I'm the CEO of batteryPOP, a digital network for kids featuring a wide selection of video content and interactive features for the viewing audience.

We are launching a batteryPOP channel on Amazon's FireTV. aTeam Soft Solutions developed an HTML5 channel that we plan to run on both FireTV and with other leading content platforms.

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

We had worked with aTeam previously and appreciated their communication, responsiveness and attention to detail while keeping on budget.

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

Using our existing Roku channel as a template, aTeam worked in tandem with our CTO to develop the HTML5 version of the channel.

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

Along with a project leader and lead developer, I believe aTeam had around 8-9 people on the project at various stages.

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

Communication was excellent, as was willingness to accurately QC the project. We hope to roll out the channel to our partners in the next quarter.

We mainly used Skype to communicate. They were flexible with their schedule to accommodate us in the US.

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

aTeam responded quickly to questions, understood directions, and treated us like a partner.

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

There were some bugs we identified that perhaps they should have seen first, but we were moving at a quick pace and as mentioned above, they addressed the bugs as soon as they were found.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Jochi is a SAAS based EdTech platform focused on support students in Middle & High school. I am the founder and head of our company.

For what projects/services did your company hire aTeam Soft Solutions, and what were your goals?

We hired aTeam Soft Solutions to develop the beta version of our web & mobile platform. Our goals were to get a working product as fast as possible of the highest standards. After speaking with countless other development teams, I struggled to find a team who were as transparent and thorough as the aTeam team.

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

Within our first consultation meeting, the team demonstrated a strong work ethic, passion about their work, and a genuine desire to provide as much value as possible. There is no question that these guys are the best out there! I am delighted to have worked with ATeam. Their proposal was the most cost and time effective and it was clear that this would be a journey that included the Jochi team every step of the process.

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

After numerous meetings to understand our needs, they submitted a proposal detailing the methods of development, the team size, methods of communication, and a detailed timeline (sprints). What I found remarkable was the fact that payment was only due at the end of milestones. Before we moved on to a new sprint, together we would review advances and sign off whether we were happy. When there were times where refinement was needed, aTeam would work with me and would rapidly try to overcome challenges.

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

There was a general manager who would check in with me every few weeks on the overall process. A project manager who would speak with me on a day to day basis as well as share detailed daily updates/advances. The development team consisted of 8-10 developers and designers. aTeam shared there development chat with me so I could see what each developer was working on on a day-to-day basis and their progress.

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

We finally have our first working product that has already received a great response with prospective schools and partners. I credit a lot of our success to the developers and designers who ensured there were no bugs or flaws on the platform.

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

One of aTeam's biggest strengths are definitely their project management style. The communication was amazing! We spoke regularly through email, asana, and Skype. By the end of the project, it felt as though I developed personal relationships with the team.

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

The team's proactiveness and genuine interest in making the product the best it could be! During our first meeting, aTeam were already making suggestions on how I could refine the product which was amazing.

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

Nothing!

I'm working as a Senior HR Manager at a digital transformation platform.

For what projects/services did your company hire aTeam Soft Solutions, and what were your goals?

We have an extensive HR process. We used different platforms for management. But when the workload becomes huge we were force to create an in house all in one HR development tool kit. Hence we searched over the internet and contacted ATeam soft solutions for the development purpose.

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

We found this vendor through internet, then we made a background research on them to understand their credibility. We found them diligent and accountable. We also have couple of session with them which gave us a good feeling that they are technically sound.

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

The scope of the project is to combine various HR platforms together into a single portal using available API's from the respective platforms. We also needed to have a centralized database which can be used for Payroll, Employee management & benefits , attendance management, Salary management, Leave management and medical claim management.

The entire data was distributed over multiple platforms. Hence we need a 3NF database which accounts all relevant information in one place and this portal should act as single interface to pull all information instantly from various platforms without needing to log into multiple platforms.

The technologies we preferred where NodeJs in the backend and Angular13 in the frontend. The architecture must be elastic beanstalk from AWS.

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

There were 4 people in the team, two developers, one QA and one project manager.

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

They were able to deliver as per the expectations. I believe the initial story board building process really helped us to carve out all the grey areas. The sprints were successful and we were able to feel the application in the stage environment in the first sprint onwards.

This gave us more confidence to pursue the complex areas of the project. The sprints were tested when and demonstrated towards us before sign out.

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

The project management styles seems to be very unique . They uses Asana. They split the whole project into doable two weeks sprints with start date and end date. There is also QA section for each sprints in Asana.

All the bugs and issues seems to be reported by QA and assigned to devs through Asana platforms. We were able to see the project progress transparently through Asana platforms.

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

Their communication process is so open with daily plan, midway progress and status reports. Hence even if we are in tight schedules we were able to see all the open communication going on between the teammates on the project.

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

I feel they are good with their process which seems very unique from different companies i have ever worked with.

one of my friend recommended ATeam soft solutions. After hearing our requirement, they proposed a feasible model to build our app in our limited budget and given a proper timeline for all its further development. They recommend a proper platform for easy development of the app and are also involved in most brainstorming sessions to improve the app.

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

AS we requested our primary requirement was the MVP. The team has submitted the wireframe, UI, and all documentation before starting for better understanding and completed the MVP on the given time. we had many iterations for the product based on the reviews.

I am the CEO of an online marketing company

For what projects/services did your company hire aTeam Soft Solutions, and what were your goals?

We wanted to build an order management web application

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

We had nice conversations with the director of the company who really took some time to thoroughly understand our pain points and our proposed solutions.

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

We decided on features that need to be developed and deadlines. The frontend language was Angular.js and the backend language was Node.js.

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

1 frontend and 1 backend developer as well as 1 project manager

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

We had deadlines per feature and expected these to work when the deadline approached.

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

The team was quick to respond every time something was needed. We had regular Zoom meetings that were recorded. Unfortunately, despite of the recording, I couldn't see that the team reached a decent level of understanding of what was discussed.

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

They worked on our project for so long without admitting that they didn't understand the requirements.

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

The code quality is very bad. Within 5 months, the programmers and especially the project manager did not understand how the software was supposed ot be used. It would have been great if they asked more about things they didn't understand and only take projects that they know they can fulfill. Also, they charge for QA but leave bugs in the software that are impossible to miss. I would have appreciated not to be charged for services they do not provide.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner/founder of a company that connects politicians with voters.

For what projects/services did your company hire aTeam Soft Solutions, and what were your goals?

I hired aTeam Soft Solutions to build a website based on a few diagrams and some ideas that I had. The goal was to create an easy-to-use social website for voters to ask questions and election candidates to answer those questions.

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

I posted the job on Upwork, and after receiving dozens of offers and communicating with several teams, it became clear that aTeam was the most professional of all the options and had done the most impressive and similar work in the past.

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

We had several meetings in the beginning to nail down the vision and design of the site so that they could create UI mockups for me to approve. Then development began. The team decided on Vue JS and Laravel as the main technologies to be used. The plan was in the form of 3 individual month-long sprints with me checking in and reviewing after the completion of each sprint. The team was very transparent about their work and went out of their way to message a list of tasks each person was working on every day to keep me in the loop. I also had access to the code repository itself and they sent a link to their development site so I could play around and test parts of the site even as it was being built.

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

We had four aTeam employees working on the project. There was 1 project manager, 2 developers, and one employee working on quality assurance.

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

The site is newly completed and hasn't been fully launched yet, but early feedback indicates that the team did a great job developing the site from beginning to end and left zero parts of the site unfinished.

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

The team held a stand-up meeting every morning to make sure they were all on the same page. I would then receive a message from each team member specifying their tasks for the day. I also received emails that would summarize the work completed for the whole day each day and at the end of the week a summary of the week's work. The team left no doubt that they were working hard at all times.

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

There are two things I find most impressive. The first one is their ability to take an idea and a few conversations and instantly have a crystal-clear image of what you are thinking in terms of the vision for the project. I came to them with a few poor wire-frame designs and they ran with it and created something great. The second most impressive thing is their communication and transparency. Every step of development was clearly documented and communicated to me so I had no doubts about their work.

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

Development took a little longer than expected, but that is mostly because the requirements changed along the way. They stuck to their initial estimate and plugged away until the work was done.

Custom develop a software solution for Counting Inventory in Indoor Warehouses Using Autonomous Drones. The solution is aimed at improving inventory data integrity and operational safety, drone adoption by warehouses immediately improves KPIs such as cycle counting frequency, worker safety, on-time deliveries, inventory and fulfillment accuracy, slot utilisation, etc.

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

We have been working with ateamsoft as a development partner for over 4 years and considers them very transparent and trusted in the technical skills they possess

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

The digital transformation of warehouses – driven by safety, cost and time benefits – is underway across the world. Technologies such as IoT, AI and drones are augmenting the business value created by adoption of RFID, robots and real-time analytics. UAVs have started playing a central role in the intelligent automation of warehouse operations – given their ability to fly & hover autonomously, carry payloads, avoid obstacles, navigate indoors & land precisely, operate in fleets and be remotely used.

The proposed technology will play a central role in driving revenue, profit margin, and safety improvements for warehouses, across numerous use cases such as:

• Inventory search & reconciliation
• Cycle counting & audits
• Roof inspection
• Security & surveillance
• Worker safety & productivity
• Item marking & recognition
• 2D/3D space optimization
• Order picking optimization
• Empty & full slot detection
• Yard management
• Forklift guidance
• In-warehouse transport

Most of the above involve tasks that are laborious, tedious, risky, redundant, and expensive. They require shutdowns, slowdowns, and downtime that result in lost revenue, inaccurate inventory counts, and harm or loss of life.

I have worked with very many vendors and this is an area where I can say ATEAM totally stands apart from any other vendors I have worked with before. They have great designers, which is not always common. ATEAM is a young team with a clear vision and willingness to adapt to the client’s needs.

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

We're enjoying a partnership culture with them. We wanted to have a specific type of partner for our ongoing needs and ATEAM fits in perfect

I am a new startup who needed developers to get the product built and ready for delivery

For what projects/services did your company hire aTeam Soft Solutions, and what were your goals?

We utilised them to implement an end to end solution to build a SAAS platform hosted in AWS. I wanted a fully built product that is ready for release to be the first on the market.

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

I needed someone who could handle database design, web front end and back end as well as provide advice along the way for best UI/UX. I went and received quotes from 4 separate companies and the initial consultation and the price was the reason we chose to choose Ateam

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

I had already had initial designs drawn up(very rough) and I needed them to translate that into a viable product. The first step was to explain the product and all of the different components. This was conducted all online video conferencing. In the initial stages, we would meet a few times a week to establish the product expectations. Once it was at a development point the meeting would drop off to about once a week. When major releases were ready for testing I would be asked to review and provide feedback.

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

I worked with many different people from many other parts of the company. I primarily worked with the project manager who was my day to day contact. Then had additional people from his team join the conversations when relevant. I spoke with AWS specialists to build the cloud platform, A UI front end designer, a Database designer, elastic Beanstalk expert then a whole new team was brought in to configure the API integration

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

We have not launched yet, the launch will begin in the next few months. The product has been delivered successfully and I will maintain a working relationship with them for further updates after release.

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

There is a full-time product manager and a team dedicated to delivering the projects. One of the best benefits for me was that they work in the afternoon and into the night(time difference). So I could work full time and then work with aTeam after work.

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

We love their quality of work and ability to interpret my terrible drawings! I was so impressed when I got my first working version.

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

The results are pulled on a weekly basis to the staging web environment so I can see what and how everything has been done. Everything has worked out perfectly. 

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

Communication and organization are probably some of their biggest assets. Everything is laid out on Asana, divided into different milestones and tasks lists where I can drag and drop, connect directly with developers, etc. 

Also, we have a Skype group where we are in constant communication and where each developer and QA puts in 3 times a day the current status of their work with the specific tasks they are working on with the approximate % of completion. 

Finally at the end of the day project manager and I get an email with a daily summary sheet from each developer and QA with tasks completed.
