What was the team composition?

There are between six and eight people and I communicate with the whole team directly, including a Project Manager, Business Analytics, Designer, Architect, Front-End and Back-End Developer.

They have successfully worked out all the requirements and assisted in the architecture development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WeSoftYou?

We hired WeSoftYou for both backend and frontend development of the product.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to build and launch an MVP of the product.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them on a freelancer platform, and after several discussions with Maksym, the CEO, who immediately understood what we were working on and was very communicative and collaborative, it was clear they were what we were looking for.

They are a firm with high-level talent that allows the client to work with developers directly, and understands how to build innovative software products rather than just content sites.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We used one backend (Python) developer and one frontend (ReactJS) developer from WeSoftYou.

The backend developer worked a number of core backend components - various APIs, database schemas, and offline data processing.

The frontend developer helped us build the home page of the product, which is the most important page, and also helped us refactor the frontend to improve performance by more than 10X.

What was the team composition?

We had 3 backend developers and 2 frontend developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

WeSoftYou was an indispensable part of getting our MVP built, and without an MVP, we wouldn't have any users, or a company :).

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

I would say the way WeSoftYou collaborated with us was very effective. They allowed me to manage their engineers directly, which was very important to me.

I had daily standups with the team and communicated with them over Slack as well. Also, Maksym let me know when there were any HR-related issues, which allowed me to address them with the engineers before they became larger issues.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Maksym (the CEO) is a great leader and partner. He understands what American startups are trying to do and invests in his clients' success.

He is extremely available, often taking calls in the evening in his time zone, and once hearing a description of what the client is looking for in terms of talent, delivers it quickly.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I don't have any big areas for improvement.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the operations manager of a medical education startup. We provide study resources for general practitioners (GPs).

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WeSoftYou?

We wanted to create a new web-based study tool specifically for exam preparation.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to create a custom web application that simulated at least two different formats of medical exams in Australia, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. WeSoftYou needed to design the experience as close to the real online exam environment as possible.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We produced a basic specification to test the market and identify a preferred web developer. We wanted a partner that could have an ongoing role with our business through successive development cycles. We also wanted the agency to provide continued care and attention to the finished solution.

I did a global search and my team interviewed a short list of candidates. WeSoftYou best understood the scope of work and demonstrated a flexible approach to project management. We appreciated that the same team that pitched us would also execute the project. We hired them because we knew who would do the job.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

WeSoftYou used an agile approach to accommodate our specifications as our ideas evolved alongside the partnership. We started with the most complex exam format and proceeded to the second format. We then revised the solution to optimize user-friendliness and ensure realistic exam simulations. Both teams scheduled a limited release to coincide with one of the real semi-annual exams. We used user information from that stage to gain further UX insight.

What was the team composition?

The team included a project manager, a UI/UX designer, two frontend developers, a backend developer, and a QA manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

We launched MVP within three months to meet critical deadlines. More than 60% of free trial customers upgraded their subscription in the first three months of operation.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

WeSoftYou was approachable and communicative because the project manager allowed us to interact directly with the entire team. I preferred this experience to others I’ve had on different web development projects. Overall, they were professional and consistently available. The team was the right size for our business.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

WeSoftYou understood our vision and position as a new business. They worked hard to get our product to market on time. Furthermore, the team was committed and passionate. They had a strong business ethic and approached challenges with a can-do attitude. The developers created excellent web-based solutions as a result.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

WeSoftYou should use designers from different parts of the world to understand local markets better. Those resources could then liaise with the excellent development team.

BACKGROUND

I’m the CEO and founder of a Financial Service Firm 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WeSoftYou?

We needed full-cycle development to build a web app that would boost peoples' credit scores.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to create a service that allowed customers to quickly and easily boost their personal credit score.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

After having an unsuccessful experience with a freelance developer, we hired a software consultant who suggested we work a partner in Ukraine.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

We’re creating an ordering system with a wide inventory of trade lines. Customers are added to credit lines as authorized users with specific limits depending on their planned utilization, age, and payment history.

The system has three user types, a well-structured admin area, and user customization capabilities. A detailed and prompt notification system keeps everyone in the loop and allows clients to efficiently monitor their credit card bookings.

What was the team composition?

We’re working with a project manager, a frontend developer, a backend developer, and a QA manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

I started building the initial user base after we rolled out the first MVP, and new clients keep coming in. The exact outcomes are still unclear, but I’m confident it’ll be a great product that will bring many benefits to my company and users.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We use Slack and Jira to communicate and manage the backlog. If there’s an issue, they come to me with all the details and a fleshed-out plan of action. They keep me in the loop with detailed reports and accessible task tracking.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They’ve taken responsibility for the project as if it was their own. Even if they’re out of the office for the day, they’ll answer my questions and be ready if something urgent comes up. They’re the first outsourced team I’ve seen that puts such care into their work.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

There’s always something to improve, but everything’s going quite well. I love working with them and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs web development services.

BACKGROUND

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

WeSoftYou developed an MVP version of a custom platform based on Acquirer Systems, an automated test and validation environment for payment solutions. The platform itself assures both a secure sale of goods and a secure buyer-seller relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

WeSoftYou delivered an MVP, and I and my team are now in our next round of fundraising. Our research has shown that 45% of people between ages 18-30 are likely to use SPay when making payments on the internet.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We used Slack for messaging and Jira for managing the backlog. They were available 24/7 to answer questions on Slack and refrained from bothering me with unnecessary technical details. Instead, they kept me in the loop with daily and weekly reports.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

WeSoftYou worked on the project as if it was their own. In fact, even though we aren’t in an active development phase, their CEO and COO are constantly asking us about our latest progress. Compared to other outsourced and freelance teams I reviewed, WeSoftYou is highly product-oriented and cares about results more than budgets. They’ve even helped me with presentations for investors.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

They may have a few areas for improvement, but everything they did for me far exceeded my expectations.
