BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are launching a new model of modern fitness clubs operating in the 24/7 model offering services based on a specific training goal. Each client is treated individually.

The club provides consultations with a dietitian, physiotherapist and personal trainers. Exercises are carried out using the latest generation equipment from one of the top brands. I am the president of the Board of I-GYM

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire appwise?

To achieve our goals it is necessary to create a system that works in both the web application and the mobile application. The system is to be coupled to the club's building automation, parking system, to provide access control using biometrics. The system is to control the limits of people in individual time slots including consultations, physical exercises, and use of the SPA zone.

The system is to be equipped with a coupling with a whole-body circumference training system, enabling clients and trainers to control the quality and progress of their exercises. The system should support many online payment options. The system should support many clubs operating in a distributed network. It should be scalable and efficient, providing HA.

What were your goals for this project?

The basic goal is to launch the functionality of the booking system in the mobile and web version, including access control and flexible payment for services. The system should control the occupation of time slots by preventing too many exercising at the same time and providing them with comfort in using the club.

Further goals focus on increasing the ergonomics and functionality of the system based on feedback from interferences.

I knew the vendor owner before. We had the opportunity to cooperate in implementing IT projects. Based on previous experience, I was sure that my order would be carried out with the utmost care and professionalism.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The project is implemented in an agile model. A design team was established consisting of specialists with knowledge and experience in project management, architecture design, backend and frontend layers, QA.

The team consisted of several people ensuring efficient implementation of tasks. We can indicate the following roles in the team: PM, mobile frontend dev, web frontend dev, systems architect, backend dev, QA, DevOps. All team members took part in all sprint summaries presenting their project areas.

The team was always well prepared to present the delivered part of the solution. We received many great suggestions and tips regarding the construction of individual functionalities and system ergonomics. The team's extensive experience and commitment deserve recognition.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

375/5000 The solution was developed exactly at the time sanctions were introduced in relation to COVID-19. It turns out that the model invented in I-GYM paradoxically meets the requirements for access control and limiting the number of people in a specific space. Our software is necessary to meet the legal requirements and expectations of our clients.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

All project meetings were organized with the help of group meeting organization tools. In addition, we used email and telephone communication. Error handling is organized in a dedicated technical platform. All stages of the development process, including analysis, design, implementation, testing, release and stabilization, run smoothly and without complications.

Great organization, professional approach including care for product quality (e.g. production of unit tests). It should also be emphasized that the team can listen to the voice of the customer, is very involved and always meets the agreed deadlines.

Working with the AppWise team is great, I recommend it to everyone.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I can't find them yet, they are a really strong team.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The solution that we develop as a Trans Group is a Road Transport Platform, which supports key logistics processes for road transportation. My position is Project Management Team Leader which covers the roles of Release Train Engineer (a SAFe role) and Project Portfolio Coordinator.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire appwise?

We needed additional resources to deliver one of our new products - Dock Scheduling and to integrate it with our Road Transport Platform.

What were your goals for this project?

It was development of new solution from scratch which may work both as an autonomic product or a module of our Road Transport Platform. Dock Scheduling is a web based application for warehouses and logistic centres dedicated to enhancing process of delivering and collecting time slots management.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We send the inquiry to our current suppliers as well as to companies outside our IT ecosystem. Appwise provided us we the most detailed, comprehensive and professional offer.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

In first row Appwise has delivered the first stage of the project in fixed scope/fixed price model basing on our requirements. They were responsible for architecture, design, development and maintenance of the solution.

After the first stage, mostly because of the agile character of our product management, we change the model for delivering and agile team (Scrum Master, Front-end developers and Back-end developers) for development of our new product.

The key feature of the Dock Scheduling dedicated for shippers and carriers are as follow:

• CRUD of warehouses and ramps/stations
• defining and managing of ramps'/stations' operating callender's
• time slots defining and management (editing, blocking, suspending, etc.)
• working calendars for warehouse operators
• notification system

What was the team composition?

Appwise full-stack development team (Scrum Master and 2-4 developers depending of project stage) was dedicated to work with Trans Group Product Owner and Business Analyst.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I can't share any business metrics but I think that the best demonstration is a statement that we have another solution in our portfolio which we can either sell as a independent product or as a valuable part of our platform.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

I think the the best demonstration of how we value our collaboration with Appwise team is the fact the we trusted them much enough to switch from fixed price contracting to the agile model. Then, we contracted two more teams. In our environment, this is the highest mark of trust ;]

The team was transparent and had "yes we can" attitude since the very beginning of the project. The whole team rapidly incorporated our processes (including refinements, design, requirements decomposition, estimating, planning, reporting, monitoring and controlling) and tools (Jira, Asana, Google Suite, Slack, Workplace, GitHub).

There were no technical, culture nor process obstacles in our collaboration.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Openness and transparency along with development skills.

Are there any areas for improvement?

If there are some areas of improvement they had some blockers on our side. For example the full agile team collocation would surely enhance a development but we don't have any addition space in our location.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of InTheSky Agency. We’re a branding company that focuses on middle-range clients from various industries. We’re located in both Poland and Brussels, Belgium.  

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with appwise?

We were seeking an outsourcing partner for web development support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’ve been my solution for programming the websites that we design for our clients; so far, we’ve worked on 5–6 projects together. They’ve custom-coded websites for us, primarily using WordPress. These were fairly standard projects, where they delivered the sites’ frontend development.

What is the team composition?

We’re in contact with a project manager who serves as the mediator between us and the programmers. We know that there are about 15 people on board with us, and the two company owners manage the team.

How did you come to work with appwise?

We knew each other because we happen to be located in the same building. We’re neighbors, and we’d also had good past experiences with one of the owners. Their company is rapidly growing, and I wanted to utilize their services.

How much have you invested in them?

So far, we’ve spent between $10,000–$15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in January 2019, and the work is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their work has been excellent so far.  Unlike other programmers we’ve hired in the past, appwise implements our web designs perfectly. Our intricate graphic design projects are always executed exactly how we plan them.

Since we’re very meticulous in our design approach, it’s important that our development partner can really actualize the designs that we provide. In addition, the websites they’ve delivered have been largely bug-free and stable.  

How did appwise perform from a project management standpoint?

All of our projects were delivered on time, and we’ve never had any issues with timelines or communication. While email was enough for our standard projects, since we’re in the same building, we frequently had meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their precision in implementing our exact designs is outstanding. I was also surprised by how quickly they’re able to develop. They’re very fast, and with them, it’s possible to have websites live in as quick as 7–10 days. With other companies, it took us at least a month.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for them to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re a young team, and they seem to just “get it” when it comes to branding and design. You can trust them.
