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.

Provide them with all the details of your designs, business processes, and other things you want.

Establish a very good communication with them.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.
