CODECLOUDS

Introduce your business and what you do there.

 I’m a partner at an IT company. 

What challenge were you trying to address with CODECLOUDS?

We’d had several failed dev partnerships in the past and needed an agency to build an end-to-end software solution.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’d developed an initial wireframe for the app and gave the specs to CODECLOUDS to begin the dev. They did custom coding for the backend and had dev, QA, and production environments. The app is hosted on AWS. End clients can use the app to streamline their RFP process, condensing the creation, distribution, and tabulation of RFPs all into one program. The software is written in a manner to have the ability to expand into the private sector and also be white labeled.

What is the team composition?

We had two main points of contact, but the overall team was probably around eight people.

How did you come to work with CODECLOUDS?

We found CODECLOUDS online. We’d picked the wrong company many times before and were wary about an overseas partner, but their price was competitive, so we gave them a small pilot project. Their work was the highest quality we’d seen from any of our former dev partners, so we extended the relationship.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $75,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We partnered in May 2017, and the work is ongoing.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’re a small company with limited funds, but when people see the app, they think we spent much more on it than we actually did—that’s how high quality it is. People are blown away by the UX and how the app makes the complicated RFP process so simple.

How did CODECLOUDS perform from a project management standpoint?

We have daily standup meetings with at least two people from their team. We use Trello to track our progress and can always reach them on Skype, if needed. Whenever we have a problem, they quickly respond to resolve it as soon as possible.

What did you find most impressive about them?

During the beginning of our engagement, we realized our wireframes weren’t 100% complete, but CODECLOUDS didn’t charge us extra to finish them up. They walked us through the app development process and were upfront about their expectations, price, and limitations. They don’t just listen to our problems but also do their best to fix them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They just need to continue to mature and listen to their customers.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Stay engaged with the project and keep the lines of communication open.

Please describe your company and your position there.

MDX Solutions Ltd is an internet marketing company. I'm the executive assistant to the CEO, the marketing director, and I also perform data analyst functions. 

For what projects/services did your company hire CODECLOUDS?

In order to open new merchant identification numbers, we needed to create unique, independent bank sites. We have 30 merchant identification numbers overall, so we needed 30 new bank sites.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted all 30 sites to be completed as soon as possible, with each site holding a different score of products, company information, and text, as well as a different look and layout.

How did you select this vendor?

CODECLOUDS came highly recommended by a mutual business affiliate. Our CEO had a phone meeting with the team and agreed to trial the service.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

First, we set out the specifications for the project. Each site needed to have a different configuration of products and relevant text. Also, at least one product should be named after the site domain. We provided a variety of information (e.g. domains, images, product descriptions, and company information), which the team included in the websites.

What was the team composition?

We worked with a developer every day. We generally dealt with the same people throughout the project.

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

We have been able to submit merchant identification number applications for five companies, providing us with 15 merchant identification numbers in total so far. Results have happened much quicker than we initially thought they would.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We communicate via Skype or Email, and we provide commentary as the sites are developed. Skype is for general questions, and email is for tasks. All email chains are well monitored, and all of our questions are answered or executed on quickly. The sites are created through an El Minara CMS. Their effective working style has enabled them to create one website per day.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They work quickly and efficiently. Whenever we give feedback, they implement the correction quickly and don't repeat the issue. There has been no task too big or too small for them.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There aren't many ways their service could be improved.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of Scale Operations Management.

For what projects/services did your company hire CODECLOUDS?

I hired them for web development and CRM integration.

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted them to consistently create functional landing pages for my customers so they could offer their products to consumers in an appealing way. I also wanted them to integrate those pages into the operations system headed and managed by my team.

How did you select this vendor?

I was introduced to them by a mutual friend in the industry many years ago.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

I work with them to address development and integration concerns for e-commerce companies. They create, integrate, and secure effective and conversion-friendly landing pages so that my clients’ businesses see consistent sales and growth. They can code any integration I request and make it for CRM and landing pages.

What was the team composition?

We have four people on my end, and we handle the management tasks of the businesses. CODECLOUDS provides an expert developer, who is backed up by a team of senior developers.

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

The unparalleled synergy between our teams has allowed my business to experience exponential growth in a very short amount of time. Using their services, I've taken my clients’ businesses from no revenue to seven figures.

My clients do DTC product sales online, which requires a lot of backend support. CODECLOUDS makes this a seamless process because they’re development experts. It's great. They go above and beyond in providing services for our clients.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Their process is very effective because they have coding capacity to fulfill all of our needs.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their consistency and dedication stand out. They cycle through their work repeatedly without any signs of slowing down. They are well-organized, well-staffed, and well-run.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I’m completely satisfied.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the operations manager for Sozo Management. We specialize in business development and marketing for small e-commerce businesses.

For what projects/services did your company hire CODECLOUDS?

We created numerous e-commerce sites with CODECLOUDS over our two years of working together. The projects ranged from building landing pages to developing full sites with multiple pages.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to deliver simple layouts that would drive traffic without confusing the consumer. They had to use the latest technology.

How did you select this vendor?

We worked with a few developers and development companies before selecting CODECLOUDS. Our first time meeting Rex (VP of Sales, CODSCLOUDS) was at a tradeshow, and he was very passionate about his business. We ultimately decided on him when our previous development company failed to deliver on a project.  

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We primarily worked with them to build landing pages for products and e-commerce sites, but they also created a smooth interface between our CRM and our clients' websites. Their contacts regarding merchanting, marketing, and app development have also been valuable.

What was the team composition?

We primarily interfaced via email with our team of four developers and several supervisors. We always felt comfortable going to our representative or the managers if we needed something as well.

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

Without the speed and care that CODECLOUDS provided, we wouldn’t have grown to the size we are now. Their service was critical.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We shared our work via email and they would respond in the same thread. We also had Skype, but we primarily used that for emergencies. They never failed to deliver a daily progress report.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their combination of quality and speed was outstanding. Most of the items we needed were turned around on the same day.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The only thing would be to better inform us of when their team would be available. That didn’t have much of an impact on us, however.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They could be more precise.
