CGS-team

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the head of software development at Pandemic Relief Supply and we specialize in creating software for supply chain optimization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Code Generation, and what were your goals?

We hired Code Generation for a MERN stack project to help create new features for our existing supply chain solution platform. Our goal was to increase the services offered within our platform for both our internal team and external users. Code Generation helped complete multiple features to help expand our software.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I ran an interview process with many candidates and chose Code Generation based on both the previous work they had done, an online interview I conducted with them, for the ability that being a team I was able to expand with them as needed and due to the fact that if my personal assigned developer ever had an issue he was able to get help from another team member to help resolve it.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We used MERN stack to create a leads tracking system, improvements to our order management system, improvements to an inquiry based system for product pricing, an area for tracking commissions and other general improvements to the application to become more optimized.

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

I worked with two members directly from their team one being the manager of developers and one being a developer themselves.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

After introducing the features created by code generation our internal team was able to a lot of our operations to a more centralized location rather than having a lot of different software to handle different parts of our business.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We had constant communication back and forth being able to chat whenever was needed. They allowed me to set up the style I wanted for managing development. In our case, we set up a task-based system where I was able to assign tasks and monitor as each was completed and provide feedback.

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

What I found most impressive is their ability to meet the deadlines I set consistently, we are a fast-changing company and the team at Code Generation is able to meet us each step of the way.

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

When we first got started we had to find an effective means of communication and feedback, once we figured out a good method that worked between our two organizations it became smooth sailing.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Senior Product Manager here at Switch. We're developing a browser-based productivity platform to help improve the browser experience for knowledge workers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Code Generation, and what were your goals?

We hired Code Generation as we were looking to outsource the build for a particular module. Our goal was to utilise the expertise of the company to quickly develop a module that could be directly imported into our current build, to rapidly improve our offering.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We considered several other proposals, but the professional organisation and communication from the team were paramount in our decision-making process. We needed strong communication skills as the project was likely to need quick decisions made as it evolved.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We were looking for full-stack react developers with experience using MongoDB and Elasticsearch. The scope of work was to implement a new feature in our Chrome extension, which will enable our customers to centrally search through the history of applications they’ve used. The Chrome extension was implemented with React, TypeScript, Node and MongoDB. We required a deliverable that could be built as a private npm package, so that we could add to our extension as a module.

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

We communicated with Oleksii, the technical project manager, day-to-day, and ad-hoc with up to 3 senior developers depending on the specific conversations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We were able to implement the solution directly into our extension and launch within 2 weeks of delivery. We are still waiting on result metrics from the launch.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project management was perfect - always accessible, and ready for a call if ever needed. We communicated through Slack day-to-day, and used Github as our code repo.

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

There were two things that really proved impressive about working with Oleksii and the team.

1. Their communication was impeccable. Whenever we had queries, questions, or needed updates, Oleksii would get back to us immediately and then update as soon as he could. When managing timelines with outsourced work, this made such a difference as we could run our internal development perfectly in parallel.
2. Time was not charged for troubleshooting or tweaks required from the developers. This gave us real confidence in the quality of the delivery, and gave us confidence that we could simply 'plug-and-play' the module on delivery.

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

We had one small piece of confusion on the timesheets, however, this was handled expertly by Oleksii ensuring that they were correct. Moving forward, we simply agreed to be more explicit with time-estimates/logging, to ensure each piece of work was confirmed before started. As I said before, this was never really a concern though, as the communication and quality of delivery meant that this was dealt with immediately.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are an entertainment and social startup, I am a co-founder and designer with the founder and senior developer CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Code Generation?

We had an idea that we improved and structured it better and wanted to make it happen, so we hired Code Generation for develop our mobile application.

What were your goals for this project?

As a startup we wanted to make a functional good app to be launched on the app stores and have active users that enjoy and engage using it. It is still a job in progress but we are very confident about it.

SOLUTION

How did you select Code Generation?

We interviewed some professionals and we decided that a company such as Code generation could provide more flexibility and professionals for the job in a quicker time, also easier to manage.

Describe the project in detail.

We use NDA so cannot disclosure much information.

What was the team composition?

we had a senior Developer in managing the whole team, one designer and 2 to 5 developers as needed for the project pace we wanted to achieve.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within 3 months of work, we were able to make a project very close to our expectations that will attend the user needs and meet out proposition. The app still have some bugs and flaws to be ajusted but the team is fixing them and it was somewhat inevitable to not have bugs due the scenario of being a startup and the project had some changes while we were progressing. The team did not measure efforts to make things the best as possible.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager that was assigned was easy to communicate with and provided us frequent updates. We connected over Zoom calls and used Slack most communications. The workflow has been effective we also keep improving it. Overall we were impressed by the timelines of the team, we received ample warning if the deadline wasn't going to be met and we understood what were the causes.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We are impressed by the knowledge the team has about mobile app development, user experience, and optimization we felt safe that he would manage the team well, the developers were also very impressive, had a lot of experience and could handle pressure. This was a very positive experience and we will certainly engage with this company again for any other mobile apps needs we have in the future.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything can always be done faster, but we were vert satisfied with their work. In the end Quality is more important than speed and we ended up with a beautiful and easy to use product that make us proud of.
