ABTK Ltd. is launching an online auction site for antiques, collectibles, and the like. We're located in the UK. I am the director of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

We wanted to have a website with an appealing and professional look and feel. It needed to load fast and be bug-free, have PayPal and credit card payment functionalities, and have an integrated shipping option.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Suffescom Solutions developed our WordPress website. I was in contact with 2 of their team members, including a project manager.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

A friend recommended using Upwork for finding talent. We made a brief, clearly stating our objectives, and submitted it to Suffescom Solutions. The company seemed reasonably priced and had good reviews, so we chose them.

How much have you invested with Suffescom Solutions?

The cost of Suffescom Solutions' work was under $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The web development stage has been completed, but there are still a few more things to do, about which I've talked to Suffescom Solutions recently. We're in the process of populating our website with relevant items and launching it. Suffescom Solutions mentioned opening a new contract for maintenance. I will learn more about it and make a decision.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

We haven't had any experience with customers, and haven't shared the site with many people yet. However, it seems to work fine. I'm very pleased with the quality of Suffescom Solutions' execution.

I can hardly think of anything. Despite our five-and-a-half-hour time difference, Suffescom Solutions was always available for a chat or Skype call.

Being less anonymous and putting real names and faces to the business would be helpful, and would create a more personal business relationship. I'm struggling to recall any particular names from Suffescom Solutions' team.

I would highly recommend Suffescom Solutions, but I don't have any specific tips.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

We needed to redesign our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We did our design work, and they developed the website in WordPress. We also got their advice on how to implement things and maintain them. 

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

I was doing some consulting work for a company, and they recommended Suffescom to me. I got some quotes from other firms, but I had seen the work Suffescom had done for the company I had worked with before, and I requested the same person to work on my site.

We spent under $10,000 with Suffescom.

 The project was successful. We had some changes in the middle of the project, and I know that was challenging for them. I appreciated their patience and flexibility in working through those changes. I was happy with the technical work and the implementation. I had an expert web developer review the site, and he was happy with it too. I didn’t track any bugs since it wasn’t a complex site. We did our own testing and made changes before the project launched.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

The communication was good.

What did you find most impressive about Suffescom Solutions from other providers?

Suffescom was easy to work with. There wasn’t anything that I asked them to do that they couldn’t do. If I wasn’t happy with the results, they would find a way to make it better.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

It was to complete the development processes of the project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

When we connected, we were three-quarters of the way towards development to completion. We did have all the design files. But there is still one-fourth of the work left where the front-end had to be developed also. Multiple pages were missing, so our developer specifically helped us to fill in those missing design pages and frames. There was some front and backend work as well. We used Mantis for the bugs.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

I found Suffescom on Upwork, and my criteria was a successful rate. Suffescom had 100% success rate and multiple projects in which specifically the product that they worked on was related to auction, so it interested me that they had some knowledge on that.

How much have you invested with Suffescom Solutions?

We have spent between $5,000 and $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started in October 2016, and the project is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Suffescom needed only a few weeks to get to know the surroundings around the server and the code, which was as expected, and quickly jumped into fixing outstanding issues and current bugs.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

Regarding the response, Suffescom was always available and always on regardless of the time difference between the United States and India. We mostly communicated over Skype or by phone, but it was a very quick response always. I am very happy about that.

What did you most impressive about Suffescom Solutions?

The developer is senior, and the programmers have tons of years of experience. He’s always willing to learn, and the knowledge that we have is very complicated. Suffescom basically handled that multilayer code stack by multiple developers that we had worked with before hiring them. I’m very happy with the level of his expertise to handle this kind of load.

Are there any areas Suffescom Solutions could improve?

Not specifically.

What tips or recommendations could you share that might increase the likelihood of success with Suffescom Solutions?

Just be aware of the latest versions out there. Learn the most up-to-date technologies. They are aware of the latest versions of different plug-ins.

Not really.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

Overall, they did a good job, but at some point, I wasn’t sure about the overall planning of the system. I didn’t know the timelines, and I have to admit some of my specifications were quite fuzzy because we were discovering what the needs were as we were going. I don’t want to put this all on them, but I feel that the project planning is not necessarily their top quality.

They did well on follow-ups, though, especially every time there were items that needed to be done or required changes. They used a system internally, but I didn’t.

What did you find most impressive about Suffescom Solutions?

The value for money and their flexibility are impressive. They proposed a range of solutions and alternatives. Being an IT guy, I took the time to do the analysis work before sending it to the developers. I was able to follow up, closely as a client, and know what he was doing.

They are in India and I’m in Canada, and I've been working fluently without any problems at all, so I'm quite impressed.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

My Pet Code produces external microchips for pets. We're based in London, Ontario. I am the founder of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

I needed to develop a software which would allow the person rescuing the pet to view a profile for the animal, communicate with the pet owner, share GPS locations, and call up to 5 people simultaneously.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I gave Suffescom Solutions an outline of what I needed to accomplish and they developed my solution.

We've worked primarily with a single contact from Suffescom Solutions, so I don't know how many developers were involved in our project.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

I was told by a few companies that they could develop my software, but as soon as they got to the hardest parts, the progress stopped and they needed to outsource the work. I made a search through Upwork and found a few different candidates who seemed to be qualified. My main requirement was to have the ability to send GPS locations from the tag, through the tap of a smartphone. Suffescom Solutions' contact showed me websites similar to what I wanted to accomplish.

How much have you invested with Suffescom Solutions?

The total cost of our project with Suffescom Solutions was around $10,000.

I run my company as a one-man-show, with the help of a few people who help me during trade shows and other events. I haven't tracked any objective metrics yet.

In my opinion, Suffescom Solutions' quality of work has been awesome. I've worked with a couple of other developers from Canada who couldn't accomplish what Suffescom Solutions did.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

I have no complaints whatsoever about Suffescom Solutions in terms of project management. I was told what steps were being made and what I needed to provide. Nothing was done without my approval.

At some points, my explanations got lost in translation, but for the most part, Suffescom Solutions was better than other companies.

What did you find most impressive about Suffescom Solutions?

Suffescom Solutions delivered what they promised me, instead of stumbling along the way. Local partners that I've had in Canada always promised that they could take care of everything, but didn't.

Are there any areas Suffescom Solutions could improve?

There wasn't much creativity behind Suffescom Solutions' work. I'm not a web developer, designer, or software programmer. Most of the material I laid out was developed exactly as per my specifications, which was great, but there were some areas that, if I had been working with a more creative partner, would have been improved in terms of user friendliness and so on. However, I can appreciate the fact that Suffescom Solutions did exactly what I asked.

What tips or recommendations could you share that might increase the likelihood of success with Suffescom Solutions?

Suffescom Solutions is a good choice for clients wanting to do the work exactly as specified, rather than for people who need a more creative approach.
