I am the Founder and Chief of the Ravens Duet Company. We help fun loving people turn local neighborhoods into memorable scavenger hunt adventures in a global social competition. Our mobile app is a collaborative interactive scavenger hunt that brings users outside to safely explore the world around them.

For what projects/services did your company hire aTeamIndia?

When the pandemic hit all our social events had to shut down, and we had to expedite the mobile app project. Without expertise we looked to aTeamIndia to create this mobile app.

We needed them to create a mobile app for users as well as an admin app for our company. We also needed a landing page to provide a marketing window into our mobile app.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal was to get the Ravens Duet user app out in both ios and android stores. This was a brand new product so the specific goals changed during the process. ATeamIndia handled the small shifts in end product goals spectacularly.

How did you select aTeamIndia?

We conducted 12 initial interviews with companies that matched what we wanted in vision, communication, and experience. We narrowed the 2nd interviews down to 3 candidates that fit our expectations the best.

ATeamIndia stood out as the best among these three in 3 clear ways: transparency, confidence in team, and thorough understanding of project vision and ability to get it done. My confidence in aTeamIndia surpassed the others by far.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we officially began the process we submitted our mock-ups for review by aTeamIndia. We discussed project goals and clarified our vision. We then had a series of UX/UI design submissions from aTeamIndia that we tweeked and approved.

After all screens were approved we moved into building the app through an asana agile process. Towards the end of this process aTeamIndia created a spectacular landing page for our mobile app. Finally they worked through pushing the app into the ios app store and google play store.

What was the team composition?

We had a project manager throughout the process to communicate with. This person changed once in the process but we always had an open line of communication with aTeamIndia. We were made aware that their team had 2 front end, 2 back end, 1 UX/Ui design, and potentially more on the team to help with specific projects.

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

It is early in the launch of our product and our marketing is still working on getting our name/product out there. Our team satisfaction with final product is 100%. Will update on positive outcomes as they arrive later this year.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were given clear expectations on when things would be completed. There were a few delays in launch of our mobile app, but this is due to the world as it is today and ios app difficulties (That aTeamIndia handled well).

The workflow between my company and theirs was great. Communication was always there. Advice and feedback was well received in both directions.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their clear communication is above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Keeping us involved and doing the work and being open to our feedback at all times was exactly what we needed. They ensured a great product for us, that we were a part of, and we are grateful for that.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We will always want to get our product faster, but quality is more important than speed. ATeamIndia provided a quality product that we are truly grateful for.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of Hammer Gym. We are a local gym and a known brand in the fitness industry here in the Maldives.

What challenge were you trying to address with aTeamIndia?

We needed someone to create a mobile app for us.

What was the scope of their involvement?

In the Maldives, there are no local organizations that have a fitness app, so aTeamIndia proposed the idea to me, and I wanted to give it a try. The app is for both iOS and Android and it is already in the App Store and Play Store. It's about general fitness and nutrition.

We just launched the app with basic elements like a workout routine that users can create by themselves. There is an option where they can communicate with a trainer, as well as a nutrition part which is something the user has to do by themselves. 

We launched it to get some feedback so that we can improve in the future. We now have some feedback and we are working on the update which will have general options where the user can choose the workout they want from basic, intermediate or advanced options. 

Those three options will be in the update as well as diet plans for weight reduction, and some nutritional diet plans for weight gain. aTeamIndia is going to come up with an update by the end of next month.

What is the team composition?

I have been in contact with the project manager. I felt it would be best to just be in touch with one person who could then speak to his team.

How did you come to work with aTeamIndia?

They were handling IT things for several companies here. They found out about our gym and asked us if we were interested in working with them. I decided we might as well give it a try because there was no other fitness app in the Maldives.

How much have you invested in them?

We split the payment into two, and we paid $20,000 in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them around September 2019, and we’re are still working with them.

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

We launched the app in June 2020, and so far, there are 1,130 users that are currently using the app. It was very satisfying and was above my expectations.

Most of the feedback is good, and people have been suggesting more options that could be added. There is no negative feedback, and everyone is surprised and very excited because it is the first fitness app here. 

How did aTeamIndia perform from a project management standpoint?

We have been communicating through phone and email. They are very punctual and delivered the app sooner than expected in my case.

What did you find most impressive about them?

aTeamIndia did a very good job with the orders of the exercises. They were very well aware of the exercises. They did a fine job with the nutrition work as well. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I think they can improve the diet plan functionality. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

When they first approached me, I was a little scared that they wouldn’t be able to deliver something like this. Now that I have experienced it, I would suggest relying on them completely because they do deliver on time. You can trust their word.
