An orthodontics tech company was looking to build a web-based 3D printing software system, so they engaged with Arbisoft for their custom software and web development services.
The client cites Arbisoft's cost-efficient approach as one of the main catalysts for their continued success, with internal stakeholders being particularly impressed with the team's personal approach to project scoping. They never fail to deliver on time and on budget.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO and engineer of Braces On Demand. We’re a tech company in the orthodontics space and we focus on 3D printing orthodontic appliances.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Arbisoft?
We needed someone to build our web app and provide us with custom software development.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We first engaged Arbisoft to connect our native app with our third-party 3D printing software system. They wrote all the codes and did the backend to allow us to deliver our 3D printing files remotely. They achieved that relatively quickly and once that was done, we branched out with them to create the basic architecture to build our web-based app and its UI.
We’re still working with them in sprints where we’ll come up with a new feature for the app, and they’ll go through a series of content creation, approvals, testing, and validation before moving onto the next sprint.
What is the team composition?
Our main point of contact is Haniya (Sr. Software Engineer) and we typically work with about 3–4 people at any given time.
How did you come to work with Arbisoft?
Arbisoft was actually recommended by one of our co-founders. We met with their CEO, who was a Stanford graduate, and we were just really impressed with their capabilities. At the time, we were still in the exploratory phase of our business, so I felt very confident hiring them to help us set the scope of what we were trying to accomplish.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, we’ve invested somewhere between $25,000–$50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The ongoing partnership started in October 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Arbisoft always delivers on time and they completely tailor the resources to the budget that we have. Their company is incredibly friendly for startups, as they provide the ability to get the most out of their programming assets.
Additionally, they’ve never missed any tasks since the start of the project. As far as hitting deliverables and creating functioning codes for the ambiguous scope of work, I couldn’t possibly praise them any higher — we’ve gone from having an idea to having a fully functioning software system and website.
How did Arbisoft perform from a project management standpoint?
We typically communicate through email when I have multiple points to make and I need to be as detailed as possible. Other than that, we use JIRA to manage our project. Moreover, we’ll have weekly calls to catch up and review certain aspects of the process.
What did you find most impressive about them?
What distinguishes Arbisoft is their ability to assist you in setting the scope of the work. I don’t know much about computer programming, so they brought their expertise to help us figure out what was needed — they have a wealth of knowledge that they share to make our business more successful.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I’ve seen what we’ve done and how far we’ve come, but I wish we could have quarterly meetings with them, to recap where we were in our previous quarter. I think having a forced mechanism of review would be helpful for our progress.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I would definitely say that it’s worth spending the time to dial in on the scope of work, even if it’s ambiguous. Therefore, I’d suggest having more meetings upfront to set the foundations of what your project is going to be.
I think the biggest mistake that people could make is skipping the time in setting up their scope and then changing it halfway through — so relying on Arbisoft’s expertise would make the process worthwhile. Their help made such a big difference for us, because they got the right people to lead the project, and the right resources at the right time — they made sure that we were successful.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the VP of engineering for Lola.com, a travel and spend management company for businesses.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Arbisoft, and what were your goals?
Arbisoft was hired to develop and maintain a number of backend data ingestion processes, services to augment functionality on our site, as well as embed with our teams to provide an increase in team throughput.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Several executives at Lola have previous successful experiences with Lola.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Built and maintained a data ingestion processes that pulled information from multiple travel providers and combined it into a single local data set. Tech: Python, ElasticSearch, Postgres * Built new services in our Lola services platform to integrate with third parties that provided augmented data on various spend related activities for customers. Tech: Python * Server as scrum team members on multiple teams. Tech: React, Python, Kubernetes
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
At any given time there were between 4-7 people on the team
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We were able to build and launch a completely new product line quickly in large part because of the efforts of the Arbisoft team. They helped expertly maintain and improve our existing product allowing us to put more of our resources into the new product. Arbisoft also built a service for this new product line that dramatically improved the flows for one of the primary use cases.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
I worked primarily with their project manager who used a similar toolset as us. Much documentation was done in Google docs. Wherever possible we integrated the team with our toolset for communication and project management (Slack, Jira, Confluence, etc)
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The ability to get up to speed on poorly documented parts of our codebase was impressive. They were able to take often loosely defined tasks and quickly come up with a solution, asking the right question of us to provide clarity.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
It took us a little while to find a groove that worked really well. We found that the more me just treated them like other members of the team and embedded, the more success we had.

Arbisoft is currently developing the mobile app version of an employment-oriented web platform. Working in React Native, their two development teams have adhered to provided specs while offering suggestions.
While the project is still underway, Arbisoft has made stellar progress with the client’s first mobile app. Their collaborative team has familiarized the client’s internal team with React Native, and they’ve provided excellent suggestions for functionality and design improvements.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a senior product manager at JobCase, an internet tech platform that matches employers with job seekers. Our demographic tends to more blue-collar-oriented.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Arbisoft?
As a social media platform that’s similar to LinkedIn, it’s very difficult to succeed in the space without a mobile app. While we were traditionally a web app, we were looking to break into the mobile arena. We didn’t have the inhouse resources for mobile app development, so we engaged Arbisoft.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Our own designers developed wireframes and comprehensive mock-ups for the mobile app. The Arbisoft team took these specs and design guidelines and launched into development utilizing React Native. Their main scope of work has been translating the features that already exist on our web application to this new mobile platform.
Having said that, they’ve also provided feedback and suggestions for improvement for both design and functionality.
What is the team composition?
While I oversee most of the project management, we have a project manager on their side, and we have two engineering teams. I believe that it’s around 13–14 people in total.
How did you come to work with Arbisoft?
We were introduced through a few of our coworkers. They’d worked with Arbisoft at previous jobs. They seemed like the best fit for us because they had extensive experience in React Native and had done so many mobile applications. The references we received were also very strong.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our partnership began in December 2019, and the project is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
While I can only provide anecdotal feedback, the impact of their work has been significant. We’re close to completing our first mobile application, which we didn’t really have a strategy for in the past.
They’ve delivered feedback on certain features that already exist and have made thoughtful suggestions for improvement that we’ve already begun to implement. We’re grateful for the fresh perspective they provide.
Additionally, thanks to Arbisoft’s collaborative nature, some of our in-house developers are also picking up React Native. The educational outcome of our partnership has been excellent.
How did Arbisoft perform from a project management standpoint?
I think they’re very good on this front. As a product manager, I handle a large scope of specs and cannot always validate the entirety of their work Despite that, they excel at navigating some uncertainty and raising questions early.
For example, they won’t wait to get to a specific ticket or feature before asking us a question about it. They’re always looking at the larger picture and will bring up concerns a week or two in advance. I’ve always appreciated that.
We use Jira for project management, hold daily standups, and communicate on Slack.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their teams really know what they’re doing. They’re very, very good at what they do.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, not really. I don’t think I can think of anything that they could do differently.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
We came in with a clear vision of what we wanted, along with designs and specs. Arbisoft has performed very well under that scenario, given a clear direction and fleshed-out requirements. I’d suggest that you provide a pretty clear idea of expectations and requirements, because they’re clearly able to execute on them.
