The two developers Valor Software assigned to our project were fantastic. They really knew their stuff when it came to NodeJS, React-Native, and all the other tech we needed. What I really appreciated was how they didn't just code - they actually improved our whole architecture and made the app way more stable.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Valor Software to accomplish?

• We worked with Valor Software to develop a new, streamlined mobile app for our NGO, which focuses on disaster relief and community development. Our previous app had been overly complex, difficult to maintain, and expensive to operate due to custom-built solutions, including a bespoke authentication system and proprietary payment gateway. These complexities caused delays in decision-making, high maintenance costs, and created technical debt that hindered our progress. When we approached Valor, our goal was to build a more efficient, cost-effective app without custom development where possible. Valor proposed using a pre-built design system, out-of-the-box services, and existing cloud solutions to reduce both costs and complexity. They also suggested transitioning from AWS to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which better aligned with our needs and allowed for smoother integration with Firebase services.

Valor utilized their design system to speed up the development process and implemented Firebase Authentication, which simplified our user management. The Stripe API was integrated to handle donations, significantly lowering transaction fees compared to our previous setup. Additionally, they reduced the overuse of microservices, replacing them with Firebase Cloud Functions, which streamlined our backend.

Despite the challenges of working with teams spread across different time zones, Valor adjusted their schedules to ensure smoother communication, holding regular meetings during overlapping hours and using tools like Jira and Slack to keep everyone on the same page. They adopted an agile methodology, introducing sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and a focus on delivering features incrementally, which kept the project moving forward efficiently.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The automation of mobile app testing with Appium, integrated into their CI/CD pipeline, allowed us to reduce our QA team size by 70%. This cut down on costs and sped up deployment times, improving our ability to respond to feedback and issues.

Throughout the project, Valor consistently delivered on time. They communicated openly and addressed any challenges we faced promptly. Their project management was highly efficient, with regular sprint planning sessions to prioritize features that aligned with our goals.

• We hired Valor Software to address significant issues with our existing data pipeline and warehouse. Our company was struggling with inefficiencies in data processing, particularly during peak load times, which was causing slow reporting and negatively affecting customer satisfaction. The previous system, built by another vendor on AWS using Lambda functions and Redshift, wasn't scaling properly and led to frequent delays in decision-making. The machine learning model we were using also produced inconsistent results, and our global teams faced communication challenges due to time zone differences.

Valor Software stepped in and transformed our system. They designed and implemented a cloud-native data pipeline on GCP, which has made a huge difference. Previously, we relied on AWS Lambda functions and Redshift, but the costs were mounting, and the performance just wasn't reliable. Valor’s solution was more agile and scalable. They implemented GCP’s Dataflow for real-time ETL processing and replaced Redshift with BigQuery as our main data warehouse. This change cut our operational costs significantly, while greatly improving the speed and accuracy of our analytics.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We had also been struggling with the results of a generic machine learning model from AWS SageMaker, which often led to inconsistent predictions. Valor created a custom ML pipeline using TensorFlow on GCP’s AI Platform. This was a game-changer for us. The new model delivered far more accurate, tailored recommendations, and we noticed an immediate improvement in customer engagement and conversion rates.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about Valor was their deep technical expertise, particularly in NativeScript. Their developer had a strong command of the framework, allowing us to build and optimize our application efficiently.

Beyond their technical skills, they also demonstrate a problem-solving mindset—proactively identifying challenges and offering effective solutions. Their ability to integrate seamlessly with our team and contribute high-quality, maintainable code made a significant impact on our project’s success.

If you’re looking for a vendor with strong NativeScript expertise, Valor is a great choice.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Valor Software could have done differently?

Overall, Valor Software provided strong technical expertise and reliable project management. However, one area for improvement could be proactive communication regarding potential blockers or delays. While they were responsive when issues arose, earlier flagging of challenges could have helped us mitigate risks more efficiently.

Additionally, more structured documentation or knowledge transfer processes would have been beneficial to ensure smoother handoffs and long-term maintainability.

That said, these are minor areas for refinement, and our overall experience with Valor was very positive. Their NativeScript expertise and responsiveness made them a valuable development partner.
