Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
MVP Phase:
Purpose: Create a fully working basic proof-of-concept application. In this version we should only include non-trivial technical features and basic user features that are required to show the application Extreme Value Provided: Product can be tested and used internally Feedback can be given on a tangible software Product can be demonstrated to stakeholders: Potential investors, current customers, prospects Experience real-time intelligent sync Experience real-time reactivity (i.e. where we have listeners on certain functions that update the page without the need for page refresh) Be able to use the 90% of the application that is most often used by customers: Use the various navigation options of floorplans, create and edit punches, change status of items, work with to-do lists, and generate reports Ensure that the technical challenges are solved Proposed Features: Platform features: AWS Cloud environment “Core” implementation “Wrapper” implementation (at least one, but possibly demonstrate a second wrapper, so proof of concept can be validated) Prep for Multi-Lingual/Labels selection Offline capability with “intelligent sync” iOS, Android, Web app (with appropriate features – e.g. Admin is only on Web, etc) User authentication (but without granular permissions model) Software features: Basic design – don’t alter the base components look, but keep them at their default skin, so it’s easier to modify them in the next version Basic admin Add projects Add, edit, delete of any of the various dropdowns and ISDs Configure pre-defined “To-Dos” Add users Plan view management admin Full functionality of plan view handling Upload PDFs and prepare for deep zoom Define plan views within a plan Plan View templates Space definition Hyperlinks Blocked spaces Plan View tree Add/Edit/Delete/Move Punch Item Punch on the plan List View Plan View Punch Item View Layout Punch Item Edit Layout Batch Status Change of punch items from the list view History Log/Audit Trail (track punch changes) Add Attachments to Punch Photos Annotations Signature File from device Add/Edit To-Dos to a punch item Automatically attach a To-do list based on ISD selection Manually attach a To-Do list from inside the punch item form If requirements for to-do is not finalize, we can just proceed with basic implementation Reports Create new report Limited filters – Plan View, Resource, and Date Range Report Preview (i.e. on screen) Generate Single or Broken Down by Resource PDF Report
NOT for MVP (“Not a technical challenge” features) - I propose that all these features should NOT end up being in MVP, but move to the next version or later ones, based on feedback that we get from our sales team: Documents Manager Payment processing Purchasing workflow Subscription plan details Permissions – once the features that we want are in place, permission is implemented to enable/disable access to certain features and data based on the permission GUI to create a new tenant/site – we can set that up in the back-end so it can be demonstrated All-in-one ISD configurator – instead of an elaborate ISD configuration, I proposed same configuration we currently have Okta authentication Bulk import of any kind Batch updates (except for batch status change for punches) Any wizards that make the users’ life easier Any features that make the users’ life easier Any automation Contextual help Various legends and tooltip info Dashboard
Version 1 (v6):
Purpose: Add the features that need to be added in order to start SELLING the product Extreme Value Provided: Sales team can start selling the application at the end of this phase (or sooner) Features can be easily prioritized and released incrementally Design can be easily applied to match new branding While at the end of each sprint we will have potentially shippable features, we can make a decision if we want to release it to our customers or not Software Features: Re-prioritized features from the “Not for MVP” list above Any other features that might come up as we start using the MVP and incremental releases (scrum is a living process and allow us to change requirements and priorities along the way)
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Weekly meetings to reiew development and testing results.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
At our company, where we specialize in providing environmental consultancy services to firms, we recognize the growing significance of carbon accounting and sustainable digitalization. Many companies currently rely on manual data collection, as there are no immediate regulatory pressures driving them to adopt more advanced practices. However, we understand that regulations will likely necessitate reporting on sustainability data in the future.
To proactively address this, we've initiated the development of a Corporate Sustainability Management System. Teaming up with Apiko, we conducted a thorough Discovery process, leading to the creation of a beta version. Our goal is to present this solution to our clients and investors, showcasing its potential to enhance sustainability practices. Our roadmap involves progressing to the development of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and beyond.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The project was to create an entirely new website for our company. The high-level requirements were that most of the content be driven by a CMS backend, and that the site contain a full-featured application interface integrated with our platform backend. Apiko oversaw and executed on most aspects of the project, including:
business analysis and requirements gathering / documentation
UI / UX design
implementation of frontend and backend code, including integration with existing platform backend
software testing
project management
devops services including design, implementation and operation of the system both pre and post launch
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Successful launch of the site
User signups
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Apiko had a very professional, thorough and organized approach to project management. They were comfortable integrating into our existing project management platform. They ensured everything was tracked and gave us regular reports.
What was your primary form of communication with Apiko?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They are professional in their approach to the work but also flexible enough to be able to adjust very quickly. Among other companies we considered, they had numerous projects in their existing portfolio that closely matched the user requirements and technologies we were most interested in.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Apiko could have done differently?
Looking back I wish we would have collectively identified areas of the project that started out with unusually high levels of ambiguity and uncertainty, so that we could have adapted the requirements gathering process to be more flexible in those cases.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
They could have been more accurate with their timing and a few features took a lot longer than we expected. I appreciate these things happen especially given there have been exceptional circumstances this year.
