Techuz InfoWeb Pvt. Ltd.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for a lighting company. I’m the technical product manager and lead engineer for all of our SSL [secure sockets layer] development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Techuz?

We needed to upgrade incumbent older facilities to new technology. That meant we had to develop a set of software that’s non-existent within my marketplace. In the last two years, two other players came into the industry with similar products that do not follow our regulatory body standards. We needed to follow our regulatory body standards, so we’ve decided to make a custom solution and deploy that.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built me an iOS and Android app and a web portal with an ERP [enterprise resource planning] solution, as well as a full sales solution inside the web portal. The auditing app audits the old building, and then the information goes in per the standards that we’ve developed. The app makes the logical match of what the new replacement products are going to be, produces a report, and emails it to my sales guys. It does all the financial calculations that we need. We’ll also be doing a Windows app by the end of the year. I typically work with three to five different resources from Techuz.

How did you come to work with Techuz?

I came to the company after Techuz was hired.

How much have you invested with Techuz?

We’ve spent around $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2016, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We just pushed a live update last week. We’re working through all the new changes right now with all my new users in order to start the next iteration. All of the work that they’ve done for me met the IESNA Standard [Illuminating Engineering Society of North America]. We tell them that they’ve gone from being computer programmers to lighting engineers. They have invested countless hours and resources into studying my industry and learning my terminology so that they could apply our standards. Based on my schedule, I can train them to be lighting designers so that they understand what I’m talking about. I tell them what I want, and they’re able to do it for me.

The mobile app was predicated on a power density calculation—what’s known as lumens per watt. This very simplistic matrix is only used to calculate power density. To make it a success story, we’ve actually changed that propagation to where it’s a lumen comparison—the total amount of flux or light being  produced by the fixture. We then factor in the different shapes and colors of lights, which have an impact on the performance. Where everything used to be a very static number predicated on consumption, now it’s predicated on output and has a multiple variable matrix. Techuz enabled us to come up with a correct solution and predicate it on IESNA standards.

How did Techuz perform from a project management standpoint?

These guys have really phenomenal project management. They have a web-based reporting and task system, which is used to share all of the different parts of the program. They can take PowerPoint presentations or videos and things that I have, digest that information, and turn it back around into a steady platform.

Their ability to communicate has been phenomenal. We do a lot of Skype phone calls where we share each other’s screens and a lot of still image captures. I’m notorious for building 100-page PowerPoints and sending it to them, and they go through all of those. There’s not a form of communication that we don’t use other than standard phone calls due to international rates.

What did you find most impressive about Techuz?

I was impressed by their ability to adapt. They were building a lighting software with an accountant and an electrical engineer, and nobody in the entire organization knew anything about lighting. We were looking at everything that they’ve ever done in a different way to be able to change and keep up within six months. It speaks volumes. It’s what enabled me to say, “Yes, this custom platform is where we need to go and stay financially committed to.” I could tell my bosses that “This is a way of venturing forward.”

It took me three months to find a limit, where they couldn’t turn in something within two days. It took me a long time to start throwing very heavy, complex matrix calculations, what ifs, and different formulas at them for them to actually need a minute to respond. Most everything that I ask them for was done by the next day. The team from Techuz is very nimble, very responsive, and very available. They do all of these great technical things, and they produce phenomenal code.

Are there any areas Techuz could improve?

The artistic impression of certain things would be the only critique that I can give them. That’s in terms of modernizing the way that things look, a lot of which is left up to the client. Think of it as wrapping it up and putting on a pretty bow—the wrapping is good. The bow? Not so much. They could expand on their graphic diversity and the look of things, but I’m sure that’s pretty much predicated on the client. They need to show something that makes it interesting, adds a “wow” factor. I’m not saying that the stuff is flat. It’s not. It’s very dynamic. It’s very intuitive. It works very well, but it could be more. Every time I’ve asked for something more dramatic, they’ve been able to deliver. It’s just not something they initially offer, and I think that has to do with their business model.

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

I would say reach for the sky. There’s nothing that these guys can’t do. But in reaching for the sky, you have to be a very practical person. You have to be able to give them the relevant information that they need in order to be successful. In any project, set them up for success.

Make sure that you know what it is that you want. If you don’t know what you want, then state that. Coming into something lukewarm and half-knowing is fine if you can own that as a product developer. The minute you can admit and express what your downfalls are as the project coordinator, they can fill that in for you. They’re excellent at doing that. But if you take the approach that you know everything, you’re not really using them to their fullest potential. Just like with any artist, you have to give them the leeway to give you an artistic interpretation of what it is that you want. And if you don’t like the end result, they can always change it. But know what it is that you want going into this kind of business platform and working with someone like that. Make sure that you are well-equipped to go into this kind of endeavor. It’s very detail-oriented. The more details you can provide, the better they will perform for you.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are one of the foremost emerging menswear brands in the Indian online market. The company was started in 2011. We mainly sell through our own channel, but also through major Indian premium fashion marketplaces. We’re also entering the offline retail market. We bring style and menswear together, guiding and inspiring Indians to look sharp and dress smart.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Techuz?

We built our own online platform at the start of the company. Our aim was to connect directly with consumers, in a manner which would not have been possible offline—where we were restricted by the store managers and stylists appointed to our brand. In terms of content, product styling, trying different looks and launching products quickly, the online space is a beautiful place to achieve this. Our visibility can be expanded to any location, albeit it requires a lot of digital marketing effort. It was the best way for our company to start, and we have gained quite a lot of visibility in India by doing so.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Techuz developed our Magento e-commerce site. I interacted with two or three people from their management team, as well as with a couple of technicians. I don’t know exactly how many people worked on the platform, but we had two main points of contact. We discussed each and every feature with Techuz. The site required a lot of customizations, including measurement modules, all of which were implemented nicely.

How did you come to work with Techuz?

They were referred by one of my friends. I trusted their reference. Techuz was a good fit for our needs, so I didn’t consider other options.

How much have you invested with Techuz?

The cost of Techuz’ work was around $10,000–$15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Techuz in March 2013. The platform was completed within three or four months, but we’ve given additional requirements to Techuz that would continue the development for almost 1 ½ years. We launched the site in August 2013.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Techuz delivered what was expected in an excellent manner. It was a fairly optimized site, but I don’t have any basis for comparison. We have continued to scale the platform. People have appreciated it a lot. The platform has become a standard in our industry. Many other companies are looking to build sites similar to ours.

How did Techuz perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything was delivered on time and within budget. We mainly communicated over the phone and shared requirements through email. The platform was completely tested before delivery, and we had a chance to evaluate it before launching.

What did you find most impressive about Techuz?

We were impressed by their ability to roll out requirements on time and understand what is expected of them. I’ve had experiences with other firms, before and after working with Techuz, and always saw mistakes. I never had any issues with Techuz. They had the ability to take requirements, understand, and implement them perfectly.

Are there any areas Techuz could improve?

There’s nothing I can think of.

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

Be clear about the requirements and have a good understanding of the project. Once a scope of work is ready, Techuz will take care of everything. They have a strong tech team who can manage and implement the work.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

SecureVault Consulting is a solutions provider and cloud-hosting company predominantly focused on enterprise applications such as Oracle business solutions, EBS, PeopleSoft, etc. We also do host a number of Oracle backend with web frontend apps for various clients. I’m the director of cloud services. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Techuz?

Our niche is various Oracle apps—on the sales side of Oracle applications, PeopleSoft applications, ERP, etc. Our client’s project was a high-end web frontend configurator that would really stretch our capabilities to its limits. Rather than derail ourselves, we wanted to find someone who had the right expertise to do this quickly and efficiently. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

One of our clients was trying to come up with a sophisticated but low-cost—it's hard to put both of those in the same sentence—web-based app that would have a database backend. It would allow them to let their clientele of customizable high-end automobiles come into the website and be able to pick, in a configurator application, all of the attributes that they were interested in of an automobile. On the fly, the configurator would modify the look and feel of the automobile that they were configuring for themselves and show options and pricing of every attribute and option.

They would begin with a default, de facto automobile. When they were done, it would be totally and completely customized—the outside, inside, engine, and many other functionalities—to their liking. At the end, they would be able to self-service and create a login for themselves, add credentials, and save the configuration, so to speak, of their own parts. Whenever the item would be ready, they would be able to submit deposits and basically initiate the build of their automobile of choice.

How did you come to work with Techuz?

We did interview a good six or seven companies. Amongst them, Techuz came out first in terms of the rating scale that we had. In this day and age, it didn’t really matter to us where the provider was. First and foremost was having that sense of comfy/cozy with their ability to do the job. Their background showed that they had the technical skill sets to do the work. We had to make sure that they had the right level of communication and organizational skills to be able to work with us efficiently, and we felt that it was there. Aside from those skill sets, then, of course, came the price. Pre-existing customer satisfaction was another criterion. I think those were our top five criteria in picking them. We did reference checks on them, saw their work, and got some detailed technical specs of the work. In the end, we were convinced that they would be able to do the job better than anyone else in our list of six or seven companies.

How much have you invested with Techuz?

Let me preface this answer by saying that for typical companies we spoke to that had the other qualifications, when it came to price, they were anywhere from three to four times higher. That was somewhat scary because here's a company that appears to have the qualifications but is a lot less expensive. Our typical tier-one competitors for them were pricing their app at somewhere between $15,000 to $25,000. We got this app done with $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

They started roughly in August of 2016 and ended by late September or early October of 2016. They completed the work, but our client modified the requirement. Techuz bent backward and forward to meet them and deal with their scope changes without really increasing the costs. In the few places where they actually did make a change request, that was more than justifiable. The client understood and accepted, so they completed the project on time and within budget.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This particular product wouldn't qualify for producing analytics; rather, it is the architecture of the work. The key in this project was that the product needed to be scalable and modifiable and that every entity in the app had to be database-driven. Those key criteria were met, and we knew that because every time a change was requested, it didn't architecturally change anything, other than adding a field here or there to a pre-existing table. The client was more than satisfied. In fact, we've had multiple other clients introduced by them because of the level of satisfaction they've had from the product.

How did Techuz perform from a project management standpoint?

Vaibhav [CEO, Techuz] was our primary point of contact, and we found him to be extremely responsive and pleasant to work with. We saw him and interacted with him, and he worked with his team on the backend. He understood requirements, deliverables, and timelines, and he delivered to that.

What did you find most impressive about Techuz?

From our expectations and what we got at the end, our sense was that, for a project of our size, this was the most reliable app development we've had in some time. Techuz understood the specifications in terms of the quality of deliverables. Vaibhav was able to understand what was expected in terms of the look and feel of the product. They were able to meet our expectation completely. All in all, they were there technically. Personally, I would say that Vaibhav wasn't nickeling or diming us or our client, and he was there to make sure that promises that were given were kept. Everybody was basically happy at the end of the day.

Are there any areas Techuz could improve?

As a business owner, I think that the one case that came up was the client requested changes for things that were really out of scope, and Vaibhav took it and delivered. Then, at the end, he requested to be compensated for it. I shared with him that I understood where he was coming from. I saw that his request was fair. But, in that particular case, he had not brought it up. He went ahead and did the job first, and then afterward he brought it up. I felt that this was not quite the right way to do it. Professionally, when you notice a scope change, you bring it up right then and there: either the client agrees with it and you proceed with taking care of it, or they change their mind and may or may not want to do it, once they realize there is a cost associated with it. In this case, Vaibhav's team already had taken care of the request, and it was an after-the-fact issue. So, if the client didn't accept, which they didn't, there was nothing that we could do.

Fortunately, a few other things came up later. This time, I had my honest conversation with Vaibhav and asked him to please bring up these issues. The moment you feel that something is not within the original scope, bring it up because you understand specifically what it's going to take to get it done. You see the scope, and you understand if that's changing the scope better than anybody else. From that point onward, they brought up anything that they felt looked like a change, and the client was okay with it.

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

Clarity is always, in projects, our best friend. In the beginning, if you have any specific technical or architectural expectations, lay that out flat. Know what tool sets and so forth they’re going to use to develop the product. Specifically ask, in advance, for an architectural diagram and entity relationship diagram that shows all the tables, fields, and objects that are used in the project. This documentation would let you drive the project with more clarity from the get-go. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I run Wallace Park Indoor Tennis Center in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. I’m the director.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Techuz?

We were looking to build an application to link tennis players together so that they can meet each other and therefore book more of our tennis courts. We were trying to sell our tennis facility by getting people to play more so that we would increase usage of the club. The app would also put our noticeboard online; whenever we're running events at the tennis center, it would go directly to people's phones, where they're going to see it as opposed to seeing the noticeboard if they come to the club.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I had a Word document with what I wanted each screen to look like and they worked from that spec. They delivered the product that I was looking for based on that. I had a clear idea of what I wanted them to do, and they did it very well. They built us an iOS and Android app for Play More Tennis and a website, playtenn.is. Those allow us to put up information about events on the app. If players download the free app, they can click that they want to come to a certain event. This allows us to see who is coming and allows them to see what's on for their ability level. They didn’t provide marketing or strategy services.

How did you come to work with Techuz?

I found them through Upwork. What made them stick out were their reviews of people being happy with them, how many hours they had done, and their success rate percentage. That's what we were using as criteria.

How much have you invested with Techuz?

It's ongoing work because there are additions that we've now decided to put in since then. Whenever it's finished, it'll be about £22,000-£23,000 [US $28,436–$ 29,729].

What is the status of this engagement?

We started in March 2016, and it's ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The members of the club are using the app. We want to make the app available worldwide so that other clubs can use it. But for the moment, it's only our club and ours is quite small, consisting of three indoor tennis courts and a public park. Yet, we have over 200 people using the app here, so it's been very useful in terms of getting more people to play more often. Getting people to meet each other was the main thing for us. We have a lot of players who tend to play the same people every time, whereas what we wanted was that they would arrange to play with people they didn't know. It's been very useful for that.

How did Techuz perform from a project management standpoint?

Skype and Teamwork would be the main tools that we used. I give them the spec, they build the spec, and then they deliver a version to me. I check the version, and then I go on Teamwork and make a list of things that I want to be changed/corrected or improved. They work down them and tell me when those are done, and I check them off. That's how we've worked each time.

Project management has been very good. They estimated how long it would take to build along with particular things that I wanted to be added after that, and they were able to do this for me. We're adding a bit more now, including online booking. They’re really building on the success of what we did with the initial app. We've decided to expand it and use it for a few other functions as well.

What did you find most impressive about Techuz?

They are easy to work with. That was a big thing for me. Whenever you're working with a company in India, you worry whether how good their English is going to be. When I meet them on Skype, I totally understood them, making it easy to deal with. That counts for a lot for me.

Are there any areas Techuz could improve?

Not really. I haven't had any real problems with them at all. They've been quite good. There are a few things that knock things off like whenever iOS goes up from 9 to 10, but that's not really their fault. Systems change a wee bit and things on the app need changes.

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

I would recommend them. I think they are very good, and I'm glad I found them. To be honest, trying to find the right company was quite daunting for me because I haven't built an app before. I was very conscious that I could get the wrong company and it could be very difficult, but I've enjoyed working with them. It's been a very pleasant experience. They know what they're doing in terms of them telling me to use Teamwork, along with their nice systematic process of making a list, fixing the list, and ending up with the product. This helped the thing to go smoothly.

we had a tight timeline with milestones for the development with dates.  We had team call twice a week to go over the progress and deliverables.  My team put a lot of work into this up front so that it would be a more seamless process for the development.  They never missed a deadline and were very transparent about any issues they were facing or if we needed to pivot on an idea. 

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

Their team is very responsive even on off hours we can reach out to them if there is an issue and get someone to answer us.  We communicate primarily through skype, whatsapp or email.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a business development director and board member of a construction company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Techuz?

We had the idea of creating a tender system. As most tender systems nowadays are public, we wanted to create an internal tender system for large construction groups so that they could tender out specific subcontract work to a subset of subcontractors in the market.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Techuz helped us develop a custom web app; all we did was provide them with a couple of workflows regarding how we would like the app to function. Those workflows were very basic. We also had our branding done by another company, so we provided those assets to Techuz as well, which included color codes and color palettes.

Then, we worked closely together to start developing the product we needed and putting the pieces together. Although we knew what we wanted, we didn't have a clear goal in mind because this was our first time doing this kind of project. Therefore, on top of developing the web app for us, Techuz also helped and guided us throughout the project.

After we provided the initial assets, Techuz came back to us with the first wireframes. As per their experience, they also guided us regarding best practices and ways to go about certain things. A lot of things that we had put together were extremely complicated, so they followed a very simple method to keep the product streamlined.

The app has one side for contractors and another side for subcontractors; each part can create an account. Contractors have the ability to issue tenders, and subcontractors (based on their classification) can see those tenders and apply for them. Then, they go through an approval process to ensure they're a legitimate company.

What is the team composition?

Vaibhav (Founder & CEO) was directly involved in the project. We also worked with Ankush (Project Manager), a developer, and a UI/UX designer.

How did you come to work with Techuz?
We did a lot of research online through Google and went through a number of companies and developers, taking notes on everything. Techuz seemed to be the most appropriate and experienced candidate for this project.
How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $40,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around July 2019, and our engagement ended around mid-2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall, Techuz's work exceeded our expectations. We haven't launched the app yet, as we're still working on our end to tweak some details. Initially, this app was targeted at foreign markets. However, we've decided that the scope is a bit too small, so we're now negotiating with some investors in Saudi Arabia.

How did Techuz perform from a project management standpoint?

All the commitments Techuz provided, no matter how minor those were, were met. I can't remember a time when they promised a deadline that wasn't met. The reason this project took so long was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Otherwise, this could have been done in 6–7 months, as Techuz was very quick and efficient. They always delivered on time or ahead of schedule. We communicated via phone calls, emails, Google Docs, and Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I would like to congratulate the whole Techuz team, as they all did a wonderful job. Throughout the project, they provided us with a lot of good guidance and advice. The most impressive part about working with them was that they helped us realize our vision; their team brought our idea to reality.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although everyone has room for improvement, I can't think of anything Techuz could have improved on. If anything, I remember that the project got tedious at times because there were four teammates dealing with it. Therefore, the flow of communication was a little bit scattered.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

If you have a clear vision of what you want, Techuz can get the work done very quickly. However, if they end up teaching you about best practices and correcting a lot of errors in your vision, the project can drag on.
