AtomicSkills

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the project manager for a software company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with AtomicSkills?

Our company was based on the idea of remotely sending medicines by connecting pharmacies with customers through online portals. Our problem was developing the software to allow customers to connect with a nearby pharmacy where they can order medicine in case of an emergency. We were looking for a software company that could help us build this idea.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They first worked on the frontend designs of the different applications. After we approved them, we started working on the backend of the software. They provided a demo project that we tested. After that approval, the final phase of the product was to build the final application. They used Adobe XD for designing purposes. The backend was developed on our backend server using Laravel. MySQL database was used as well in the project.

What is the team composition?

We were in direct communication with the project manager. The team consisted of two designers, two frontend developers, and two backend developers.

How did you come to work with AtomicSkills?

They sent a proposal based on our idea and we accepted their proposal. What attracted us to them is that they keep everything documented and that it’s very informative. They openly gave us permission to interview their developers.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $6,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February until March 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They gave us the results we were expecting and it was spot-on.

How did AtomicSkills perform from a project management standpoint?

Deadlines were a bit delayed because we kept changing the requirements. Other than that, everything was perfect. We were kept in the loop throughout the whole process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their processes are strong. They’re very easy to understand.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could keep the complexity down, but that wasn’t much of a worry for us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make detailed requirements. Be clear on what you want and it will make things easier.
