Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We've had an 18-month contract with the Client, an enterprise company revamping its ERP and other digital products in its portfolio. During this period, we were supposed to supply the Client with 10+ developers to help with various goals on their roadmap.
We asked Bright Marbles to help us with specific profiles we didn't have in-house, and they delivered them promptly. After interviewing the candidates, we added them to our team, and they quickly adapted and delivered exceptional work for our client.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We have improved the Client's digital solutions by a large margin, resulting in a satisfying end of cooperation. During the development time, communication and collaboration have been exceptional. Each challenge was faced with an open mind and transparent communication, which made every decision-maker's work easier. All of this together tightened up our relationship with Bright Marbles, and we can't wait to collaborate again on something new.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Management was mainly on the client's side on this project, and each of their developers had to adapt to their style, our team members, and some form of self-management in other aspects of the project.
This extra push was visible from each of their devs, as they were all motivated people, looking for solutions outside of the box and constantly thinking about improving the process. This approach made project management generally smoother, and the Client's roadmap was correctly fulfilled by the end of the contract.

Project summary BrightMarbles developed an API for an existing multiplatform retail game. The custom software solution was built by a team that was hired to supplement the outsourcing company's workforce.
Feedback summary Thanks to BrightMarbles' efforts, the company was able to keep up with the demands of their customers. Their integration into the company's operation was seamless and allowed the company to meet deadlines. BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
Marble It is an outsourcing company from Novi Sad, Serbia, which helps clients from multiple European/American countries create bespoke software solutions and achieve shorter T2M. I am currently a CTO & Partner at our company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire BrightMarbles?
We outsourced the API part of the Saleslide system to Brightmarbles, which was basically a proxy API between multiple third-party services. Deadline was short and we didn't have enough people on our side, so we hired them to help us build all layers of the API (data, business, api).
What were your goals for this project?
Our goal was to achieve the MVP features (both client and API) in 10 weeks, to meet the client's deadline.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
They are known in Novi Sad as one of the top expert companies for that section of software engineering, so we wanted to hire professionals to help us.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
Project was a web app + multi-platform game for connecting retailers and consumers of different brands that wanted to advertise through the game part of the app. Customers collected points through the game, which they could later use through discounts in different stores.
We developed the Vue client side part of the Web app (dashboard, profile, stores etc.) and Brightmarbles arranged the underlying endpoints in .NET (controllers, services and the data layer)
What was the team composition?
Brightmarbles arranged 2 API devs and we arranged 2 frontend developers. I was the tech lead on the project and client arranged a PO.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Since we were a smaller company at the time, it was difficult for us to follow the tempo of some of our clients. Brightmarbles helped us keep the client, which led to new business opportunities and further development of our network.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
In this case, client arranged a PO which was in charge for the management.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The smoothness of their inclusion on the project. Usually there is a period when new people need to adapt to the project, but their guys took the deadline seriously and we managed to finish some of the features in the first days of our cooperation.
Are there any areas for improvement?
The process went smoothly until the end, so I don't think that there are many areas that we could have improved. It would be even easier if we had a team in-house, but isn't something that we are going to require from our vendor. Ratings Overall rating: 5
