APPLIFY

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of The Golf Revolution.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with APPLIFY?

We needed a vendor to help us create a prototype of a golf fantasy application. We only had a concept in mind.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, we first had 3–4 calls with APPLIFY to explain the app we wanted to create. They had no clue about the sport, so we also spent time talking about golf with them. Once they understood everything, we proceeded with the work; they helped us build a prototype of the app based on our requirements.

Golf is typically an individual game, so we turned it into a team event in the app. There are over 200 golf events happening all across the world, so users can pick events that are based on actual events. From there, they can pick their team and check out player credentials, success rate, and failure rate. The tournament goes on for four days, and the app itself gives pointers based on the rules set in the backend. It also allows players to bet or play with points.

APPLIFY only created a prototype that we plan to showcase to investors. When the app gets developed, we plan to make it available for both Android and iOS users.

What is the team composition?

There was a team of designers made up of four to six people, including a supervisor. There was one project lead that picked each team member based on their skill set.

How did you come to work with APPLIFY?

We looked at multiple vendors and took three factors into consideration: delivery, cost-effectiveness, and quality. We saw some of APPLIFY’s previous work, which met all of the criteria. They also did similar projects in the sports industry and had experience in creating mobile apps that were funded by venture capital firms.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $5,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together on this project from June–July 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

They participated a lot in the growth of our business — as a matter of fact, they over delivered by providing us with several design options throughout the project. Also, they gave us a lot of great feedback about creating a fantasy game app.

How did APPLIFY perform from a project management standpoint?

They were excellent. They kept the project below $6,000 and were able to complete it within a month. For communication, we interacted through email and held phone calls to discuss tasks and progress. We knew exactly what was going on throughout. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their designers were impressive — they delivered quality work and spent a lot of time understanding our business. Moreover, they always asked questions about the rules of the sport, conducted their own research,  and came up with ideas to further improve the overall design. Overall, their team went above and beyond in helping us develop a good product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. We were 100% satisfied with their work.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

APPLIFY is a process-driven company that knows its stuff very well. They have the expertise and experience of launching a large number of apps, which allows them to understand and handle different business needs. Also, when working with them, it’s not just about developing software or app; they also become your business partner who gives helpful advice.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am one of the Company Directors for a new streaming application that involves hundreds of people from the entertainment industry.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire APPLIFY?

We had a new idea about how to evolve the arts, because when Covid hit, the live show business industry was the first to be hit and likely the last to come back. We need Applify to create and design an app and website that would be easy to use and function well with multiple users at one time.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to launch the app within 6 months of engaging to Applify (which we are on course to do) and we want to sign up hundreds of users within the first year. We want a user friendly platform that is simple and effective and runs smoothly.

SOLUTION

How did you select APPLIFY?

We compared numerous companies during 2 months of our selection process and found Applify was the best in terms of communication and price, and they had a good handle and vision on the project we wanted to create.

Describe the project in detail.

After engaging Applify, we had a few meetings to focus on our goals and what could be done in the time allowed. Since we are a new company, we did rely on Applify's knowledge in this area and they delivered with useful information and honest opinions about what would work and what wouldn't.

Applify delivered a series of wireframes after discussion with many team members and then went about developing the wireframes into smartphone applications, tv apps and a website with a backend. Changes and feedback was always encouraged.

We now are fine-tuning the apps and website and setting up other areas such as payment, video uploads etc. We are on track for delivery.

What was the team composition?

We initially were contacted by the Accounts Manager who did most of the discussions and we were able to meet one of the CEO's shortly before signing up. We were then introduced to our project manager, a marketing/UX specialist, the developers and designers.

As this was quite a big project, there have been a lot of people to meet but we have always had good communication with our main point of contact; the project manager. We are always able to talk to the Accounts manager as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have had much positive feedback about the design of the app so far. As it is yet to launch we are unable to provide whether it has been a success yet but we are confident in our needs being met and the design and functionality seem to be exactly what we have asked for. We are excited to launch!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We have been kept updated regularly and good, clear communication has been a strong theme for this project. We have kept to the timeframes that were outlined from the start and we have been notified asap if something was going to take longer than agreed.

We have used a few different platforms; emails, WhatsApp, asana, etc to see the project in many ways and be contactable easily.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

From the start, we knew that Applify was aligned with our vision. They did their research and made sure that they fully understood what we were wanting to achieve, and they got passionate about it. They had extensive knowledge about what we wanted to build and would help guide us through this process.

They have also gone the "extra mile" with making us priority and supporting us as different situations evolved in the process.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They have been very helpful for the whole process, and now we head towards launching to the world very soon. The design for the app is what we asked for and we look to the fact that it works as good as it looks when we launch.

Describe the project in detail.

Our app includes this functionality: taking and sending a picture, create teams of friends and track teams, set parameters for each team that all team members see, receive pictures, retain a profile.

What was the team composition?

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app works great.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was awesome. They allowed us to use Asana to communicate with them, which provided very very clear timelines, different chats, and deliverables. This also allowed us to send quick messages whenever something came up, instead of waiting for a more formal call.

This was a huge benefit for us. Their team was always on time, or ahead of schedule, and the project manager always kept us informed and always responded to our feedback (no matter how small it was).

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Applify is a very very sound company. They make organization one of their first priorities, which I think does differentiate this company from others. The project manager had a very clear line of communication open with us, always, and their whole team seemed very much 'on the same page.

Their team was very very flexible with us too, allowing us to changes things very frequently, which I think is also very differentiating. I would absolutely recommend Applify to anyone looking for mobile app design and development.

Not particularly.
