The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CRM & Digital Projects Responsible at NAOS Turkey. We operate in dermocosmetics sector for more than 13 years in Turkey. Our company has about 160 employess and we serve pharmacies all along the country. I oversee our digital products and vendor relationships.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Commencis?

Our company’s loyalty mobile application was created over 4 years ago and had not been updated since. We had noticed a steady decline in downloads and ratings over the past few years and decided to invest in a new mobile app. We do not have any in-house developers, so we needed to outsource the entire redesign and rebuild.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to see our mobile app engagement and downloads double by the end of the year and we wanted to increase the number of inquiries that we received through our contact form. We also needed the mobile app to be easy to update on our end, so we were interested in a simple, user friendly platform.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We selected this company based on the quality of their final proposal.

Describe the project in detail.

We had a couple meetings with the company and they prepared the concept and wireframes. After a couple iterations and discussions with our marketing team, we finalized the design and provided feedback. The company’s project management method consists of 5 stages; UX, UI, Analysis, Development and Publish.

What was the team composition?

We were assigned 1 project manager, 1 UX designer, 1 UI designer, 1 Business Analyst, 1 iOS developer, 1 Android developer and QA resources.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within 6 months after our new app was launched, we saw approximately 15.000 downloads and we continue to hear positive feedback on the functions of the app from our custumers.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We received a couple warnings if a deadline was not going to be met which happened a few times. We were able to communicate all members of the project team and we communicate through e-mails, phone calls, conference calls and meetings.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed by the knowledge that this company had about user experience and interface design. I learned much more than I thought.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything can always be done faster, but were satisfied with the quality of their work.
