BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO of a company that offers a dating application based on zodiac signs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ROCKETECH?

We needed support developing our mobile app. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ROCKETECH was responsible for the app's technical development, and my company was responsible for its design. We provided the app's design, and ROCKETECH managed development. We worked in a dynamic way, and both teams provided feedback to each other. ROCKETECH developed the app from scratch for iOS and Android devices. I created the app account on the Google Play Store, and the team has finished developing the app and is working on resolving bugs and implementing changes. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with six teammates from ROCKETECH, including the CEO, an account manager, a backend developer, a mobile device developer, and a frontend developer.

How did you come to work with ROCKETECH?

I found ROCKETECH on Clutch.
How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $250,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with ROCKETECH a year ago, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

ROCKETECH has launched our app, which had around 5,000 downloads in the first month. Users are completing purchases within the app, and the launch has been a success, although it has still a long way to go. I'm satisfied with ROCKETECH's work quality. We work closely with the team in the development, providing feedback and the required guidelines. ROCKETECH has delivered a good-quality outcome, and the entire team does a great job. 

How did ROCKETECH perform from a project management standpoint?

ROCKETECH defined an initial budget that we exceeded; however, this was because the project required extra work we hadn't initially scoped out. The team gave us a base budget of $80,000 and built on top of that, and I was aware going over budget was possible. We communicate via email and Google Meet. We have two weekly meetings to define the scope and ensure we achieve goals. I usually meet with the CEO, who receives my feedback. 

We work with a team with medium-level experience. Our company has corrected several details, which is common in software development projects. 

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to highlight our account manager, who does a great job in managing the project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The team has made a few mistakes but corrected them based on my feedback. I can't point out anything that ROCKETECH needs to improve. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest having frequent communication with ROCKETECH and attending meetings with the team. I also suggest being punctual with your payments because the team will complete the scope quicker. Communication depends on the client and product owners, I like to be part of the project's development to ensure the desired outcome and achieve a product our audience will like.

At first, I needed more speed and flexibility in terms of reallocating necessary specialists from one project to another. It turned out their commitment and approach to work outweighed fast resource shifting. But with past cooperation, now this problem is no longer there, which is very good and interesting For some projects, I’d also prefer them to take the Product Owner role and make more decisions.

• After an unsuccessful interaction with the previous team, we were looking for a serious and reliable tech partner capable of taking on an innovative R&D project.

Our product is a breakthrough web tool that, based on a dataset collected from medical institutions, generates disease patterns and determines a diagnosis.

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

I'm a business principal. I have been in IT for more than 10 years. I have run and worked in many startups. Because of our bad experience working with the previous team, we started to look for another team. I was in charge of replacing the previous team and talked with founders and investors. I’m working with investors and I was revising ROCKETECH's performance and results from the startup’s founder.

The Rocketech team started with a discovery sprint to analyze the existing data set and shape the strategy for building such a product. They initiated a recruiting process specifically for our project — our team was hired exclusively for us. They also conducted the process review a few times. 

While going from the pre-development to the development project stage, Rocketech built all the necessary processes and established development standards. Our main challenge is the breakthrough approach we needed to find to build our product. It’s a combination of 3 types of neural networks and computer vision technology.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After only 2.5 months, the Rocketech team managed to reach an accuracy level of 86%. They found a way to optimize and balance the project cost to achieve impressive results with limited resources. It’s an ongoing project, progressing steadily and successfully. Recently, we’ve engaged third-party experts to verify our research strategy. A mobile app is among near-future objectives.

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

They do it in stages. We start with a discovery sprint. The recruitment and pre-development processes are followed by the project’s kick-off. We got very big results in 2.5 months — a model which provided 86% accuracy. This is an R&D project and they are providing results every two weeks, we push them to give more transparency and they provide it with tools.

What was your primary form of communication with ROCKETECH?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What is impressive is their transparency and flexibility in everything they provide.

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

In an ideal world, we would like to improve development speed. However, we also understand that it’s a first-in-class R&D project. There’s no sufficient scientific research available out there yet to incorporate it into our product development.
