Please include a summary of key deliverables.We brought the team in to form what at the time was a back-of-the-napkin idea into a real application. We warned them at the time that the whole thing was an experiment, and they needed to be willing to learn alongside us about what about the software worked/didnt work, and be willing to throw away their hard work and pivot with us if we changed our minds. From day 1, we knew we had picked the right partner. Tiffanie was relentless on finding us the perfect team, and was very communicative and receptive to feedback. Most importantly, she was persistent on making us successful. We changed our minds a lot. The teams' commitment to the project never wavered. They always showed up, worked hard, and delivered. We just launched our SaaS product to a lot of warm reception because we were able to keep trying again and again to get it right. Recently we threw out some very ambitious quarterly goals, encouraged the team to take risks to get there, and to "build the plane as it flew". They delivered on every single ambitious goal we threw at them. Anybody in software development knows, that just does not happen. You never hit ALL your goals - you usually just aspire to hit as many as possible within the confines of the constraints you have. Not Vention. They roll up their sleeves, and they figure out how to get it done. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?We brought a new SaaS application to the market from 0-1, that now serves many happy customers!Describe their project management.

They are absolute rockstars.What was your primary form of communication with Vention?In-Person MeetingVirtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?What makes this company unique is the people. Every person we have interacted with from vention from intake to the lowest-level worker, is all-in on our success. You hear it and feel it in their actions. This is not a job to them. They are committed partners and we wouldn't be where we are today without them.Are there any areas for improvement or something Vention could have done differently?This is a ironic criticism but it looks like they are still figuring out the right format for middle management of their teams. They are trying and I'm sure they'll find the format that works well for lots of different kinds of companies, but in the moment, it's light. This means that as a client, you'll want to make sure you stay involved with the execution. The irony is, this creates a lot of great behaviors on our, the client's, side. We SHOULD be deeply involved. Middle management can often be an anchor to productivity. Ultimately this creates a better outcome for the client, and I can testify to those results. --- #### Mobile App Dev for Nursing Corporation **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Sep. 2023 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Vention is developing an iOS and Android mobile app for a nursing corporation.

""Vention's entire team has been very responsive, respectful, and excited about the project."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I'm the CEO of Bundle Birth, a nursing corporation. We provide educational support for both families giving birth and professionals, especially labor and delivery nurses. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Vention?We needed help to develop an app. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Vention has been developing an iOS and Android mobile app for us. This app is being built specifically for labor and delivery nurses, and it has three main functions. The main feature is for end customers, as this app tracks their child's birth and outcome. Nurses have the ability to add details about the patient's experience and the complications they took care of. All the information gets into the birth statistics to keep track of.Another feature of this app is an entire clinical algorithm. This algorithm overviews all births and provides practical recommendations for the child's care to be as safe and physiologically oriented as possible. This app is to be used by nurses on the job as a reference tool for their practice when they feel stuck or when labor slows down and seems to be moving towards a C-section to help avoid it.The app's third feature is that it collects data in order to analyze trends. With this feature, we'll be able to gather data and provide practice recommendations based on real-time births happening all over the country.What is the team composition?Ryan (Business Development Manager) has been our main point of contact at Vention. We also work with Valery (Senior Project Manager), who then takes our input to the rest of the team.How did you come to work with Vention?My director of strategy found them on Google. We were scouting companies and ended up going with Vention. Ryan was the one who convinced us about their product and this project. I'm a nurse by trade, so I knew nothing about app development. However, I felt that Ryan understood that, so there was no stigma. He also listened really well, so I felt cared for and protected, which is rare from a sales perspective.Ryan offered a personalized approach where, while he was selling a service, he was also very honest and real, which differentiated Vention from the other companies we were looking at. I felt like Ryan was a true partner who really wanted us to succeed. Moreover, Vention wasn't afraid of how inexperienced we were, as Ryan went out of his way to ensure we had the resources we needed and answered a lot of questions.How much have you invested with them?We've spent almost $150,000.What is the status of this engagement?We started the project with them in September 2023, and the project is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Our app hasn't been launched yet, so we don't have any metrics or results. Our MVP version was supposed to be launched in mid-February 2024, but we're pushing the release date based on my decision. However, I know that there's a lot of interest in our app. Nurses are asking for this app and are really excited about it.As for the quality of their work, Vention is very invested in the project, which has had a positive impact on the quality of their work. They actually care and understand what they're doing rather than just checking the boxes. To me, that sets them apart from other companies and has allowed us to develop a high-quality product.Vention has understood our vision. Our app is very personable and meaningful, and it can potentially save lives. Therefore, it has higher stakes, and Vention really understands that. Said understanding has been reflected in the quality of their work and their investment in our success.On top of that, working with Vention has been streamlined because I haven't had to hire internal people to have access to professionals who can fill my different needs to get this project done. There's no way I could have done this project on my own, as I didn't even know what I needed initially. As a result of this partnership, I've also saved a lot of money because I would have wasted a lot of time trying to do it on my own.How did Vention perform from a project management standpoint?Vention has delivered on budget and stuck to the timelines we've established. Moreover, the structure of their work is excellent, which is reflected in the Confluence tabs, where they've outlined the different features and the purpose of this app. Our communication is also very good. Although there were some miscommunication issues for a while, I actually don't blame Vention for that; I blame the design team we initially brought into the project.We have a shared Slack channel, which we use all day to communicate. We also communicate via email and use WhatsApp occasionally if there's something urgent. Additionally, we use Zoom for our virtual calls.What did you find most impressive about them?Ryan has been amazing. This is my first app development project. Still, I've learned a lot throughout the process. Ryan has stayed involved and been a really helpful liaison throughout the process.Moreover, I can't say better things about Valery — he has saved our lives. I've never worked with a service provider who cares more than him. He's very invested, listens well, and goes above and beyond his scope of duty. He works as if he were a part of our team, so we feel very looked out for, which has been essential for our app's success.Valery constantly brings things to my attention, as he's very forthcoming whenever there's a concern. Moreover, he's very professional. Initially, he didn't want to step on my toes, as I was the CEO. However, I told him that I didn't know what I was doing and to please be my eyes and ears on this project to tell me if I was missing something. Since then, he has taken that feedback and been very present. At this point, he almost knows the clinical side better than I do.Valery has cut the energy high with the team and advocated for us, staying professional amidst a lot of different personalities. This app wouldn't be where it is without him. Moving forward, Valery being on our team is essential for us to continue working with Vention. I just expect Vention to give him the raise and promotions he deserves and keep him on our project.Overall, Vention's entire team has been very responsive, respectful, and excited about the project. Moreover, they work hard and get things done, so I'm very pleased with them. For example, Vention recently brought on Hanna (UI/UX Designer). Although she has been working on the project for about a week, I've been very impressed with her skills. Additionally, she's great at delivering hard news, which is difficult to do.Based on my experience, most service providers don't listen once they're doing their job. Still, one of Vention's strengths is that they really listen. Valery, in particular, has taken incredible ownership of the project and really listens well. He also does his own research and reaches out when he needs to.Are there any areas they could improve?Looking back on the experience, I feel like Vention was initially trying to be more professional than needed, so they saw me as the boss and didn't want to offend me. Therefore, it took Valery a little while to gain some confidence to tell me things as they were.Initially, I brought an outside design firm, which they recommended, but we then had some concerns with our designs that would potentially cause us to redesign the whole app. It would have been great if they hadn't held back on the feedback and told me about their concerns even earlier than they did.Although they provided me with the feedback, I didn't really understand how much impact the designs would have. Therefore, adding more context as to how my decisions would impact the future would have allowed me to make different decisions.Nonetheless, I can also see the silver lining. Those challenges got us where we are now, which has been part of the process. Everything has gone as well as it could have gone, and I'm realistic in knowing that no project goes perfectly right away.Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?Trust your gut along the way. Moreover, I've learned that your project manager can make or break the scenario. Thus, you should evaluate who your project manager is and have them reiterate back to you the purpose of what you're trying to do to ensure that they've done their research. If your project manager is invested in and excited about your project, you'll get a better result. Additionally, ask a lot of questions. --- #### IT Staff Augmentation for Temporary Work Platform **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $10,000,000 + - Project length: Jan. 2022 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Vention provides development support for a temporary work platform.

When we're needed to scale the team the screening process has also been very smooth; our current team will typically interview new candidates and ensure the right fit before passing on to internal management for interviews and decisions.Are there any areas for improvement or something Vention could have done differently?I think due to geopolitical concerns they have already been working to broaden the number of offices across Europe and should continue to do this for greater stability. --- #### Mobile App & Web Development for Social Media Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development, Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Aug. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) develops mobile and web applications for a social media platform.

Our relationship has grown over time, and they’re my only development partner now. How did iTechArt Group perform from a project management standpoint?iTechArt Group meets deadlines and stays on budget. They’re always on track, and we decide together our next move. We use Jira for project management and Notion for planning.

Sometimes getting this quality of work is more expensive, and iTechArt Group provides excellent value to our company — their integrity is unique.Are there any areas they could improve?I can’t think of anything for iTechArt Group to improve. When we started working together, we had to figure out some things, but the fact that we’re still working together shows we could figure them out. Do you have any advice for potential customers?I recommend having a project manager manage the relationship with iTechArt Group. I also recommend conducting one-on-one meetings with your developers to address problems early on. --- #### Web3 Custom Software Development for Software Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development, Graphic Design, Product Design, Web Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Oct. 2022 - Jan. 2023 **Project Summary**: Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) designed and developed a custom platform for a software company’s end client.

We also need to build an admin web interface, and at that point needed to add a UX designer to the team so our front-end developers had a well specified design to work from.Describe the recruitment process in detail.Initially we discussed requirements with the account manager, providing an outline job description for each of the roles. We were then able to interview the candidates and set them a practical exercise to assess their skills. Upon a successful result to the exercise, we agreed start dates and simply signed appropriate SOWs. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?We were able to put our MVP into production within 3 months of inception and continue to issue new releases on a regular basis. This has allowed us to capture new clients on an ongoing basis.How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?A daily standup helped to keep everyone up-to-date on each other's workloads, and we used a shared Jira kanban board to allocate workloads and check overall progress and move requirements from initial definition, through development, QA and into production.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?The breadth and depth of talent that they have on tap is impressive, account management is also excellent - if any issues arose, they were swiftly dealt with in a positive manner.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?As with all offshore / nearshore resourcing, sometimes English was a barrier to efficient communication, but with the addition of a business analyst with excellent English skills, this problem was actually addressed. --- #### Custom Software Dev & Staff Augmentation for Fintech Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development, IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Apr. 2021 - June 2022 **Project Summary**: Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) helped create a payment processing software for a fintech company.

Despite writing code in different locations, they facilitated easy collaboration with internal team members. Effectively tackling a complex initiative, the team produced a streamlined app. ""Vention (formerly iTechArt) managed complexity and found efficient, clean solutions." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I’m the CTO of a startup working in medical device development. We’re researching new medical monitoring indications for patients with specific conditions and risks. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with iTechArt Group?We sought an integrated solution that would allow our custom sensors to interface with a variety of preexisting tablet and mobile devices. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?iTechArt developed an app to serve as the primary functional data displays captured by our sensors. They started from scratch, so we began the process by identifying user workflows and required interfaces. Their team worked with us to create a UI/UX. Once we settled on the app’s look and feel, they moved into the development phases. For its initial release, their team only built the app for iOS devices.The overall purpose of the app is to serve as the primary UI and data display for our remote sensors, which communicate over Bluetooth. The UI displays values coming from sensors in an understandable format for users. Once the user determines whether or not the data’s appropriate, they can move on to data collection, which the app handles, stores, and uploads to central servers for processing and analysis.What is the team composition?On the technical side, we had a primary contact. For project questions, we communicated with David (Sales Director). Olga (UX/UI Designer) created the UI prototype, and Nikolay (Senior Software Engineer) focused on backend coding.How did you come to work with iTechArt Group?From the beginning, iTechArt approached the project with the right perspective. Their team was interested in engaging in a rapid development cycle, which fit our needs. They were ready to understand and quickly move to the specification and prototype phases. In addition, iTechArt presented an overall good value.What is the status of this engagement?We began our initial pathfinding engagement at the end of 2019, and we started the project in early 2020.  They produced a usable output around the early third quarter. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The success of the project was determined by how the final product fit the intended use case and the number of end-user complaints. Regarding UI, backend data logs, and responsiveness, the app has performed very well. Considering those elements, the app was a success.How did iTechArt Group perform from a project management standpoint?We primarily used a high-level timeline with milestones regarding the initial concept development. After we established the initial concept, their team moved into backend work and coding. We tried to keep the use of external tools lean, so we used spreadsheets and an online tool for UI prototyping.iTechArt also did a good job with code management on the server. I had an engineer working on backend code in one location while they worked on code in another location. That was smooth.What did you find most impressive about them?I was impressed by their ability to understand what was asked and turn the question into functional solutions that accounted for the literal request and potential pitfalls. They delivered a solution that didn’t create additional issues, which I’ve seen when working with other vendors. iTechArt managed complexity and found efficient, clean solutions.Are there any areas they could improve?No, nothing comes to mind immediately.Do you have any advice for potential customers?This is standard practice but think through everything you want to do. Come to the table with a high-level vision for how all of the components should interact. --- #### Mobile App Dev for Fintech Company **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Sep. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) collaborated with a fintech company, serving as a development partner for a new product development application.

We selected them with an initial modest-focus assignment, and then expanded. I was really impressed with their effort, which is why I hired them again.What is the status of this engagement?We’ve been working together since May 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We have thousands and thousands of users, and the site has never gone down.

We have a website and mobile app to provide their details and get matched with a  moving service. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with iTechArt Group?When we first brought them on, we were looking for general staff augmentation. It’s hard to find really talented engineers. We were looking to expand our team with high-quality talent. We also specifically needed a React developer, which was very difficult to find. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Over the last two years,  they’ve built a React Native app. They’ve also developed and improved various backend features.Their Python developer worked on various backend APIs on our website as well. This would help our demand partners integrate with us.The  API allows our partners to push information into our platform so our customers would have a seamless experience.

We also provide a communication tool for our clients to contact their potential leads. I’m the CTO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with iTechArt Group?We needed to build and MVP product to show investors. iTechArt Group provided resources at a good cost to build out this product. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?It was a web application. After we developed an MVP, they helped us optimize what we already had in place. They helped us create a better version, fix some technical issues we had, move to a newer tech stack, and include new features.We initially built everything off of Twilio, so they worked closely with us on that.

They’ve coded a rebranded app, integrated an analytical model, and helped with compliance work. Their support is ongoing. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Product Management, StreetShares - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Mar 16, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: They’ve played a critical part in the company’s growth, with their work on the rebranded app helping to secure large clients. They supply proactive, timely, and skilled developers who don’t hesitate to challenge assumptions. They’re accommodating of the time difference and offer reasonable costs. "“Vention's (formerly iTechArt Group) team takes ownership of delivering the best possible product they can.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.The StreetShares platform is a multi-tenant on-boarding, decisioning, and lending platform provided to banks, credit unions, and non-financial institutions — organizations that aren’t technically banks but want to provide loans to their small-business customers. As the head of product for the platform, I'm responsible for the functionality of the component lending systems as well as conceptualization of new services in the Lending as a Service model. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with iTechArt Group?Last summer, during the pivot, we took our old application into a white label model, so that banks could actually make it feel coherent with their online banking experience. If they didn’t have a strong online banking experience, they could, at the very least, make it feel like the app was part of their offering. In doing that, we also made a number of radical changes to the way the borrower application worked. We needed more capacity to do that, so we looked to iTechArt to supplement our team. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?iTechArt provided two fantastic developers on super short notice. From a coding perspective, they started the work on the branded application before my in-house team even began on the project. About two months later, we added two more developrs. When we delivered in December of 2019, a large proportion of the application had been developed by the iTechArt developers.Since then, we've worked together on a number of other challenging projects. Throughout iTechArt has taken our ideas and concepts and run with them, delivering the best possible solutions and products.What is the team composition?We have four developers from iTechArt at the moment, and may expand in the future.How did you come to work with iTechArt Group?I’d worked with iTechArt at my previous company and had a fabulous experience with them there. When I got to this company in early 2019, it was fairly obvious that we didn’t have nearly enough developer capacity to meet our business needs. I suggested we contact iTechArt and a couple of months later we began the current relationship with StreetShares.How much have you invested with them?We’re at the low end of $50,000–$100,000. The cost is very reasonable for what we’ve gotten.What is the status of this engagement?We started with two developers in July 2019, and then brought on two more developers from iTechArt at the end of August. We rolled the project out in December. The work is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?All four developers we have from iTechArt have just been fantastic. Something I really love about them is that they’re experienced and not afraid to ask questions or suggest better ways of doing things. They challenge assumptions and drive us to try better software. When we’ve worked with offshore developers before and told them to do something, they’d do it to the letter. iTechArt’s team takes ownership of delivering the best possible product they can. They’ve been just fantastic to work with, from start to finish. They’ve been responsible for developing a huge portion of the project, and they’ve done a fantastic job.The branded borrower application — which iTechArt built a significant part of — has been the deciding factor in bringing on a number of our largest clients. I don’t have actual statistics, but I believe that our two largest clients have said that they signed up with us because they felt that the application was so lovely and provided such a good experience. It’s clearly making a huge impact on our ability to sell to our clients.How did iTechArt Group perform from a project management standpoint?They’re proactive in noting where things are and whether they might miss a deadline, although I don’t think they’ve missed any. They’re fast; if anything, we have trouble keeping up with them. They’re happy to work during our working hours. They’re off and on until at least 11 in the morning, and often until 12 or later, which is fairly late in the day for them. That gives us a nice chunk of overlap with our in-house team. They work as part of our team, and they’re right there for sprint planning, common grooming meetings, and standups. What did you find most impressive about them?We’ve been able to bring in absolutely top-caliber talent. These are developers that we’d be happy to hire locally if they were here in this tough job market. They’re just super professional, really good developers. We’ve been able to get them in quickly, which is hard to do at the moment if trying to hire domestically. We’re often looking at a three-month or longer timeframe to go through the recruiting and onboarding process. They’ve all been up to speed really fast, so they’ve been easy to work with from infrastructure and DevOps perspectives. A lot of people think of offshore teams as being second-tier, but that hasn’t been our experience at all.Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?They should treat iTechArt as part of their team and let them do what they do well. I think we’d get tripped up if we treated them like junior developers and they needed to be told every little thing; we’d unnecessarily slow them down. Clients should treat them like the senior developers that they are. My experience is that iTechArt will perform just like the local developers in the same capacity. --- #### Full-scope API Development for Applied Physics Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: July 2014 - Jan. 2018 **Project Summary**: Using a Python and MySQL, Vention (formerly iTechArt Group) has built out the technical infrastructure for a consumer information database.

The challenge After raising a $20M Series B led by real estate leader Brookfield Property Partners, Convene approached Vention for our proptech expertise. Our challenge was to build its online booking solution from the ground up, integrating it with Stripe for more streamlined payment management. Our impact We implemented Salesforce CRM to automate booking, tax calculation, and property tracking, dramatically improving efficiency quickly. We also developed native iOS and Android apps to help landlords, tenants, and visitors manage all property-related activities easily in one place.  Finally, we fine-tuned the Cafe application, enabling users
to seamlessly handle on-site culinary services.  With its powerful new tools, Convene established itself as the go-to place to work, meet, and host events for the likes of Amazon, Deloitte, and Netflix.  They raised $231M+ in funding to continue driving real change across 23 locations worldwide. ### Web and native solutions for a fitness startup Back in 2013, ClassPass set a highly ambitious goal: to bring together the world’s best workouts on one app. Once ClassPass had become the premier fitness membership platform, all it needed was the right engineering partner to help meet its goal. Vention made the cut. The challenge The project scope far exceeded ClassPass’s existing resources, and quick team growth was vital, but they didn’t have the time to hire gradually. Thanks to our pre-vetted talent and streamlined staffing approach, we were able to step up and build feature-rich iOS and Android solutions from scratch and help develop a venue portal and admin panel for more effective user and studio management. Our impact In just two months, 35+ best-in-class Vention developers were on board. We set up a CI/CD pipeline for internal services coupled 
with DevOps best practices that helped ClassPass expand to 30 countries and unify more than 40,000 studios. Backed by Vention from Series A to Series E and beyond, ClassPass not only became the world’s largest fitness network, but also the first unicorn of the decade to achieve an $8.4M valuation. ### Backend and Frontend optimization for Vestwell New York-based fintech company Vestwell identified that one-third of small US businesses had a big problem: the lack of a retirement savings plan due to high costs and administrative burden. To close the gap, it built a pioneering API-based technology that streamlines workplace investing programs. The challenge Powered by an ambitious plan to power 30 million companies nationwide, Vestwell enlisted Vention for a series of development projects that could improve the entire platform and enhance recordkeeping modules. Vestwell also relied on us to fold in high-stakes integrations with state retirement plans and the Voya and Franklin financial platforms. Our impact We evaluated and refactored product code to increase agility, security, and development speed. We engineered three advanced recordkeeping modules and integrated existing infrastructure with third-party HR and payroll systems.  Having supported Vestwell since its Series A, we’ve watched the company grow into one of the top US digital recordkeeping providers.  In 2020, Vestwell reached 200 percent overall growth, followed by a $63M Series C in 2021 led by Wall Street giants such as Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley.  In 2022, Vestwell was on track to achieve 3x client growth. ### Humanizing healthcare with technology As part of its mission to deliver exceptional online healthcare 
to organizations across Canada, telemedicine startup Dialogue developed a winning formula: proprietary technology powered 
by the country’s largest virtual medical team paired with 
patient-centric care. The challenge After several unproductive engagements, Dialogue approached Vention for our DevOps expertise, backend proficiency, and cloud know-how. We immediately set to work building an innovative virtual clinic.  Then, when COVID hit in 2020, Dialogue experienced a 5x surge in demand — and traffic — and their ongoing success rested on their ability to act fast. That’s when a dedicated Vention team jumped in and took over ongoing optimization that kept the company going in a time of crisis. Our impact Having partnered with Dialogue since their Series A, we’ve supported them all the way through a partnership with Sun Life and a $79M IPO in early 2021. The latency of heavy queries was reduced from 60 seconds 
to under 30 milliseconds. We deployed a multi-account AWS environment 
designed to provide granular, centralized, and secure control over workloads.  We delivered a virtual clinic, automated patient management, preliminary screening via a chatbot, and assistance in preparing the platform for SOC 2 certification. ### Web development services for EliseAI Amid the affordable rental housing crisis in the US, New York-based startup MeetElise developed an innovative solution: an AI leasing assistant that helps agents convert prospects into residents in a fully automated and cost-efficient way. The challenge After a series of high-ROI pilots with leading property management companies, MeetElise was looking to further enhance their platform. Referred by a former Vention client, they approached us for our web development expertise; they particularly needed to optimize their solution’s database performance, reduce run costs, and increase organizational efficiency. Our impact We implemented Amazon Cognito and Spring Security
to boost the company’s cyber resilience across the entire value chain. Our team integrated several business-critical property management platforms and built AI-powered automatic replies, resulting in 30 percent faster client onboarding. Our QA squad set up a new testing framework for timely bug fixes and better code quality.  MeetElise can now respond and answer questions 24/7, improving conversions by 65 percent and freeing up bandwidth for their leasing teams to tackle more complex tasks.  In 2021, the company raised an additional $23.6M in funding, bringing the total to nearly $31.3M, and reached more than one million total rentals available on the platform. ### Resident services platform for Carson Living With the residential property sector slow to digitize, Carson Living was one step ahead with its innovative idea: an all-in-one remote doorman and virtual concierge system designed to facilitate a more connected and personalized living experience. The challenge As Carson’s core engineering team, we needed to cover every aspect of web, mobile, and QA with apps that allowed convenient handling of maintenance requests, payments, and deliveries via a 24/7 remote service center. Our next task was
integrating the solution with mission-critical hardware, including keyless electronic locks, live cameras, and wearables. Our impact We facilitated easy remote access and control of all properties listed in the system. We added hundreds of new buildings to the platform, enabling more self-guided apartment tours and improving productivity.  Due to frequent traffic spikes, our team also fine-tuned API architecture and set up load balancers to drive system responsiveness and overall business continuity. Carson became a proptech pioneer and later partnered with market leader BuildingLink. In 2021, they doubled our team to build more solutions for millions across the US. ### Custom development for Verfacto The ultimate goal of Verfacto, an advanced customer experience analytics platform, is to make data analytics work for a user — and not the other way round. By offering much more than just charts and graphs, the company helps businesses chart a winning marketing strategy through daily reports, real-time customer profiling, and AI-powered behavior predictions.  The challenge Though already successful in its field, Verfacto partnered with us to expand the solution’s functionality and maximize performance. Our major goal was to help the company handle millions of concurrent workflows more seamlessly and with less resources, which was possible thanks to leveraging the Cadence code platform. Our impact Vention’s engineers optimized data processing with the help of HyperLogLog to enable Verfacto to count unique users faster and in real time. We also introduced analyzing and aggregating customer-related data so online shops could improve customer segmentation and speed up the system’s response times. Our team added reporting functionality based on aggregated data; this empowered Verfacto’s clients to quickly get visibility into what customer groups buy what and when — and adjust their strategic vision accordingly. ### StoneX: A trading partner you can trust StoneX provides exceptional liquidity and service to trade global markets.   Challenge StoneX was looking for a fintech-minded partner that would cover the full spectrum of services, from web and mobile engineering to test automation integration, followed by development and continuous enhancement of an extensive Salesforce solution.   Solution Vention started by setting up a mobile team that brought native iOS and Android applications to the table. After the successful completion of this first stage, we moved on to web development. To polish the products, Vention’s QA engineers conducted several rounds of test automation (smoke, regression and web service tests). This saved more than two months of testing per release. As part of our Salesforce offering, we executed the optimization of database structure and refactoring. Vention’s team also put special effort into the initial deployment of the overall Salesforce strategy, including integration with payment and electronic signature systems.   Forex.com was very satisfied with the timely, on-scope and on-budget project deliverables, which resulted in a new cooperation with one of their acquisitions - City Index. ### Trading solution development for Axiance Responding to ever-increasing competition in trading, Cyprus-based online broker Axiance (formerly EverFX) launched a major rebrand to enhance its services and value to customers. Increased efficiency and automation was the name of the game — and Salesforce was the replacement CRM of choice. The challenge Recommended by Salesforce and our existing client IC Markets, Vention stood out among competing software vendors and was selected to develop a full-fledged CRM solution. Our challenges were to seamlessly migrate 10 years of data from the existing infrastructure to Salesforce, reduce manual errors, improve user retention, and increase customer loyalty. Our impact First, we helped Axiance select the right Salesforce licenses to future-proof their investment. After just one week, Axiance was so impressed that they engaged us for custom client service development. Our team integrated multiple APIs into the new system without downtime or data loss.  We added new languages to the system, plus 200 different methods to deposit or withdraw money.  We also redesigned the client-facing mobile app on both Android and iOS for 24/7, on-the-go insight into assets in real time.  Overall, this brand-new omnichannel experience dramatically increased sales. ### Salesforce implementation for IC Markets As one of the world’s most renowned Forex brokers, IC Markets wanted to better serve its 200,000+ active clients worldwide by going digital. The challenge The goal was ambitious: replace a 10-year-old legacy CRM system with Salesforce and fully automate all core business processes. As an experienced digital transformation advisor and Salesforce partner, Vention was fit for the job, so our team of senior developers and Salesforce specialists set to work. Our impact We interviewed key users and performed a thorough requirements analysis to get the inside scoop on IC Markets’ current sales processes, corporate hierarchy, and goals. Our team outlined a detailed tech strategy and scheduled all required workshops and training. We set up Salesforce Sales Cloud and then migrated data from the existing CRM. We also customized the synced database, elevating the customer experience across every touchpoint.  Vention’s engineers configured advanced reports and dashboards for increased visibility, enabling IC Markets to track sales spikes and generate brand loyalty. IC Markets now has a 360-degree view of their customer base, as well as automated KYC (“know your customer”), lead generation, and account management processes. The new CRM system reduced new user onboarding time by 30 percent. ### Martech software development for Merkle ​​Since 1988, Merkle, a data-driven performance marketing agency, has transformed into a global leader, managing operations across fifty global divisions and more than 13,000 employees worldwide.  The challenge With plans to ramp up customer acquisition and better serve its 400+ big-league clients — Canon, Twitter, and Volkswagen among them — Merkle had outgrown the capabilities of its established software solutions. Given our rich martech expertise, the company first engaged Vention in 2011 to extend its digital offerings. Our impact Throughout our ten-year partnership, Vention has built a wide range of projects for Merkle’s multiple end clients. From .NET-based enterprise platforms to native mobile apps and API management, we’ve increased ROI and conversion rates for each engagement. Our team also implemented a new agile development approach that enabled Merkle to respond better to uncertainty. In particular, upon Merkle’s special request, our engineers acquired Sitecore certifications and kicked off an extremely time-sensitive project – all within a few weeks.  We also built a custom issue triage framework spanning the client’s entire QA ecosystem, while sharing valuable insights into possible system limitations and third-party risks. Most recently, we leveraged the best-in-class UI tool Storybook to document website use cases for one of the world's largest office supply companies, helping it streamline front-end development, testing, and documentation. ### Innovative security solution for DAQ Electronics DAQ Electronics, a powerhouse that builds high-end access control solutions for some of the most secure locations in the world, aimed to secure its success into the future. The challenge Amid rapid technology change, DAQ’s goal was clear: to complete a series of system and software updates to meet their evolving needs. As their products’ legacy features no longer passed muster, they also needed new communication protocols, more drivers, and additional hardware types. A lack of documentation further complicated matters. Our impact Our team of security engineering experts gained insights into the inner workings of DAQ’s firmware, taking over the support and development of new features.  Next, we overhauled the backend of DAQ’s solutions. We migrated the existing functionality to a new, high-capacity architecture quickly — and with next-to-no business disruption.  We also began building a web server and a mobile app 
to help users streamline and digitize their security management pipelines.  Our engineers have led dozens of DAQ’s award-winning projects from concept to reality. ### Repeat prescriptions in the palm of your hand Two-thirds of prescriptions in the UK are refills. But with an average of 10 days and several trips from GP to pharmacy needed for patients to obtain their medications, change was needed. Cambridge-based startup Healthera had the cure: an app that allowed patients to request, track, and manage repeat prescriptions in just a few taps. The challenge When they needed a proven healthtech partner, Healthera turned to Vention to accelerate innovation and product development. Priority was placed on making Healthera’s pharma supply chain more resilient, which was of utmost importance during the height of the pandemic. Our impact We created a solid refinement plan from the ground up, including code refactoring, mobile app architecture redesign, and QA automation framework development. Next, we set up containerized infrastructure to empower the delivery of high-quality code — faster and at scale.  We addressed the latest mobile accessibility requirements, ensuring best-in-class UX and improving customer retention.  Our engineers enhanced the geo-based search, which supported same-day drug delivery. ### Medical aid where it's needed most Since its founding nearly 50 years ago, healthcare non-profit Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has experienced phenomenal growth, expanding its presence to over 70 countries. Historically, the company used multiple Salesforce systems to manage its global operation, but this ultimately led to decentralization and lots of disconnected data.   Challenge   MSF wanted a partner with highly specialized non-profit expertise and that could help them merge multiple CRMs into one powerful solution   Solution   Once our team was in place, we quickly centralized all Salesforce instances, allowing MSF employees to manage all of their tasks with a single app, from anywhere in the world. Doing so also improved data retrieval, thanks to trimming down duplicates and outdated registries.   To future-proof the new system, our team solved a number of pre-existing security issues, revamping access control and record management systems as well as enhancing the platform’s overall stability through the latest Salesforce APIs. Two years of active engagement (and counting!) Enhanced operations for 65k+ employees Salesforce merge performed in just a month   Key results   Through our work together, the client managed to eliminate their many CRM silos and increase productivity and collaboration across 65,000 employees globally — all in less than four weeks.     Since then, we’ve continued our work together, fine-tuning the MSF system and making monthly updates. ### Search and discovery platform for AR/VR content Svrf (currently Poplar Studio) creates a search and discovery platform for immersive AR/VR content including 360° photos, 360° videos and 3D experiences.

The Client turned to Vention to improve the existing Rights Management system, create a robust solution from scratch, and optimize it according to constantly shifting business and customers’ needs.   Solution   Vobile Group, which is a market powerhouse dealing with online video content protection and monetization, acquired Zefr in November 2019, so Vention’s team was entrusted to develop a new, more efficient Channel Management system from scratch. Here’s what we’ve managed to achieve:  Built from scratch a Facebook Channel Management system that allows the company to take control of content protected by intellectual property and copyright laws Integrated the existing YouTube Channel Management system into the new solution, thus getting rid of the old legacy system Wrote a custom script to transfer a huge database from the existing legacy application to a new one Migrated to microservices to handle the increased number of clients and workload Upgraded the previous version of the Rights Management System to make it more user-friendly, functional, and robust Added the Elasticsearch component to streamline the search among the vast number of copyrighted materials Implemented test automation to ensure smooth system performance ### Web development services for DealCloud DealCloud is a world-class provider of CRM and deal management solutions for private equity firms and investment banks.Before teaming up with Vention, DealCloud built its SharePoint-based CRM system. However, clients' diversified needs prompted DealCloud to create a more versatile and flexible solution. Since 2016, Vention has been implementing new features into a once-created platform to tackle all the rigid requirements coming from enterprise-level investment companies. The integrations we've made are designed to deliver precise data for better business analysis and decision-making processes. DealCloud's solution helps clients create extensive email campaigns, analyze recipients' interactions with emails, use the most precise data from external providers, and synchronize with Microsoft Office products. To enable the automation of transactions and deal-making activities, Vention's engineers developed an AI-based model that handles large data sets generated by capital market firms.   Throughout our 6-year partnership, Vention has been providing DealCloud with the exact skill sets needed, i.e. backend, frontend, QA, and DB specialists capable of handling complex, high-volume systems.   Among the technologies, our engineers use both time-tested technologies, such as .NET, as well as the latest versions of React/Redux. To accelerate data search amidst the huge databases, we use Elasticsearch, Kibana, and AI Search. We also use Azure stack (Storage, Topics), as well as leverage AWS products and services.   After DealCloud joined Intapp, our engineers were entrusted to develop a comprehensive cloud-based platform - OnePlace, which will manage all phases of client relationships throughout the professional and financial services transaction ecosystem. ### Data Management for innovative fintech provider Unlimint is an innovative fintech provider and licensed ecommerce acquirer. The company aims to make electronic payments convenient and highly secure for eCommerce businesses around the world.   Challenge:   Unlimint needed to fine-tune data management between different departments and make the merchant onboarding process more flexible and time-efficient. Having evaluated a lot of vendors, their in-house team chose Salesforce as the perfect solution. In order to optimize their use of the platform, Unlimint looked for an experienced implementation partner in early 2020. The Client teamed up with Vention and entrusted our team with a prompt Sales Cloud launch.   Solution Vention centralised and automated Unlimint's merchant onboarding process; Integrated all related activities into a single, transparent system; Optimised the company’s Lead Management System for onboarding; Used Apex triggers and Flows to automate recurring email reminders; Customised the Salesforce solution according to the client's business needs to create more effective teams; Built in Lightning elements and Communities to include web forms for onboarding data; Synchronised these web forms with Salesforce data to enhance information security; Used Salesforce to speed up merchant onboarding from a few days to near-instant verification (more happy customers); Used a Sales Cloud solution to streamline teams' collaboration and exponentially enhance employee productivity; Used the platform to track performance and changes across the involved departments, identifying bottlenecks and eradicating them. ### Curated meals for happy canines Although one-third of all UK households own at least one dog, Britain’s $3.6B pet food industry was struggling to meet owners’ demand for nutritious options. Spotting an opportunity to create 
a custom pet food subscription service, Nestlé-backed company Tails.com had a recipe for success. The challenge With thousands of five-star reviews, Tails.com needed an engineering partner to take their platform to the next level. Vention jumped straight in with four backend engineers. Our impact Our team improved the existing admin tool’s UI for more personalized customer experiences. Next up was a time-saving feature for generating printable labels, QR codes, and barcodes.  We developed microservices from scratch, adding new functionality across cataloging, order prioritization, and billing management.  Finally, we introduced build testing and an embedded monitoring service to speed up development and provide more visibility into app performance. These efforts boosted conversions and drove sustainable innovation for 200,000 Tails.com customers across 10 countries. ### Salesforce implementation from scratch for GiG Despite specializing in innovative iGaming solutions, until recently, Gaming Innovation Group struggled to manage tens of thousands of leads via Google Docs and Forms. The challenge Drowning in documents, GiG needed a system overhaul. After
a referral from our partner Webveto, Vention jumped on board 
to help GiG reduce and automate document flow while updating their existing Salesforce CRM. A second phase of work focused on marketing automation to track form submissions and email campaigns with 360-degree visibility. Our impact We rolled out an initial workflow automation plan via Quip and Salesforce Surveys. Next, we cut time and costs by 30 percent and fully automated Google Form submission, collection, and analysis. We were then engaged for Jira integration with Salesforce CRM for automated project management and task sharing.  These additional Salesforce features empowered the company to work smarter, reducing manual mistakes and increasing average speed-to-lead by 50 percent along the way. We helped GiG deploy automation across the company, delivering game-changing user experiences
