on. They always deliver. Are there any areas they could improve? No, Plego Technologies did a great job. Do you have any advice for potential customers?

After integrating it with a database, they implemented a search function, allowing users to find results based on location. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Executive Director, Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 13, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Plego Technologies’ design elicited positive feedback for its accessible and aesthetically pleasing interface. With strong communication and a detailed work ethic, the team delivered on all of their promises. Key strengths include their organization and responsive customer service. "“They really listened to our requests and delivered a great design that aligned with our vision.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I act as the executive director for the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. It’s a global organization of orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons that specialize in spinal surgery. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? My company took over managing the society in November 2017. At that time, the group’s website was outdated in terms of both design and functionality, so we decided to do a complete redesign. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? After browsing the websites of other similar societies and associations, we constructed a basic framework of webpages for the new site. Plego Technologies helped us conceptualize a concrete design before building it out on a WordPress platform. The team integrated the new site with our broad membership database, which allowed us to implement a “find a surgeon” feature for our users. Potential patients can search for doctors by a specific country, state, city, or name. The system then populates a list of members that suit those fields. What is the team composition? I worked with two project leads, but I’m sure there were other team members working in the background. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? I searched for local vendors, and Plego Technologies appeared on that list. After viewing their website and portfolio of past clients, I hired them. How much have you invested with them? We spent about $32,000 on this project. What is the status of this engagement? We worked together from February–June 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Responses to the new site have been largely positive, specifically regarding its navigable interface and updated aesthetic. How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? Overall, they were great to work with. We spoke daily, and their team was consistently responsive and organized. If we ever ran into an issue or fell behind schedule, Plego Technologies let us know right away. We shared information via Dropbox. It was the easiest way to provide their team with open access to all of the images and content we wanted them to include on the new site. What did you find most impressive about them? With strong attention to detail, Plego technologies delivered what they promised on time and within our budget. Are there any areas they could improve? I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. Any advice for potential customers? We had an initial meeting to discuss the entire project, using example websites to determine what we wanted to see in the new build. That kickoff meeting played a key role in the eventual success of our project. Additionally, I recommend potential clients use some kind of project management tool. Sharing files through Dropbox was much more efficient than sending a multitude of emails. --- #### E-Commerce Development for Weapons Manufacturer **The Project** - Services: E-Commerce Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: June 2015 - Apr. 2016 **Project Summary**: Plego wrote a custom program to easily calculate bullet speed, and fully redesigned a website to provide e-commerce and instructional videos. They continue to host and modify the website. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner, Wisconsin Trigger Company - Industry: Manufacturing - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 5, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: The completed website has received positive feedback from customers, many of whom appreciate the site’s improved usability and simplicity. Plego’s thoughtful questions, consistent quality, and flexibility amidst a shifting scope continue to impress. "“[Plego] asked a lot of questions about the website and what we wanted it to be able to do.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. My name is Ron Albanese and I am the owner of Wisconsin Trigger Company. We manufacture and sell AR-15 rifle target triggers for high-powered shooters and national match shooters. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? The original challenge was we wanted to turn a bullet power calculator we’d created into a usable program. After that, we asked them to step in and fix our website that had been abandoned by a previous designer. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We’d written the algorithms for a bullet power calculator, and they wrote a program that to does the math for you. Plego quickly got an emergency website up and running when our designer disappeared, leaving an unfinished site. They took over the project of building a new site. The site is a mix of informational (e.g., instructional videos) and some e-commerce where we sell our product triggers. What is the team composition? I worked with three people, but I couldn't say who else was involved on their end. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? I found them after doing a web search. I spoke with them on the phone, and liked how ambitious they were to take on the project. They were anxious to help us by writing the bullet power program, and thought it would be fun and interesting. How much have you invested with them? We spent around $12,000-$13,000 on everything. What is the status of this engagement? Work began in June of 2015. The bulk of their work was completed in early 2016, but they continue to host the site and make the occasional tweak. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re pleased with the positive comments on the website. Customers are very happy that they can access the trigger installation instructions online, and watch videos of how to do it. How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? They were great. They asked a lot of questions about the website and what we wanted it to be able to do. If I liked something, they implemented it. They were very good about sticking to what I wanted to see happen. Some of my ideas turned out to be not the best decisions, so they changed them after the site went live. What did you find most impressive about them? They’re very responsive; when I call, I get a response right away. If they weren’t able to answer the phone I would get a call within an hour to address my concerns. They came to our office to talk about the business, which showed me that they really wanted the job. They didn’t just take our money and shoot over a website, they actually took an interest in what we are doing and what we want to accomplish. They were really timely. Everything was done when they told me it would be done. Are there any areas they could improve? They could try harder to convince me when I'm making a mistake. --- #### Web and App Development for Park **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: June - Sep. 2017 **Project Summary**: Plego Technologies provided web and app development that included gaming functions such as leaderboards and score counts. They offered technical expertise and advice to identify the most feasible and implementable app functions. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Co-Founder, Design B&B - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Dec 13, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: They remained engaged throughout the collaboration by frequently attending client meetings and team meetings. Their guidance on practical and feasible app capabilities helped produce an optimal product. They made sure everything ran smoothly, and the client responded to the product positively. ""They focused on meeting the needs of the client by using the best functioning interface for the product." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m Amy Brusselback, and I’m the co-founder and principal at Design B&B. We are a design and brand strategy agency that has two offices located in Chicago and Baltimore, respectively. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? We were hired by the Chicago Parks District to create a multi-media marketing platform, and we needed assistance developing the web and app components of their platform. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We hired Plego to be our technology partner for the Chicago Parks District’s website and app development. We came up with overall program such as its design and identity, while they handled its technical aspects. They attended client meetings that required greater technical knowledge with us, so they could answer the client’s questions. The site was specifically created for southeast Chicago, a subset within the broader Chicago Parks District. They collaborated with us to ensure that our proposal would technologically integrate with what Chicago Parks District already does. The app is a virtual scavenger hunt based in the different park systems, and targeted at various age groups in order to create an experience either the whole family or older people that may not be there with kids. We wanted to include gaming techniques for the app by including leaderboards, score counts, and accolades as people moved through the program. Plego completed all the programming for it. They worked with our team to determine what aspects and functions would be most feasible to implement and most likely to be used on phones within the targeted community and population. Initially, we wanted to include GPS capabilities for this app. Plego clearly provided us with information regarding GPS programming such as the large amount of memory space it would take up, which our user base wouldn’t be able to handle that on their phone. In this way they guided us on what was most practical for the app as well as what would leverage the best execution of our vision. The app is available for both iOS and Android; iTunes is currently working to make it available in the App Store. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? We were referred to them through a mutual contact, and we didn’t consider any other companies. They are also a minority owned partner, which we needed. How much have you invested in them? We spent $48,000 on this project. What is the status of this engagement? The approval process for this contract took longer than anticipated, but we began working together in June 2017 and completed the project in September 2017. We have a 2-year contract, and we expect to collaborate with them again in the spring. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We have received a lot of positive feedback from the client, which they gathered through observations made from others and their key stakeholders about the program. We’re happy with the website and app, but we will get a better sense of the program’s full impact in the spring because there isn’t as much park activity during the winter season. How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? They were adaptive and flexible throughout our collaboration. They were responsive throughout all of our interactions. They had representation present at all of our meetings, so they stayed engaged and involved. I’m a novice when it comes to understanding the technical backend of development, which is why we hired them, and they were fantastic. They were willing to ensure that everything ran smoothly. What did you find most impressive about them? I work in the design industry, which is highly populated by egotism. However, I didn’t experience any of this while working with them. For instance, although they have design capability, we didn’t use them for that purpose, but they never tried to interject their designs into the project. They focused on meeting the needs of the client by using the best functioning interface for the product. Are there any areas they could improve? There is a marked difference in the industries we operate in, despite being adjacent. For example, our methods of billing differ. This was more of an annoyance because we didn’t get paid from our client until the project was completed, but we had to pay Plego upfront. --- #### Web Development for Digital Games Company **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Nov. 2013 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Plego designs, develops, and maintains numerous web-based games. Site management is also included. Mobile versions of the games are currently being developed. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Owner, Boom Industries - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Dec 8, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Out of all the potential partners, Plego was the best-equipped to handle the project size. Reliable and good customer service are a top priority. Although they don’t offer 24-hour service, Plego still meets their customers’ expectations. "“They supply exactly what we want, and the games are successful.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the owner of Boom Industries, an Internet company that supplies digital games to the restaurant and bar industry. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? We needed someone to create our games and manage our website. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We have a few different games that Plego has developed: a spin-to-win type game, trivia, night at the races, bingo, etc. The games are web-based and displayed on TVs at bars and restaurants through our website, with other gimmicks and promotions from the location. Plego also maintains our e-commerce website, and they’re currently developing a mobile version of our trivia game. They do dev, design, and all the support. What is the team composition? Including the owner, who's very involved, three people are on our team. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? We put out an ad, and they called about it. We interviewed around eight developers in total, but we chose Plego because they were definitely capable of delivering what we need, and the other firms didn’t impress us. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent over $200,000. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together since November 2013, and it’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re pleased with Plego’s work, and none of our clients have complained. If any games need to be fixed or updated, Plego does it. They supply exactly what we want, and the games are successful. How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? They don’t supply 24-hour service, so if a game goes down in the middle of the night, I have to wait until the morning to fix it. Some bars are open until 2 or 3 in the morning, so that can be an issue. But other than that, they do a great job. What did you find most impressive about them? If I don’t like what they made, they’re willing to fix it at the original price we discussed. It wasn’t always like that, but we’ve come to have a great partnership. I’m still with them because they provide good customer service and work. Are there any areas they could improve? I would love 24-hour service. --- #### SQL Development for Marketing Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2012 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Plego migrated software from MySQL to SQL using a scaled database and new integration tools to increase capacity. Concurrent integration and migration projects for e-commerce and web are on-going. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Co-Founder, Animated Vision - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 10,001+ Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Dec 5, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: New software implementation prevented likely revenue losses without those improvements. The database is stable and handles new capacity. Great results at fair price points benefited from significant investment in time to understand processes and objectives. ""I already recommended Plego to several companies; they’re all happy." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I own Animated Vision, which is an interactive marketing company that produces custom web applications for furniture manufacturer clients. We develop online furniture design tools and do 3D modeling and photorealistic images. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego? We needed to migrate our sales support tool from MySQL to SQL when our client base and the number of listed products grew too large for the former. We required a partner familiar with PHP to build a new database with increased capacity. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? First, the team learned our software, how it’s integrated with our web applications, and subsequently designed a schema to scale the database. They built integration tools to allow communication between the old and new databases. That helped execute product updates, revisions, and deletions. After completing the database and its integration points, the team built out the support. Since we’re a small company, we use Plego on a number of related projects. This has been our practice since the initial engagement. We’ve collaborated on custom web and e-commerce projects in addition to digital communication between our applications and client web services. Currently, they’re helping to migrate our existing WebGL platform to another vendor. Other services include: PHP, programming assistance, PayPal integration, JavaScript, and HTML. How did you come to work with Plego? They are the successor firm to a company we previously worked with. We were not satisfied with that company; Plego’s management resolved those performance gaps. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent between $100,000 - $200,000. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been partnering for 5-7 years and the work is on-going. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Since our business is based on a subscriber model, we measure this project’s success by client attrition. We would have lost larger accounts in the SQL development did not occur. It’s very important to us that our databases are stable and can accrue additional information. Our tools are managed on a daily basis and need to be operating 24/7. How did Plego perform from a project management standpoint? We communicated with Amin [Managing Partner, Plego] closely. We had bi-weekly meetings with his team. Overall, they’re very competent; we never worried about deadlines. They hit milestones without charging more than the original estimates. What did you find most impressive about them? They’re rates are very competitive for the volume of work they produce. They tend to complete tasks on-time and on budget. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Make both sides are on clear on the project’s parameters and set objectives. Those initial meetings are crucial because they allow Plego to work on ‘auto pilot,’ which is convenient for the client. They do a great job with that. --- #### Custom Web Application for Plastics Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Sep. 2014 - Dec. 2015 **Project Summary**: In two major projects, Plego Technologies provided a product information management database and consolidated multiple websites into a single corporate website. They now provide ongoing maintenance. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Vice President of Marketing, Manufacturing Company - Industry: Manufacturing - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 19, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: The database has increased internal productivity and supports with the quality and accuracy of information that is shared publicly. Additionally, traffic to the corporate website has increased. Plego Technologies is service-minded and customer-focused.  ""They certainly know the technology, but their ability to respond to customers is impressive." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. At Jessup Manufacturing, we make adhesive coated films that go into many industries; everything from other manufactured products, to transportation, to even some medical and consumer goods. I’m the VP of marketing and strategy. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Plego Technologies? We needed to create a product information management database. Plego is strong in structured data, so we hired them to create our product information database that we use today. We also had rebranded and repositioned the company, and we needed to create a new website along with that. We had multiple websites for different brands, and we decided to consolidate them into a single corporate website that would span all these brands. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? For the product information database, Plego Technologies started from scratch. We didn’t have one place where all the product information resided. We basically mapped to our enterprise system for certain types of data on the standard parts that we sell that would be part of our engineering master. Then we added marketing data, such as short and long descriptions, feature bullets, and photographs. We use the database internally and externally. We’ve created a standardization, and it’s a resource to everyone in the company for product information on standard products. It gave us a huge productivity boost and helped us with the quality and accuracy of all kinds of information uses. It’s kept up to date, and it’s a central repository. There’s clear accountability for who keeps the data clean. The external benefits are very significant also. We sell through distribution, and many of our customers have online stores, so we provide data feeds from this database to our customers. That’s a critical benefit to them. For the website project, in addition to creating the site, the task was to import all the relevant pages and information from the other four existing sites. That was a considerable task. We had started down a path, both creatively and technically, with a different company. We found they did not have the capacity to do all that we wanted. We went to Plego, who was working on the database project at that time, and asked if they had the capabilities. They said they did, and they helped us create that website and get it launched. Since then, they’ve been providing maintenance and updates. WordPress is the basis for the content, and then we decided together to change the hosting of the websites from GoDaddy to Rackspace, with a dedicated server. We had specific ideas about how we wanted the website to function. We got some samples of WordPress templates and had them tested technically by Plego. An independent design firm did the design, and then we handed it off to Plego. I work more with the principles of the firm, so I can’t even say how many team members they had on our projects. I know they have a larger team, and my connection with them is limited. For example, if we have enhancements or bugs to be fixed, we load it into a tracking program called Lean Testing. Other team members review it, but I don’t deal with them directly. How did you come to work with Plego Technologies? Plego Technologies worked for me when I was with a previous employer. I hired them to do another product database, some web maintenance, and enhancements. What is the status of this engagement? We started work in September of 2014, and we launched the website in December of 2015. Our relationship with Plego Technologies is ongoing for maintenance and updates. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement? I don’t have specific metrics on hand. I can say that there have been significant increases in traffic to our website. As far as the productivity gained from the database, it’s so high that it’s like night and day. During our transition, we literally went from weeks to prepare documents for customers, down to minutes. It’s a great leverage that we have now with this database. Both projects are great regarding reliability, functionality, and stability. Since these were developed uniquely for us, we had some bugs to fix, but that’s part of having applications. We worked through them. How did Plego Technologies perform from a project management standpoint? Plego Technologies is very good. I like that they are very service-minded and customer-focused. We use Lean Tracking to track bugs, and we have used Basecamp, which is useful for people outside the company. What did you find most impressive about Plego Technologies? I would say the service level is really one of Plego Technologies' strengths. They certainly know the technology, but their ability to respond to customers is impressive. When you’re talking about technology tools, they’re 24/7. Sometimes needs come up over the weekend or at any time, and it could be day or night. It’s very valuable to me that, if we get an attack on our site on a Saturday night, I can actually get a response from Plego. I think that is a strength. They clearly understand business applications very well. They’ve been great partners. Are there any areas Plego Technologies could improve? I guess the only thing would be, as my company grows, they’re a small, lean company. I would hope Plego Technologies could keep up with us as we grow. They’ve shown no signs of not doing that. --- #### Web Maintenance & Updates & Web Design for Legal Network **The Project** - Services: Web Design, Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Nov. 2025 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Plego has taken over a legal network's website maintenance and updates.

They had multiple processes in place for their inventory and quote management activities. These activities consisted of managing multiple spreadsheets, numerous email chains, and manually editing data within the spreadsheets based on analysis of past data. This process was very time consuming and cumbersome. For inventory management, the primary driver of this process was an Excel sheet. The data was manually retrieved from their back-end system, SAGE (ERP), and entered into an Excel Sheet. This sheet was also used to forecast inventory. They adjusted the spreadsheet to adjust for sales growth to allow for a more accurate forecast. This process was also manual. Users had to analyze previous period’s data without the assistance of any sophisticated algorithms or metrics, only what was available to them in Excel. Magic Chef was in need of a major technology and process upgrade which Plego delivered! DELIVERED: Plego developed a cloud based web application that made the entire process more efficient. A Forecasting solution was also developed and integrated with their SAGE ERP system. This solution allowed Magic Chef to integrate all their processes previously held within certain spreadsheets into a robust, efficient, dynamic and real-time web application. The application allowed for greater potential for reporting, advanced calculations, greater historical data, faster retrieval and search of data, controlled access and permissions, and accessibility anywhere in the world. The workflows for sales, logistics and sourcing teams have been fully integrated. Automatic notifications and updates to relevant team members make the communication within teams much more efficient. The need for exchanging files or emails has been negated with this fully integrated management system in place. TECHNOLOGIES USED: .NET, SQL Server, MAS ERP ### Scan AM GOAL: Scan Am has been a pioneer in advanced public health and safety communication systems.

They wanted to ensure that Patient Care Technicians had access to accurate, real-time patient data in and outside the patient room. DELIVERED: Plego was brought on to develop a custom five-part EMR solution for hospitals. Plego designed and developed an application with centrally supervised precautions to manage control of precautions displays for each room,  While enabling remote functionality to update the patient room boards, inform families, and plan of care, Plego automated centrally maintained electronic whiteboards and integrated a reports management package through charts and graphs to increase staff efficiency, track their progress, and provide comprehensive consulting.

DELIVERED: Plego implemented a multi-site Magento strategy for Franklin Covey. Each site had a different theme, purpose, and mission. Some stores focused on training and events and others were more focused on the sale of products. At the end of the day, they all shared the same Magento back-end. The combined stores have over 10,000 skus, along with 2,000 events/courses. Events can be on-site or virtual. On-site events must choose locations from a custom event locations database. There is a custom Magento to Moodle integration for Online courses as well.
