Alpha Bravo Development

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of Tunnels, a super app serving as a social network and music streaming service with its own cryptocurrency.

For what projects/services did your company hire Alpha Bravo Development, and what were your goals?

We hired Alpha Bravo Development to build our initial iOS mobile application so we could begin gaining users and traction and grow to other platforms such as Android, Web, tablets, etc.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We had meetings with other app development companies but none of them stood out the way Alpha Bravo Development did. They enthusiastically understood what we were trying to create and offered helpful financing options.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had initial setup calls to discuss our project in full and break it down into separate stages. We completed the design stage of Tunnels on Figma and the job they did was fantastic.

Tunnels was an idea I had came up with in high school back in 2011 and they were able to deliver results that looked exactly how I have envisioned it for all these years. We have now transitioned into our development stage and look forward to progress and completion of this phase!

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Our introductory meetings, project review, and roll on process began with Josh who was delightful. He really took his time to understand what exactly we were trying to do and helped make the transition to beginning our work exciting.

We then transferred over to our project manager Cole, who has been amazing to work with throughout this entire process. When unexpected situations came about, Cole has been great to strategize with on the best path to take. I’m really looking forward to working with Cole on future versions and updates of Tunnels.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We have definitely received more interests from venture capital firms about our project since we have began working with Alpha Bravo Development. Many which look forward to testing our beta in the upcoming future. We’re beyond excited to get to the point where we actually have people using our long awaited app.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project management and communication style has been great. All communication has been done through the Slack app which has made staying updated on the project simple and productive while managing other aspects of our project.

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

The thing that was most impressive to me initially was their designs for previous apps they have created. To see that same thing transfer to our app as well was exactly what we were hoping for. This being our first time building an app, they have been incredibly patient with us throughout this learning process which has been so greatly appreciated.

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

Honestly, even trying to provide some constructive criticism is difficult because Alpha Bravo Development has been the most ideal partners from day one. At this point in our project I have zero complaints and am beyond grateful to have stumbled across Alpha Bravo.

Please describe your company and your position there.

My company raises money for low income neighborhoods and I am the current CEO. We offer membership plans, and request donations for specific neighborhoods.

For what projects/services did your company hire Alpha Bravo Development?

We hired Alpha Bravo Development to create a Web and Mobile Application (iOS + Android). They also currently help us manage the application since launch.

What were your goals for this project?

My goals for this project was to make a really high quality application that was simple to use and user friendly. We wanted to create something that was a really streamlined and simple process to go from a user, to a donator.

How did you select this vendor?

We selected Alpha Bravo Development after listening to the development process. I was considering going with other companies but they really only focused on the development of the project, and not really about the overall experience. When speaking to Alpha Bravo Development, they sounded like they were really going to take care of me as well as the development of the project. They definitely did that.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Alpha Bravo Development created an application that allowed the users to make donations to low income communities. They created a membership platform that redirected the user's membership fee to the state they are from, and created a way for people to directly donate to specific projects within communities. After they completed the development they helped us manage the application with their management package which has been going great as well.

What was the team composition?

The team was made up of one Project Manager who was with me from the beginning, and still helps me with my application, designers for the mockups, and developers who created the application. The team increased when all of the designs were approved and they increased the development of the application.

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

My project has had a huge effect on my business as before we created this application we had to manually direct all the money to the state of the member. The application made everything a lot easier as the money was automatically directed to the proper state, and increased donations as people could select projects they would like to donate to in addition to their membership cost.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project Management was really effective as promised. When we first spoke Alpha Bravo Development mentioned how project management and communication is something super important to them and they followed through on that. They provided me with daily updates on Slack and we had a call once a week to discuss the project.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The thing that I found most impressive with the company is how they had such high quality development, and also cared so much about me and my project. There was never a time where I was not up to date with what was going on, or a time where I felt everything was not under control. Then at the end of development everything was exactly how I wanted because I was there to approve of everything along the way.

Are there any areas for improvement?

One thing that could have been changed was that I should have mentioned additions I may want to add in the middle of development. When we started this project I did not mention to them that I may want to add a few things during development so that caused the price to increase a bit. At the end of the day I got exactly what I wanted for a fair price so I was definitely satisfied.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of an entertainment and events company located in Philadelphia, PA. We service 150+ events per year providing clients with planning services.

For what projects/services did your company hire Alpha Bravo Development?

We needed an app for our clients to be able to login and manage a few different planning documents that would automatically be saved into an account that our staff can look at prior to the event.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to have an app ready by the end of summer for the fall 2019 season for us.

How did you select this vendor?

We searched online and found an ad from Alpha Bravo Development. I then had multiple calls with their team and eventually received a document outlining the entire project, and finally a quote.

Describe the project in detail.

Alpha Bravo broke down development into multiple stages, starting with a design and research phase, followed by development, testing, then launch and implementation. Throughout the entire project, I was constantly receiving updates and was in the loop with progress. This app is solely for the iOS app store, with an online website for our staff to manage clients.

What was the team composition?

Throughout the project, I was in direct communication with a project manager. There was also a more senior manager who periodically checked in with me to make sure everything was going smoothly. The development team was made up of I believe one designer, and two engineers.

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

All deadlines were met, and our app was actually launched faster than anticipated. Alpha Bravo was great in helping notify our client of the app, as well as training my staff on how to use the web management portal.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager did a great job keeping me updated and responded to my feedback and questions in a very timely manner. I was their only contact from my business, but I believe they would have done a great job if there were multiple people on my side to communicate with.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I am most impressed with their level of support and dedication. They really do go the extra mile to ensure that I'm happy throughout the process, and further supported my app and business after launch for a monthly fee (about $2000/mo)

Are there any areas for improvement?

The launch process was a little complicated as I had to do a few things on my own that I was not familiar with, such as getting an Apple Developer account and a duns number. If there was a way for them to do this for me, it would have saved me some time.

Please describe your company and your position there.

The application is extremely high quality and really is a good representation of my vision. It is really easy for me to manage my content and for my customers to watch content when I upload it. It is also super easy for my customers to join the livestream and keep up with the workouts.

The project management was really strong. Alpha Bravo Development had really good communication and sent me updates on Slack. I always felt that they were on top of everything and there for me if I had any questions or needed anything.

The most impressive thing about the company was the quality of work that was delivered. The work was always on time and always exceeded my expectations.

Then, they built me a really impressive Project Scope that covered everything we spoke about, gave me a quote that was fair, and sent me over their Software Portfolio of past work they have developed. After all of this I knew they were right choice.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We started off the project with mockups which I was really happy with because I got to see my whole application at the beginning of development. After this they went into developing the application where I was updated Daily on Slack. After we finished development they helped me launch the application, and also helped manage my application.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project management started with my project manager creating a project scope and quote for my project. After we started development we communicated daily on Slack receiving updated on the project. In addition, we set up weekly review calls to go over what has been done to prior week, and review any future additions.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The thing that I found most impressive about Alpha Bravo Development was their quality and communication. Typically, when working with other companies they either have very high quality work, and not great communication or low quality work and are very dedicated to your project. With Alpha Bravo Development I got extremely high quality work, while also feeling like they really cared about my project and me with the extensive communication they had.
