AgileTech Viet Nam

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Founder of a social mobile startup. The company is currently just me. I'm an experienced founder having done 3 companies over +7 years and created many products both digital and physical.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AgileTech Viet Nam?

Since I do not know how to code, I need this expertise in order to create the app I envisioned. AgileTech seemed like a good balance in terms of trust and cost at first glance.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal of the app was to find product market fit for the app.

SOLUTION

How did you select AgileTech Viet Nam?

Found them on LinkedIn and then spoke to a couple of their references to gain confidence in them to pursue further.

Describe the project in detail.

I provided my own designs and they built the project using NodeJS and React Native. We ended up throwing away the Reach Native code for Flutter with a new Flutter lead and it's been great thus far.

What was the team composition?

1 frontend and 1 backend

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

After the design and scoping was complete, we built the app within 1.5 months, and have been bug fixing for the last 2 months. What gives me the confidence is how passionate and hard-working the developers are. I'm truly impressed.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We communicate over Skype, which is effective and simple enough. I also use Lark for my product specs and bug tracking and Google Suite for everything else like expense tracking.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Most impressed with their new Flutter dev lead. They are incredible to work with and are truly passionate about technology and our concept.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Perhaps the backend developer can be more responsive and collaborative. Seems to work slower, or maybe I'm not seeing it much because he doesn't really communicate (his English isn't that good). But the frontend developer keeps a good pace.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the founder of a retail company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. our company has 10 employees, and we serve clients in the entertainment industry around the United States. I oversee the day-to-day operations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AgileTech Viet Nam?

Our company mobile app was created less than a year ago, and we’re currently working on an update that will be rolled out in August. We had the first beta tests released in April and noticed that user behavior was trending toward social interactions. We didn’t have any social interactions and are currently working with Agile Tech to put out a new update.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to complete the MVP and roll it out for a closed group of users.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

AgileTech was a referral from a close friend.

We a series of meetings with AgileTech to define the project’s scope, objectives, and goals. We received mock-ups and two designs and then made some changes for Android and iOS. After we approved the design, AgileTech completed the wireframe.

What was the team composition?

I had access to a project lead and five frontend developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We currently don’t have downloads, as our mobile app hasn’t launched yet. We have rolled out our MVP to a controlled group of 200 users to gather real-time data on user behavior, however. Our key measure of success right now is finding growth opportunities based on how testers are using the platform.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager and lead developer were very good with communication. Basically, we communicated daily with updates on the project. All deadlines were met.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed with the flow of the project. If anything wasn’t going to work out, there was clear communication about the issues and potential solutions.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We had no issues with AgileTech and were satisfied with the project.
