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

Understanding of Project Needs

• Assessment: They demonstrated a clear understanding of our project's needs.
• Details: Throughout the project's lifecycle, they consistently exhibited a comprehensive grasp of the project requirements and objectives. Their ability to align their efforts with our goals was evident from the outset, ensuring that the project's direction remained focused and purposeful.

Expertise in Relevant Areas

• Assessment: They possessed expertise in all areas encompassed by our project.
• Details: Each team leader brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to their respective domains, covering all critical aspects of the project. This expertise facilitated smooth execution of tasks, swift problem-solving, and efficient handling of complex issues, contributing significantly to the project's overall success.

Feedback on Progress and Clarifications

• Assessment: We received excellent feedback on progress and necessary clarifications during the project's course.
• Details: The team leaders maintained open lines of communication, providing regular updates on project milestones and progress. They were proactive in seeking and offering feedback, which was instrumental in addressing and clarifying any uncertainties promptly. This approach ensured that all stakeholders were well-informed and that any potential issues were resolved in a timely manner.

The team leaders' performance was exemplary, marked by their clear understanding of project needs, expertise in relevant areas, and effective communication and feedback mechanisms. Their contributions were pivotal to the project's successful advancement and completion.

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

While they performed exceptionally well in understanding the project needs, demonstrating expertise, and maintaining effective communication, the absence of an on-call support service for preventive maintenance and incident coverage was a notable gap. Implementing such a service would enhance our project's resilience and ensure continuous smooth operation, particularly in the absence of an in-house IT team.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Braintly's work includes evaluating, analyzing, and designing requirements with the product team, followed by planning and implementation. Over the time we've worked together, we've developed several projects that helped improve our processes, automate tasks, and enhance the quality of service we provide to our clients.

We have also worked on the entire operational flow of the application, a financial innovation module, and they helped give our team and project a more professional framework. Additionally, we've collaborated with Braintly on credit decision-making processes, which improved our loan granting process, our core business. Working with a technical team experienced in Fintech has been highly valuable.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

By having a simplified and improved operational flow, we have increased our efficiency as a company. This optimizes the time of each non-technical team member.

We measure how many clients inquire, attempt to obtain credit, and those who successfully receive it. We also set operational limits based on each client's profile, allowing us to better serve genuinely interested clients and provide them with the highest possible credit while managing risks.

We have also divided operations by regions within the country where we have representatives. This allows us to operate with external resources, reducing the need to open physical branches. By the way, since working with Braintly, we have opened the most branches in our history, made possible by technology, which has helped us increase our monthly revenue.

We also keep updated on our competitors online. This allows us to operate more credits with fewer resources. We issue an average of 20 credits per employee.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We work with 2-week sprints. We always plan product and technology development. Usually, if there are no unforeseen issues, deliverables are completed on time and with the expected quality. If there is a delay, they are always prompt in notifying us, so we can understand the business impact.

They also show great flexibility in handling unplanned issues, which is crucial for our business.

What was your primary form of communication with Braintly?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Above all, the values: Transparency, honesty, and clarity. Enhancing our strengths and helping us when things get tough. That's what a real partner does.

True partnership is evident when there are problems to solve, not when everything is going well. And Braintly is always willing to resolve any situation in the most beneficial way for both parties.

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

We are now adding more product people to our team to better connect strategy, product, and technology teams. Often, we need to improve our planning and ideation efforts. This is not necessarily the responsibility of Braintly or Zaro alone, but a joint effort we are working on together.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Despite having ended the commercial relationship with Braintly, we continue to use and improve methodologies and practices that we apply together. Not to mention a better knowledge of our database and our business

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The first years it was a one-to-one job in which urgent needs were addressed but it was difficult to have a long-term view, as time went by the team grew, reaching almost 15 people on the project. This led to being able to project, but delivery times were affected by different daily issues and communication between teams.

Over time, the relationships deteriorated, the economic context caused the number of collaborators to decrease, therefore the deliverables/deadlines were affected.

What was your primary form of communication with Braintly?

In-Person Meeting

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

Their work culture was different from ours, which prompted us to think and act differently, although at some point this had a breaking point and we were no longer able to find that balance, the idiosyncrasies were on opposite paths.

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

Without a doubt, there is always room for improvement. I have personally conveyed what I think about this and I hope it continues that way.

3. MVP launched with minimal technical issues

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project did start off rather slow in the beginning primarily due to under-scoping the overall engineering lift required. We lost around 1-2 months due to this. Once this was known, the team's response was fantastic! Not only did they go above and beyond to help us enhance what we were doing, they added additional team members to the project to regain momentum. We were in the market in just four months!

What was your primary form of communication with Braintly?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We were most impressed with their values. These shine through at weekly meetings, when a new project phase begins, or when problems pop up. Everyone takes pride in their work, cares about the outcome, and is collaborative and fun to work with. I can't say enough.

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

Beyond adjustments in project management and personal made early on, I think we are on the right path - getting better every week.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• I hired Braintly to take a product that had only been pilot tested and turn it into one that was ready for massive scale. This meant redeveloping both the front and back-end applications and creating enterprise-grade integrations. They delivered every time.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We were assigned a project leader who ensured that all expectations for each sprint were clearly outlined and documented with deadlines. Even still, we struggled early on with getting everyone aligned, so the leadership team at Braintly applied extra care to our account to ensure that we got back on track. 

These friction points happen, but rarely are they met with the level of correction we experienced. By the end of our project, the whole team could operate with trust and autonomy while still getting the work done on time.

What was your primary form of communication with Braintly?

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

The leadership team takes feedback seriously and works hard to make things right. I cannot wait to work with Braintly again.

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

Throughout the time we worked together, we worked through the most challenging parts. My only feedback is to provide training support for technologies a client uses before the contract start date. For example, we used Firebase; the team had never touched it before the project. It may be worth having teams do a few demo projects with the tech stack ahead of time to get familiar with uncommon portions.

Tupperware has successfully transformed its traditional business model into a remarkable online digital experience. Our journey with Braintly began in 2020 with the launch of their first digital store, which was initially focused on Buenos Aires. Over the next three months, they conducted a discovery process to better understand their goals, which ultimately led to the integration of Tupperware's sales representatives into their digital channel.

Tupperware's objective was not to cannibalize its customer base but to provide its representatives with more tools to reach a wider audience. To achieve this, Braintly implemented a Shopify Plus platform that was integrated with payment, logistics, and management platforms such as MercadoPago, Andreani, and JD Edwards. Braintly designed, developed, and implemented a dashboard for their entire sales force.

They created a custom engine for flexible commercial policies, which enables the sales team to offer tailored deals to their customers. This forward-thinking approach has paid off for Tupperware, as they launched nationwide e-commerce in 2021 and plan to achieve full representative integration and process automation by 2022. If you're looking for a company that's committed to innovation and delivering an outstanding customer experience, Braintly is a great choice.
