RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve seen clear progress through predictable delivery and improved product stability. UVIK Software has shipped the agreed milestones on schedule, reduced the number of production issues after release, and improved overall performance and usability. As a result, our team has been able to onboard users faster, respond to changes more quickly, and maintain a stable release cadence with fewer regressions.
Although we haven’t tracked every KPI formally from day one, we’ve seen measurable progress across operations and the user onboarding flow. For example, we’ve reduced production escalations and urgent hotfixes by roughly 40% after stabilization (from ~10/month to ~6/month). Onboarding from the first login to “first value” has become faster by about two days (from ~5 days to ~3 days, ~40% improvement).
Moreover, key pages and APIs have become ~25–30% faster on average (e.g., typical API response has improved from ~700 ms to ~500 ms). Our release cadence has improved from ~2 releases/month to ~6 releases/month, with fewer regressions.
Some changes from UVIK Software have had the biggest impact on the improvements we’ve seen. 
For example, their stabilization and bug-fix sprints for critical flows have prioritized the highest-impact production issues and improved error handling and edge-case coverage in the most-used user journeys, which has directly reduced urgent hotfixes and escalations.
They’ve also optimized performance in the backend and database layer by optimizing slow API endpoints (query tuning, indexing, pagination/caching where needed) and reducing unnecessary calls, which has improved response times and overall app responsiveness.
Additionally, they’ve improved the onboarding flow (“first value” path) by simplifying the onboarding steps, clarifying UX copy/validation, and reducing friction in the initial setup, which has helped users reach the first successful action faster.
Moreover, they’ve made the release process more reliable (CI/CD + QA discipline) by strengthening the deployment pipeline and introducing consistent testing/regression checks, which has increased release frequency while reducing regressions.
Finally, they’ve added monitoring and faster troubleshooting by adding better logging/metrics and clearer error visibility, which has made it easier to detect issues early and resolve them faster.

How did UVIK Software perform from a project management standpoint?

UVIK Software’s project management has been organized and transparent. They’ve communicated clearly, worked in short iterations, and kept us aligned on priorities and timelines. Overall, they’ve delivered on time for the agreed milestones. When the scope has changed, they’ve proactively flagged impacts and re-planned with us rather than letting deadlines slip.

What did you find most impressive about them?

One of the most valuable aspects of the collaboration has been stability. The level of engagement and quality has remained consistent throughout the cooperation, which has helped us plan work more confidently.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, the experience has been strong. If we had to point to one improvement, it would be more upfront alignment on scope and KPI tracking at the very start (clearer success metrics and baseline measurement). Once that has been in place, execution and delivery have been smooth.
