VintEx Technologies

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of Cocovita, Ltd., a social enterprise. We work with rural coconut farmers to process coconuts into oil and other products. We also sell the products to the market.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Vint Ex Technologies?

We hired Vint Ex Technologies to help us develop a website and to manage our social media marketing activities.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had a regular website that was not well organized and our third-party customers couldn’t purchase any products there. As a result, Vint Ex Technologies developed and designed an e-commerce site for our company. They chose the color scheme of our platform, organized our products, provided web hosting services, and more. Moreover, they provided us with photography and product imaging services.

They now strategize and run our social media marketing campaigns. The team is also in charge of creating content for our platforms.

What is the team composition?

Kelvin (Founder) is my key contact, and he interacts with their team.

How did you come to work with Vint Ex Technologies?

I met Kelvin a few years ago through a development organization that mentors women and youth. I was impressed by his creativity, work ethic, attitude, and resiliency.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent less than $10,000. We paid them $400 for their web development and photography services. Additionally, we pay them $150 a month for social media marketing and $35 annually for their web hosting services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in June 2017, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve seen an increase in brand awareness, which has improved the reachability of our product. Additionally, on Facebook, we’ve grown from 1,000 to roughly 6,000 followers. Overall, I can vouch for the quality of their work.

How did Vint Ex Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

They deliver on time. We communicate via phone, WhatsApp, and Zoom calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're creative, and they respond quickly. Overall, their work has met my expectations.

It might be useful to have more detailed documentation regarding delivery.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the lead developers for a software-based company. We do a lot of work around business process automation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Vint Ex Technologies?

We needed help with UI/UX design and Android application development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

One of the main jobs we gave Vint Ex Technologies was the development of an Android app. It was a create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) app, and they did the UI/UX design.

First, we described the problem to Vint Ex Technologies and shared the user comments with them. They created the prototype to see the several interfaces based on the problem we discussed. They did the design, which we reviewed to make sure that it was successful. If it wasn’t, they would rectify it until we were satisfied. After that, we moved forward with the payment.

What is the team composition?

We interacted with the lead developer and the director.

How did you come to work with Vint Ex Technologies?

I searched for someone who could do UX and Android app development work for us and found some reviews about Vint Ex Technologies. I went to their office, spoke to them, and look at their previous work, and I found that they were good people. I came to trust them and started working with them.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost for the UI/UX design was around $50, and the app was three times that.

What is the status of this engagement?

I worked with them on this project around three years ago. Vint Ex Technologies is still my go-to company for any design or development work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app worked according to what I gave them. In addition to that, the UI/UX design was good.

How did Vint Ex Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

We used Trello to track some of the progress of the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are good people. When you give them any comments, they listen and implement them. Additionally, they do timely development.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Vint Ex Technologies can improve their technology stack. At that time, they didn’t work on iOS. It would be nice if they could offer that.

Any advice for potential customers?

Vint Ex Technologies believes in your project.
