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

In evaluating the entire project trajectory, the value delivered by 2V Modules for the associated costs was truly remarkable. What stood out most about this company, and particularly under Valerian's leadership, was their ability to consistently balance quality with cost-effectiveness. 

Their entrepreneurial approach to problem-solving ensured we received top-tier solutions without exorbitant costs. It's rare to encounter a company that offers such a blend of affordability and excellence, making our collaboration with 2V Modules not only beneficial but also uniquely impressive.

While our collaboration with 2V Modules was largely positive and their deliverables were top-notch, there's always room for refinement. One aspect that could see improvement is their communication. 

While Valerian and his team were transparent about delays and adept at explaining technical nuances, there were instances where more proactive or timely communication would have been appreciated. Enhancing this aspect of their project management can elevate their already commendable services to even greater heights.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We're an online retailer of marine accessories and electronics. We have significant demand, and sell worldwide. I help with the internet marketing, SEO, and also development to a large degree.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 2V Modules, and what were your goals?

We needed quality, intelligent, reliable developers for different tasks on the site. From regular front-end dev work, to more advanced modules and functions on the site, to very advanced creation of software modules to speak with third party vendors who we purchase inventory from.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We chose 2V because of the excellent initial interactions with Valerian, the owner of the company, and the continued good experiences with the developers on his team. Quality work and excellent value for the money paid.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Front end development work, functions and features on the site as to pricing, shipping, checkout, inventory.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Worked with a handful of key developers on their team. Full stack developers, some with more expertise on front end, others with more expertise on back end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

They delivered excellent results consistently. When we gave a task to 2V, we were sure it was going to be accomplished, and in a timely fashion.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

2V works with a manager, who you can provide tasks to, and they distribute it to the developers. However, due to my history with the company, I had the ability to speak with the owner from time to time if needed, or directly with the dev. But to not interrupt work flow, it was always best to communicate through the manager.

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

Organization, ease of communication, quality of developers on the team.

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

Not that I see.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 2V Modules, and what were your goals?

We were using the agency model to deliver our services and it was very difficult to scale. Until Val and his team stepped in and created a beautiful online recruiting platform for us.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We received over 100 applications for this job but something stood out to us when reading through what 2V Modules sent us. It came down to their expertise, knowledge, customer service, speed, and price. They ticked all the boxes and even gave us a good discount.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a nice meeting and started working on the project straight away. The tech stack we use is node and react. We immediately started building the software which is amazing because speed was super important for us and before we even know it we had a fully functioning saas recruiting platform.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Project manager, a few developers, and QA what was really impressive is that their CEO has been always super helpful and friendly and always wanted to help and deliver a good result. I personally sent him messages at 2 am asking some questions which he answered straight away.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our clients love the platform. We just launched and already partnered with 20 of the best businesses in our market across the US, UK and Australia. They created a great platform without bugs that worked really well and clients were absolutely crazy about it.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Their project manager and team are super friendly and down to earth and at the same time professional and they work really hard to deliver the best results for their clients.

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

Overall the whole service from start to finish was amazing. The most impressive things for us were the customer service, the product they created in no time, and generally, they took off the stress from us and helped us create a really good saas business. It was the first time I create a SaaS company and as a non-technical founder, the process was straightforward.

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

All good from our end. Nothing major that's worth mentioning. Keep doing the good work guys. I highly recommend people that want to start a SaaS company to get in touch with Val because he will give you a good deal!

2V Modules has been working with us over the past year to ideate and build our 2 sided marketplace.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We interviewed over 10 Laravel development agencies. After the call with the 2V Modules team I knew I had found the right partner. They actively listened to our business needs and helped set the entire R&D timeline.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We spend the first few weeks building out the full roadmap for development, the required screens and tech stack to use. They worked with our UX design agency to make sure everything they wanted to do was possible on our budget.

Our team consisted of a project manager, senior developer, junior developer and a font end developer.

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

They were very well versed in Laravel which helped us build the MVP very quickly.

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

Not all of their developer were as skilled. I think they could have done a better job of assigning our junior developer.

BACKGROUND

I am the CEO of Memorygram. Memorygram is a digital storytelling platform that allows users to build their memories and photos into a beautiful hardcover book.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 2V Modules, and what were your goals?

We needed not only a website but also the software supporting the product itself. This entailed email scheduling, api connections, ingesting data from various sources and transforming it to allow the content to be dynamically transformed into a book format.

There is a surprising amount of technical stuff going on in the background and we knew this going in so we needed a partner who had not just technical chops but who could take vague business requirements and translate them into sound and scalable technical solutions.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We found them on Upwork. We interviewed dozens of potential partners for this project but 2V stood out for their ability to rapidly synthesize what we were trying to do with the project and even come up with helpful ideas that we had not thought of on our own.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We needed a website and all of the supporting technology behind it that is basically the product itself. We used Laravel and Vue JS for this project.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We directly interacted with 4-5 people on the team including the CEO and project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The project went very well, and we were thrilled with the result as it exceeded our expectations.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We communicated over Slack and kept a view on the work in Clickup. Timelines were generally well adhered to.

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

The founder Valerian is what set them apart. We found him to be a cut above the rest during our vetting process.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm working in Inventorize SaaS as a co-founder and product manager

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 2V Modules, and what were your goals?

We hired 2V Modules to build a SaaS product that we'd been thinking about for a while. The idea was to sync data from multiple sources and drop it into a single system that merges data and syncs it to e-commerce stores.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Our choice was based on recommendation from one of my friends who had great experience working with 2V Modules. And he was absolutely right. Another point was their experience in e-commerce integrations which seemed super relevant since we required multiple e-commerce plugins going forward. And obviously their focus on SaaS products was important.. they really knew the right approach to that type of projects.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Valerian and 2V Modules were super helpful from day 1. Although we as co-founders had a good understanding of the project field, we really did not think through a lot of technical stuff which 2V helped us to do. We started with a short kick-off call describing what we need and then shared additional information on the scope, competitors and most important features.

Starting from that point, Valerian and his team dived so deeply into our project as if they were the part of our own team. After gaining requirements they've built a product flowchart in Figma and a document with project specifications - these two were used to defined what we actually needed for the MVP and show us the whole user flow.

From that point the UI/UX and dev teams started to work based on sprints and provide regular updates. There were a few changes that we haven't thought through but they were quickly documented and added to the later sprints. Finally, we got the project alongside with documentation and SLA support agreement which have use until this moment.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with Valerian himself at the beginning and then we had 1 Business analysts, 1 UI designer, 1 PM and 2 developers and 1 QA engineer working on the project, so in total it was 6 people.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We launched the MVP of our SaaS from scratch in 4 months and successfully served our first clients. Later on, we developed and implemented additional features.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The team is using Slack and ClickUp so there's absolute clarity on the status of tasks and other stuff. All communication was handled by PM, she provided regular weekly status reports and timeline updates.

At every point of the project we were absolutely aware of the status and it actually made the cooperation very smooth. Also it's obvious that they worked on many SaaS projects before so every step was predictable and they told us what's going to be the next stage, everything was clearly outlined from the beginning.

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

There were two things that really impressed me and my partners:

1. Level of engagement. As a founder you don't really expect that someone will know your product as good as you do, but 2V team thought about so many details, brought up so many right questions and helped us not only to build what we want, but to build what was really the best.. That is impressive and something that totally exceeded our expectations
2. The quality and speed. We really loved how they work from specs to UI and development - all people were professional, there were no overpriced junior developers. The result we got was totally worth every cent that we paid.

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

The team is quite small and when we first came to them they were booked ahead for a month. So we had to wait a bit. Would be good if they scale and will be able to take more projects while keeping the quality and approach on the same level.

Professional perception of the SOW Upwork Rating

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The project was defined to build 5 plugins 2 in Magento 1 for Prestashop, 1 for WordPress and 1 for WHMCS. The project started by providing the API details to their team, in no more than 2 weeks we had the first delivery for WordPress. in 1 week later we had deliveries for WHMCS and Prestashop and Magento took a little more time than expected but it's based on the level of complexity that Magento has. The plugins are built in PHP and Javascript

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

from 4 to 5. 4 developers and 1 project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our beta testers are right now improving the results of the tests and also the code was made using good practices that one of our UI/UX was able to get and make some improvements. The goal was met!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

With us, communication was based mostly on Slack. They were very professional providing the doubts they had.

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

The way they feel and understand the customer needs, they stop being 2V modules to become an arm of your business.

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

Some of their developers don't speak English, this is not an impediment but it should improve a lot if a bigger project came where developers need to be involved.

Are there any areas for improvement or something {provider_name} could have done differently?

Being someone that has never had a SaaS business before there were lots of changes post the wireframes stage, during development. This could have been reduced by more diligence during the pre development phase - this was partly on me too.
