Codewave Technologies

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of sales and marketing at Rankpedia, an e-learning platform. We mainly work with B2B.

What challenge were you trying to address with Codewave Technologies?

We needed help with development.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Codewave Technologies (Codewave) developed the login portal for students and schools from scratch.  The platform will be enabled for the entire education segment starting from kindergarten. Codewave used easily scalable technologies for millions of users to build the website. They did all the designs and flows on the site and developed the iOS and Android applications.

There were different types of logins, analytics, and dashboards for the website. The login portal was integrated in the website and mobile apps. For the first year, we’re launching for 8th–10th grade for science and math. Schools give the login to the students, and students can learn through the pre recorded videos, graphical animations, and written notes by the teachers. They can also see their grades.

On the other hand, parents get weekly reports on how their child is performing, while the school can see how many students are learning, what the login times are, and if they’re logging in properly. Everything is on a single screen.

The mobile apps are used by students, parents, school admins, and school teachers. Additionally, there’s a master login for our company.

What is the team composition?

We were in contact with the project manager, both UI and UX contacts, a user requirement contact, someone on the analytics side, and someone on the development side. There were 7–8 heads of the business and 25–35 people in total.

How did you come to work with Codewave Technologies?

We did a Google search, called about 20 companies, and asked them to present. We had different parameters; one of them was looking at their past customers’ feedback. Most of the companies did a faster job, but every one of Codewave's clients were extremely happy.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $120,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February–May 2021.

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

When it came to development, they knew what was in the market and how we should accommodate that to the product. They delivered on time and provided constant updates. I was very happy with what they did for us; they added a lot of value to our product.

Also, the team respected our domain, and the UI people were very in-depth.

How did Codewave Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

The project manager was in charge of looking after the technologies they were using, future scalabilities, how user-friendly it was, and giving input. They kept us informed at every stage and met targets before the deadline.

We used Slack, Jira, and Skype for communication. We received daily updates, so everything was tracked every day. Since we’re a startup, sometimes my payment was delayed for 2–3 weeks, but they never called me on it.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They delivered 100% of what they promised.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I was happy with what I received. I didn’t think there was any flaw.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d be more than happy to recommend them to any of my contacts looking for any sort of development, but you have to be clear with what you want and give them a free hand.

They don’t like poking, so don’t keep changing your requirements and let them work the way they want. They’ll deliver in less time than promised.

There was a hands on project manager, a talented graphics designer, and developers covering different technologies to deliver the project - in addition to a dev-ops team who was taking case of infrastructure on AWS.

There was a project manager initially, but eventually, we worked directly with the engineers. It was more efficient and productive that way.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They worked diligently to meet deadlines, including late nights sometimes.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could use some more engineers for hardware and mechanical projects, rather than just software engineers. This posed some challenges for us occasionally through the project.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Interact directly with the engineers. They’re great for software but there are some challenges if you’re dealing with a physical device.
