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. They are a team that respects deadlines-every milestone was delivered exactly as promised.

What was your primary form of communication with CedrTech?

In-Person Meeting

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

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

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.

Built a backend that’s a beast-it effortlessly handles thousands of documents every minute without breaking a sweat.

Got a local AI up and running, fine-tuning it to take the heavy lifting out of our risk assessments.

Moved our database to a high-speed setup, so real-time querying actually feels instant now.

Set up a rock-solid internal API that our frontend guys actually love working with.

Put the system through absolute hell in stress testing to make sure it doesn’t flinch, even at peak load.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since we switched, we’re processing documents 45% faster than before. Moving to a local AI model was a smart move, too-it saved us almost $4k a month in API costs. And even when traffic went through the roof last month, the system stayed rock-solid. Total peace of mind.

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

They are extremely disciplined. Because we are in SF, we were worried about the time difference, but their team in Lviv was very responsive. They used an "AI-augmented" workflow that allowed them to ship updates daily. If a bug was found, it was usually patched within hours.

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.

Here is another version. It’s professional and clean, but uses more active, "human" language to describe the technical tasks:

CedrTech took over a complex legacy codebase. Their scope included:

A deep dive into the existing transactional logic to root out performance bottlenecks.

Instead of just an "audit," they actually got their hands dirty to find what was slowing us down.

The heavy lifting of integrating three major financial vendors via REST APIs.

They managed the complex connections with our financial partners and made sure everything talked to each other perfectly.

Building a high-performance backend that doesn’t blink at concurrent payments.

They designed an architecture that stays fast and stable, even when hit with a massive wave of transactions.

Setting up smart monitoring and alerts to keep our 99.9% uptime promise.

They built a safety net that watches the system for us, ensuring we stay online and reliable around the clock.

Fine-tuning the database so lookups and financial reporting are finally fast.

They optimized the core of our data, so we’re no longer waiting forever to pull a report or find a record.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The most impressive result was that we achieved internal approval for the new architecture in just one week-something that usually takes us a month. After deployment, our system capacity increased by 300%, and we saw a 32% boost in release velocity thanks to their automated CI/CD pipelines.

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

I love how these guys work. They’re fast, sure, but it’s the organization that kills me-they just don't miss. We actually threw a massive curveball at them with some new compliance stuff, and I expected a total meltdown. Instead, they just shifted gears, sorted it in two days, and we didn't lose a second of progress. It’s been a total lifesaver.

What was your primary form of communication with CedrTech?
