BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of a fintech company located in Nashville, Tennesee USA.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Busona?

I employed Busona to provide expertise in designing and developing an innovative and comprehensive UI/UX.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I searched extensively online using Google, UpWork, and several other freelance sites. I scheduled a skeptical interview with Ihsan and from day one, he fully understood the scope of work and quickly produced samples for my review. I was duly impressed.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project consisted of an omnichannel (PSTN, LiveChat, LiveVideo, SMS) communication and collaboration platform, digital eSign, eNotary, user identity, conversational AI BOT, softphone, call center screens, CRM, and a plethora of various flows. Several milestones were established and all of them were completed ahead of scheduled timelines.

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

I engaged directly with Ihsan via a combination of Slack, and various video communication platforms. Although Ihsan has an expert team, his experience, and expertise, along with his skill set with Figma provided the results that I was hoping for.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have shared the UI/UX with potential customers to receive their feedback and input prior to finalizing our production version and we receive overwhelming and positive responses. The customers are impressed with how friendly and intuitive the UI/UX is.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflow and communication were exceptional even though there was an 11-hour time difference.

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

Ihsan's skills blew me away. I had previously employed four different companies to design and develop the UI/UX and all of them failed to understand the scope of the project. Ihsan immediately understood the requirement and was confident from the beginning that he could provide what I was seeking... and he overwhelmingly delivered.

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

Based on my experience with Ihsan and his company, there are no areas of improvement or suggestions that I could make. I highly recommend this company and will be utilizing them again in the immediate future.
