Web, iOS and Android apps for Phytech

Phytech develops sensors for the agriculture.

We helped them build an application to help farmers increase their yield by monitoring the fields online and making informed farming decisions. We used React to built from scratch a rich single-page application, which displays real-time data from Phytech sensors installed on the fields. We also migrated the native iOS and Android apps to React Native.

Moving planner for Unpakt

Unpakt helps people move by finding the best available mover.

We helped Unpakt completely rebuild their move booking flow as a single-page application using AngularJS. After launching the new version, Unpakt saw increased booking and lower bounce rates due to much faster and reliable experience.

Mimic 2

Mimic is our open-source dev tool for mocking server responses in a browser. Front end and back end are often developed separately. While the back end is not working, the front-end developer is very limited in what they can do. But with Mimic, they just mock server responses right from within the browser and develop as if the server was alive.

Advanced analytics platform for ThetaRay

ThetaRay takes structured data and applies its algorithms to figure out anomalies in the data. We worked closely with Thetaray to build a rich dashboard on top of their anomaly detection platform. The UI included huge data grids that ran smoothly and interactive tailor-made visualizations.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

500Tech is professional and experienced, expertly guiding the website migration. They communicate well and customize solutions to optimize existing workflows, code, and processes. Their scheduling could be clearer, but the overall work has been great.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of engineering for VTS, an enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) company. We provide software primarily for landlords and brokers to track leases for the commercial buildings they rent out. I work with the foundation teams, including frontend and backend platforms and technical operations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

Our website hadn’t been updated in six years, and we wanted to migrate it from Angular.js to React.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We didn’t just want someone to do the dev work, we wanted a consultant and trainer, too. 500Tech brought an expert on site for a total of 40 days to work with our team and guide them in the migration. They made sure we avoided any delays or issues while also training our engineers in React.

500Tech went through our entire codebase and provided insightful recommendations to facilitate the migration and make it as smooth and quick as possible. They then sat with our frontend team and coded with them. They also provided training materials, such as a style guide and proof of concept.

What is the team composition?

We work with one main developer.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

My boss already knew them and realized they’d be a great fit for our project.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $60,000–$70,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began in September 2018, and the partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They provide solutions that we never would’ve thought of. They trained half of our engineering team in three days, and we’ve received good feedback about their coaching. Recruiting has been much easier now that we’re moving to React.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

500Tech works well with our team and has a sensible workflow and open communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve migrated companies from Angular.js to React three other times, so they have lots of experience. They tailored the process to our codebase, which we appreciated.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It took longer than expected to figure out the schedule and logistics, but everything else went well.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Start off with a smaller engagement to see how well the partnership works. Trust their guidance and rely on them to both build and improve your product.

Feedback summary: 

500Tech delivered high-quality work within a tight timeline, ensuring the success of the app’s pilot run. Although they charged premium prices, their speed, expertise, and proactive approach fostered a positive experience.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I was the senior product manager for an education technology company. I recruited resources to execute and develop our product.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

We wanted to provide a development environment for students using Java and C++. The goal was to complete development as soon as possible, allowing us to do a pilot run at the start of the academic year.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

500Tech developed the first phase of our web app within a month. During the planning stage, we showed them the UX and the mockups. On the second day, they started building the environment. Our main product was built with React, and we wanted the developers to use the same technology to combine the main product later on with this new initiative.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a senior and a junior developer.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

We looked for resources, and 500Tech had developers that were available immediately.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August–September 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It was a great project. 500Tech delivered in time for a live pilot at one college. We also showed the product to our internal R&D staff.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

They used Trello because we already had it set up, and we used GitHub as well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The developers had a can-do approach and made things happen. They were eager to solve issues and suggest solutions. Working with them was a great experience. They were quite professional and knew the material.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I believe their prices were pretty high compared to other companies that we looked at, but we had a tight schedule. Since they were available, we hired them even though they were quite expensive.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the former chief developer of a development shop.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

We were looking for a team that had experience in React and React Redux. It was a new technology for our shop, and we needed help with development support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We worked with 500Tech on two projects. First, we reached out to them to complete a review of our design and code standards to make sure we were using the program’s tools in the right way. The application was written in JavaScript ES6 and based on a React+Redux Webpack.

Following that, we needed assistance developing a project we had. Their team contributed to the product’s development speed, as we had less experience working with React and Redux.

What is the team composition?

We worked with one developer and then hired an additional one.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

500Tech was recommended to us.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February 2017 to August 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We’ve received positive feedback from customers. 500Tech matched our estimations and performed wonderfully.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

500Tech participated in our team stand-up meetings and planning sessions. They worked hard to meet deadlines and would communicate to us if there was an issue. Their knowledge allowed us to speed up development. We were delighted with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

500Tech’s team was skilled in the technology. The quality of their developers made them a unique bunch to work with on any project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Feedback summary: 

Their consultation services were excellent: focused, clear, and useful for the receiving team who were able to work on the technology independently within months. 500Tech were motivated and professional, but sometimes their busy schedule could make arranging meetings difficult.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of digital product development for a bioscience company. I’m in charge of all the software side of the commerce system, onboarding customer data into the system, and passing it onto manufacturing to make the DNA.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

We had challenges in JavaScript React and we were looking for a consulting company to assist with them.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They started with some basic guidance on how to use React as we were moving from Angular to React. We went to some courses which they led and, following that, we moved onto code review. Ilya (COO, 500Tech) came onsite to our office many times and did some code reviews and consultancy on the way we were building and improving our system. We also attend their annual conference in Tel Aviv.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 1–2 people from their team.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

We’d had another consultant prior that we weren’t happy with. 500Tech were recommended by another company that had used them. As they’re the best in Israel at what they do, it was the natural choice to approach them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from June–August 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

When working with consultants, I measure how reliant I am on them to move forward. They did their best to train us to be independent and helped us ramp up to a good point where we can be very self-sufficient. When I need experts in the future, I will know who to call.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

It was a challenge to schedule a time to meet each month for a review. As long as we had enough time to give them a heads up, it was fine. It wasn’t the easiest thing to do as they are an in-demand agency, but it was fine.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their motivation to get us to the point where we could work alone was impressive. They weren’t searching for job security; they made sure we’re independent, which is something I appreciate in a good consultancy company.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I think things were fine. Our internal developers reached a very advanced point.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Define your expectations, the scope of the project, and your needs. Their team is very reasonable as long as everything is well defined. They will either deliver or raise a flag if they cannot.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from September–December 2014. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO at Backand.com as well as at Funzing. Backand provides developers with out of the box, server-side backends, and Funzing is marketplace for people to publish activities and lectures in their free time.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO at Backand.com as well as at Funzing. Backand is a service that provides developers with out of the box, server-side backends. Funzing is marketplace for people to publish activities and lectures in their free time.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The scope for Backand had two parts: consulting and development. The first part was getting our development team on board with Angular and building a basic prototype of the product’s UI. The second was making 500Tech a part of our development team and then building the rest of the product.

For Funzing, their scope of work was just consulting. We built a mobile application using Ionic and Angular so, as experts in Angular, they advised us on performance and scalability issues.

What is the team composition?

I worked with four different people.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

Immediately after we interviewed them, they seemed to understand what we wanted to do the best. They left a lot of suggestions after the initial talk, so there was no doubt that they were the team to hire. It was a great interview.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent over $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October 2014 until March 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Before we contacted them, we worked with another consulting company and the results were so poor that we had to scratch the project. With 500Tech, the project was successful. We had tens of thousands of people visiting the site on a monthly basis.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

We managed the project for the most part. The first project was a relatively short—a few weeks of prototyping—so it was very much on deadline. They put in extra hours after work to meet the deadline, so they were dedicated.

What did you find most impressive about them?

All the people we worked with were the best in the field. They’re really smart and professional in their expertise of Angular and node.Js. They delivered great results at a very high standard, which is the reason I took them on the second time.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s best to work with someone who’s an expert in the field you’re in. Make sure the deadlines are set up in advance so the expectation will be on both sides. We did that and they met expectations.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Bits of Gold. We’re a cryptocurrency exchange company in Israel.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

When we began the company, we needed to race into the market as soon as possible, so we needed help to create our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built a fully functional website using Ruby on Rails. They developed back office admin system and a frontend. They also built a CRM that collects client data and is connected to the cryptocurrency exchanges through an API they developed.

What is the team composition?

We worked with three or four team members at any given time, although we did reach six at one point.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

We originally found them through a friend. My father hired them to create his website as well and they did a good job on it.

How much have you invested in them?

We spent between $50,000–$200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from March 2013–April 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They helped us build a successful company from scratch and the website up and running in under four weeks. We still use site too. They made us what we are today.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed pretty well and were very responsive. We didn’t have a project manager but they planned everything we needed to make the website run.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve very hands on. They deliver really personal service and we felt very important to them. They understood our needs—everything we wanted to eventually achieve—and translated that into code. They got that we needed to have a product as soon as possible and worked hard to deliver it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Looking back, I think the documentation could have been a bit better. We had a very short deadline, but I think I should have described what each part of the code was so that future developers knew how to refer to each code.

They helped us create a brand new user experience. They listened to us and came up with suggestions and solutions that met our needs. Because of the methodology they introduced us to, we are now moving forward with development, fast and smooth.

How did they perform from a project management standpoint?

Using Agile SCRUM methodologies, 500Tech's developers has become a part of our team, working side by site during the period they have been with us.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're responsible, attentive, and professional.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything that needs improvement on 500tech's behalf. There are a lot of things we didn't know about on our part, so if we did that project again, we'd probably take better shortcuts and achieve a shorter time to market target.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust them.

Feedback summary: 

Their technical knowledge, professionalism, and accountability are outstanding. They cared about the project like they were a part of the company. They were willing to take the extra steps necessary to make the project the highest quality it has been. The project manager is still helpful to this day.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

ThetaRay is a five-year-old start-up that specializes in detecting anomalies in big data platforms.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

The collaboration started around three years ago before I joined ThetaRay. The first challenge was to build a web application that enabled users to view and analyze any anomalies we detected. We had no frontend developers on our team, so the former VP of R&D contacted the founder of 500Tech and they built a team together.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

500Tech fully built the first version of our web application from scratch using AngularJS. Part of the challenge was supporting the investigation of big data, which meant integrating with ag-Grid, a non-Angular grid. It was built by another third-party, and it can support viewing and investigating a lot of data. Another task was developing a graphical canvas that could show graphs of all our entities in an intuitive way.

What is the team composition?

Adam, the founder, was part of the team, and I’ve worked with four people from 500Tech. At most, we had five developers working on the application.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

I am unsure of how we first started working together.

How much have you invested with them?

At the peak, I believe we were paying between $30,000 and $40,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with 500Tech in November 2015. We ended the collaboration after hiring resources for our own team, less than a year ago in the fall of 2017.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I have quality issues all the time, but the framework is still running, which means that it was built well. We just migrated it to Angular 5.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

They had an agile approach and we worked remotely from one another. They received guidelines from the UX designer, and gave us feedback from backend developers, regarding the integration with the RESTful API that they were going to expose. During peak times, they were willing to come over to our office, just to make sure that the integration would run faster. Adam also came over to fix some more complex infrastructure issues. He’s also visited us a few months ago for a day, to advise us on some more complex things we needed to do.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their level of technology, professionalism, and accountability is remarkable. There were times when we prevented the backend developers from progressing, but they still pushed everyone and made their own progress, without letting others stop them. They cared about the project just like anyone from our company.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Up until now, we’ve had some bug issues, but I’m not sure whether 500Tech was the cause. Since we don’t have automated unit testing, we encountered too many bugs.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

They find the right people to work with us, and they teach everyone else on the client’s end how to work, and what the best practices are. I advise clients to learn as much as they can from 500Tech.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

The application has become a valuable internal tool and is used by customers across the world. 500Tech made a point of responding quickly to inquiries and adjusting their work style to find a comfortable fit. Their professionalism and focus on customer service make them stand out in the industry.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an application engineer for Dorot Control Valves, an hydraulic control valve manufacturer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with 500Tech?

We had a requirement for an online application that would allow our customers to place air valves on a pipeline. The application we did have – a plugin into a CAD program similar to AutoCAD – was old and we needed to upgrade it. In fact, there were so many changes we wanted to make that we decided to rewrite it altogether and do it online. This would allow us to track users and offer them valve upgrades and other options.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They had the previous version - we showed them how it worked - but they had to redesign everything from scratch. We had the algorithms for the solution so they translated them into a full-solution application using Ruby on Rails. We had an intensive back and forth process to produce the beta and 1.0 versions, and then proceeded to make tweaks, additions, and revisions, until we produced the final iteration.

What is the team composition?

We worked with as many as four people during the project including their CEO – who was our main contact – and a board member.

How did you come to work with 500Tech?

They were a reference from our CFO who thought they could be the right fit for us. After extensive research on different programming outfits – ranging from freelancers to a full-support team – we went with a boutique firm.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $30,000—$35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March 2014 until June 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We at Dorot use this application on a daily basis – it's not only for our customers – and we’re very pleased with it. The UI is great and the outcome and everything works to our satisfaction. We have users signing in and using it from all over the world.

How did 500Tech perform from a project management standpoint?

It was fantastic, and there’s no superlative that could be more precise. We were very pleased. They were with us, they were attentive, and they were quick to react. Even though we were a difficult company and very far out of their comfort zone – we're a blue-collar company so we're not accustomed to developing software solutions – they were very accommodating and used Trello to manage the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were very professional, attentive, and customer-oriented.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There isn’t anything. We're truly happy with and appreciative of their work.

Any advice for potential customers?

As a general recommendation, you should have a spec very much laid out in detail to minimize the possibility of misunderstandings or incorrect implementation.
