The TransferMex card program has continued to grow - 100% increase in active cardholders over the last year. The US Unlocked program was successfully relaunched and is steadily growing. We have implemented cross-border services using several different partners over the years. Shinetech has made sure that those transitions occurred as seamlessly as possible.

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

Shinetech consistently delivers according to the expectations they set. They are thorough in their scoping efforts and work quickly to implement solutions. They call out blockers, identify any improvements they feel are necessary, and push back on change requests when they feel it is needed. They manage their own queue of work effectively, requiring little oversight or redirection. 

What was your primary form of communication with Shinetech Software?

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

The speed at which they implement features continues to impress me. If it's a small change, sometimes it can be done the day after it was requested.

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

We are working to involve them more with our V3 platform - as that will be the platform all our new card programs will be on.

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?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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.

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.

• Delivered Staff Communications features (conversation threads, messaging platform)

Platform Modernization Progress:

• Significant contributor to EC2-to-Containers migration (dozens of endpoint/service resource migration sub-tasks completed)
• Performance enhancement — Moving to do the data layer directly in the database eliminates the need to constantly rebuild execution plans, which was a bottleneck on EC2.
• Scalability — Containers enable horizontal scaling to meet traffic demands more dynamically than the fixed EC2 instance.
• Cost reduction — Monthly savings in the thousands by decommissioning EC2.

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

Shinetech delivered consistently on schedule with no documented delays or escalations. Responsiveness was strong. The same engineer maintained continuity over the years and adapted to shifting priorities across bug fixes, features, and platform work. Primary risk is concentration in a single resource.

What was your primary form of communication with Shinetech Software?

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

The most impressive thing is their long-standing relationship stability, combined with cost-efficiency. They're embedded deeply enough to function as an internal team member, yet maintain the cost advantage of an offshore model. That combination of reliability + affordability + seamless integration is what makes them unique in the vendor landscape.
