The project management by CMARIX was exemplary. Although the job took a little longer than initially expected due to some challenges with API data sources, the delay was well-communicated and managed effectively. Had it not been for these unforeseen issues, they would have delivered on time. They have been very responsive to my requests for changes and updates, always addressing them promptly and efficiently. The team demonstrated excellent management skills, with clear and consistent communication throughout the process. Overall, their approach has ensured a well-coordinated and successful project delivery.

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

What impressed me most about CMARIX was their deep technical expertise and commitment to quality. They not only delivered a technically sound product but also took the time to thoroughly understand the specific needs of my project. Their proactive approach to problem-solving and willingness to go above and beyond set them apart from other companies I've worked with.

Additionally, their seamless integration of advanced data handling capabilities, such as API data intergration and Python coding, demonstrated a unique blend of skills that was crucial for the success of my project.

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

While my experience with CMARIX was overwhelmingly positive, one area for potential improvement could be in the initial project timeline estimation. The project experienced some delays due to unforeseen challenges with API data sources, which could have been better anticipated with more detailed planning and risk assessment. However, these are minor suggestions, and overall, CMARIX demonstrated strong project management and technical skills.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Director of International Sales at the company. We export our innovative kids shoe products to 45 countries globally, including most countries in Europe, US and Canada and the Middle East.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We needed a global corporate website ahead of a series of trade shoes we were about to participate in Europe to showcase our product catalog. We had only a month to launch the website and CMARIX delivered the website as promised on time for the trade shows.

SOLUTION

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

I was introduced to CMARIX through a friend who had worked with them before. We needed a very fast turnaround and didn't have room for a delay due to the scheduled trade shows we were about to attend, each the biggest globally in its category (Spielwarenmesse and ISPO).

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

We needed the look and feel of the website to match our existing corporate websites and the website to include our full product catalog. We share all of our requirements in detail, CMARIX shared their questions about unclear points and started development in a matter of days. They delivered the project on time exactly as we envisioned it to be. The website was developed on Wordpress.

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

Our main contact was the principal consultant and upon scoping of the project, we were assigned a project manager who handled all technical communications.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Upon start of the project, we had already printed the website to our new international business cards and the posters and all marketing materials we would use at the trade shows. These were our first international trade shows and we were able to track the use of the website during and after the trade shows by the visitors to our stand.

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

They were very professional, kind, and client-focused. They have the right tools to communicate any decisions we need to take as part of the project and they always come back with detailed questions not to leave anything to chance and once they start the development, we never had any issues or surprises.

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

Over the past four years and four projects, I have always worked with the same people which is rare these days where people frequently switch jobs. Whenever I contact CMARIX about a new project, I get the same warm and welcoming approach and that gives me great comfort in thinking that when I have a project, I have a partner I can count on.

None.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of the online vehicle marketplace application.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to develop a mobile application specifically designed to provide a marketplace for vehicles and vehicle parts. After years of personal experience in the industry, we wanted to cram the most helpful and important tools and features into the application within our budget, so that at the end we have the most user-friendly platform of its kind on the market.

SOLUTION

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

After searching online for app developers, not only locally, but nationally, and internationally, we decided to go with CMARIX based on a couple of factors. Although the sales team was felt a bit pushy in the beginning, Raj Sharma, the sales contact person was the one that 'sold' me on the service. Ultimately, he was the deciding factor. I noticed a level of professionalism that none of the other developers showed - politeness, competence and 'customer first' attitude.

We spent hours discussing the project via calls, Skype and emails before actually contracting. He was always there to answer any questions, or put the mind at ease if need be. In addition, I had reviewed the companies prior projects, which also helped us build confidence in CMARIX.

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

After a series of meetings to discuss our goals and objectives for this 'blank slate application', a project plan was put together. The development team, lead by Ankit Agrawal, has custom designed the app from scratch and provided a native app development for both, Apple and Android per their standards, as well as, backend development. In addition, per our request, a promotional website was built.

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

The team assigned to MotoFiniti was/is lead by Project Lead, Ankit Agrawal. His team included a UI/UX Expert, 2 Sr. iOS Developers, 2 Sr. Android Developers, 2 PHP/Backend Developers and a Quality Analyst.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It is too early to share any measurable outcomes of the project, as the development is still ongoing due to requested addons before the official 'go-live' publication. A marketing team, lead by Nirav Patel, has already begun work to ensure a successful launch. Review of actual outcomes to be followed after publication.

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

The Project Lead, Ankit, was a real pleasure to work with. He is very patient and always took the time to explain and make sure everything conveyed, is understood, especially in the beginning stages. His level of expertise was, and is, paramount to the successful development and publication of this application. Whenever we ran into issues, he would weigh in with pragmatic solutions and advice, and then, Hitesh, Mrugen and the rest of his team would make the adjustments within a day or two.

We enjoyed working with him so much, that we have already asked to work with him and his team of developers on the next project. Our preferred way of communication was via Skype. Any expected response was always prompt. Their team works hard to make sure timelines are always met.

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

It's tough to narrow it down to just one, but their overall level of professionalism we found most impressive, which includes all communication and correspondence. A close second is making sure that the customer and the project is always the focus. We were equally impressed with the design of the application, which again, started from scratch.

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

While we're very satisfied with the service we have so far received, quality control is one area for improvement. During testing, there were basic functional issues that could have been tested and resolved prior to, which would have saved some time. However, the development team quickly addressed any problems from version to updated version.

SOLUTION

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

We searched online for IT consultants and shortlisted 5. After interviewing them, we chose this vendor based on their service package and experience.

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

The team impressed with their superior development skills paired with their ability to work on tight deadlines. By developing a regular cadence of communication, they managed the project with ease and adapted to any necessary changes in scope. They foresaw potential problems by planning.

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

I worked with a project manager (Ankit) and couple developers for our projects. He's always been responsive and has helped come up with solutions to problems. No complaints here. Also, like to mention that, Karan, who is one of the developers was dedicated to provide quality and completed work even when timelines were tight.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As the project has not yet launched, the company can't provide measurable data. However, the client is happy with the results thanks to CMARIX's work.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Everything was completed on time. We mostly communicated over phone and video chat, but they were very flexible with timing for being a offshore onshore model. Whenever we had a question, they would email us back within an hour.

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

We appreciated that they took the time to understand our vision and our industry. This allowed them to recommend tailored IT solutions that best fit our situation. They've done great work at an affordable rate. I'm trying to think of other projects and functionality I can work with them on in future.

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

All the issues were really minor and have been resolved. This has gone about as well as I could have hoped.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CMARIX?

We wanted a user experience that was going to be engaging to various demographics that was beyond the capabilities of our internal technical staff.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I connected with CMarix on LinkedIn and although we were early stages of our planning phase was so inspired by their portfolio that I could visualize key aspects of our own product in a few of their existing projects. We had a call and explained our vision and requirements and their quote was extremely reasonable.

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

Given this was a UX project we had a workshop to explain our defined user journey and vision for the product. CMarix first created wireframes to better visualize the user journey and after a handful of updates we progressed to design stage where the team provided clickable screens in Adobe XD. We were beyond ecstatic to see the quality of the work and feel our vision coming into reality.

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

We worked with an account manager, design lead and UX designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are still working to integrate the design assets and layouts into our MVP product so can't talk to demonstratable success yet.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow worked well and we were happy with the results. In truth, I would have liked more communications as the team worked but that's more a reflection on how I work. Potentially with more feedback, we may have gotten to where we needed a little faster, but even with that, we had a final version in hand after 4 updates from the team.

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

The professionalism of the team and their ability to understand our big picture vision and help us get that out to a UX was so good that we have changed our development plans as we move past our MVP to include CMarix as a technical partner as well. We are looking forward to our future partnership!

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

Mid-project communications could have been more regular but it didn't really impact the results in the end.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a website in the education niche.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I had an idea for a web app that I wanted to build an mvp for. It was, in my opinion, fairly complicated with a lot of unique features. Additionally, partway through the project, we began working on a 2nd project with CMARIX to add some custom features to our content based website.

SOLUTION

How did you select CMARIX and what were the deciding factors?

I contacted several development agencies and shared my plans and wireframes for the web app. They were the only company that seemed to really understand what I was going for. They asked appropriate questions, came up with solutions, and the cost fit my budget.

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

We've been communicating regularly since the project began, primarily via email. The scope and details of the projects have changed from the initial plan but everything has gone smoothly.

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

I worked with the same project manager for both projects. He's always been responsive and has helped come up with solutions to problems. No complaints here.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The web app is mostly finished with a few small changes still being worked out. Everything is working well on that end and I'm happy with the results. The custom website development brought the changes I was looking for and is working exactly as planned. I'm planning on continuing to work with them on additional functionalities.

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

We communicated via email and Skype calls. They've always been quick and productive.

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

They've done great work at an affordable rate. Previously, I'd felt limited due to not having development skills, but now I'm trying to think of other projects and functionality I can work with them on. Working with them has opened up a lot of possibilities that I wouldn't have considered before.

All the issues were really minor and have been resolved. This has gone about as well as I could have hoped.
