SOLUTION

I've been in touch with them for over five years, and we've worked on two Magento projects. Most companies have certified developers and good project counts. After a few detailed calls, however, we realized that Rave Infosys understood our vision and matched our price, terms, and delivery times best. I had already worked with them and was familiar with their process, so it was easy to arrange meetings.

They also followed basic SEO rules to promote our online presence.

On the home page, products are sorted by popularity, price, and position. Clicking on a thumbnail redirects to the product detail page, where users can compare the product with similarly priced options and preview shipping and tax. After checkout, buyers receive a thank-you message and email with their order ID.

They've assigned a project manager and a developer. We've also spoken with the designer and the SEO team.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We especially appreciate the diligence and collaboration they've exhibited throughout the project. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their most impressive quality is their attention to detail. They add their ideas to ours, producing a more worthwhile result and delivering the best solution.

Our goal was to create a project management and collaboration tool for our internal teams to complete tasks more quickly. Using this tool, development teams work together with design, marketing, and IT teams to release high-quality projects.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Someone in our marketing group recommended them. We asked them to visit our office to discuss the details.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

We built the tool for web, Android, and iOS. We developed the web version first. The tool allows users to sign in with a domain or personal email address and create a watchlist to view important project issues. They can also connect with other users and invite them to a project.

Once inside a project, users can manage projects graphically using burndown and Gantt charts. They can create sprints and tasks easily with inline editing, which doesn't require an extra screen to edit information. The notebook feature enables them to create a comment stream for each task or event.

We're excited to work with Rave Infosys on the mobile app development phase. We'll roll out more elements on the tool.

What was the team composition?

They provided one .NET developer, one UI designer, and one QA specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The project streamlined our project management and increased our efficiency and timeliness. Our internal team was happy.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They managed it easily. They didn't assign a project manager, but the team responded promptly and our developer was sharp and quick.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Since we were hurrying to develop the application, we gave them strict deadlines. Rave Infosys didn't disappoint. Their willingness to listen and think through challenges, rather than applying instant fixes, created an application that exceeded our expectations. We didn't just build a business deal; we built a relationship that has strengthened over time and contributed to our long-term success.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

Every project has issues, bugs, and items outside of scope. We reached out to Rave Infosys about issues, and they fixed them.

Also, the site was running on an older version of analytics ga.js, which they sought to upgrade to the latest gtag.js.
