   2. Social Media Feeds: The company incorporated social media feeds directly into the website, enhancing user engagement and keeping visitors updated with the latest social media posts.

The company's project management throughout the course of this project was exemplary. They demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and a commitment to meeting deadlines.

In summary, the company's project management was marked by on-time delivery, responsiveness to my needs, effective communication, and a willingness to adapt to changing circumstances. Their professionalism and commitment to delivering a successful project were evident throughout our collaboration, contributing significantly to the overall success of the website redesign project.

What was your primary form of communication with Biz4Group LLC?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What I found most impressive and unique about this company was their exceptional work speed and their dedication to providing multiple drafts for review throughout the design and trial phases of the website project. 

1. Work Speed: The company's ability to work swiftly was truly remarkable. They efficiently completed the project within the agreed-upon timeline, ensuring that I could launch the website as planned. Their commitment to timely delivery was a standout feature of their service. 
2. Iterative Design Process: The company's approach to the design phase was highly collaborative and customer-focused. They provided numerous drafts for my review, allowing me to actively participate in shaping the final product. This iterative process ensured that the website design aligned perfectly with my vision and requirements. 
3. Transparency: Their willingness to share multiple drafts during both the design and trial phases demonstrated a commitment to transparency and client satisfaction. This unique approach allowed for real-time feedback and adjustments, resulting in a website that met and exceeded my expectations. 

In summary, the company's impressive work speed and their dedication to providing multiple design drafts for review during the project made them stand out. Their commitment to transparency and client involvement throughout the process contributed significantly to the project's overall success. It was a pleasure working with a company that combined speed and quality in such a unique and effective manner.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Biz4Group LLC could have done differently?

In reflecting on my experience with Biz4Group LLC for the social media review of our project, there are a few areas where improvements could have been made or things could have been handled differently: 

1. Clarity in Payment Structure: One area that stood out was the need for greater clarity regarding the payment structure, particularly for design slides and additional design features. While it's understandable that a comprehensive estimate may only be possible once the full scope of work is known, offering estimated costs for individual components as they are discussed could have helped manage expectations and financial planning. 
2. Enhanced Process Explanation: The overall project process could have been explained more comprehensively to provide a clearer understanding of the various phases, milestones, and how payments are structured. This would have helped reduce any uncertainties and ensure all parties are on the same page from the outset. 
3. Time Zone Considerations: While the time difference between Florida and the team in India presented both advantages and disadvantages, it would have been beneficial to inform clients of this in advance. Offering flexible meeting options to accommodate the time difference could enhance the client experience. 

Despite these areas for improvement, I am appreciative of Biz4Group LLC's willingness to work with me on a payment plan and their ability to produce initial work as a demonstration of their capabilities. 

Despite initial skepticism about their offshore team in India, they proved to be a pleasant and professional team to collaborate with. The language barrier did not significantly impact our interactions, and their overnight work hours, while influenced by the time difference, offered the advantage of a faster turnaround for feedback and revisions. 

In summary, while there are some areas where improvements in communication and transparency could have been made, the overall experience with Biz4Group LLC was positive, and I appreciate their flexibility and commitment to delivering quality work. These suggestions for improvement can serve as opportunities for the company to enhance its client interactions and project management processes.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a co-founder of ShiftFit, a subsidiary technology company of IES LLC. IES LLC is a staffing firm founded in 1998. We provide staffing and recruiting services to light industrial clients in Idaho and Utah.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Biz4Group LLC, and what were your goals?

I started a conversation with Biz4Group because we needed a team of designers to build a body of project files for proprietary software that would give IES clients the ability to publish their own open positions to our pool of curated applicants.

Additionally, we wanted staffing firm clients to be able to fill and manage their own requisitions with in-app tools such as a form builder, SMS texting, geo-fenced time keeping, dynamic scheduling, and other very industry-specific features.

SOLUTION

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

My team and I interviewed several providers via video conference calls. Each call consisted of an in-depth overview of the scope of the project, and our end business vision.

Ultimately, we decided to award the project to Biz4Group because of their level of transparency regarding cost, project progression, and high degree of communicative competency with regard to the subject matter up front.

The personnel who appeared in our interview really embodied the characteristics mentioned above.

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

Initially, we participated in three discovery calls with various members of Biz4Groups, design, engineering, and account management team. This made us feel very confident that Biz4Group understood the global vision for the project.

Soon after, a senior member of their team actually flew out to one of our office locations to observe our traditional operations for a day to ensure they understood our business model before design took place. The next phase was design and project guidance file creation.

Biz4Group's design team did an absolutely fantastic job designing over 250 screens for all 3 of our platforms. The designs they produced achieve a simplistic and intuitive user interface, all the while keeping with the complexity required to facilitate an employee/employer relationship.

This is not easy, there are so many things a staffing firm needs to account for when automating job acquisition and management for its clients. My team and I were very impressed with this first stage of the process. Software development and engineering has comprised the most in-depth section of our venture.

Biz4Group is responsible for building a multiplatform, gig-economy software solution that allows staffing firms to give their clients abbreviated access to their ATS so they may fill their own requisitions semi-autonomously. Specifically, we tasked Biz4Group with creating such a platform with the following features:

1. Form builder
2. Dynamic scheduling calendar
3. In-app mass-texting solution
4. In-app chat
5. In-app email functionality
6. Employer/employee review platform.
7. Geo-fenced timekeeping
8. Middle management account permission editing capabilities
9. Online job-board
10. Programable push notification settings based on specific features.

At this time, 70% of these product features have been either completed and delivered to their full realization, or completed on a foundational level. The completion of these features had been very timely.

The project has progressed as planned and I have full confidence that the remaining 30% of the project will be completed by the conclusion of Q3 2022 initially expected.

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

My primary communication has been with three key stakeholders of Biz4Group.

• Sanjeev Verma: President of Biz4Group
• Satyendra Soni: Senior Technology Lead
• Mansi Tiwari: Account Manager

Aside from these three, very professional, timely members of their organization, anytime I need members of their engineering team to join on calls with integration partners, they make themselves available.

As we move closer to the completion of the project, I have easy access to their marketing personnel as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have begun internal testing of key foundational features of the app within internal departments of our company such as the geo-fenced time-keeping system, in-app chat, and job board.

These tangible deliverables have injected a new sense of optimism within our organization during a relatively challenging time in the marketplace.

These deliverables have also given our sales team new talking points with potential and future clients. Their work serves as a representation of hope for future innovative growth.

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

They have provided us with numerous avenues to communicate with them. Each week we have a reoccurring video conference call in which they demo the latest progress.

This also gives me the opportunity to give them feedback on recently completed items. Their senior manager is always just a phone call away.

Additionally, the development team always responds to any text communications within minutes during regular business hours and most times, even outside of business hours.

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

We decided to award the actual coding and app development phase of our venture to Biz4Group. At this time, a senior member of Biz4Group actually flew out to our Salt Lake City area office to get to know our traditional business model firsthand.

At this point, we are just a few months away from launching our software and thus, launching our new subsidiary, ShiftFit. The team I've been working with throughout the build of our platform are absolute subject matter experts.

I am completely confident in their ability to translate the complexities of our staffing business and our vision for automating the transactions of human capital that serve as the foundation of our organization to tangible, technical solutions.

Each new major build release feels like they are using magic to make what we imagined a technical reality. Their work has literally changed the trajectory of my career and the careers of everyone at my company.

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

Not really, I am truly 100% satisfied with my experience thus far.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Boat Butler App LLC, a marine equipment management company. We have an app that keeps track of maintenance schedules for the equipment.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Biz4Group LLC?

A friend gave me the idea to build an app, and I did a lot of research. I saw that AWS was a good place to host applications, and I decided to use JavaScript. Although I had the basics of what I wanted the app to do, I got to the point where I couldn’t even figure out how to make a login process. After trying to write the software myself and running into wall after wall, I decided to hire a partner to build our mobile app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, Biz4Group suggested we make a dummy app. We fine-tuned this dummy throughout several months, where we made changes and shot out ideas, collaborating every Thursday. After that first phase, when we were satisfied with the dummy, the team moved into development. They built the app for iOS and Android. I requested some last-minute changes and was involved with testing the app. 

The app’s primary feature is documentation, timing, and scheduling. Users can input all their information, including data on the motor and when they bought it. Every week, the app asks users to update the total hours on the engine. That way, users know when they hit certain hour marks, and the app prompts them to change the oil, do a water pump, etc. Essentially, the app keeps up with what users need to do and when. 

Once users complete tasks, they can upload any relevant receipts, which serves as record-keeping. Users can upload their boat’s manuals, giving them a centralized location for their information to have available online. Since the app is for boat maintenance, the schedules are based on days and hours; tasks must be done after X amount of days or X hours of use.

The Biz4Group team also added secondary features, including a community forum where boat owners can put up questions and others respond, creating a community atmosphere of people trying to help people. Users can also show off their boats on the app, and there’s a business section where we’ll build a database of known marine shops, dealers, etc. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with the CEO and the development team.

How did you come to work with Biz4Group LLC?

I found them on Upwork; Biz4Group was one of the providers that responded to my request for assistance. They had clearly read the description of what I wanted to do because they replied by saying they had done a similar app for semi-trucks. Over 10 companies responded, saying the app should be web-based using HTML, which didn’t work for what I was trying to do. Meanwhile, Biz4Group suggested using AWS and JavaScript, matching my research exactly. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $30,000–$35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from June 2021–June 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We measured Biz4Group’s success based on week-by-week progress; every Thursday, we would have an hour-long meeting where their development team showed me what they’d done and what they were doing next. After that, they would send me that week’s bill with a breakdown listing all their tasks. For us, any progress was good progress. I fully understood that writing code takes time, and some things that seem simple aren’t.

How did Biz4Group LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They were excellent at project management. The team was very good at communicating through Whatsapp. They also set very realistic timelines and goals and usually delivered work on time. When we needed changes made, they would let me know how many additional days it would take. The only issue we had with time wasn’t their fault but Apple’s.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Biz4Group’s high levels of communication set them apart — they communicated all the time. I had the cell phone number of the project’s lead, who was actually the CEO, and I didn’t even know it; I just thought he was an account person dealing with the bills!

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would have been cool to have a progress tool to see the work visually. However, not having that didn’t really matter.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to have a very clear idea of what you want and your end goal. The more specific you can be, the easier the project will be.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the family office director of Worth Advisors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Biz4Group LLC?

We were looking for solutions to create custom presentations for clients.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started the custom software development project by discussing the scope of work and outlining the deliverables. We then finalized our needs for the financial planning and client data management software and proceeded with the development phase.

Other than that, they’ve proposed a few different marketing solutions, but we’re currently not at the point to take advantage of them yet.

What is the team composition?

I work directly with Sanjeev (Founder & CEO), Mansi (Business Analyst & Project Manager), and Satyendra (Senior Delivery Manager).

How did you come to work with Biz4Group LLC?

We came across Biz4Group through Upwork.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $170,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in October 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We did a large presentation to showcase the capabilities of the software to our internal staff and everybody was positively blown away. What we’re creating hasn’t been done before, and we truly believe it'll be a world-class solution that will create new opportunities.

How did Biz4Group LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They perform very well from a project management standpoint, as they consistently keep track of the progress of the process.

We typically communicate with the team through email and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We like that the team has a US presence despite being based in India, as it makes the partnership more comfortable for me to make sure we’re creating something that truly doesn’t exist.

We’re also impressed with the team’s significant experience working with Fortune 500 companies.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nothing really stands out in terms of what they need to improve because we’ve been really happy with the engagement — their consistent approach to communication has also been a positive factor in keeping the development on track.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would advise you to be clear with what you’re looking for and keep consistent communication with their team.

It was very enriching experience for us since we created the mobile app first time. There were glitches but very few and they fixed it rather very quickly. Everybody loved the product.

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

We really liked the way Biz4Group handled the entire project. From the beginning, We were assigned a team of expert developers led by a project manager who executed the entire project until final delivery. The design work was very creative. We received daily updates related to source code and project progress, which helped us in planning other processes.

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

They went out of the way and proved themselves as our trusted partners. They always suggested new ideas.

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

We had just wonderful experience and we still are working with them for next phases of project since it’s already successful.

For what projects/services did your company hire Biz4Group LLC?

We hired Biz4Group to develop a custom app and website.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to quickly produce a disruptive technology and deploy in several locations across North America.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I held several rounds of interviews with numerous vendors. After speaking with Sanjeev & his teams a few times it was very apparent that they were very invested in me as a client. They listened to my questions carefully and took time to think before giving answers. Rather than treating my interviews as an opportunity for them to pitch their skillset, they acted like a partner and provided great advice and a well thought out plan for how to bring my idea into reality.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We worked together on developing a custom, complex back-end technology along with a beautiful customer facing website. The team at Biz4Group were amazing at guiding me (a non-technical lawyer) through my design choices and how to simplify complex aspects of the app. As well as doing all the heavy lifting in terms of development work, the suggestions from the Biz4group team had a lot of positive impact on the consumer experience while using the technology.

What was the team composition?

The team was roughly 4-5 people. Priyanka & her developers were the stars of the show but the expert guidance and calm hand of Sanjeev played a crucial role too when the project was entering critical stages.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

I owe all of my success to the team at Biz4Group. Their design choices gave my website a conversion rate of 11% on average and when I mistakenly took advice from elsewhere to change aspects of the front end, the conversion rate plummeted.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Priyanka managed the project from start to finish and was incredible at her job. She never missed a deadline and brought a steady hand to calm me down when the inevitable stress of an important project sets in.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They never missed a single deadline and consistently demonstrated a willingness to go above and beyond their regular working hours in order to ensure that everything ran smoothely. Communication from the team was also great, I always knew exactly what was going on with the project and when the team has questions these were communicated in non-technical language that even I could understand!

Are there any areas for improvement?

Not that I can think of, I really am absolutely delighted with the work the Biz4group team did for me and my business!

We needed a small company to help us create a smart IoT solution. We wanted a scalable application that we could implement into our company’s internal operations.

How did Biz4Group perform from a project management standpoint?

Although we were located in different areas, Biz4Group was always available to talk over the phone, hold a web conference, or communicate through Zoom. We met in person on several occasions to discuss any specific requirements that needed additional clarification. Overall, it was a seamless process. We tracked their service and deliverables through our own project management tool and there were no delays.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The Biz4Group team was very technically skilled and showed a high level of enthusiasm in their work. With their experience in the IoT field, they were able to recommend several good ideas that we included in the application. It’s clear that they know what they’re doing.

Are there any areas they could improve?
