Tech Exactly

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of communication apps that can help people keep safe, either on the road or with regard to mental health.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tech Exactly?

The actual solution we offer consists of two applications. We needed application development services. The initial development started with a Ukrainian partner, but the communication and flow weren’t very good. That’s why I looked elsewhere.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tech Exactly did all of the application development for us. They developed for iOS and Android, and they also developed a backend platform that essentially links the two platforms together. There’s a number of other things we get done in the backend. They have enhanced the initial driver distraction prevention solution with a number of features. Their team also optimized the flow of that solution on both iOS and Android as well as the backend platform. 

We also developed a platform that uses part of the driver app code, but there were a lot of new enhancements. Part of their task was to develop a completely new application and use as much as possible from an existing one to make sure we maintained cost as well as time to market. 

They manage everything for me and do all of the troubleshooting. Anytime there’s an Android upgrade, they make sure we’re not only compliant but also that the app works as intended.

What is the team composition?

There are 5–6 people, including a project manager.

How did you come to work with Tech Exactly?

I’m not sure how I came across them, but I think it was through an introduction. I may have done an internet search for app development in India. The communication, the solution, the overall pricing, and the approach were really good. That’s why I’ve been working with them since.

How much have you invested with them?

My company has spent $70,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2018, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The best measure has been the amount of time I spend describing something that I need, and the speed at which they can get things done. I haven’t used other metrics. They’re very good, as is their understanding. They completely understand the objective of the product. 

Recently, we wanted to expand one of the apps. I described what we wanted, and they came back with a complete list of all of the things that they’d need to do to make it happen. The communication is great, and they’re able to deliver on what a feature is intended to be.

How did Tech Exactly perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management has been as good as I can expect it to be. This is the second app developer I’ve outsourced with, and they have been much better than the previous one. It doesn’t even compare. We have a personal relationship. 

They know what we want, and they can deliver on that. I don’t have to repeatedly explain everything from scratch to a team of thousands of people. I work directly with the project manager who knows the solution front-to-back. That person knows all of our challenges, so they can make suggestions and solve problems very quickly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve always been very responsive, and that is really important for me. They have the ability to understand what I’m looking for. I get really good value for the price they charge. Anytime there’s an issue, they’re proactive about letting me know, and we fix it. There’s no disruption.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I haven’t had any complaints. For the size that we are, for the product that we have, and for the expansion plans that I have for the company, they’re very well suited, and I intend on working with them for a long time.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure your project is well-defined. Once they have that information, they can definitely come up with something that more accurately matches what you want. The more information you give them, the better for all.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and principal of Music Remembers LLC. Our organization’s mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families with Alzheimer’s through music, family nostalgia, and technology. We offer a B2C mobile application along with support and education to family caregivers and individuals who are living with Alzheimer’s disease. There’s also a B2B component that puts the solution into the hands of home health agencies, adult daycare centers, and assisted living in memory care facilities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tech Exactly?

We brought them on board for the development of a mobile app because I didn’t have development experience. The information about music improving the quality of life for those living with Alzheimer's existed but there wasn’t a platform that brought technology and music together. Also, there wasn’t an application that brought the family nostalgia element into the platform to help users with memory recall and positive mood enhancement.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tech Exactly developed both an Android and iOS mobile app. They created basic wireframes based on my ideas for features and functionalities. Then, their team essentially built three apps in one because the product’s functions account for three different users.

They built functions for family caregivers who can dispense timed playlists. These users can also deploy listening sessions to help the individual living with Alzheimer’s.

Another user’s the individual with Alzheimer’s who receives playlists on their profile. Outside family members who aren’t direct caregivers can send playlists with photo carousels.

Their team also developed a B2B component where individuals who work in assisted living facilities can receive playlists and have all the individuals in the facility on the app. Each room is cast with their own profile and can receive playlists from loved ones outside the facility.

They created functions that give any user the ability to deploy music and family nostalgia for quality of life improvement, which doesn’t stop as individuals move on to the next phase of care.

What is the team composition?

Hitesh (Founder) managed all of the elements prior to the actual development phase. When we got into the development, I was assigned a project manager. The founder was still involved throughout the project.

How did you come to work with Tech Exactly?

For the better part of 2019, I worked with a consultant who had great success in building an app with Tech Exactly. As I started to look in the market, I leaned more towards an offshore vendor because of the budget. I’m self-funded, so I needed to be mindful of budget efficiency. Given my consultant’s previous experience, I went through a rigorous interview process with Tech Exactly. I did my due diligence to understand whether or not they had both the capabilities and the vision to execute the project. At every step, Tech Exactly continued to build my confidence in them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $40,000–$50,000 on the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the engagement in April 2019 and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They translated my ideas into a functional application that’s easy to understand. Tech Exactly responded to any changes to the UX/UI that I requested. When the product was ready for a beta launch, I requested another layer for the UX/UI. Their team adapted quickly and implemented the changes layer. I’ve been impressed with them.

Although I had to hit pause on the project, their team continued to move it forward. Now, a small group is testing the beta product, which is a major win for me. Their efforts enable the product to engage everyone in the care cycle.

As well, I’m able to present the beta to the public and build excitement around the app’s release. The beta’s incredible because the functional APKs assist in fundraising. Their work’s hugely important because we’re able to make people understand that we have a digital health solution to deliver.

How did Tech Exactly perform from a project management standpoint?

We held three Zoom calls a week. Hitesh was professional and ran efficient calls. He wrote thorough summaries and meeting minutes to make sure that we were on the same page. Their team was willing to do more, even responding on Sunday nights. Their team communicated timelines well and stuck to them, which I appreciated. Their team adapted to anything that we needed in terms of schedule. They’re flexible and good communicators.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Tech Exactly provides excellent, consistent deliveries. Their value, communication, and deliverables are top-notch. I’m impressed with their ability to bring the functionalities and elements that I had in my mind for a long time to life. Their team incorporated my vision into the app well. They’re extremely efficient and proactive, delivering products early. Their high-level of adaptability ensured that they satisfied all of my requests. They fixed bugs immediately. slight tweaks and changes to the visuals. Their services are an incredible bang for my buck.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I was worried about the cost but that’s not a knock to them. I didn’t understand that on the backend, any changes that we made required their team to devote time. Tech Exactly becomes more efficient as time wears on. There was never a time when they didn’t take my feedback well. We added on elements but never had bad communication.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re thinking about an offshore vendor, there’s tremendous value in high-touch communication. A colleague of mine worked on a project onshore that cost between 4–5 more than this engagement. Tech Exactly does a good job consistently.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of an organization that markets bars and restaurants by exposing happy hours, deals, and specials to connect them and their communities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tech Exactly?

Our whole business is based on a map product that needed to be established.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tech Exactly invested time to understand my goals and ideas for the platform. Their team gave feedback. They helped to ensure the efficiency of the project and the practicality of my ideas. Their team then created a 4–5 month schedule with the actions needed to build the platforms.

Their team built an iOS app and an Android that enables bar and restaurant owners to register and add information for display in an organized manner. I created sketches based on my goal, which was to make the UX perfect. They provided feedback on the UX, explaining how best to structure the information provided by users. They also used CSS to build a website

Their team was involved in the project outside of the development. For example, I didn’t have the terms and conditions established and Tech Exactly provided a standard form.

What is the team composition?

I was in contact with the CEO and the project manager.

How did you come to work with Tech Exactly?

I found them online and liked that they offered a free call. I paid for their team to sketch the UX, which I liked. Then, I connected with the CEO and enjoyed our conversation. We talked for longer than I expected, so I decided to trust Tech Exactly with the project.

How much have you invested with them?

In the beginning, we expected to pay $22,000. I decided to implement changes based on user research. Those changes increased the project’s cost by $4,000–$5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in August 2018 and finished in December 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our users are content with the experience that our platforms provide. The apps are user-friendly which was the biggest development challenge. Our community members registered and used the apps as expected. The main success is our happy users who enroll in our monthly subscription.

We had problems with the app in the beginning but Tech Exactly fixed them. They ran tests based on traffic and put adjustments in place so that the app doesn’t crash.  

How did Tech Exactly perform from a project management standpoint?

Tech Exactly was always in contact with me via email and phone. They set the budget and time for the project, both of which were met. Every week if not more often, we held a phone call. We also had scheduled appoints for which their team was on time. Their team was ahead of the game—calling with ideas for the products. Their team didn’t just take orders, which added a lot of value for me. While we had communication challenges sometimes, it always worked out.

What did you find most impressive about them?

With other providers, owners don’t call to talk with you. Tech Exactly made the experience personal to build a relationship with me.  I still talk to the company’s owner.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t think there are areas for improvement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Do as much market research as possible. Tech Exactly doesn’t offer that service, so it depends on your organization. We can make decisions based on assumptions and that doesn’t help.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the vice-president of culture and people for an organization called SSA Group. We manage guest services such as food, retail, and ticketing for zoos, aquariums, and museums across the country.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tech Exactly?

They helped us build an onboarding app for our staff to help train and communicate with them.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The mobile application that we developed operates in both iOS and Android, as well as Android tablets. It was built from scratch and contains the full frontend interface as well as a backend that connects to our APIs and HR system as well.

Through the app, people completing onboarding can check off tasks as they complete them and have them documented on their profile. There is also a gamification piece that allows individuals already in the company to take trainings that aren’t necessary for their job as well.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with the CEO of their company.

How did you come to work with Tech Exactly?

I talked with a number of different developers in preparation for the project, and their CEO put in a lot of work before getting the actual contract in order to make sure we would be able to produce a real viable product. Based on the work that he did and the commitment it demonstrated, we decided that he would be the best fit for our team.

How much have you invested with them?

For this project, we are at about $8,000, but the success of this led to a much larger engagement with our company in which we have spent a good deal more with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started around August 2017 and is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m very happy with the work that he’s completed for me personally, and I know that the members of our executive team are very happy with their performance as well.

How did Tech Exactly perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is spot on. Our point of contact is very attentive and provides very detailed responses to all of our questions or requests. I love working with him.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The level of personal attention that they provide really sets them apart from other companies. The fact that they are 12 hours ahead of us has actually been an asset because it allows us to effectively work around the clock.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There aren’t any areas I really think they are lacking in. He’s always been more than willing to work through any glitches or delays we run into, and I’ve never had any surprise fees or anything like that, so I’m completely satisfied.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You might have a little bit of a problem with the language barrier, so it’s important to be patient with that, especially at first. It doesn’t affect the quality of his work in any way, but it might be worth communicating over video chat rather than phone call just to make sure everything is being communicated properly.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the co-founder of Lela Beauty LLC, an app that provides on demand beauty services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Tech Exactly?

We originally hired Tech Exactly to build our mobile app, however, due to their integrity and great work, we decided to also hire them to build a custom website for Lela Beauty after we had a terrible experience with another company we had already paid in full. Tech Exactly took on the new task and completed the task in just weeks.

What were your goals for this project?

My goal for this project was to take a minimum of a year, however, their proposal was for less than that which was impressive.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I interviewed with multiple companies, however, what attracted me the most about Tech Exactly was the customer service. For a new company, it was important for me to be able to feel nurtured and I felt that Tech Exactly gave me the guidance and support I was looking for. Bigger companies focus more in mass production and it makes it difficult for smaller companies to walk with a team directly.

Describe the project in detail.

Tech Exactly built us an app available on apple and google store. The app allows users to read blogs, select services, select location they would like the service to be completed at, the time, pick their hairstylist, pay for the services and manage all of their bookings.

The project required Tech Exactly to build not only the app, but also a dashboard for us to manage the backend of our app. They also were responsible for all integrations. Tech Exactly also created our custom website, despite the fact that we provided a full vision, they constantly offered us alternative and recommendations to better our website and app.

They also implemented the website backend to our dashboard so we can manage all of our backend operations. The project always ran smooth because despite of bugs and fixes we found along the way ( which is completely normal), they were extremely quick at responded and extremely diligent at fixing everything immediately.

What was the team composition?

We worked with Priyanka who was our project manager and middle man between us and the developers and rest of team members. I believe the company has great organisation within their tee mates which allows projects to run more smooth and quicker.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are ready to launch our app February 1st, 2020 and we just launched our website which we have already received a lot of feedback. All this was completed in less thank a year, in only 7 months.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Extremely effective, responses were within 24 hours. As well as any fixes to bugs or changes to the app last minute were handled immediately. The organisation within their team is great, the fact that they assigned a project manager to manage the project and to be our point of contact is great.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most impressive about the company is how they manage to work with the time difference. During this 7 months, I have not felt I am working with a company in India with a huge time difference because everything has been so smooth and professional. I would definitely continue to work with Tech Exactly as our business grows and we need tomato adjustments.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Early on I told them that an area of improvement was that the meetings could be more structure to make sure we use our time efficiently. And Tech Exactly automatically started to structure the meetings and to send us agendas before the meetings.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Food For Fitness, the UK’s number one high-protein recipes app. Our app is perfect for busy families, fitness enthusiasts, or people just trying to eat healthier.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tech Exactly?

We hired Tech Exactly to rebuild our drag-and-drop app into a custom build and add additional features. The main challenge was determining which specifications the project needed.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of work done by Tech Exactly?

Tech Exactly added a new backend interface, new integrations, and additional frontend features to our app during the rebuild.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two teammates from Tech Exactly.

How did you come to work with Tech Exactly?

I found Tech Exactly through a recommendation. After the initial call with the CEO, I was confident they could deliver what I was looking for. When they sent through their proposal, the price was excellent, and their initial review was very thorough.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2024, and we launched the first version of the app in October 2024. I’m continuing to work with them to add additional features to the app.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Tech Exactly’s work was excellent.

How did Tech Exactly perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management was very good, detailed, and thorough. We primarily used Slack for excellent communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed with the standard of work and the price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Both of us missed some specifications. Tech Exactly either fixed it for free if it was a small change or provided very reasonable quotes if it required more work.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the director of Elite Strength and Rehabilitation. We work in the health and fitness industry, primarily focusing on the strength and rehabilitation area.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tech Exactly?
I hired Tech Exactly to develop a mobile app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
Tech Exactly is developing an iOS and Android mobile app for us. Their primary work has revolved around developing the framework of a workout tracker app, integrating an algorithm-based progression display viewer.

Initially, we had a meeting with Tech Exactly, during which I outlined what I wanted. I provided them with an in-depth, detailed description of all the aspects I wanted the app to include. Tech Exactly spent that first call listening and asking questions where necessary.

Then, we had a second call with them, where they showed me what they could do and what they wanted to do based on my brief. After that, we had a third meeting, where we combined the insights of the two previous calls and made an agreement to move forward with the project.

What is the team composition?
I've interacted with at least 5–6 teammates from Tech Exactly. I don't know how many more team members are involved, but I know that they're quite a big company.

How did you come to work with Tech Exactly?
Tech Exactly was originally one of the 10 different companies I approached based on an online search. The main thing that made me choose them over their competitors was the range of work they had done. Although they hadn't done a lot of work with companies in my particular industry, they had done a lot of work in different industries, focusing on mobile app development. Moreover, their cost-effectiveness was a factor in choosing them.

What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together around August 2023, and our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
My business itself is in its infancy, so we haven't noticed a significant impact on it due to this engagement. Still, the business is heavily reliant on this particular app. Nevertheless, everything has been very good so far. Tech Exactly has met and surpassed our expectations.

How did the company perform from a project management standpoint?
Tech Exactly is open to suggestions and always available to chat. There's a time difference between us, but it hasn't affected the development process or any day-to-day communication, which is good. The team has also delivered on budget.

Regarding the timeline, we ran a little bit late one time, but the delay was caused by a miscommunication issue. We've also experienced the ongoing, normal issues related to the development process.

What did you find most impressive about them?
The thing I like the most about Tech Exactly's services is their ability to take information and create something that originally was only in my head. They've been able to develop components for the app without a blueprint; they're very skilled in that regard.

Are there any areas they could improve?
There's nothing Tech Exacly could improve on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Make sure you have a very detailed brief because it'll help the development team have a better understanding of what you want. The aspects that have taken the longest to develop have been the aspects for which I haven't provided a detailed explanation. This has caused us to go back and forth a few times to get things right.
