Hi. I am the marketing director at Foodak and we’ve recently built a stunning app to promote our food delivery services. We offer various types of food delivery services and offer a huge variety of cuisines to users. They can access hundreds of restaurants nearby and enjoy top-quality food anytime anywhere. I am associate with the company since May 2020 and handling online marketing and promotion operations for the company.  

To enhance our marketing outcome, we needed a mobile application. However, we don’t have a dedicated app development department in our company. We’re a start-up food delivery service provider and haven’t set up such departments for the firm. So, we approached Appikr to conduct our app-building operations!

For what projects/services did your company hire Appikr Labs, and what were your goals?

We hired Appikr to create an online food delivery app amd provide our top services through it.

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

Earlier we were hiring a freelancer for our development project but were unaware of the project scope. Then we decided to go for an app development company for better assistance and support. We came to know about Appikr on the SERPs and visited their website right away. We were impressed watching their progress throughout the last 6 years and reviewed their tech stack for getting a proper understanding of their app development potential. 

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

Our marketing team got to know about Appikr from social media channels and soon communicated with their development experts. They went through our business ideas and requirements and suggested we go for a cross-platform development approach. We also needed to target the audience irrespective of their devices. The cross-platform approach proved to be a cheaper and faster option for our project and we ended up creating a flexible app to trigger a wider audience throughout the country. 

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

Appikr appointed 6 development, designing, and testing experts for our project who remained in constant communication with our marketing team throughout the project. They also suggested many ideal features for our app to attract more users to app stores.  

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

We’re glad to see that our mobile app is performing effectively on app stores. We’re also getting new visitors on our social media handles and gaining popularity on various internet resources. Foodak has got 100K installations on Google Play and App Store. We also came up with an update in March 2022 for our users and followers. We’d like to thank Appikr for their exceptional efforts and dedication to our project and for letting us understand our start-up potential. 

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

Appikr handled our project in a creative way and followed an innovative approach for timely submission. Their development team stays connected on Skype and keeps suggesting various solutions together to maintain work quality. One thing that I liked about their project management is their flexible approach. They always work with a Plan-B or Plan-C to overcome uncertainties. We recommend their style for complex app-building projects.

The apps we were looking at, which I believe were a combination of VR and more traditional apps, got excellent ratings, so we contacted them. We found out more about them and thought it would be a wonderful match. 

I reached out to them, and they were speedy in their response, professional in their approach, and accommodated any queries or concerns I had. They seemed to grasp the objective of where I wanted the game to go, so we followed the process from there.

We felt comfortable working with them because of their portfolio and the quickness with which they answered.

To develop an ERP App- Geo Pal. We hired Appikr to develop a full-cycle app that integrates well with all the third-party services and our cloud. The app has many complicated integrations, but Appikr has submitted the app ahead of time.

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

We were looking for an experienced app development agency to develop our organization. Our organization was searching around and there are so many companies to choose from that. Yeah, it’s overwhelming! But when we spoke with Appikr, it seemed natural, and had the impression that it would be an educational experience for us, and that they would be interested. This meant a great deal to us.

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

Appikr was involved in the app's design and development from start to finish. Appikr held several brainstorming meetings to build the company concept. The software was created for both the Android and iOS platforms. The online version is planned to be completed soon.

We had a whole team of consultants, mobile analysts, domain experts, technical architects, designers, app and web developers, quality guarantees professionals, and a project manager from Apikr. My project goals were originally reviewed with Appikr’s team, who asked industry-related questions to better grasp the core of our product and the difficulties of the child welfare system. They've completed the development process, ensuring that the platform is compatible with iOS and Android.

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

To work on this project, we had 5 individuals on our team and one Project Coordinator, Mayank from Appikr. Not only did he serve as a liaison between the customer and the team, but he also worked with us as a technical advisor. Their activeness and upfront working style have substantially benefited the team in finishing the project ahead of the deadline.

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

We have a sophisticated ERP system that demands exact functionality, and Appikr has helped us strengthen our product matrix by providing all of the solutions we needed. Our internal team and clients have already provided excellent comments on their experiences with the new system, recognizing the differences between it and our previous ERP platform.

We searched the internet for mobile app development businesses and compiled a list. We made it a point to read each company's web evaluations and discovered that Appikr was the highest-rated among similar businesses. We looked at their credentials and the sorts of applications they've created in the past, looking for engaging yet simple-to-use apps. Following that, we approached these businesses and urged them to submit ideas.

Appikr was selected from the final choice however; they were not the most affordable alternative. The manner they communicated and their professional demeanor struck us the most. The quality of the software that Appikr has previously produced was the most crucial element in our selection. We also chatted with their customers, who were quite pleased. These signs are what made them more dependable to us.

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

Appikr forced us to collaborate. They utilize Basecamp as a project management platform, which has helped them achieve unprecedented levels of productivity. They kept in touch with us frequently, ensuring that the project's various phases were finished on time, every time, and within budget limitations. Overall, we are quite pleased with their job. They've been giving excellent service, meeting our needs, and beyond our expectations – they're an amazing group to deal with.

Everything was done methodically right from the start; in two weeks, I had a full UI mock-up with several possibilities. Weekly Skype sessions with the Project Head, as well as regular calls, helped me keep my confidence and sustain the pace toward a faultless delivery. The team exchanged app builds regularly, including adjustments and modifications.

Anything that was left out of the product remark was addressed, and I will always remember Appikr for this. It says a lot about a firm that is prepared to go out of its way to support customers and establish long-term commercial relationships. Merchants and customers consistently provide us with great feedback about the app. We're set to start work on the premium paid version's next phase of development.

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

I was blown away by Top Management's professionalism, work ethic, and client-friendly approach, as well as the CEO's unwavering support for any essential conversations. On crucial issues, I have always considered the CEO to be thoughtful and sensible. What makes Appikr unique to me is its capacity to provide a pleasant experience for the client.

Defects and difficulties will inevitably occur in every App Development firm; nevertheless, what differentiates them is a positive attitude and prompt resolution of issues to provide consumers with a faultless product experience. Appikr's crew also excels at brainstorming; I've always found them to be equally invested in the product and willing to provide recommendations to improve it. Also, the attitude of accepting mistakes has left a lasting impression on me.

I'd like to call attention to Project Head's fantastic working style, in which he always praised his team's efforts. Any good work and helpful suggestions made by his team were always shared with me. Giving credit to the team says volumes about the culture and work ethics that pervade the organization from top to bottom.

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

Nothing is perfect, and there’s always a chance of improvement, but the way Appikr took the project forward keeps their limitations fade in the blues.

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

Before I began the process, I did a lot of research on app development businesses, and I found Appikr. They responded quickly, were professional in their approach, and accommodated any questions or concerns I had. We proceeded from there since they seemed to comprehend the goal of where I wanted the app to go.

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

We chose the provider and met with the sales manager for an initial discussion, following which we reviewed the app's complexity. He then worked with his project team to design a detailed procedure, which we reviewed and approved. The project began in earnest when we were presented to the team that would be working on the application, and everyone's job position and responsibilities were thoroughly described.

On Google Play, they were found. We saw that they had several apps that would be compatible with our SDK. We contacted the developers of the applications we were looking at, which I believe were a hybrid of VR and more regular apps. We learned more about them and felt they'd be a great fit.

Because of their portfolio and the speed with which they responded, we felt at ease dealing with them. They were involved in our concept and ready to get started – you could sense their passion, for want of a better word. Because we're a fast-paced organisation, having engineers that share that perspective is essential.

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

Front End Developer, Sales Manager, Project Manager Back-end developers, and QA.

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

We began with a requirement study, and the Business Analyst team assisted us with the Scope of Work and all other documentation. They talked with our team to figure out what we needed for the initial stage. Then they devised a strategy for developing the app, including technologies to use and revisions to our needs to make our operations run more smoothly.

Their design team assisted us with the UI/UX and prototype of our app after the initial stage. Their deliveries were of high quality and frequently exceeded expectations. We occasionally missed each other on an idea, but this was due to a simple misinterpretation of what was mentioned in the emails, which was quickly corrected. Only a few games have impressed me as much as the one they've produced.

We found out about them from a business partner with whom we had been collaborating. Our team is looking for a consultant that can make recommendations for the finest software to integrate into our system. So far, the results have been fantastic. Without them, figuring out what systems we required to achieve our objectives would have been extremely tough.

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

They were really quick to respond. I was calling their Vice President of Sales on a regular basis. The personnel were available at all times. We communicated over Skype. The entire success of the app remains to be seen. No one will type our game's name unless they are already familiar with it.

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

Appikr goes above and above to fully comprehend their clients' goals, and they are constantly open to fresh ideas. It was a smooth and unrivalled collaboration.

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

We experienced some challenges with the procedure at the start of development, which took longer than planned. However, management guided me and my team through the process, and everything went off without a hitch. I've worked with software businesses before, and software projects are notorious for being late. What matters, in the end, is the quality.
