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

We engineered a high-performance native Kotlin application specifically optimized for field speed and battery longevity. At its core, the system features an edge AI vision module that performs real-time, on-device analysis of solar panels to detect micro-cracks instantly without relying on cloud connectivity. To support remote operations, we implemented a sophisticated offline-first architecture with a robust local database that triggers seamless server synchronization once a stable connection is established. Understanding the environmental constraints, we designed an industrial-grade UX with a "low-tap" workflow specifically tailored for technicians operating in protective gloves. This entire mobile ecosystem is backed by a secure, scalable Python-based API designed to handle high-throughput uploads of high-resolution inspection imagery.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The impact was huge for our field operations. Technicians now complete inspections significantly faster because the AI handles the initial sorting of defect images. The offline reliability has been perfect-we haven't lost a single inspection report due to connectivity issues. Our pilot clients were so impressed that we’ve already signed three long-term service contracts.

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

Working with CedrTech was a masterclass in efficiency. Their Agile process felt lean and purposeful, focusing on shipping code rather than sitting in meetings. Thanks to Danylo’s deep dive into product discovery, we dodged several expensive UX pitfalls that would have haunted our navigation logic later.

We tackled the data challenge head-on by building a pipeline that processes millions of events daily. This feeds our custom AI core, which predicts the 'next best offer' for every customer segment. To keep the experience seamless, we engineered an API with sub-50ms latency—basically invisible to the user. We then tied the whole engine into Magento and the CRM, giving the marketing team a dedicated dashboard to track the AI's performance in real-time.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since implementation, we’ve seen a 18% increase in average order value (AOV) and a 22% improvement in repeat purchase rates. The system handled our Black Friday traffic (5x normal load) with zero downtime and perfect stability.

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

What I appreciate most is their 'no-nonsense' approach to management. They don't waste time on unnecessary overhead, which allowed them to deliver every module exactly when promised. Communication was seamless throughout. Even when we hit a snag with a database sync during the pilot, they jumped on it immediately and had it resolved in just three hours.

What was your primary form of communication with CedrTech?

• In-Person Meeting

I’m not even kidding, the shift since we dropped that new module has been a total game-changer. We’re suddenly blasting through our to-do lists, mainly because we aren't bogged down cleaning up those annoying manual scheduling blunders anymore. And the muscle on this thing? We’re feeding it massive mountains of data that would have absolutely crushed our old setup, and it doesn't even break a sweat. No stuttering, no drama... it just handles it.

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

Very professional. They use a "Senior-level" only model, which means there’s no "lost in translation" between the PM and the devs. They were incredibly flexible-when we needed to change a core database requirement in month 4, they handled it without missing a beat.

What was your primary form of communication with CedrTech?

Virtual Meeting

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

They don't just "write code"-they build products. They understood our business goals better than some of our internal staff. The way they use AI tools (Cursor, Claude) to accelerate delivery is honestly the future of development. You’re paying for experts who work at superhuman speeds.

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

Their focus is very much on the backend and complex logic. If you need a lot of high-end consumer-facing UI/UX research, you might need to supplement them, but for core business systems, they are unbeatable.

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

What I love about them is that they have that startup hustle without the usual chaos. They’re as structured as any massive corporation and haven't missed a deadline once. We actually had to pivot twice-once for new laws and once because our users wanted a different onboarding flow-and they handled both in days, not weeks. They kept us lean, kept the burn rate low, and honestly just made my life a lot easier.
