"We didn’t feel like a client, but rather as partners who have the same goal to achieve."

Nov 06, 2019

Feedback summary:

Users commented that the revamped app was richer in features and more user-friendly. The solution would also be a lot easier to scale in the future thanks to the well-written code. Collaborative and diligent, 2muchcoffee took the time to understand the core business goals, which informed the work.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the co-founder and CTO at Station, which is a SaaS focused platform for working with web apps. The app helps busy people to save tons of time handling both personal and work applications.

Since people spend a lot of their working hours using SaaS apps on their web browser, the Station aims to ease the whole process of using apps while working. We provide the opportunity to have one app to centralize all of your work. Therefore, Station supports 600+ apps including G Suite, Slack, Asana, Trello, etc.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 2muchcoffee?

As our product has rapidly evolved into a much bigger version, we had to improve both sides: the back-end and front-end.

Moreover, we made the effort to split the codebase into different parts. Some parts required a lot of business-specific knowledge (for instance electron, custom framework, etc.) while the other required only standard knowledge (React web application, GraphQL, Node.js, PostgreSQL., etc.).

We decided to hire 2muchcoffee to work on the second part and implement the best tech solutions while we could focus on exploiting business-specific knowledge for our app store.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal was to make the app store more user-friendly and feature-rich by means of using modern architectural decisions.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were looking for a team with solid technical expertise who would be able to “fit into our workflow”. Precisely, it was important to find a team experienced with a "modern" stack (especially our stack: Typescript, GQL, React, JSS) and be open to collaborate with Station’s product and dev teams.

Additionally, we were looking for a team with the pro-active communication approach which is transparent and up to date on accomplishment and left to do tasks.

We did comprehensive research to find the right company to cooperate with. When we discovered the 2muchcoffee portfolio and read the reviews, we were impressed by the scope and professionalism of their work. After the preliminary discussion with the team, it was a no-brainer that this team could carry out our main objectives. So, we decided to go with the 2muchcoffee company.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

As Station is the browser for work it was crucial to reach a native desktop experience- something that could be achieved due to high-quality codebase. 2muchcoffee significantly improved our code.

First of all, the team made a code review to detect possible issues in the codebase which could negatively affect the work of the app. Back end tasks include caching GraphQL queries and changing the database structure (from services to applications).

Additionally, the data was migrated to Airtable to make the process of an organization much easier. Moreover, the team entirely refactored the existing front-end architecture.

There was decided to switch to GraphQL cache instead of Redux as a main application’s Store. Such a decision provides huge benefits for the user-experience. There was implemented a full redesign by means of creating completely new layouts for the app.

Additionally, the team extended the app functionality and added new ones, e.g. edit/delete of custom apps, infinite scroll, correct applications’ search functionality. Finally, Google Lighthouse metrics were improved to achieve better technical optimization.

What was the team composition?

The first contact we had was with the 2muchcoffee CEO with whom we negotiated the scope of the work. Later, 2muchcoffee devs worked on our back-end, while the front-end team closely cooperated with our Product Designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We received positive feedback from our users which is a predominant indicator of the work that was done. Our goals were achieved: the app store became more feature-rich and user-friendly. The well-written code guarantees that it would be possible to scale the app in the future. Additionally, due to the revamp that the team did on this app, the conversion rates on our app store were significantly increased.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The whole project was managed very effectively using the Agile approach. The communication was mainly through Slack which was perfectly fitting into our workflow. In case, it was necessary to have an online discussion we used Skype calls.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

2muchcoffee approached our tasks seriously. Specifically, we took some time to make a detailed product specification document which was carefully reviewed by the 2muchcoffee team and was even more improved throughout our cooperation.

In addition, the team was very open to sharing their knowledge. They always guided us through the core matters and explained areas that were unfamiliar to us. The team showed a willingness to understand and support our business objectives, and therefore, this translated into the quality of work they produced.

This is a responsive team with quick communication practice and following the “to the point” approach. We didn’t feel like a client, but rather as partners who have the same goal to achieve.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Considering the nature of the services we got from 2muchcoffee, I can state that there is nothing to improve. The team follows modern tech solutions and individual approach to the clients. That is why this is a great team to partner with.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the head of design and UX at an international IT company specializing in B2B software automation solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 2muchcoffee?

As our company expanded from a small team to an international brand, our outdated website and content were costing us potential hires and customers. We needed additional resources to increase marketing efforts and quickly redesign and launch new websites.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to build and publish well-crafted websites that clearly communicated all necessary information to clients and interested applicants. We wanted to develop an online presence that not only represented our growth and the professional standards of our products, but would also establish us as an industry authority.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We researched a number of companies and conducted test assignments to evaluate competency, reliability, and communication skills. After starting with a different firm, we reconsidered and switched to 2muchcoffee after some bad experiences and a decline in quality. The initial work went well, so we continued with them with great results.

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

We agreed on the conversion goal, user flow design, and low-fidelity mockups, and 2muchcoffee created a structured website concept using their own methodology. They then cooperated closely with our in-house design team to develop the new websites, advising us on SEO best practices and server file setup.

What was the team composition?

Two different developers worked on the project, but a project manager was our single point of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All websites and pages were built as desired and launched according to schedule. They have received great feedback, and our designer has been pleased with the results.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management was effective, relying primarily upon Trello and Slack to monitor progress. They demonstrated great flexibility in accommodating our schedules and quickly completed changes as necessary.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They demonstrated exceptional thoroughness in reviewing tasks, asking questions we may have overlooked or offering suggestions of improvements to consider. This proactive approach and critical thinking were invaluable and what set this experience apart from others.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

There were none concerning this particular project. The few minor mistakes stemmed from our requirements and were resolved without issue.
