Such software potentially can be used for revenue control, automation, and security applications. Instead of limiting the function of the cameras for these purposes, the images from the cameras can be captured and analyzed for further decision-making processes.

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am an Account Manager at Sparkybit. We are a seasoned Salesforce Consulting and Implementation Partner.
For what projects/services did your company hire Abto Software, and what were your goals?
We hired Abto’s team to help us in distribution of financial services and products for small businesses in the DACH region. They were actively involved and helped us automate the sales’ process using a custom web solution and integration with the Salesforce CPQ. Also, their engineers worked on 3rd party e-signature integration for signing contracts online.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Abto Software was highly recommended to us by one of our clients. They had a solid experience in software development and payment automation. Also, their team had the needed technical skills and capacity to stick to our deadlines.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The implemented sales system simplified sales processes in our partner’s two branch companies acquired and joined to the head company recently. The Abto Software team was responsible for the creation of a UI based web solution for end consumers and integration with Salesforce. Plus, based on the business analysis, their representatives pointed out that earlier gathered requirements didn’t include the opinions of each and every stakeholder.
That is why Abto initiated new interviews and, as a result, identified several problems that we haven’t seen earlier. Afterwards, they came up with the suitable solution. Technologies used in the project were: .NET, .NET Core, AngularJS.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
There were 5 people working on the project from Abto’s side: 2 developers, business analyst, QA engineer, project manager.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Thanks to Abto Software we were able to simplify and automate the whole process of B2B’ sales of the financial services for small businesses. Additionally, the team was really proactive and could identify technology and business nuances we couldn’t notice. They made everything from their side to deliver the best outcomes in the project.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Abto’s team is really professional and responsive. They always stuck to the deadlines and made sure every detail was considered. Their knowledge and commitment made our project happen.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Honesty, along with tech skills, and a proactive approach.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
They did everything right.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the co-founder and CEO of Blinktbi, Inc. We make an FDA-approved medical device to test for various central nervous system diseases and concussions.
What challenge were you trying to address with Abto Software?
We created a neural network to analyze the eyes and hired Abto Software to help develop the software.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Everything Abto Software did was from scratch; the first project we had them work on was an AI neural network. The way the device works is that a camera takes a picture and then finds the eyelids; Abto Software helped to develop the neural network.
The next project we had them working on was based on facial recognition software and looking at the eyes to see if the user was the same person. After that, they built two different mobile applications for us that worked with our medical device. The iOS and Android apps allow users to choose a patient and all their information, which gets sent to our medical device to produce the photos and perform the test.
We also had them working on a few R&D projects that we didn’t know how to move forward with. They not only worked with us, they ended up creating the work and will be included in a few of our patents. They took care of all maintenance on the projects.
What is the team composition?
The first person we spoke to was Yuriy (Chief Sales & Marketing Officer & Co-Owner); beyond that, we worked with the head of each group, software engineers, and other project managers and developers.
How did you come to work with Abto Software?
We found them with a Google search; we chose them because they were the most responsive of all the companies we were talking to. We felt like Abto Software understood what we needed and thought they would work well with us.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent a little less than $200,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together between November 2020–August 2022. We plan on working with them again in the near future.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The goal with our neural network was to ensure that the data from our device was correct; Abto Software hit that with our developers very quickly. We would set milestones for other projects like software development and mobile applications, and they would hit them.
We started with only one project, but we were so happy with their work that we decided to expand that to a much larger scope.
How did Abto Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management was some of the strongest we’ve ever worked with. The engagement was entirely virtual, and we communicated via email and Zoom. We had an excellent working cadence where we would test everything and send them notes, and they would work on that overnight and give it back to us the next day. They always hit deadlines, and very often, they exceeded them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They understood our needs, and even if we didn’t know what we were looking for, they would help us clarify and figure it out. We would give ideas, and they translated them to their engineers effectively. They were able to turn those ideas into something tangible that we could use.
They also did a great job choosing the right people for each project we worked on.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing we can come up with.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be in constant communication and set the parameters and expectations early. Tell them your strengths and lay everything out on the table so they can better understand what they’re working with.

I'm the Director of Applications for a Security Company that operates nationwide in the United States.
For what projects/services did your company hire Abto Software, and what were your goals?
We have a centralized command center that consumes data from workers that are on-site at client locations. The command center analyzes the data and determines how to disseminate the information. Our company identified the manner in which information was coming in, being processed, and going out was antiquated and manual. We challenged Abto Software to assist us in developing a custom application to deliver gains in worker efficiency, data accuracy, and process adherence.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
When i joined the company the project was over timeline and budget significantly. Based on discussions with the existing team there was no salvaging the relationship with the existing development partner. As a result, an RFP was conducted across 5+ firms and 4+ regions of the world. Ultimately we chose Abto due to a history of success working with development partners in E. Europe, competitive pricing, company size, and presentation.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
After evaluating the existing code base the team worked diligently to rewrite the application which utilizes python and vue jest framework. We were able to quickly get the application live and then re-write the bulk of the code. After stabilizing the product the team has been pumping out enhancements and developing new modules to support other lines of the business.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Over the course of the relationship, the team size has changed as internal and external factors influenced it. For the bulk of the project, the team consisted of a scrum master, Technical Lead, 1 frontend developer, 1 backend developer, a full stack developer, and a QA resource.

The delivery of the custom app has transformed our organization into a data-driven operation. Worker satisfaction has increased, and worker efficiency has increased.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The project operates in an agile methodology with daily stand-ups and weekly high-level meetings. Jira, Confluence, and TEAMs are utilized for primary communication and organization.

We wanted to move our existing VB6 Project to a web-based ERP system and integrated our mobile app.
What were your goals for this project?
We wanted a smooth transition from our existing classic system to a more modern web system that can be securely accessed from any device with internet access.
How did you select this vendor?
We reviewed several vendors and held meetings with the leaders of each potential vendor. Abto Software was a highly knowledgeable and effective team, so we chose them for our project.
Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?
Our ERP system is comprised of numerous modules that needed to be systematically moved to the web. The entire process needed to be completed without causing issues to the existing system, while adding enhancements that would create a user buy-in. Abto worked with POS, Payment Integration, Google Calendar interfacing, PO/AR/GL - Accounting, and mobile app integration.
What was the team composition?
We had three main development teams that comprised of both mid-level and senior developers. Each team included QA, project manager, and tech writers.

The project was arranged by a primary project manager on Abto's side. We had a second project manager who managed a particularly large module that integrated across the system. Both project managers met with me on a regular basis to provide updates on their portions of the project. This set-up worked spectacularly.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We are a software vendor located in Switzerland, with an international reach. We offer our product to companies from Germany and the rest of Europe, which are using SharePoint in their operations. We work exclusively with Microsoft solutions. I am the head of product development.
What challenge were you trying to address with ABTO Software?
We had a hard time finding Microsoft SharePoint engineers in Switzerland. There is a general lack in resources, and we also looked to reduce costs.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We have a 5-person design team in Switzerland. The engineering work is done by ABTO Software. We have a scrum process, with all of the story writing being done on our side.
Our work with ABTO Software was project-based initially, with 1-2 of their resources working on smaller tasks. After around 3 years, we decided to engage a dedicated team from ABTO Software, which has grown to 11 people at present. The team is composed mainly of software engineers, but we also have quality assurance specialists. ABTO Software runs automated tests for us.
We have worked exclusively using the Microsoft stack. While expanding our team, we also had to ramp-up knowledge. I have visited ABTO Software 5-6 times and have provided training to our team members. ABTO Software has provided well-educated people, so it was easy to introduce them to our technology.
How did you come to work with ABTO Software?
We were working with another company who used ABTO Software for mobile projects, and [they] had a good experience. I had a talk with the chief executive officer of that company and decided to try ABTO Software. The collaboration worked quite well, compared to previous experiences. Ukraine has a similar culture and way of thinking to Switzerland, so it was a good advantage.
How much have you invested with ABTO Software?
We have been using a dedicated team for 3 and a half years, which is indicative of our expenditure with ABTO Software, but I cannot provide an exact figure.
What is the status of this engagement?
We have been working with ABTO Software for 6-7 years.
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
Because we're a software vendor and handle our own product engineering, we don't measure ABTO Software's impact on a project or sprint basis. There is a constant workload for ABTO Software, and our product is continuously evolving. ABTO Software has had an impact for our company in terms of work power, so we've been able to develop faster because of their services.
How did ABTO Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Everything in terms of project management is handled by us. We don't have a project-based engagement with ABTO Software, so there are no timelines. If ABTO Software can finish the work within a 2-week sprint, then everything is okay. We have gone through 30 stories with ABTO Software so far.
We use Microsoft Team Foundation Server for project tracking. ABTO Software also uses a tool for time logging. I don't use it myself because we simply work through 2-week sprints, so I only care if the work is done or not.
What did you find most impressive about ABTO Software?
ABTO Software has very good resources. I was especially impressed with one of our engineers, who was committed to our project. We always wanted to have a level of trust, and that trust is present with ABTO Software, from their team to the principals.
Are there any areas ABTO Software could improve?
Quality can always be improved, but this comes with knowledge and good resources.
Thanks to the Abto Software team, the client was able to simplify and automate the whole process of B2B sales of financial services for small businesses. They appreciated the vendor's professionalism and responsiveness throughout their collaboration.
