Outstanding Experience with PowerGate – Highly Recommended!

After a disappointing experience with a previous software developer, my business partner and I were left traumatised and extremely apprehensive about engaging another developer. As this is our first venture, we feared facing similar issues again. We spent months speaking with different developers, but none came across as sincere, until we connected with PowerGate.

Initially, we were close to choosing another developer, but then we had a conversation with Kevin from PowerGate. Right from the start, we felt heard and reassured. Kevin was diligent, an excellent listener, and took the time to truly understand our needs, unlike others who seemed eager to jump straight into business. He thoroughly explained the entire development journey, which gave us confidence to proceed cautiously.

To test the waters, we started with the design phase, and that’s where Lexi and Amy truly impressed us. Their work was phenomenal, far exceeding our expectations! The design outcome was stunning, and we were beyond satisfied, which gave us the assurance to move forward with full development.

Throughout the process, the PowerGate team has been incredibly creative, meticulous in planning, and exceptionally patient. Conversations with them are effortless, and they genuinely come across as a passionate and supportive team.

We absolutely love working with them and can't wait to see our project come to life! Super excited for what’s ahead! 👏

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We needed to develop a web and mobile app that connects students, parents, and teachers. The apps' main features are online lessons prerecorded by teachers, interactive practice tests, surveys to analyze students’ abilities, and weekly reports of students’ learning progress. Our team consists solely of businessmen and education experts, so all of the technical work was carried out by the PowerGate team. 

We were able to fully explain our needs and requirements to their team. Regular catchups were organized during the building of the product, and we were always kept updated on the progress. Close and detailed communication worked out, so when the first version was delivered, we were very satisfied. After the web app was completed, we went on with the mobile app based on that.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We started with the web app. Several meetings were held during the design phase. They only did the design phase in 2 - 3 weeks, and we continued with the build phase. After working together, PowerGate Australia helped us to lauch the MVP in only 3 - 3.5 months. After the web app was completed, we went on with the mobile app based on that. Since the release of the website in 2014, we have been gaining stable monthly growth and have gained a total of ~ 400,000 users.

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

The project manager was responsive and understanding. They have excellent communication skills and can translate tech language into easy-to-understand business language for us. Phone calls and online meetings were made regularly for updates and feedback. They were very timely in meeting deadlines.
