BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of marketing and product development for Wexpand. We offer recruitment services for clients in the US. We provide staff, but they do their job in Mexico, allowing our clients to save up to 60% of costs. We even use Clutch to find the majority of our clients.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Alluxi?

We needed someone to develop a custom-built solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Alluxi provided the architecture for the MVP using AWS. They did everything related to DevOps. They mounted all the servers with AWS and an AI system they developed. They used Python for the backend; we didn’t have to do much. 

On the other hand, the plug-in was a collaboration; they did one part, and we did the other using React Native. We also used MySQL and MongoDB for the databases. Overall, Alluxi handled the architecture, and we delegated tasks using the Scrum methodology. Even though we were the client, we shared responsibilities, and Alluxi guided us through the sprints.

What is the team composition?

We closed the deal with Gustavo (Founder & CEO), who always accompanied us. Sandra (Business Developer) was our project manager; she guided us through all the tasks. Additionally, we had two developers and a data scientist.

How did you come to work with Alluxi?

We talked with over 20 companies in Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, and the US. Alluxi stood out for their level of support and service. They were perfect for our purposes as an independent company. 

Overall, Alluxi provided the most value. Although they weren’t the most affordable, they were the ones that provided the best value in methodology. They were open and organized about how they would build the MVP.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in September 2023, and they finished the MVP in March 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re a traditional company moving towards technology; it’s been challenging for our partners to open their minds to everything. However, we’ve arrived at that point thanks to this development project. Alluxi developed the MVP in less than six months, a record time.

We're unable to share goals, sales, and user acquisition.

How did Alluxi perform from a project management standpoint?

In terms of communication, Alluxi’s methodology was spectacular. We used many tools besides Jira and WhatsApp, and the team was super open and available to answer doubts.

Moreover, the team was very professional and committed to the project. We never saw a negative side regarding deliverables. Sandra spoke clearly from the beginning and met deadlines. If we asked them to do something in less time, they respectfully told us why it would take that long. Alluxi guided us through the planning and the timelines.

Regarding budget, they weren’t the cheapest. We saw some offers for less than $15,000, but Alluxi’s value wasn’t in terms of money. We even negotiated with them, and they were open to lowering the price.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Gustavo was open-minded and good at problem-solving. His support was very personalized; he always guided us on where to go, which we never saw with other developers or software companies. He immediately answered and programmed a meeting when we wrote to him. 

Moreover, we always felt he put in extra effort to solve our problems. For example, he took some roles that weren’t on the contract but provided them to keep the project going.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Our company always talks about work culture and values. One value we have is going the extra mile, and Alluxi did it. Some things weren’t included in the contract, but they took additional responsibility to help us finish the project. Overall, Alluxi brought their knowledge and unlocked everything that was blocked.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I didn’t see anything negative. Our whole experience was positive.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend constant communication with the team. Gustavo has a lot of knowledge, but you must ask him questions and communicate with him.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of an online retrospective tool company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Alluxi?

We needed help redeveloping my web app to make it scalable.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Alluxi is helping us with our web app's front- and backend redesign and redevelopment using JavaScript and Firebase. We've started the process with initial communication with Alluxi's leadership team to discuss what we want to accomplish for our platform regarding features and designs. We've also reviewed Figma mock-ups and themes to determine the product's functionality priorities and development costs.

In terms of the web app's features, the platform allows users to log in via Google or email, receive notifications, and interact with AI.

What was the team composition? 

We've worked with three members of Alluxi's team, including Gustavo (CEO), Monica (Junior Web Developer), and another developer.

How did you come to work with Alluxi?

Someone referred Alluxi to us.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we've spent around $15,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Alluxi’s team has an on-point attention to detail and has been open to considering the several business processes we’ve listed for them. 

How did Alluxi perform from a project management standpoint?

Alluxi’s communication is great; we use Google Meet and Slack as our main communication tools.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review? 

I’d like to give a shoutout to Monica.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Alluxi’s communication and attention to detail are their biggest strengths. We also like that the time difference between us and them is such that we can have conversations with them during the day, which works out great for us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think they can improve anything — the team has been great at implementing the changes we’ve requested.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Provide them with all the details of your designs, business processes, and other things you want. It’s important to be upfront and clear with the information you give them because they pay attention to those details and try to meet your requirements. The more designs and artifacts you give them, the easier it is for them to understand what you want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of WB Labs, a job interview preparation platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Alluxi?

We needed help developing our platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Alluxi has helped us develop our platform and technology from scratch. Initially, we worked with them to design the product. We already had some wireframes and designs for what we wanted to build, but they also created another design. Since then, Alluxi has been building our product.

Our platform is a web app where users can create an interview guide from scratch. Whenever a user wants to interview a candidate, they use this platform to create the different types of questions they can ask.

How did you come to work with Alluxi?

We found them through a referral. Initially, we had various conversations with Alluxi’s team, during which they provided us with some estimations and a budget.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve already finished the MVP and showed it to our customers, who have really liked it. They’ve told us that they love the platform.

How did Alluxi perform from a project management standpoint?

Alluxi has delivered on time and on budget. Moreover, they’re very good at communicating. We meet twice a week via Google Meet and use Slack for regular communication. Additionally, they use Jira for project management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Alluxi has a very good and cohesive team that is willing to do their best. Moreover, they’re very trustworthy.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Alluxi has been more optimistic than realistic regarding expectations, so we’ve seen some delays. However, those delays have been expected, and overall, this issue hasn’t bothered me.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Establish a very good communication with them.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We started by mapping all the project requirements; then, they did some research to determine possible solutions according to Shopify's restrictions. Communication with the project manager was very effective; we had follow-up meetings every week to review the progress and changes. Ultimately, Alluxi delivered the Shopify app as we had agreed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Authorization completed in Shopify's app store

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Alluxi team covered our needs as we evolved. We understand that we change our business model several times within the project but they managed to deliver in an acceptable lapse. Therefore, even when they missed some deadlines, we know it was due to the project’s nature.

What was your primary form of communication with Alluxi?

Virtual Meeting

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

The communication was outstanding, both in follow-ups and in changes of focus; we always felt supported during the process.

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

I realized that they did not know all the restrictions of Shopify at the beginning, but they did a great job of researching and contextualizing the technology we needed.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder and CEO of Howamigoing?, an employee feedback and engagement platform catered towards startups and small businesses in the UK.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Alluxi?

We were looking for a software design and development partner that could scale their services up and down depending on demand.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Alluxi provides UI/UX design, QA testing, and full-stack software development to create a web-based app, which they built upon from our existing design sketches. The features they’ve implemented on the app include a PR recognition tool, a suggestion box, and feedback capabilities to gain accurate insight from users and businesses.

What is the team composition?

We’re in contact with two software developers, a designer, and a project manager.

How did you come to work with Alluxi?

What attracted me to Alluxi was their nicely designed website, as it showed me that they take their design work seriously. We also liked their prompt and professional response to our inquiries, and they were friendly and communicative throughout the discussion of the pricing and payment structure.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend somewhere between $3,000–$8,000 a month.

What is the status of this engagement?

Anecdotally speaking, they’re quick to produce design options and provide feedback. They’re also collaborative, responsive, and open to feedback. The platform they developed and are now supporting has streamlined our process, and we haven’t experienced any bugs so far.

How did Alluxi perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re in a good timezone where they can be more flexible in scaling the software development and design process to meet economic demands. We utilize the Kanban structure to manage our project and have weekly calls for progress updates.

So far, the team has been consistently responsive, even during the weekends, to resolve issues quickly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with their friendliness, flexibility, and design skills.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they need to improve on at this point.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d advise you to provide the team with the proper documentation, always make sure to overcommunicate, and allow them the time and space to accomplish your needs.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner, manager, and strategist of a company that offers loyalty support for retail brands.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Alluxi?

We engaged with them annually to support various aspects of a single client’s loyalty program.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The work was very broad-reaching, but included tasks such as everyday support and operations, mobile web experiences, API, database, and web development, and a great deal of on-demand capabilities. The engagement was longstanding, and when the client requested more functionalities, Alluxi provided the development. 

Alluxi inherited a basic platform that was already developed, took over that platform, and began to expand the capabilities of what we were able to offer our client. One of the core features they developed was the creation of APIs that showed loyalty information of members when they logged into the company website. This required a large amount of optimization around performance, and Alluxi managed the optimization of both the APIs and the environment that supported it. 

Another feature that they created was deep integration with text and SMS. This included a mobile web experience that we presented to members in SMS that showed them their coupons, rewards, and other targeted messages that were based on demand. If someone texted in a particular keyword, then we displayed the mobile web experience customized for that user. 

Key technologies of the projects included Django, Python, and PostgreSQL. 

What is the team composition?

We primarily communicated with Gustavo (CEO & Founder). 

How did you come to work with Alluxi?

They were referred to us through another company we were working with. After talking with Gustavo, we felt Alluxi understood what we needed and the requirements of working within the retail space.  

How much have you invested with them?

We invested close to $2 million with Alluxi. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them between September 2017–October 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The success is around system performance, accuracy, and uptime, and the quality of their work is demonstrated by the fact that we continued to work with them for five years. 

How did Alluxi perform from a project management standpoint?

The vast majority of our requests were delivered on time. We worked with them for an extended period, so there were issues from time to time, but they were always handled. We primarily met virtually. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They delivered on what they said they were going to, and for the most part it was delivered on time and in a manner that integrated well with the overall team in terms of execution. They adapted to our requests very well. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing that we can think of that they could have improved upon. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re looking for a collaborator and someone that cares deeply about the project, then you should hire Alluxi. They provide support and solutions that go beyond what you ask for, and because of that, they’re a great partner.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a freelance designer. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Alluxi?

I was trying to create a platform that could allow customers to create digital wedding invites.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Alluxi developed a platform for us that creates different events using Django. We provided the initial requirements and design of the platform. Once they received that information, Alluxi carried on with the implementation. 

The tool integrated into the website allows users to create custom invitations that invitees can RSVP to. The tool made it easier for the bride and groom to track their guest list. 

What is the team composition?

About three teammates were involved in the project: a lead developer and back- and frontend developers. 

How did you come to work with Alluxi?

I’d worked with Alluxi before; I’d created designs for them for other projects. I knew they were good at their job, so I hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

I invested $4,000–$5,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

This partnership was from November 2020–February 2021. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

When we first launched the platform, we wanted to sell 3–4 invite packages a month. Because of the good work Alluxi executed, the tool works well, and we’re selling 10–12 invite packages a month. 

How did Alluxi perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team communicated well, providing daily updates on the project. We also had weekly calls to discuss implementation schedules on Zoom or Google Meet. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I know a little about development work, so I can confidently say their work was of good quality. Alluxi’s team was quick to implement everything I asked for. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything they could change — they’re focused on continuous improvement.
