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

Shinetech was engaged as MOA Benchmarking's outsourced development and QA partner, responsible for the full software delivery lifecycle across the platform.  
Scope of work included:

• Ongoing maintenance, bug fixing, and regression testing of the existing platform to ensure stability and reliability
• Enhancement and expansion of core modules — Audits, Surveys, and Quality Indicators — including new features, configuration options, and performance improvements
• End-to-end development of new platform modules: National Quality Indicators (aligned to the Australian Government's NACMQIP requirements), Feedback & Complaints, Incident Management, and Risk Management
• A comprehensive front-end UI revamp to modernise the platform's look and feel, improve usability, and ensure consistency across all modules
• QA testing across all new and existing features, including functional, regression, and UAT support

Key deliverables:

• Stable, continuously improved existing module suite
• Four newly built platform modules delivered to production
• Modernised, redesigned front-end UI across the full platform
• Ongoing QA coverage and release management support

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

1. All development sprints were delivered on time and within their allocated timeboxes, maintaining a consistent and predictable release cadence throughout the engagement
2. Four new platform modules were successfully delivered to production within agreed project timelines
3. The front-end UI revamp was completed without disruption to existing platform operations or active customers
4. Ongoing maintenance and QA cycles were sustained sprint-on-sprint with no significant delivery gaps or escalations

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

Shinetech demonstrated strong project management throughout the engagement. They worked within an agile sprint framework and consistently delivered on commitments, meeting timebox expectations sprint after sprint without requiring escalation.

Their team was responsive to our needs — when priorities shifted or new requirements emerged mid-sprint, they adapted without significant disruption to the overall delivery rhythm. Communication was reliable, with regular touchpoints that kept our team informed of progress, blockers, and upcoming work.

Overall, they operated as a dependable delivery partner rather than just a vendor, which made the day-to-day management of the outsourced team straightforward.

What was your primary form of communication with Shinetech Software?

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

What stood out most was Shinetech's consistency — they delivered sprint after sprint within timeboxes without dropping the ball. Managing a broad scope simultaneously while still maintaining dedication and quality throughout is what set them apart. They felt like an extension of our internal team rather than an external vendor.

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

More investment in automated testing would have been beneficial. While delivery was consistent, greater test automation coverage would have reduced reliance on manual QA and improved confidence in releases, particularly as the platform grew in complexity with new modules being added.

I am the Director of Kaiwhakangau

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

We are a small outdoor apparel and eCommerce business based in New Zealand. Our website is the primary channel for selling our products online and managing customer orders.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Shinetech Software Inc. to accomplish?

• We initially engaged Shinetech to help us migrate our existing WordPress-based eCommerce platform away from our previous local vendor. Our previous provider controlled all of our infrastructure, source code, and hosting access, which created operational risks and limited our ability to manage the platform independently. We wanted to regain ownership of our website, cloud infrastructure, and technical assets while also reducing ongoing maintenance costs and improving responsiveness.

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

The primary scope of work involved migrating our eCommerce website and infrastructure away from our previous vendor into accounts fully owned and controlled by our company. Before the migration, our hosting environment, source code, and infrastructure access were all controlled externally. During the transition process, our previous provider became unresponsive during a website outage, which created an urgent situation for our business. Shinetech reacted quickly and completed an emergency migration to our own AWS environment within just a few hours, successfully restoring website operations and helping us regain full ownership of the platform. After the migration, they also helped optimize several integration and synchronization processes, including inventory and pricing synchronization with another third-party system. These improvements significantly reduced recurring bugs and improved system stability.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project delivered several meaningful operational improvements for our business. One of the biggest outcomes was that we regained full ownership and control of our website infrastructure, source code, and cloud accounts, which significantly reduced our dependency on third-party vendors and lowered operational risk. Shinetech also helped stabilize several existing system integrations, reducing recurring synchronization issues and improving the reliability of inventory and pricing updates. In addition, the migration resulted in a noticeable reduction in our ongoing infrastructure and maintenance costs. Before working with Shinetech, our monthly hosting-related expenses with the previous vendor were typically several hundred NZD per month. After the migration to our own AWS environment, those costs were reduced to approximately around 100 NZD per month. During an unexpected outage situation, Shinetech also responded quickly and successfully restored website operations within a short timeframe, which helped minimize disruption to our business.

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

Shinetech managed the project efficiently and responded quickly whenever urgent support was needed. During a critical outage situation caused during the migration process, their team reacted immediately and completed the emergency transition work within a few hours, which helped minimize business disruption. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they were flexible in responding to changing requirements and support requests.

What was your primary form of communication with Shinetech Software Inc.?

Virtual Meeting

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

What impressed us most was their responsiveness and their practical, business-oriented approach. Instead of simply maintaining the existing setup, they proactively recommended a better infrastructure ownership model that gave us more control, lower operating costs, and reduced dependency on third parties. Their support during the emergency migration situation was especially valuable.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Shinetech Software Inc. could have done differently?

So far, we have been satisfied with the collaboration and support provided by Shinetech.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO of a company specializing in imports and exports. We have three offices, including our headquarters, that are based in the UK, and one office in Germany. We also have an office in China.

There are three main parts to our business. The first is imports/exports and logistical operations. The second is personalized manufacture, where we take orders from clients and make them in the factory. Then, the third part is the UK export to China. We also do cross-border e-commerce.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Shinetech Europe?

The project was complex, and we didn’t think we were capable of doing this level of work, even with my extensive experience with similar development. We wouldn’t be able to manage the dynamics of that kind of team, which is why we decided to outsource the work.

Importing and exporting are both daunting processes. There are many documentation requests, including those from stocking and finding products, to exporting them and make declarations. There’s are entire set of money flow, information flow, and physical goods flow. We have to align these three processes, which is what complicates our business logic.

Software development requirements are also constantly changing, so what works in the beginning of the month, may not be feasible by the end. This leads to a whole spectrum of issues, and although any software development company will face this problem, it was especially bad for us in conjunction with our business logic.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They helped in the design and development of the UI and UX for multiple industry level software projects.  

What is the team dynamic?

We started out working with only one person from Shinetech, then after we added more projects, we worked with anywhere from 18–26 people.

Shinetech is a large company, so it never took longer than a week to put a team together. I primarily communicated with a project manager, and also with a testing manager in order to ensure the software would perform effectively.

How did you come to work with Shinetech Europe?

We had a vendor selection manager at the time, and we were considering four different companies. Initially, we had a small project, and Shinetech offered a flexible engagement to us. We wanted to start with only one project because we weren’t sure if the relationship would work.

Shinetech later came to my office and proposed a guarantee of project execution, which offered us the comfort of knowing we had some protection. They were also an experienced as a well established company, so we decided to work with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from March 2015–June 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Sometimes, I would have a project manager who was familiar with the industry, which afforded me the luxury of not having to deal with the design. Other times, I had to expel a great deal of effort to help the project manager understand what needed to be done.

Industrial software isn’t heavily focused on UI or UX design because the function of the software is what’s most important. Shinetech developed functional software and delivered great value incrementally to our business for the past 3 years. 

How did Shinetech Europe perform from a project management standpoint?

We had our own project management structure, and we let them integrate into our online process instead of allowing them to manage projects independently. We used Agile and Scrum methodologies, and they had developers who were familiar with both. We used VersionOne as our project management tool. We also had strict data control.

They are an offshore company, so there were time differences, which is a big problem. Sometimes, this only allowed for 2–3 hours during our working days when we could discuss the work. However, I’m happy with them because they offered me a good price, and I wouldn’t have been able to find an onshore team within the same budget.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their team consists of very nice people. We’d previously worked with teams who actually used open source code without notifying us. Shinetech is quite different, and I actually ran a few independent code tests which yielded solid results.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They need to improve their design and management teams. They are very nice people, and they offered me a fair price, but they’re not a high-end development company. However, they’re still one of the best teams I’ve ever worked with.

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

The scope of work included conducting a comprehensive technical audit of the existing PHP/React codebase to assess its overall condition and identify critical issues that had been left by the previous development company.

Shinetech also carried out a detailed business analysis to understand our operational requirements, identify gaps in the existing application, and ensure the platform would align with the way the business actually needs to operate.

Based on both the technical audit and business analysis, they evaluated whether it would be more beneficial to refactor the existing application or rebuild it from scratch. They presented a clear recommendation, together with the reasoning behind it, so we could move forward with confidence.

Following this, they developed a detailed project roadmap outlining the proposed approach, key milestones, project timelines, and potential risks to provide a clear path for delivery.

Once the roadmap was agreed, they commenced ongoing development, implementing feature improvements and enhancements in line with the agreed plan while continuing to refine the application as the project progressed.

Throughout the engagement, Shinetech has also provided ongoing application management, technical support, and proactive communication to ensure the project continues to move forward efficiently.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After inheriting a project that had spent 17 months in development without producing a viable product, Shinetech took the application from takeover to completion in just two months - one month ahead of the original three-month estimate. From day one, their enthusiasm, engagement, and genuine investment in the project’s success were obvious. I saw meaningful progress every single day, with significant improvements, completed tasks, and new functionality being delivered at an incredible pace.

In just two months, they completely transformed the application. They rebuilt and significantly improved the quality and structure of the source code, enhanced the platform’s functionality and performance, and delivered a polished, intuitive user experience. Every aspect of the application, from the underlying architecture to the user interface, was thoughtfully refined, resulting in a stable, scalable product that is ready for launch.

Throughout the project, they consistently achieved milestones and maintained complete transparency through daily progress updates, weekly meetings, and a collaborative project management platform that provided real-time visibility of every task. It enabled immediate communication on specific issues, allowed multiple discussions to progress simultaneously without losing context, and made it easy to see exactly what had been completed, what was in progress, and what was coming next. The level of communication, organisation, and accountability was exceptional. What had previously stalled for 17 months became a high-quality, launch-ready application in just eight weeks, far exceeding my expectations.

Every aspect of the application was thoughtfully refined, from the underlying source code and architecture through to functionality, usability, and user experience. The final product is stable, scalable, and far exceeds what I had hoped to achieve. The quality of the work, level of expertise, communication, and speed of delivery made every dollar worthwhile. I genuinely believe the outcome exceeded the investment.

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

Shinetech’s project management has been exceptional. Every deliverable was completed on time, with the overall project being delivered one month ahead of the original three-month estimate. Communication has been second to none. I receive daily progress updates, participate in weekly meetings, and have access to a collaborative project management platform that gives me real-time visibility of every task, milestone, and development activity.

What impressed me most was how responsive the team was. Questions and ideas were acknowledged almost immediately, discussions could take place simultaneously across different aspects of the project without anything being overlooked, and I always knew exactly where the project stood. Their structured approach, transparency, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence throughout the development process.

Rather than simply delivering what was asked, the team continually challenged ideas, offered innovative solutions, and looked for opportunities to improve the application. They genuinely felt like an extension of my own team, and their commitment to delivering the best possible outcome exceeded every expectation I had. Daily progress updates and clear project tracking meant I always knew exactly where the project stood.

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

What impressed me most was that Shinetech genuinely treated the project as if it were their own. Their technical expertise is exceptional, but it was their level of engagement, communication, and commitment to delivering the best possible outcome that truly set them apart.

They didn’t simply build what I asked for - they challenged ideas, suggested better solutions, and continuously looked for ways to improve the application. The quality of their work, the speed at which they delivered, and the transparency throughout the entire project were unlike anything I had experienced previously. It never felt like a typical client-vendor relationship; it felt like working alongside a trusted partner who was genuinely invested in the success of my business.  I would confidently recommend Shinetech to anyone looking for a highly skilled, transparent, and genuinely invested development partner. They don’t just build software - they become part of your team and are committed to your success. Shinetech rescued a project that had stalled for 17 months and delivered a launch-ready application in just two months. Their technical expertise, communication, transparency, and commitment to quality exceeded every expectation.

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

Honestly, no. Throughout the project, Shinetech consistently exceeded my expectations. Their communication, technical expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to delivering a high-quality product left me with nothing I would suggest changing or improving.
