BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We have a mobile app that is the front end (customer facing) for a delivery service we provide as an employee perk for our customers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Classic Informatics Pvt. Ltd.?

Full stack dev, mobile (react native) development for both iOS and Android, networking, architecture, devops, QA, etc.

What were your goals for this project?

Develop both a customer and a driver app to run on iOS and Android as well as the back end infrastructure, database, APIs, administrative features, etc.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Jayant at CI reached out to us on a post we made for full stack/app devs on Indeed.com. Of the 4-5 we were looking at, Jayant and the people we spoke with at CI seemed best equipped and had the most relevant experience (and full set of skills on the team) to do what we needed in the timeframe and for the cost we were looking at.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Developers (mobile, full stack, API, web, databse, etc). Networking and architecture work. DevOPS. QA. Consulting for design and strategy. They built and maintained everything and handled deployment and worked hand-in-hand with us to deliver our apps.

What was the team composition?

Different as needs evolved throughout the course of the project. We always had 1 project manager (Thank you Neha :) ) who we could get ahold of any time. Several devs worked consistently on the project since it consisted mainly of full stack and mobile dev. Sometimes we would loop in CI's design team or architecture or networking team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Without CI, we would not have a way to get to our customers. 10/10

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management was prompt and efficient. When CI needed clarification, they were quick to ask. Often they caught things we missed and recommended scenarios to us that would help us run smoothly. On that note, they took the time to really understand what it is we are doing and were very proactive with feedback and ideas.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

What I mentioned in the last point - they really understood the ins and outs of what we are trying to accomplish. So instead of just being myself and my partner, we had access to several people thinking of creative ideas, in addition to development and maintenance. Also, if we had problems (sometimes our fault) they were available to fix even off-hours.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Very little. We are based in the US and CI is in India, so except for the late calls (which was easy enough to work around) there is very little I would change.
