Amsterdam Standard

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the managing director and co-owner of GoPhoto, a software for attraction photography.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Amsterdam Standard?

We collaborated with Amsterdam Standard to implement technology, acquire customer data, and automate the photography process.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to make attraction photography easy and profitable. The process is usually too time-consuming for the photographer, who needs to take photos, transfer them to a computer, edit and select them, and post them on a digital platform. We asked Amsterdam Standard to automate all those tasks.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I knew that Amsterdam Standard is one of the best software companies in the country, so I went straight to them with my idea. After catching their interest, they agreed to work on this project.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We developed a new technology for photography at attractions. Our app allows users to shoot thousands of photos each hour, connect a photo pass, and upload their photos. Pictures are generated with an existing green screen technology, which we improved for this project. 

Then the app transfers photo data from a mobile device or camera to the photo processing server. Customers can review the photos on the website, print them immediately, or purchase them. Our print kiosk software allows visitors to directly view, select, and print their photos in different sizes. The software protects printers from unauthorized use by connecting to the POS system. 

The software also has a full-featured dashboard that tracks user and sales statistics in real time, sets up automated mailing campaigns, controls the “look and feel” of the photo website, and more.

What was the team composition?

A project manager, two backend developers, two mobile developers, two UI/UX designers, and one frontend developer were involved in this project. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They built several applications that form our powerful product suite and offer a total solution for photography at high-traffic attractions.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our communication was smooth, easy, and pleasant. Amsterdam Standard used an agile Scrum methodology, so we had weekly meetings to track project development. Each specialist was responsible for completing their own tasks and making continuous progress.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Amsterdam Standard provided a wide range of services and delivered impressive results in each area.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I was satisfied with the results. Amsterdam Standard is a long-term partner I could rely on.
