B2C InfoSolutions has designed, developed, and deployed the platform of a full-stack usability testing firm. The scope has included UX/UI design, web app development, Android and iOS app development, and QA.
B2C InfoSolutions has failed to deliver a functional iOS app, and the Android app and web application suffered from critical bugs and broken flows. The team is unresponsive, and project management is weak. QA coverage is minimal, and basic bugs are not caught before the handover.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We hired B2C InfoSolutions to design, develop, and deploy a full-stack usability testing platform called UserTest Pro. The scope included:
Designing the complete UI/UX for web, Android, and iOS platforms based on our product vision and wireframes
Building a fully responsive web application with user registration, test session setup, dashboard for insights, and admin panel
Developing Android and iOS applications with test-taking capability, video/audio recording, onboarding flow, and bug reporting
Integrating third-party services (e.g., analytics, payments, screen/audio capture SDKs)
Conducting quality assurance, functional testing, and bug fixes for all three platforms
Supporting final deployment of the apps to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store
The expected timeline was 6 months from May 2024. We were promised a dedicated team with a project manager, designer, QA tester, and developers for each platform.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Despite over a year of engagement, the measurable outcomes were far below expectations:
The iOS app is still incomplete and not functional for end users
The Android app and web application are live in parts but continue to suffer from critical bugs and broken flows
We experienced over 6 months of delays beyond the promised timeline, causing us to postpone our product launch multiple times
We had to send over 30+ correction documents, with no clarity on how many of those were actually implemented
There were multiple 2–3 week periods with no communication at all from the vendor’s side
QA coverage was minimal, and even basic bugs were not caught before handover
No major success metrics could be achieved due to these delays and quality issues. We could not meet any of our intended launch goals. The delivered product was incomplete and unreliable. iOS was never finished, and the web + Android builds are full of bugs. Core functionality like user testing, screen recording, and admin controls didn’t work as intended, even after months of revisions.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Project management was one of the weakest aspects of the entire engagement. The project manager had no real visibility or control over the developers, often seemed confused, and couldn’t provide clear answers when asked about timelines, task progress, or bug fixes. We had to repeat the same instructions multiple times, and even then, implementation was inconsistent or incomplete.
Deliverables were almost never completed on time. We experienced stretches of 2–3 weeks with no communication at all. The team would only resurface when we insisted or when they wanted to push for the next milestone payment. Bugs and critical issues were ignored or downplayed. Instead of solving problems proactively, they waited until we escalated repeatedly.
The CEO and Business Head were unresponsive most of the time. They would only show up during payment discussions, and even then, tried to pressure us to pay before deliverables were actually met. Their lack of ownership and accountability severely damaged the progress and trust in this project. We were promised a 6-month timeline. It’s been over a year, and we still don’t have a usable product. There were multiple periods of complete silence from their side lasting weeks. Project delays caused us to miss our startup launch window multiple times.
The cost may appear competitive upfront, but it’s wasted if the product is never delivered properly. We ended up spending significantly more in time, opportunity loss, and effort trying to manage their internal dysfunction. Definitely not worth it.
What was your primary form of communication with B2C InfoSolutions?
Virtual Meeting
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Honestly, nothing about the execution or delivery stood out as impressive or unique in a positive way. If anything, what stood out was how consistently disconnected the internal team was—we've never experienced such a wide gap between what was promised during onboarding and what was actually delivered.
If we had to mention one “unique” aspect, it would be their ability to pitch convincingly during the sales phase, especially the Business Head who made every effort to onboard us quickly. Unfortunately, that front-loaded attention never translated into meaningful delivery or follow-through. This was one of the most frustrating and unprofessional vendor experiences we’ve had. Poor communication, lack of skilled developers, frequent team changes, and no real accountability from leadership. Would not recommend B2C InfoSolutions to any serious company.
Are there any areas for improvement or something B2C InfoSolutions could have done differently?
There are multiple areas B2C InfoSolutions needs to improve drastically:
Project management: Assign a competent project manager who actually understands delivery timelines and can coordinate tasks across design, dev, and QA without confusion.
Team consistency: Stop switching developers every few weeks. The constant churn leads to poor handovers and repeated rework.
Communication: Maintain regular, transparent updates. We often went 2–3 weeks without any response from their side unless we escalated aggressively.
Quality assurance: Implement a real QA process. Bugs that should have been caught in basic checks kept making it into production builds.
Accountability: Do not ask for milestone payments before completing previous deliverables. Respect client timelines and commitments.
Leadership involvement: The CEO and senior management need to be involved in solving issues, not just during payment collection.
Had even 50% of these areas been handled better, the project might have launched on time. I would strongly advise against working with B2C InfoSolutions. Our experience involved continuous delays, poor communication, buggy deliverables, and zero accountability from leadership. After over a year, we still don’t have a completed product. If you’re a startup or any team working with fixed timelines, they will likely hurt more than help.
