TechnBrains

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the Chief Products Officer with a tech startup creating a new social networking space.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with KoderLabs?

We needed an outsourcing partner to build the code for our application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We're currently in stealth mode, hoping to release beta in the coming weeks, but our product is an iOS/Android application with certain platform features. While we initially hired them for development, we realized they had a wide range of abilities, so we also engaged them for design.

What is the team composition?

We didn’t go in with any specific team requirements. We discussed the project and they assigned designers and developers as needed. They're really smart guys and very mature considering their youth.

How did you come to work with KoderLabs?

Because we’re a startup developing a new idea, we wanted an outsourcing team we could trust. Technical skill was important but not as valuable as knowing our idea wouldn’t leak to the public before launch. We considered a number of companies, but KoderLabs was recommended by a friend of our CEO, and we liked their proposal.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2017 and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve conducted tests on our end at various stages of development and we’ve noticed that the product is becoming increasingly stable. The number of bugs is decreasing and we’re very close to completion. This has been a difficult architectural job, so I’m happy about the fact that we’re nearing completion so quickly.

How did KoderLabs perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re very professional. They have a project manager who translates our Google Docs into Jira and we used the entire Atlassian suite throughout the project. I also call their team once a week. I find that deadlines are often spotty with outsourcing companies, but scheduling works fine as long as you provide a buffer zone.

What did you find most impressive about them?

In my experience, some outsourcing companies tend to avoid difficult questions and offer excuses. This is not the case with KoderLabs. We’ve had some difficult discussions over the last few months, but they’ve approached these openly and with a straightforward attitude, providing honest feedback.

My partner and I spent a week visiting KoderLab’s office to get a sense of their company. They create a positive work environment, even providing lunch for their employees each day. This showed us that their company is built on a solid foundation. They don’t cheat their employees and they don’t cheat us.

They also have a strong business sense, which I appreciate because I like working with people who know what they're doing. They work hard and their team now understands our product better than we do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Two things. First, there's a tendency to recycle previously written code. This may make sense for quick jobs, but it becomes a problem on long-term projects. As features are added, the code becomes increasingly unwieldy.

Secondly, while they move quickly to produce a prototype, producing a stable product is an entirely different challenge. Still, they offer affordable rates, so some trade-offs are to be expected.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

As you should for any long-term engagement, take time to know who you’re working with. Visit their office or, if that’s not feasible, meet in an agreed-upon location. Once you know them, you’ll see that the KoderLabs team are very nice people. Having those connections will keep communication running smoothly during the project.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a mobile employment application software that companies can buy and customize to meet their specific hiring needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with KoderLabs LLC?

I needed an agency to basically build the software from scratch. I had the idea, and I needed someone to provide the tech work.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

KoderLabs built the platform and currently provides service and maintenance. The web app is mobile friendly, and it offers a QR code, text number, and/or web link for potential employees to access and apply for a job. Companies go into the software and customize their application with different forms and questions depending on the job they’re hiring for. After people apply, the hiring manager or recruiter goes into the backend and can begin screening and contacting candidates.

KoderLabs used open source code to develop the software and integrated Twilio for the texting functionality. We continue to work on the product and upgrade it as needs and technology change.

What is the team dynamic?

I communicate mainly with KoderLab’s founder, but I occasionally speak with developers if needed.

How did you come to work with KoderLabs LLC?

I vetted numerous companies, but they were either expensive or offshores and hard to communicate with. A colleague in the area had worked with KoderLabs, so I looked into them and hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent close to $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in 2013, and we’re still working together.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Without them, I wouldn't have a software platform. Whenever a bug pops up, they’re responsive and proactive in getting it fixed, often before I even know it’s broken.

How did KoderLabs LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

We used a project management software that let us both update and review the project, and add notes and documents. They’re responsive and, if they don’t know an answer, they’ll find it for me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The whole team has a wide breadth of knowledge in many different technical areas. They helped me understand things I should look out for, suggested additional features, and really took on the project as an equally-contributing partner.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They're very creative, so listen to their suggestions because they’ll provide some helpful ideas.
