“They’re very inquisitive engineers, plugged in designers, and want to know your business in a genuine way.”

STX Next used Python to develop an interactive frontend for a data discovery application. Additionally, they provided a team of engineers to build tooling for discretionary hedge fund portfolio managers.

STX Next provided excellent work, resulting in an ongoing partnership. The team took the time to get to know their partners and project requirements. They can be described as disciplined and experienced.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of the front office technology team of an investment management firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with STX Next?

The demand for Python developers in cities like London, Boston, and New York is fairly intense. We’re very much a Python shop and we invest a lot of time in our recruiting process and hiring standards. It was becoming increasingly more difficult to find good talent in those geographic hubs and so we wanted to expand our talent pool. We were looking for a firm with a track record of expertise.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve undertaken two main approaches with them. We started with a standalone project where we wished to enhance data discovery via a rich and interactive frontend. It was a relatively packaged up type process. Alongside STX Next, we gathered requirements from end-users, and STX Next provisioned a team that worked alongside our in-house data engineering team to build that out.

A month later, we kicked off a team augmentation approach also. During this project, STX Next provided engineers to augment our existing engineering team, which was aligned to our discretionary hedge fund building out tooling for the portfolio. The STX Next engineers became part of that team’s daily workflow, their prioritization process, and engage directly with their end-users.

What is the team composition?

They brought a team of engineers with a mix of front- and backend. They had a product owner on their side, which was really key to the success. They came to London and we did design sessions in-person. The product owner really built up a very good understanding of our business, as did all of the engineers. They handled the project management for the standalone project.

In the team augmentation set up, they provided the engineers, and we provided the project and product management.

How did you come to work with STX Next?

We knew them from a few years back when we used them to build out a performance attribution tool which is still in use to this day. We were aware that they positioned themselves as Python specialists, and it felt there would be natural synergy in partnering up with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $1 million.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2019, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re happy with the results on the standalone project approach as well as the team augmentation. From the very start of the data catalog piece they built for us, they were thinking about how to track adoption metrics for this tool when it gets released into the world. We have a set of metrics for that particular tool that we can see the uptake in our user base. I can only characterize it as a success.

We started with one standalone project, one small team augmentation, and we have since added some of their resources in the DevOps space with ongoing maintenance. The fact that we’re adding more building blocks into this STX Next ecosystem tells you about our conviction to work with them.

How did STX Next perform from a project management standpoint?

They do product management in addition to project management. They have a well-honed, agile delivery process. The other element that really complements that is they are incredibly strong in design.

They have a very capable design team of in-house designers. That’s a great leverage effect for any firm that doesn’t have that in-house expertise, to be able to draw upon that and get that rich design layer built into your products. It creates a very nice UX on an end-to-end basis. They really want to get to know your company. They’re very disciplined.

We wanted to spend that first year learning how to best interact with them. Now we’re in a place where we can plan for potentially more work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I spent a lot of time speaking with other firms in the analysis phase of this initiative. STX Next had built a really nice culture, one that we felt would be compatible with ours. They’re very inquisitive engineers, plugged in designers, and want to know your business in a genuine way.

Are there any areas they could improve?

When we first started working with them, I don’t think the finance industry was their biggest vertical. There has been a learning curve of domain knowledge. The nature of their firm is they will provide their services pretty much across industries.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Do a proof of concept. Pick a project and make it something not too scary and not too close to your core intellectual property. Embrace the STX Next way of doing things as a starting point. The process can be adapted to suit your team’s working style but get a sense of how they would approach it so that you can map the differences and similarities. They will come to your office to carry out rich design and requirement gathering sessions with your end-users. It is critical that you spend that initial few weeks answering all the questions that they ask and prompting them to ask you 10 more questions. The more time you spend with them upfront, really getting them to understand your business domain knowledge, the better the work they will deliver.

STX Next has developed an AI software tool to analyze an industrial tool company's incoming requests. The team has also created integrations with datasets from the client's ERP, CRM, and AI estimation tool.

STX Next's software has resulted in 50% more data being populated in the CRM compared to similar times prior to its implementation. The team's flexibility and understanding have been key traits of the relationship. STX Next delivers guidance and expertise to help the client achieve their vision.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the inside sales development manager of STS Industrial. We supply fasteners, valves, fittings, gaskets, and cutting tools to industries such as oil and gas, chemical, construction, and manufacturing across the US.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with STX Next?

We wanted to bring AI into our process flows and leverage it to improve speed and accuracy in the sales processes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

STX Next has managed data flow into the request process of our inside sales team. The goal is to have AI review and understand the types of requests being made and then process those requests into a CRM for tracking. The results would be a greater insight into the volume of requests that would be used for capacity planning in the business.

STX Next has built a software tool with an AI feature to provide an analysis of the incoming requests. The team has also created integrations with current datasets from our ERP, CRM, and AI estimation tool.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with four teammates from STX Next.

How did you come to work with STX Next?

Someone referred STX Next to me. I chose them because they offered good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in July 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The CRM activity is the first sign that our project is successful. As the new software begins to process information and create activity in the CRM, we can compare it to historical data and see a measurable difference. Our team can see 50% more data populated for them in the CRM compared to similar times prior to the new software.

The added data has allowed insight into activities that were previously very difficult to see. This has also allowed important communications with the customers to be captured and correlated into customer records. The team is now learning to work more efficiently inside a single tool, the CRM, compared to using multiple tools to gather needed customer data points.

How did STX Next perform from a project management standpoint?

STX Next’s project management is very responsive to our evolving needs as we learn more during the development cycle. The team is significant in keeping the project communications flowing and helping to keep the project moving forward. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

STX Next’s flexibility and understanding are the key traits of our relationship. Not knowing exactly what we need or how to bring it to existence is very stressful, but STX Next delivers patient guidance and expertise to help our team achieve a vision.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Every project has its challenges and learning opportunities. In hindsight, we can identify a plethora of areas for improvement, which is expected. However, we’re pleased with our work with STX Next and the outcome.

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

We needed to move our existing business records from relying on vendor supplied data, and create our own data management system to own and control our own data. This involved connecting and bulk exporting historical data from a CRM, Finance platform, Payment Processor, and ticketing platform. The project also required creating an ingestion pipeline for continuous updates. We merged these seperate sources into normalized data in the warehouse and connected it to a BI tool.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team met each phase of the goal incrementally, from establishing our API connections, building IAC code in our repository, contanerizing and processing data, transforming the data into typed tables, building a medallion layer architecture for data warehousing, and QA and validating the results before setting up a BI tool.

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

STX-Next delivered on our needs and met changing timelines very well. We had several logistical challenges during production and the team did a good job of realigning, staying focused, and working with us on prioritizing and making effective decisions through the life cycle of the project.

What was your primary form of communication with STX Next?

Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App

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

The collaboration and communication were the best. The team and production managers were very good at meeting our needs and our preferences, and working together so that I could be in daily meetings and we could do internal reviews of their work without delaying production.

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

Work documenntation was good and organized on the front end, but developer notes and allocation of work in retrospect needed to be caught up. This was a minor adjustment and was quickly and affectly addressed by the product manger and supervisors. It was a matter of lost focus and not malicious, and was addressed seriously and timely.

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

Initially the project began with a discovery workshop. We came away with eight deliverables, helping us leverage the expertise of the STX Next team across multiple areas of our business. We came away with requirements, a roadmap, recommendations on the system architecture, concept design, and a prototype. The STX Next team also gave us an estimate for team composition needed to develop the platform.

After we agreed on the initial scope, we dove into development. We rebuilt our previous product from scratch (web and native apps), then moved on to adding an additional tier to the paid subscription. We originally planned on this being a limited project, but we quickly realized that the skills and professionalism of the STX Next team made an ongoing relationship desirable.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Successful relaunch of our web and native applications. Successful launch of a premium tier product. Successful launch of a user-feedback-driven redesign. Functional API development to allow integrations within our industry. Ongoing work to greatly expand and improve integration opportunities.

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

We used the scrum methodology for our project. We mainly use slack and jira to communicate. The team was open to using software that our company uses vs requiring us to use new software. Overall, we have been thoroughly impressed with their communication skills. Originally I was somewhat concerned about working with a team in a completely different time zone, but we have overcome those challenges. The team is always responsive and open to hearing our thoughts and concerns.

What was your primary form of communication with STX Next?

Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App

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

I have been impressed with their ability to think outside the box and come up with new, unique solutions to problems that we have. They have taken the time to truly understand our product, audience, and needs in order to provide us with the best possible solutions. In addition, they have a wide range of specialities on their team, which allows us to pull in additional individuals while we tackle specific tasks. This was extremely helpful as we were building our search engine.

We were able to work with a search expert that guided us through the process, gave us recommendations, and was open to hearing our feedback as well. Our STX Next team cares about our product as if it were their own and is always striving to create the best possible product.

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

We encountered some challenges around expanding our product offerings with our existing team. The STX Next team worked closely with us to solve this issue by setting up a second team to run two parallel projects.

What was your primary form of communication with STX Next?

Virtual Meeting

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

Our STX Next developer was amazing. She was incredibly capable across various facets we needed, and if she was ever outside of her comfort zone, it seemed the STX Platform was there to support her -- she was able to ask other STX developers or experts about topics she was working on for us.

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

We're very satisfied. They maybe could have helped with onboarding/kick-off, but I think that was just something that we (from the customer's side) were naive about. Learning opportunities all around -- STX was absolutely great.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO at a financial advisory company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with STX Next?

We needed help from a development company to update our web platform to better manage our advisory process and make our business more efficient.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had a previous web platform that didn’t fit our company’s needs anymore. STX Next has developed a new web platform from scratch using Python and Vue.js. Our platform allows our clients to leave a review and has a reconciliation fee functionality as well. At some point, we considered hiring STX Next for design services, but we didn’t need them in the end.

What is the team composition?

We work with six teammates from STX Next, including four developers, one product owner, and one QA tester.

How did you come to work with STX Next?

I found STX Next online. I chose STX Next because they seemed professional and had the skill set that we required.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested £300,000 (approximately $376,000 USD) with STX Next.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with STX Next in June 2022, and our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

STX Next has met my expectations, and I’m pleased with the platform they’ve developed. Our users have recently started using the platform and are very happy. STX Next has shown great expertise and put the work into trying to understand what we want to achieve.

How did STX Next perform from a project management standpoint?

STX Next is impeccably good when it comes to communication. They’re responsive to my requests and very proactive. I have frequent meetings with STX Next’s service delivery manager, who always takes and implements our feedback.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with STX Next’s professionalism. STX Next’s staff is excellent, and their development team works diligently to develop the platform according to our requirements.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The project has taken longer than expected. I hoped to have something delivered in 5-6 months, which turned into eight months. During this time, we had to continue paying for the additional time because our fee wasn’t flat. However, we’ve discussed this situation, and what STX Next has developed so far is excellent.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I encourage customers to work with STX Next because they manage client relationships well.
