SemiDot Infotech

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder and CEO of a car wash company. The company was started by my father, who was a mechanical engineer. We try to make our service accessible to customers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SemiDot Infotech?

We hired them for web and mobile app development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SemiDot Infotech has designed and developed our website and our mobile application. Initially, we provided them with a feature list, and SemiDot Infotech has been involved in every step. They’ve used Figma for design, Laravel and Node.js for website development, and React Native for the iOS and Android mobile application. 

Our website has subscription-based models dependent on the usage and plans our subscribers enroll in. Our users can have certain amounts of discount depending on the plan. Users can access our car wash service and other attached services. For example, we have a premium plan where we take care of oil changes and car washes at a reduced cost. 

In total, SemiDot Infotech has built four applications; two for the end customers and two for us to administrate our services. Currently, the website is live, and the mobile application is in the testing phase. 

What is the team composition?

I’m in touch with three teammates from SemiDot Infotech: a project manager, a design lead, and a business development manager. However, the overall team includes around 10 teammates.

How did you come to work with SemiDot Infotech?

We first got in touch with them through Clutch. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $65,000–$70,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We first contacted SemiDot Infotech in August 2022, started working together in October 2022, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since the website went live 15 days ago, I’ve gotten 10%–15% more queries, and traffic has increased. We’re hoping to see more results once the mobile app goes live.

How did SemiDot Infotech perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is great. If I have any questions, I send them an email. Moreover, SemiDot Infotech stays within the budget. For project management, the team has provided us with access to Jira, where they give me regular updates. We use Zoom for video calls. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

SemiDot Infotech manages the project very well, and they’re usually the ones pitching ideas. For example, while we had the subscription idea, they proposed we could have door-to-door delivery of services. Moreover, they have a good sales team. Overall, SemiDot Infotech is spot on.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any constructive feedback; I’m satisfied with what they provide. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should have a clear picture of what you want. If your idea changes too much, it loses value, so you must know the major points you need to develop.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a real estate platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SemiDot Infotech?

I wanted to develop a platform specifically for the real estate market industry in the UK. There are many applications and competitors so I looked to SemiDot to help me create something unique.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SemiDot helped me create a platform with a blockchain integration that could show all the history and repairs of a particular property. In the British market, it’s very hard to verify the background of a property, so we developed a way for there to be transparency between the buyer and the seller during purchase.  

The SemiDot team designed and developed a website based on the documentation that I provided. This, along with a hybrid application for both iOS and Android, were add-ons to the project. They created wireframes based on our discussions and architected the blockchain integration. They were also in charge of the UI/UX design.

What is the team composition?

I was in touch with the business manager and the project manager. I think there were 4–5 people who worked on the project.

How did you come to work with SemiDot Infotech?

I wanted to find a company that had experience in web, mobile, and blockchain development. When I spoke to the director of SemiDot, I was told that if I wanted to travel to their office in Manchester, I would be most welcome and we could discuss the project in detail. It so happened that I was traveling there for work, so I was able to meet the team and explain my ideas face-to-face.

They are many blockchain development companies out there that claim to be experts, but when you start talking to them, you just know that they have only done basic projects. I like that SemiDot Infotech really has expertise with blockchain applications. For me, that was the reason I went with them.

How much have you invested with them?

Overall, we’ve spent £100,000 (approximately $136,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in January 2020, and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Once the platform is launched in a couple of months, I think it will be a key player in the market. I was able to get a couple of investors on board thanks to SemiDot’s help in creating an MVP that I could pitch.

When SemiDot first shared the mobile application with me, they told me about all known issues and that they were working on them. All problems with the app were rectified in time.

How did SemiDot Infotech perform from a project management standpoint?

They were on point throughout. SemiDot was prompt when it came to meeting deadlines, but I sometimes took more time to deliver the input that they needed from me, which delayed the project. 

We communicated through Skype and they shared their progress through the Jira boards. We also had weekly meetings over Google Meet. Whenever either of us had queries, we would hop on a call to discuss it.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I initially didn’t have the budget to cover their quotations for the project, but they were flexible to my needs and helped me secure investors. Other companies might not have taken that much interest in the initial budget that I had, but SemiDot was quite professional.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish they had more employees in Manchester, as they only have a sales office there.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I think SemiDot will be a really good fit for you if you have specific requirements which are different from mainstream projects. They have good experience with other kinds of tech as well, so as long as you know what you want, they are a good team to work with.

BACKGROUND

I’m the managing director at a taxi service company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SemiDot Infotech?

I needed their team to develop a mobile application for my business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SemiDot Infotech developed our native mobile apps from scratch. They initially created a demo version that encapsulated the basic features we required, including some modifications based on our feedback. They then used that MVP to integrate additional features before developing its Android version. The two ride-hailing mobile apps had geolocation and payment features: one for passengers and another one for drivers. Additionally, they created a web app that allowed us to organize our admin processes.

SemiDot Infotech is now in the process of completing the iOS versions of these two mobile apps. They also support us with digital marketing, and we plan to have them handle our SEO efforts soon. 

What is the team composition?

I’ve been in touch with SemiDot Infotech's business manager, who takes care of our change requests and project updates. We also work with a project manager and a web developer from their team.

How did you come to work with SemiDot Infotech?

I found their team on Google.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $60,000–$65,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2020, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

SemiDot Infotech has been accommodating and diligent in addressing issues to ensure that our apps are in an ideal state. They've also been outstanding in delivering on-point solutions that have optimized our products and business services.

How did SemiDot Infotech perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via email and Skype, while we use Jira to track the progress of the project. SemiDot Infotech has impressive project management skills. They quickly respond to my questions and requests even when these are sent outside their work hours.

What did you find most impressive about them?

SemiDot Infotech not only understands our requirements but also strives to deliver a customer-oriented work approach.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't have any complaints so far. SemiDot Infotech has been consistent in meeting our needs.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you explain everything you need out of your engagement, SemiDot Infotech will be able to capture what you want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the founders of The Buddha Village, a business services firm. We provide a B2B service in terms of getting clients onto our platform and providing them leads to the service provider so that they can get in touch with them and convert the leads into business. We also provide various how-to documents.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SemiDot Infotech?

We needed someone to develop our website and mobile app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had an idea of what we wanted with the design. SemiDot Infotech helped us turn those designs into a website and mobile apps for iOS and Android. They did both the design and development, and they’re doing testing right now. 

SemiDot Infotech helped us to manage the database that we had. They created a subscription plan for those who want to purchase our services. They provided almost all of the same services on the mobile apps that we have on our website. They used Laravel and PHP for the website. The apps are native.

What is the team composition?

The project manager is our point of contact, and he has a team of designers, developers, and QA working with him. There are 8–10 people working on the project.

How did you come to work with SemiDot Infotech?

We started looking for a service provider, and we reviewed a lot of people. SemiDot Infotech had worked on similar apps and websites in the past. Their examples were very effective in terms of designs, and the pricing was competitive.

How much have you invested with them?

My company has spent $170,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We should be going live mid-November if testing goes as planned. We’re very satisfied with what they’ve provided to us. We’ve gotten exactly what we asked for. There are sometimes a few changes that have to be made, but that happens to everyone.

How did SemiDot Infotech perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re very prompt and on time. The project manager is to the point and very helpful in providing ideas for design and development procedures.

What did you find most impressive about them?

SemiDot Infotech is outstanding. We had something in mind, and they met it almost every time. When our app comes out, you’ll see it’s very attractive and modern.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’ve covered every aspect. We have no issues right now.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be cooperative with them. Any delays that happened were from our end. If you keep providing them feedback, they are to the point and give you exactly what you want.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of 500 BC Foundry, Inc., based in the greater Washington DC metro area. We create mobile wisdom games that take an entirely new approach to provide health tech solutions by starting with the question: Why can’t wellness be fun?

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SemiDot Infotech?

The SemiDot team is helping us develop and launch our flagship app, TapRoots. The project has 3 primary components:

• The gamification of SELF DISCOVERY: Users uncover hidden strengths; get a higher perspective – stop comparing
• PLAY; make it fun and intuitive so that users can easily unwind with games relevant to real life; learning through play builds confidence
• REWARDING: Unfold potential; a new way to invest in yourself, powered by the blockchain

What were your goals for this project?

We are building the first game of introspection, with a rewards system powered by the blockchain. This is a significant challenge - and the SemiDot team has been an exceptional partner in not only delivering on the objectives, but helping us improve the User experience throughout our development.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We searched for technologists with an successful track record in mobile app development, PLUS blockchain development experience. Not an easy combination to find.

Describe the project in detail.

We’ve built a bridge back in time to awaken ancient lessons, with a linguistics-based algorithm to harness them to create the world’s first Wisdom Engine.

Its role is to deliver wisdom on demand while activating EQ (Emotional Intelligence), curiosity, wit, grit, instinct, intuition and resilience – critical survival skills passed down since the dawn of time.

We call this Ancestral Intelligence (AI), and we help users unearth and apply it to their daily battles for a ‘life full boar.’ [Sages are standing by.]

What was the team composition?

Project manager, UI designers, blockchain engineers, animators, QA. Very smart, dedicated, thorough!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are approaching launch, but I can say without hesitation that the quality of the final product has evolved tremendously through the exceptional work by the SemiDot team.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow experience has been excellent. We are a small team with a big mission, and feel grateful and fortunate to work with SemiDot on our flagship app.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I have worked with superb engineering teams over the years, but few have had the combination of skills and attitude that the SemiDot team brings to the table... Engineering know-how, project management and follow-up, quality orientation—all of it makes them fun to work with!

Are there any areas for improvement?

Again, we are so grateful that we chose SemiDot, and expect to work with them on our extensive product roadmap going forward.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of a blockchain company that provides anti-counterfeit services for brands and enterprises by ensuring product authenticity and transparency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SemiDot Infotech?

We had them build a globally accessible website that links to token sales, especially as tokens have become a pivotal component in the recent resurgence of technology.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The website development included blockchain development and creating a mobile version of the site and a working prototype on supply chain solutions with Hyperledger code. The supply chain is a platform that enables all the network participants to have the same visibility and provenance of items as they move across the chain. The solution enables consumers to place orders online—which are recorded into blockchain in real-time—then the products are identified and recorded. It also allows insurers of those products to see the same real-time data.

I provided them with business requirements and they did the design and development of the website. Their work on the prototype has been mainly focused on implementation.

What is the team composition? 

Our main point of contact was Jitu (VP Global Sales, SemiDot Infotech) and we had at least two developers. One developer focused on the website design and development, while the other was focused on blockchain development with smart contracts and Hyperledger code for the purposes of the working prototype.

How did you come to work with SemiDot Infotech?

I've been a member of Upwork for many years and have a lot of confidence in the offshore teams recommended on the site. I found SemiDot on Upwork and they had a very high rating. Additionally, Jitu was very pleasant to work with, so I've continued our relationship and provided them with more product.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent in the range of $75,000–$80,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together November 2017 and still have a relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We go live in two weeks so haven't received any user feedback. However, I'm part of a close community in the blockchain space and their reception of the site and prototype has been positive, which leads me to believe users will also like the product.

I also had a third party auditor review the token smart contract to see if he could identify and necessary code change or critical vulnerabilities. He didn't find anything so the code was very strong.
 
How did SemiDot Infotech perform from a project management standpoint?

We used the automated Upwork project management tools like the weekly billing and project status updates. Other than that, we would communicate through Skype and email. Their communication—especially compared to other offshore agencies I've dealt with—is flawless. Leveraging Jitu as a liaison streamlined communication to the point that as long as I was clear about my requirements, they were able to implement things right away. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their communication and professionalism was extremely impressive. The project requirements changed frequently and they were very open in terms of communicating about and integrating the changes. It was really pleasant dealing with them and I think the human element of a project is essential to success.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I would suggest they add more blockchain developers.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Reach out to SemiDot and, if you can, request working with Jitu. I would assume that any company that does that will have a very pleasant experience especially as it relates to any kind of blockchain related development, websites, or token sales.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of several businesses. We’re working on an online streaming video platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SemiDot Infotech?

Kuwait isn’t flooded with coders and programmers so we needed to outsource the job.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We explained the project for quite some time then they came back when they had questions. We told them what the target was and they worked independently towards it. They developed our web application from start to finish, doing the UI design as well. We discussed with them what was possible and they offered us different approaches. We finally came up with a very good solution.

It’s an online streaming platform for live events. We needed a platform that’s able to handle Flash because the streaming is usually Flash-based. We also needed it to work on HTML5. The platform had to work on all platform independently for iOS, Android, or web, which is why we chose to develop it in HTML5.

What is the team composition?

I had one main point of contact who I believe is a developer and partner. I also briefly talked to one other person.

How did you come to work with SemiDot Infotech?

We posted the job on Upwork and a few companies responded. We narrowed it down to the qualified candidates. We go on a gut feeling when talking to someone. It’s not only the experience and technical expertise, but it’s also if you get along with a person. I got the best feeling with SemiDot Infotech. We told them what we needed and they gave me the impression they could handle it. We assigned the full project to them.

How much have you invested with them?

Over $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2017 and the work is ongoing. This project was completed in February 2018 and we are now working on another one.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They do good quality work. They come up with recommendations on what to do better. They help us see it from a different perspective. It’s like we’re talking to someone who works in our company.

How did SemiDot Infotech perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Skype and they speak English well. There are no communication issues. Everything is delivered on time and everything runs smoothly. We communicate daily.

When there are issues, they make the changes immediately. We had a bad experience in the past with another company, but there’s nothing like that with SemiDot. I can call them 24 hours a day and they’ll quickly fix any problems.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They really make an effort to satisfy their customers. The whole outsourcing experience can be very difficult when you can’t reach the other party but we can reach SemiDot at any time, which is why we will continue working with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. It’s a very good experience.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give them simple tasks at first to gain trust. If someone is willing to do a simple task for a small budget and do a good job, you can then entrust them with a bigger project.
