BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a lending institution.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Relevant Software?

We were using a third-party platform that we had customized, but it wasn’t meeting our needs. Hence, we decided to design our own software from the ground up.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Relevant Software has developed our software from scratch. We started by telling them what we wanted, and they scoped out the work. The team has migrated our data and built two platforms for our investors. We’re currently working on a third platform.

We’ve built our software on AWS, and Relevant Software has guided us on what technology stack to use.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with around 9–10 people, including Natalia, two business analysts, a project manager, a DevOps specialist, two developers, and a UX/UI designer.

How did you come to work with Relevant Software?

We found them through a Google search. We did some background research and spoke to a few of their clients, who spoke very highly of them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $800,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We handle around 7,000 loans a year, and our busiest period is between July and August. We’ve always had a surge in the summer, which ended up with long wait times. However, we've seen a big change in our ability to handle the volume during the first summer we used the platform. We’ve definitely improved our efficiency and bandwidth, and our net profit is up 25% year over year. We’ve also achieved a better customer experience and continue to improve upon that.

How did Relevant Software perform from a project management standpoint?

Our project has lasted a bit longer than we expected and cost more than we expected. However, there were things they couldn’t foresee when they scoped out the work. We use Slack, Google Meet, and Google Docs for project management and communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with their transparency. They function as an extension of our team and take care of the labor resources. Overall, they do a decent job managing us as a client.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Add 50% to whatever budget they give you. It’s not because they’re trying to underquote; it’s because of the nature of the project. They can only see what you can show them.

The primary goal of the project is to develop a software platform focused on system monitoring for proprietary IoT/robotic devices during real-world deployment, pilot studies, and evaluations. We aimed to address three key aspects: 

• providing support of the proprietary IoT/robotic devices and end-users in case of technical issues, 
• facilitating component updates for the proprietary IoT/robotic devices, and

Therefore, it is of paramount importance that this system monitoring and logging platform focuses solely on gathering device info without collecting any user data or interaction details.
