We needed a company that could help us put together a remote operating center quickly. The remote operating center is designed to help monitor our autonomous trucks when they're on the road and allow a team of people to look at the activities when there is no driver in the vehicle.

We hired Solvd, Inc. to help us build a frontend where the remote user can easily monitor a fleet of trucks and dive into individual trucks to look at issues when they come up. It serves as a central operating center for us to track and measure the program's success and to have eyes on the trucks when people are not locally in the vehicle.

I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of users to see what the most optimal design elements were, so we already had an excellent structure to begin with. With that being said, Solvd, Inc. was instrumental in getting that Figma UI/UX design flow out so that we were able to do a quicker turnaround for our users to actually get feedback and walk through the usability and the workflows. How did Solvd, Inc. perform from a project management standpoint? Solvd, Inc. performed well in terms of project management despite the fact that their time zone is different than ours.

In a former role, I was head of sales, marketing, and customer success for a consumer electronics company. We developed smart glasses specifically for sports cyclists. Essentially, the product allows users to project data in front of their eyes, such as heartbeat or distance traveled. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Solvd Inc? In that role, I worked with them on the company e-commerce platform and corporate site. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We were a small company with limited development resources. I wanted to expand our capabilities by hiring a partner. When we brought them on, their involvement in our operations expanded over time. They started off by developing the frontend of the platform. Then, we decided to stop working with our backend developer and allocate that responsibility to them, too. From there, they took on a customer portal project that fell under the authority of a different division. We kept using them for different projects because we were very happy with their work. In all of that, they helped us through several development challenges. For instance, we wanted to enable metrics like speed and heartbeat to change in real-time depending on user actions. If they looked to the left, the video projection would pan to the left. We couldn’t figure out how to build this internally, However, Solvd Inc listened to the requirements and returned with several different approaches that would fulfill the experience. In addition, they provided cost and time estimations that would cover everything, including development and QA testing. Over the years, they worked on several other projects with us as well. In that way, they delivered what could be considered a turnkey solution.  What is the team composition? At a minimum, we worked with two resources. When we were approaching a big deadline, headcount was between 6–8 team members from their end. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? Several years ago, I was frustrated about not having the reliable web development resources we needed to most effectively operate. I asked one of my employees to explore freelance websites and randomly select five companies that could potentially help us. From there, I gave each vendor $100 and a development challenge that served as a test. After that, I reviewed the code and quality of service for each. We found Solvd Inc to be the best and started working with them. How much have you invested with them? In total, we ended up spending between $100,000–$250,000 on their services. That came out to about $10,000 each month. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in May 2017 and continue to do so. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? I worked with a super dedicated team that cared about quality. They have a sizable QA testing department, so they’re always thinking about providing high-quality deliverables. While Solvd Inc values precision and a job well done, it’s very hard to find developers that can create something without bugs. My expectations allowed for a few bugs. It was more important that our partner could think through all the possible end results and tackle tough problems. Then, when we go into testing, that minor bugs can be sorted out. They were definitely able to deliver on that front.   How did Solvd Inc perform from a project management standpoint? I collaborated with two project managers who were both very responsive. Their communication was great. It took within an hour to hear back from them. When they promise to get back to you, they do. We found them to be incredibly responsive and organized. What did you find most impressive about them? They gave me peace of mind throughout our collaboration. I could trust in their ability to research technologies, estimate costs, and solve major problems that touched every aspect of our product. In all of that, they could take the heavy lifting off my shoulders. I see them as true partners because I know I can count on them to address my needs and goals. They provided top solutions and met the required deadlines. There were instances when they worked through the night several days in a row to meet deadlines. Even though I’m with a new company now, I still use their web development services.   Are there any areas they could improve? I can’t think of anything. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Gradually, make them aware of all aspects of your project. They took tons of weight off my shoulders, but that didn’t happen on day one.

We decided to hire a distributed team to get coverage around the world. Our team was originally introduced to their frontend developer, who’s led the charge in building our product. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? While working with us, they’ve touched pretty much every part of our site. We’ve had an ongoing relationship with them for quite a few years. They’ve helped us build out the frontend of our product. In that effort, we’ve gone through several Angular migrations with them. They’ve led us through that process. The product they created is the marketplace for film projects that are ready for financing. We offer a few services that allow transparency and profitability forecasting for a given project. Our team recently introduced an opportunity matchmaking service, tool. They’ve made all of that possible on the frontend, working on e-commerce elements, script analysis, financial analysis. Beyond that, they’ve enabled the site to interact with external APIs and render data to be compatible with them. At this point, they’ve been fully integrated into our team. It feels like we’ve been partners forever.  What is the team composition? Right now, we only have one developer working with us. However, headcount has varied slightly in the past. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? Initially, we were looking for independent contractors online. We found Solvd Inc and had such a great experience with them in our trial phase. Our team decided to continue to work with them based on the high-quality developers they’ve introduced to us.  How much have you invested with them? In total, we’ve spent between $150,000–$250,000 on the project. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in May 2017, and our engagement is still ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Their developers go above and beyond in their work. They’re proactive with the product and are invested in the effort. There’s usually only so much we can expect from independent contractors in terms of investment, but they work extremely hard. Additionally, they collaborate well with our team and communicate effectively.   How did Solvd Inc perform from a project management standpoint? We have an in-house production team that set up mockups and frameworks. Solvd Inc communicates with the team to make sure specs are clear before going into our code. They’re great about checking in to make sure we’re happy with their developments.  Communication is easy, especially through the developer we met initially. He’s stepped up to a more senior role in the effort because he knows the product fairly intimately. His job is to make sure the code meets our standards and coordinate with the rest of the product team. He’s very attuned to our needs, and we’re satisfied with the work.  What did you find most impressive about them? They’ve created the platform swiftly with their top-notch developers. The quality of developers and communication has been excellent. I’ve never had a bad experience with them, which is surprising given our long-term partnership.   Are there any areas they could improve? I can’t think of anything. We’ve built a positive relationship that I hope to continue for a while. Do you have any advice for potential customers? We’ve benefitted from making sure that we get proactive, communicative developers. Communication is extremely important, especially with a remote, distributed partner.

" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the founder and CEO of a fashion technology company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Solvd Inc? We needed help with front-end development. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Solvd Inc works to deliver a prototype that would help us to reach a proof of concept. We provided wireframes, which weren’t done professionally since I’m not a UX designer but their team has been able to translate our ideas into functionalities well. The product will function as a plug-in on a retailer’s website. When consumers enter a site, they'll be asked questions. Based on their answers, the plug-in establishes a profile. Solvd Inc has helped create that entire interface with us. What is the team composition? We’ve worked with a project manager who was also a developer at one point. We have about five people total on the team. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? We started working with them through Upwork. The initial contact was good, and our engagement grew from there. What is the status of this engagement? The project began in April 2018, and our collaboration with Solvd Inc’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Mainly, we’ve used Slack but have moved to Jira as well. They’ve been excellent. What did you find most impressive about them? They’ve been a trustworthy and reliable team to work with.

They built data transfer and visuals across web, iOS, Android, and Steam VR. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Platform Creation Company - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 9, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The product has far exceeded project stakeholder’s expectations, receiving high praise not only from users on the quality but also from engineers impressed by the backend functionality. Solvd Inc brought impressive talent to the table and understood their client’s business requirements well. "“We’re happy with the way things worked out, and our workflows and task orientations run really smoothly now.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. My company develops medical education technology, and I’m the president and CEO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Solvd Inc? We were looking for someone to provide an entire development stack. We had no in-house developers, so we need everything from backend database content buckets, to web-based administrative tools, to a VR frontend user client on web and mobile. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Our goal is to provide health care students with additional tools to help them understand more complicated topics such as anatomy. We needed to develop a full-stack VR application that would place students in the situations they were studying, and we needed to develop it with the capability to scale this up to a global level. We relied on a variety of developers through Solvd Inc who performed different tasks like architecting the database and designing the code that would drive the database and the user interface. We required a graphics engineer who was able to handle the incoming 3D content that we make use of and was able to perform a lot of optimization tasks on that. In order to make the application as high quality as we wanted and also deliverable over a cell network, we had to invest heavily in our development talent. Everything had to be able to draw information across web interfaces, iOS and Android, and Steam VR quite quickly. What is the team composition? At any given time, we had 2–4 people working on the project, and the allocation of those resources shifted over time between more senior and junior developers as certain objectives were met. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? I’ve known one of their employees for close to eleven years now from a content management project that we worked on for another company. We stayed in touch over the years, and once he started working with the folks at what is now Solvd Inc, their experience and expertise just seemed like a perfect fit. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $300,000 on the project.   What is the status of this engagement? We worked with them from June 2017–April 2019 **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The opinions of professors and students using the content are what we really value most because ultimately that’s who our customer is, and we’ve gotten some really great feedback on that side. Instructors are constantly telling me how easy the program is to use and how quickly everything loads and students have also said that the environment looks and interacts better than anybody else’s. At the same time, we’ve actually gotten feedback from people on the engineering side remarking on how smoothly everything operates. One gentleman, in particular, was kind of flabbergasted and didn’t believe that it was on the cloud at first. So, we’re really proud of the optimization that we’ve achieved in that regard. How did Solvd Inc perform from a project management standpoint? We’re happy with the way things worked out, and our workflows and task orientations run really smoothly now. Once we both got used to each others’ style of operation, we were able to map out the operation very well. What did you find most impressive about them? I think the most impressive thing is their scale. They have so much different talent that they’ve been able to grow their company very quickly and having access to all those different skillsets for different requirements can be extremely useful on a project like this. Are there any areas they could improve? Our approach to project management has evolved over our relationship, and we had some issues to iron out in terms of managing priorities and communication channels at first. I think that’s mostly attributable to organizational changes within their company and the usual kind of growing pains that you see in a project, more so than any inherent problem. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Pay a lot of attention to your specifications upfront wherever possible. Have somebody on your team who’s heading up all the wireframes, mockups, etc. This is true of any project, but the more time you spend in the planning stages, the quicker and better the result. --- #### Software QA for Personal Finance Site **The Project** - Services: IT Managed Services - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Sep. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Solvd Inc handles all QA tasks for a financial advising company, running regression testing on pre-developed processing software and assisting with product development. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Senior Director of Engineering, NerdWallet - Industry: Arts, entertainment & music - Client size: 201-500 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 23, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The experience and tools that Solvd Inc brought to the table at the beginning of the project significantly sped up processes and allowed the collaboration to hit the ground running. Their team is skilled at project management, ensuring that all parties have the resources they need to be effective. "“They are the most well-rounded service provider I’ve ever found.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I work for a company called Nerd Wallet, which is a customer-first finance advice company. I am a senior director of engineering here. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Solvd Inc? When I joined Nerd Wallet around two years ago, there was no QA aspect of our business, so it was basically a content only company. Once we started to become a little more product-centered in our services, we were introducing more complicated features and realized we needed a QA department to go along with it. I was charged with building and hiring the resources we needed to get that done. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Solvd Inc is involved in all QA tasks that we do across the board. Their team brought in tools and information frameworks they had already established in order to manage similar systems. They are the main execution drivers on all of our regression testing and on all of our development projects as well. What is the team composition? They have about 17 individuals working on our account. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? I interviewed multiple companies for the work we needed, and my main interest was that they be a one-stop-shop. I didn’t want someone to do manual testing, because I knew that as we scaled, we were going to need to be able to automate these processes. I also wanted the company to come in with their own expertise because I had other generational challenges that I needed to solve so I needed them to be able to handle that aspect of their work internally. They ticked all the boxes there, so we went with them. How much have you invested with them? Right now, we’re spending almost $1,000,000 a year. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together since September 2017. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Because of the infrastructure that they brought to the project, we were able to take advantage of the reporting functionality and could actually measure the results of the runs really quickly as everything developed. Having their solutions for automation means you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and getting up to speed quickly in that way was a huge bonus for us. How did Solvd Inc perform from a project management standpoint? They have a great understanding of bug tracking and logging issues and are willing to shift their working hours so they can accommodate any needs we have. Their hard work gained the respect of our developers in San Francisco, which is a very difficult thing to do. Their team does a great job of communicating with us around timelines and issues. They always make sure that our headquarters has all the information they need to effectively make decisions and that they have all the resources they need to keep up with the pace we ask of them. What did you find most impressive about them? They are the most well-rounded service provider I’ve ever found. Easily one of the best companies I’ve ever worked with. Are there any areas they could improve? Because there is such a big cultural difference between Eastern Europe and California, individual members of their team often don’t have the best interview skills, but we’ve actually been able to work with them on that aspect in order to help their team demonstrate their talent over people who just present themselves well. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Go for it and just have clear expectations for what you want out of the engagement. If you don’t know yourself and your goals as a company you will never be able to scale effectively, no matter how much help you have. They can help you in every other way after that. --- #### QA & App Testing for Fitness Tracker **The Project** - Services: Application Testing - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: Sep. 2012 - Feb. 2015 **Project Summary**: Solvd Inc improved QA procedures for a health and fitness company.

The release schedule exceeded expectations, and the relationship was bolstered by Solvd Inc’s flexibility, responsiveness, and strong skillset. "“We really depended on them, and they were great to work with.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I was the CEO of a health and fitness community. We helped people make better decisions about what to eat, with over 200 million members. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Solvd Inc? We've worked with them for years. Originally, they helped us with QA. We were a small team, and we faced challenges with bugs. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They did a phenomenal job fixing our QA process. Together, we did manual testing, and they added a lot of automation over time. That work dramatically changed our development process and gave us the ability to test faster. The platform was built for iOS, Android, and a Ruby on Rails web app. We recently moved to React on the frontend. Solvd helped with all three platforms. At the end of our relationship, they did some development work for us. We were acquired by a larger company, and Solvd eventually became responsible for all the apps and sites that fell under that new umbrella. What is the team composition? At its largest, the team was somewhere between 20-30. I'm not sure exactly how many people were directly involved or what their specific roles were. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? We hired a QA manager, and he brought in Solvd. He had a relationship with one of their founders, and we relied on them more and more over the course of our relationship. How much have you invested with them? We spent between $1 million-$5 million on their services. What is the status of this engagement? We worked together on our main platform between September 2012–February 2015. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The automation they added to our QA process sped up development and dramatically changed the way we executed tests. The quality was higher, and our release schedule was much denser. The work was quicker than anything we had done before and faster than what we thought was capable. How did Solvd Inc perform from a project management standpoint? They were terrific project managers. They're very responsive, and they took on a lot of the burden. We really depended on them, and they were great to work with. What did you find most impressive about them? They did everything well, and they're fantastic with QA automation. A lot of their team is based in Eastern Europe, but they shifted several people to US hours. They were very accommodating, and they made the process so easy for us. Are there any areas they could improve? There isn't anything I can think of that they should improve. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Have a clear idea of what you hope to accomplish and how the product should work. If you give them direction, they will give you what you want. They helped us figure out what we needed, but the clearer you are, the easier the process will go. --- #### Outsourced QA and Engineering Services for Software Startup **The Project** - Services: IT Managed Services - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Dec. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Solvd Inc provides outsourced engineering and QA services to a software startup.

Professional and transparent, the team accommodates internal processes and needs. The consistency of their expertise and capabilities, along with their strong technical communication skills, set them apart. "“They’re a fantastic and reliable partner.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the VP of engineering at Famous Industries, a startup. We make software to help everyone create and publish progressive web apps. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Solvd Inc? We needed to scale our QA and engineering capacity very rapidly, while still ensuring reliable results. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? There are two components of what Solvd Inc does. First, they do a full test pass of overnight QA. The QA is for our full spec software. Second, they do software engineering, the primary focus of which is to reduce our bug backlog. They work in our stack, which is almost entirely JavaScript sitting on top of many standard JavaScript libraries, like React and MobX. What is the team composition? We work with about twenty team members. My team has two main points of contact, one for QA and another for engineering, who we communicate with daily. We also have monthly communication with business contacts. How did you come to work with Solvd Inc? Our head of QA had previously worked with Solvd Inc. They were originally brought on just for QA, but last April, they let us know that they also had engineering resources available. We did a small trial with two engineers, and we were happy with the results, so we scaled up from there. What is the status of this engagement? The engagement began in December 2018, and it’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Solvd Inc does a thorough and careful job while moving very rapidly. They’re a fantastic and reliable partner. How did Solvd Inc perform from a project management standpoint? Solvd Inc’s communication is professional and dependable, which is a big factor of why we like working with them so much. The key to navigating mistakes or delays, which are inevitable in software development, is to be transparent in communication. Solvd Inc makes every effort to keep us fully updated. They participate fully and very well in all of our processes, such as tracking the project.  They’re also very accommodating; when you scale up quickly and get a lot of people all at once, not everyone is going to be a fit. Solvd Inc has been outstanding at swapping out team members if they don’t meet our needs. They’re also great at tracking and billing. Their invoices are extremely thorough and tell us in great detail what we’re getting for our money. What did you find most impressive about them? I’ve worked with many external engineering and QA providers for several decades, and inconsistent skill level is typical. Solvd Inc offers a high level of consistency, which means they must have a thorough vetting process. A majority of their team also has excellent technical communication skills in English, which certainly sets them apart. The extent to which their organization goes out of their way to be professional and accommodating of our needs cannot be overstated. Are there any areas they could improve? For what they do for us, I can’t point to anything. The cost and reliability are excellent. Any advice for potential customers? This is general advice for anybody outsourcing, but you should have a highly structured need and be able to describe that need. --- #### QA Consulting & Testing for Edge & Cloud Solutions Provider **The Project** - Services: Application Testing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: June - Oct. 2022 **Project Summary**: Solvd Inc. was hired by an edge and cloud solutions provider to perform thorough pre-release testing for their website.
