BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a educational healthcare company. We specialize in surgical technology and surgical assisting education.

For what projects/services did your company hire BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd., and what were your goals?

The goal was to create an app that could track clinical experience of students and practitioners and to provide an educational platform to support those experiences.

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

I searched online through Upwork and interviewed several contractors for this project. After meeting with the administrative team and viewing their portfolio, I was sure that I wanted them on my project.

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

We had an initial meeting to discuss the goals of the project. I was assigned a team who I meet with 2 to 3 times a week. During the process we used a Trello board and G Suite to identify and communicate about the tasks at hand.

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

1 full stack project manager and 1 Web/ Mobile developer were continually working on the project. We also had a UX developer working in the background as well.

The project was completed according to the requirements in a timely manner and as expected.

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

The team was very vocal, communicating daily. We were always able to communicate via Google Chat and Google Meet.

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

Working the medical field, web development is a completely different world. The project manager was very effective in explaining concepts and processes that were completely foreign to me. Although it was far from simple, I felt at ease throughout the project.

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

Honestly I find it really difficult to think of something that they can improve on. Communication is the biggest thing, especially when you're like myself, working on a project that is completely out of your comfort zone. There was never a time that I felt that there was a problem that could not be fixed due to the constant communication that we had. With that being said, the issues that I faced was mostly with minor grammatical errors. A quick fix, so it wasn't really a big deal.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the healthcare system engineer of a healthcare software company.

What challenge were you trying to address with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd.?

BMV was great at helping us with a few software development issues.

What was the scope of their involvement?

BMV provided us with software development using Microsoft Visual Studio. They worked on our platform to make it more efficient to use.

What is the team composition?

We worked with three people from BMV. Our main contact helped us resolve our issues. He was very responsive on many occasions and was willing to meet on short notice. 

Sometimes, we needed to accomplish things on short notice and would get sidetracked. Our contact would shift priorities and direct himself toward the task at hand to complete those items for us. 

We also had a project manager who oversaw everything and made sure that everything was going smoothly.

How did you come to work with BMV System Integration?

We found them on Upwork — we put a posting for our project, and they responded. Then, we reviewed their credentials and decided that they seemed like a good candidate.

How much have you invested with them?

I don’t really handle the financial side, but I believe it’s less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with BMV from January 2019 up until November of the same year. With the whole COVID-19 issue, we had to make sure that we were directing our funding properly, so we took a little break. We’ll most likely hire them again for some work once everything settles down.

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

BMV improved our software and made it better and efficient for us. They helped us streamline certain things such as being able to access certain menus.

How did BMV System Integration perform from a project management standpoint?

The communication was great. We had a meeting at least once a week just to get by anything that needed to be discussed. 

My main point of contact gave me updates every other day, if not daily. He updated us on what he was working on and any issues that came about. If they had a holiday or a vacation where he would not be available, he would give notice to let us know that he’d be out for a while and would be back on a specific date.

What did you find most impressive about them?

BMV’s team was very knowledgeable and had a great work ethic. We truly appreciate their professionalism, determination, and patience that they exhibited during the course of this project. They were also very responsive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing that I would say they need to improve on. As I’ve said, one of the key things was communication, which they were great at. They also delivered in a timely manner. Those were the things that we were looking for.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Usually, BMV is pretty straightforward, so just tell them exactly what you’re looking for. They’ll tell you if they have someone on the team who can help. Also, just keep your communication lines open because they’ll send daily notifications of what they’re working on.

I find them great to work with, and I would work with them again as soon as I have the opportunity. I would also recommend my main guy’s skill set.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of operations. We’re a consulting agency that does information-based products and SaaS solutions.

What challenge were you trying to address with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd.?

We wanted to find someone who could offer an effective solution. It needed to be cost-effective and with good reliability and communication. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

BMV System Integration has built several platforms for us. In one case, they took over a project where another company left off and debugged the system on the backend. For the same price, they offered much better service. 

I can’t speak to the backend, but for the frontend, they improved the workflow and made suggestions. We're at a point in our relationship where we can tell them what we need and they run with it. We’ve also used them for miscellaneous, non-essential things like web design for reoccurring websites. We’ll have a problem every once in a while, but they address it really quickly.

For one of the systems, BMV System Integration created modules that we can take and integrate into other systems so we didn’t have to redevelop them. Sometimes we take out those modules and notice an issue. BMV System Integration will go back and fix it on each system level at each level. 

In our latest project, we’re developing a system from scratch with BMV System Integration. Before, everything they developed for us already existed; they retooled, enhanced, and fixed it.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with half a dozen people over the last few years. 

How did you come to work with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd.?

We weren’t happy with our previous vendors. While soliciting new developers, we found BMV System Integration on Upwork. What we really liked about them was that they had a good price point and prompt communication. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spend $100,000 per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

The partnership started in March 2016 and is ongoing. We have no plans of going away from them. 

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

I’m personally pleased and satisfied with BMV System Integration, and so long as I’m happy, my partners are happy. For some of the SaaS products they’ve modified and developed for us, we use them internally, and they unquestionably have helped us make us money and expedite our processes and procedures.

How did BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve stuck with them because of the ease of communication. We’re at the point where we talk every day and can keep in touch via email. They give great feedback when necessary. I can ask them for an itemized update at any time, and at the end of the month, we get an itemized workflow of each developer’s work on our project. We have a good relationship built on trust.

We don’t really have hard deadlines in our line of work. But sometimes, we have something stop working immediately, and when we contact them, someone responds right away and takes care of it. I also will occasionally give them prioritized tasks, and they’ll do it. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, to be really honest, I’m 100% happy and satisfied with them. I’d love to transition all of our SaaS development projects to BMV System Integration.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the project manager of Object Expression, an IT company.

What challenge were you trying to address with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd.?

I was looking for a vendor that could help support our company with web app development.

What was the scope of their involvement?

BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd. focused only on the coding aspect of the project, rather than the design. They were responsible for developing our web app in full, which displays our company’s main product offering.

How did you come to work with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd.?

We searched for a provider who could offer a reasonable combination of skillset and cost, and BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd. fit those criteria.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $10,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement took place from October 2019-January 2020.

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

We’re pleased with their services, and they were supportive and responsive along the way. Also, they’re a bit lower priced than the average service provider.

How did BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

There haven’t been any issues with project management. I’m happy with the timelines. BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd is organized quite well. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

At some points, we felt they could’ve solved our problems faster. Sometimes, their skillsets aren’t solid enough for certain tasks.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder and CEO of a cryptocurrency company.

What challenge were you trying to address with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd?

I needed a development team that I could trust because we have very complex software. They took over a project that was mid-way because it was too much for the in-house team to take on after our main stakeholder left.

What was the scope of their involvement?

BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd did all of our front- and backend development, including UX/UI and cron jobs. Additionally, they built all of the smart contracts we required. Our team handled the specifications, but then it was handed to BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd for execution.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with 3–4 people.

How did you come to work with BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd?

Since our development role was challenging, I did an extensive questionnaire, an interview, and a test to find the right candidate. I learned quickly that they were the right fit.

How much have you invested with them?

We have spent between $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August 2018–August 2019.

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

The project was a successful engagement and deployment. The software is functioning as expected and I am satisfied with the result.

How did BMV System Integration Pvt. Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?

They are really awesome. They’re efficient and always get the job done quickly. Even with more complex cases, they understand everything and take ownership. We used GitHub for our software integrations and Jira for project management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I trust them. My number one concern when I was looking for a company was trust because we deal with private equity and very sensitive information. When I interviewed them, I immediately felt comfortable. Throughout the process, I gave them more and more access to our entire database; by the end, they had access to the whole system.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have no complaints. The only thing was when the leader was out, there was a small drop in quality, but the rest of the team really stepped up. Other than that very short period of time, they have done an amazing job and I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a family business called Diamond Industries Limited. We’re a manufacturer of palm oil products. These can range from cooking oil to high-grade toilet and laundry soaps. We have over 100 employees.

What challenge were you trying to address with BMV?

They were in charge of creating an ERP for us.

What was the scope of their involvement?

BMV System Integration developed an entire management system that streamlines the basic processes of our manufacturing business. I communicated to them the functionalities and reports I was looking for, and they executed a platform with different modules. These functions include accounting, stock control, sales and order processing, and payments.

They’re just responsible for maintaining the software now. If there are any issues with the software, they’ll take care of it.

What is the team composition?

We generally worked with a team of 4­–5 people. There may have been more programmers working behind the scenes.

How did you come to work with BMV?

I had a personal relationship with one of their teammates because his uncle is a current employee of ours. They seemed to be the natural choice for our project since we knew them closely.

How much have you invested with them?

It cost us approximately $500,000. There’s a maintenance charge of $2,000–$2,200.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with BMV in February or March 2015, and the collaboration is ongoing. It depends on any extra reports or features we require, but 95% of the work is done. They now offer ongoing maintenance and support.

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

We’re very pleased with the platform, which has been working smoothly. BMV listened to exactly what we needed while offering suggestions for alternative solutions. They struck the perfect balance of listening to our exact requirements and implementing improvements.

How did BMV perform from a project management standpoint?

BMV manages deadlines well, and their work is always on time. Due to our connectivity issues and electrical delays in Kenya, there were a few delays, but that wasn’t on them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

While I haven’t worked with other providers, we can say that we’re extremely happy with their services. At one point, they even sent their team of 4­–5 developers to visit us in Kenya. It’s evident that they really care about their customers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything. They’ll go above and beyond to make sure that you get what you want.
