Feedback summary: 

Confianz Global, inc created software that modernizes product quoting and order confirmations. The app expedites internal processes and significantly reduces calculation errors. They understood a complex problem and produced an innovative solution. Proactive communication simplified the process.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a team leader for a furniture manufacturer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz Global, inc?

We originally reached out to them about building an ERP system using ODOO. During that conversation, we brought up the need for an application that can automate the editing process our documents undergo within our order entry system.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

To process orders and price quotations, we have to use a proprietary system that links directly to our factory. However, the documents it provides are formatted for use in Germany. Before our engagement with Confianz Global, inc, we had to manually edit the documents to correct punctuation, formatting issues, and price listings. Eventfully, we were generating so many documents that our internal staff couldn’t keep up with the demand.

We hired Confianz Global, inc to develop a custom application that could import word documents and convert the text to XML format. Then, the app needed to enable us to bulk edit information based on the location of certain fields. Furthermore, we wanted the software to automate changes that always take place like the formatting of dates and prices.

They developed the application using AngularJS. It includes a UI for us to edit pricing, customer names, delivery addresses, and the payment terms of any purchase. The app generates both quotations and order acknowledgments. We still manually enter item prices, but the software automatically calculates the customer’s cost based on quantity and available discounts.

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with their CTO who functioned as our project lead. Their CEO also assisted with communications back and forth as needed. I don’t know exactly how many developers worked on the app.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global, inc?

We’d tried to build the application with two other companies and both attempts failed. We were in the process of closing down the project when we first spoke to Confianz Global, inc Our financial director was put in touch with them through one of her contacts.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $30,000 and $50,000 in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

This project took place from November 2017–April 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Calculating specific metrics for document generation is difficult. My team wouldn’t have made it through our busy order entry season without the new software. The pricing automation feature drastically reduces the number of calculation errors within our system. Overall, our accounting team has indicated that the project is hugely successful given the trend of our annual sales growth. It’s difficult to imagine a scenario where we manage to create all the documents we need without the help of Confianz Global, inc.

How did Confianz Global, inc perform from a project management standpoint?

The communication process went smoothly. We regularly scheduled conference calls or video chats using WebEx. Overall, we’re extremely happy with their availability and documentation efforts throughout the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They understood the business and process level issues we needed to be resolved in a way that other companies didn’t pick up on. They delivered on their promises and consistently met the scheduled deadlines. We also appreciated the forthcoming nature of their updates. We never had to reach out to them. Instead, they’d communicate their progress to us and provided a test application to demonstrate the work they’ve done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’d recommend that they adjust their project expectations to match the technological competency of their clients. We only had two people from our side that were available to work with them. Even then, other projects would pull us away from responding to Confianz Global, inc for a week or so at a time. They were nice about this, but I feel like they expected us to be more engaged and contributive to the development process.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO of a hosted voiceover IT company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz Global, Inc?

We were trying to modify our ERP system, which is based on Odoo.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had them migrate our system for version 8.0 to 10.0. They also integrated in some external payment and billing platforms. They do a lot of customizations for us as well.

What is the team composition?

I talk with two developers, one who acts as project manager. We also have an account manager. I know of about five people there, but they also have another team that we don’t work with.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global, Inc?

They reached out to me initially. Their responsiveness was good and they did well with the test project we gave them. Other companies we considered either charged too much or executed poorly. Confianz was the only company we encountered that encompassed everything we wanted.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $20,000–$25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around July of 2017. The initial project was done within about a month but we keep sending them more projects. Their customization work for us is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They’ve had a big impact on our business. They added a report generator that saves us 60–70% of the time required for billing. Now that everything is integrated together, we can use other reports for taxes and other documentation on the IT side of our business. The custom helpdesk software we have now reduces confusion by at least 40–50%.

How did Confianz Global, Inc perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything was done remotely and we communicated as needed. We’re happy with their level of availability and their documentation.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They execute requests and are responsive whenever we reach out to them or need an update.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not really, they do really good work.

Feedback summary: 

The implementation of Odoo has greatly increased the security in moving away from the legacy system, leading to more work for Confianz. While there were project management challenges, the team's customer-oriented approach smooths any rough patches and their quality of work generally wins the day.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the IT and logistics director of Stout Stuff LLC.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz Global, inc?

Our legacy management system was disjointed, unstable, and facing a host of issues. After much investigation, we decided to implement Odoo as our new ERP.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Confianz partnered with us on an initial investigation into our business environment and our needs. The CEO came down for 2–3 sessions of walking through our accounting processes (e.g., purchasing, receiving, customer orders). The goal of the initial fact-finding was to determine if Odoo would or wouldn't be a viable replacement for our legacy system. They also come back to us with what it would cost to do the replacement.

We liked that Odoo is an open source system, and we thought we’d get a good ROI in terms of our capital expenditure. It was a pretty good fit for us because most of our business processes are fairly uniform in terms of industry standards. For the few processes that didn’t neatly sync up with Odoo, Confianz helped us change and customize those modules.

In terms of the technology, the host is Ubuntu Linux running on DigitalOcean as a cloud service. It’s accessible through HTTP or HTTPS through the WAN. They’re implementing Odoo on the backend as PostgreSQL and Python in terms of the modules.

What is the team composition?

The CEO is my direct lead in terms of any anything big. I speak to him directly on the initiation of new projects or any escalation. On the technical side, there’s a lead developer. He oversees a team of at least two junior developers. He’s their technical and project management lead. I deal with him on tactical, day-to-day issues. We also work with an accounting lead on invoices and contracts.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global, inc?

I decided to work with Confianz after in-depth online research and investigation.

How much have you invested with them?

In total, we’ve spent around $100,000 to date ($80,000 for Phase 1, $20,000 for Phase 2).

What is the status of this engagement?

The project began in October 2016. We’re in Phase 2 of a four phase project. The first phase (replacing our legacy accounting system with Odoo) is almost closed. We just started Phase 2, which is adopting replenishment modules inside Odoo. Then they'll do two more phases—sales and customer relationship management, and shipment tracking from our vendors.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Having Confianz partner with us to implement Odoo has absolutely given us an alternative course of action to our legacy system. Odoo will soon handle everything accounting, including the backend general ledger. We have not yet formally transitioned off the legacy system, but we're about 8–9 months into running Odoo in parallel. So far everything seems to be clean and working. We've actually had a couple of times where our legacy system came close to crashing. In the past, we would’ve been in significant trouble if that had happened. Having Odoo run in parallel gives us the security that we could we could fail over to Odoo right now and be okay.

Their development team is very well-versed. Nothing we've asked them for has been outside their realm of experience or ability. It's been a good partnership for us. Based on where we're at right now where we want to go, they've given us a roadmap to help us grow and scale as a company.

How did Confianz Global, inc perform from a project management standpoint?

I have a really good relationship with the CEO, and the lead developer is incredibly knowledgeable. He's very good at the technical aspects and he understands business processes. However, we’ve had some issues with their agile project management. As we were nearing the end of Phase I, we had some debates with them because they said that our requested changes were outside of the original scope. Our argument is that the nature of agile methodology means that you don’t define everything upfront so changes are to be expected. The CEO and his team eventually struck a compromise with us in terms of scope and additional development costs, which was very reasonable. Going forward into Phase 2, we made sure upfront to better clarify the scope of work and the cost estimates.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're genuine and responsive. I think they’re a good fit for us because we're both small companies trying to get bigger. We have a good partnership. They're trying to grow their business and want customers that will be with them for the long term. We're looking for a service provider that will take the time to understand what we do, help us implement a system that will support our work, and be available to us well into the future.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re definitely short-handed, especially around their key assets. While the lead developer is incredible, they run almost all of their work through him. If he’s out for illness or vacation, it had significant impacts to our business and our projects. I had some very difficult conversations with the CEO about the need to grow their human capital. It would be really beneficial if they would create some redundancy around key roles. The CEO himself handles much of their customer relationship workload, so that’s another area with they could use additional resources.

The expertise, reliability, and responsiveness distinguish Confianz Global from other IT firms. The systems changes they implemented are expected to streamline operations significantly.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the president of a small manufacturing company that builds commercial kitchen equipment for sale to a nationwide network of wholesale supply houses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz Global?

We needed to systematically change and make more efficient the way we operated on a day-to-day basis. That included managing business finances, work order operations, manufacturing operations, and other top-to-bottom processes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

In addition to offering custom development, they helped us implement an ERP solution using Odoo, an open-source application that offers a paid enterprise version. They also helped us build a website and are working to integrate backend operations to the ERP system.

What is the team composition?

On any given project, I was in contact with about four people.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global?

We talked to several people when we were looking for a partner, but Confianz was the only group that took the time to visit our location to see our manufacturing firsthand, which gave them insight into our goals.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $30,000 and $40,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in the summer of 2017 and finished most of the implementation by the end of that year. Since then, we've continued with projects, including website creation, backend ERP integration, and customized development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They’ve changed the way we operate and eliminated a lot of our struggles so that we can work in a more unified, visible way. We expect to see more of an impact as the current project goes along.

How did Confianz Global perform from a project management standpoint?

Their communication was outstanding. We usually communicated via email but also used a cloud-based project management tool. Most of its e-mail we used a project-based project management. If we need better visibility in the conversation, we use Google Meet or Webex.

What did you find most impressive about them?

In addition to quick responsiveness, the team’s knowledge helps us find and implement creative solutions.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you stay on track and keep communication open, you'll be successful.

Since engaging Confianz, the company was able to increase employee efficiency and accuracy and scale to meet new demand. Web inquiries and sales also jumped by over 100 percent. The agency exceeded all expectations, listening carefully to needs and delivering practical solutions.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of KMI Zeolite, which has been in the business of mining, milling, and packaging high-grade natural clinoptilolite zeolite for many different applications since 1994. KMI has customers all over the world ranging from government agencies and Fortune 500 companies to animal shelters and home consumers. Our products are used for sports field infill, water filtration, odor control, algae control, soil amendment, animal feed, and more.

I’m responsible for the overall vision and strategy of the company as well as sales, compliance, and non-operating related finances.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz Global?

KMI has averaged a 60% annual sales growth over the last six years, presenting many challenges. We have six times the employees in several different physical locations than we had two years ago and no way to manage the growth. We outgrew our methods of tracking and shipping orders and didn't have a central ERP [enterprise resource planning] system. We were over-reliant on Quickbooks which had limited capabilities without going to the Enterprise Edition.

Additionally, we had a very weak online presence and no e-commerce. Our SEO [search engine optimization] was almost non-existent and most of our employees possessed very little technical or computer skills.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The first project we did with Confianz was for the ERP system. The scope of work was clearly defined and laid out. The tasks, objectives, deliverables, and timelines were all set and all achieved within budget.

Having had such a positive experience, we immediately engaged them on a second project which was the creation of a new 150-page website from our old site which only had 10 pages. Again, all our specifications were laid out clearly in a scope of work and once again the scope was fulfilled on time and within budget.

We have since engaged Confianz on some custom e-commerce projects including the automation of our sample process and creation of postage labels from the ERP system with several different delivery methods.

We’ve also changed our SEO provider to Confianz and in the first three months, we noticed a drastic change in the organic rankings of all of our top search terms. We receive regular reports and feedback about the work that is done every month and cannot say enough good things about this ongoing relationship.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global?

My initial discussion with Confianz came after I found them on Upwork. I spoke with my ERP rep and he recommended them as a certified Gold Supplier. I had previously engaged another firm to help our company with our requirements but within three weeks, it became clear that this supplier was not going to be able to fulfill our requirements and acted unprofessionally throughout the process.

When I first spoke to Confianz, I felt a great feeling of relief knowing that there was someone out there that could help us in our time of need.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Confianz has helped us develop a system for managing our growth using scalable cloud-based ERP solutions. Our employee communication has become much more efficient and our orders are fulfilled in a manner which has resulted in fewer rejections by the customer and better overall quality control. The scope was met consistently on every project including time and budget.

Our website inquiries are up over 100% and our bulk sales, as well as direct website sales, have also increased substantially. The web work including SEO was like turning on a tap that flows new business.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We will certainly be engaging Confianz for our future project needs. What I enjoy most about them is the quality of each member of the team that we have dealt with. They go above and beyond what is required and have the unique ability to listen to our often ill-communicated ideas, deciphering and communicating from a technical standpoint the best ways for solving the issues at hand.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Confianz helped us come up with several different layout options, pinpointing a design based on what we were trying to achieve within our market through the website. Confianz' designers were incredibly helpful and responsive, helping us create the website we were looking for.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global?

We were referred to Confianz by someone else in our industry.

How much have you invested with Confianz Global?

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

We couldn't be happier with the quality of the website. We've gotten wonderful customer feedback around its ease of use and look. We've seen a 15% bump in website traffic since going live, and it continues to increase.

How did Confianz Global perform from a project management standpoint?

Confianz had excellent performance.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We're a veteran owned and operated lifestyle and apparel brand with a patriotic and military theme. We're growing quickly. I am the director of technology for the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz Global?

When I first started working for the company, all of our business software was segmented and only accomplished 80% of our overall goal. We were looking for a solution that could bring all of our business operations under one hood.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Confianz Global provided a full-scale ERP [enterprise resource planning] implementation for our company. We have an internal IT team, but Confianz was our point of contact for the software which we didn't understand, handling customizations and other things of that nature.

How did you come to work with Confianz Global?

We were looking at a couple of different software systems. I had done some research, viewed demos, found a few options for Odoo implementations and contacted all of them. Confianz is one of the leading gold partners for Odoo in the US. I called their company and talked to their CEO, detailing what we were experiencing. Confianz had a similar experience with implementations like our own, and they were always timely. The business relationship started great, so we decided to continue it. We had had some bad vendor relationships in the past, so working with Confianz was a breath of fresh air for us.

How much have you invested with Confianz Global?

The cost of Confianz' work has been in the lower end of a five-figure range.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Confianz in August 2016. We have an ongoing relationship which we plan to grow and maintain for as long as possible.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

Confianz Global is the most competitively priced custom development team that I've found. I'm generally wary of situations like that, but I've reviewed their code personally using our internal software team and have been very impressed with the quality of code offered by Confianz. Also, the timeframes for development have been impressive. We have given them very heavy deadlines, given that we rely on the holiday season for sales.

How did Confianz Global perform from a project management standpoint?

Confianz always made someone available to talk to me. We scheduled meetings without any issues, my questions were quickly answered, and I never had to wait for a task to be completed.

What did you find most impressive about Confianz Global?

Because we have an internal team, I wanted to have them trained on the software and not rely on Confianz for support. They have worked with us not just as a software developer, but also as a partner, allowing us to do some of the work ourselves. Many developers won't want to collaborate on the work because of the complexity involved, so Confianz' willingness to work on projects with us was awesome.

Are there any areas Confianz Global could improve?

They are improving on any areas which need it. One of the difficulties is that Confianz' team is mostly in India, so the time difference can be a challenge. Confianz has been implementing 24-hour support, as well as a US engineering team, so we're confident that the collaboration will be even better than it is now when those things come online.

They did train us on how we can change some of the elements on the site, but I am not very computer-literate; I could call our contact from Confianz, who helped me with small changes. Their team always reacted quickly, giving me replies within 30 minutes. Confianz recently integrated a scheduling tool within the site. It integrates with our employees' database, so we needed to have a new login system for this.

Feedback summary: 

The client speaks highly of the deliverables' quality and Confianz's documentation throughout the project. Confianz was responsive and adaptable to changes in the client's schedule.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the president and chief executive officer of Aqua Treatment Services, a manufacturing company. Filson Water is a retail business offering bottled water to hospitals. We also provide residential sales and service of water treatment equipment, including water softeners. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Confianz?

We needed to develop an app for our bottled water trucks, allowing us to determine how many supplies we needed to ship on each truck. It would be a cloud-based solution so that as soon as a delivery was made, the system would create an invoice. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Confianz developed our iOS app and performed an Odoo customization. The app allows us to send automated bills by email and handles many other issues for us. It ties in with the SOLIDWORKS CAD software while also linking with our inventory program. We needed the ability to sort our customer base by sales volume. Confianz had no problem implementing this and creating the reports that we wanted. They set up a server for us, loaded software for it, and helped with our data conversions. They've also provided training. We're currently developing a bar code reader for the system.

How did you come to work with Confianz?

We had picked the Odoo technology but hadn't had a lot of success in finding a development partner for it. We then started working with another company but weren't happy with it. We found Confianz through the Odoo site, gave them a call, and decided to use them. Confianz was one of the only companies we found that was able to program everything we wanted within Odoo.

How much have you invested with Confianz?

The cost of our ERP customization was $25,000 while the app was $7,000. We may have received a discount for it.

What is the status of this engagement?

For our Filson Water project, we started working with Confianz in June 2016. We're currently working on the Aqua Treatment Services platform. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

Confianz has done a fantastic job getting things organized for us. We've been extremely happy with our app.

How did Confianz perform from a project management standpoint?

Confianz worked quickly and provided a web project management system for us. Everything was documented. Usually, we've been the main holdup during the process. Confianz has adapted to our schedule and it's also easy to contact their office in North Carolina.

What did you find most impressive about Confianz?

Confianz has very good programmers. I'm very happy with their speed and quality. They were able to handle everything we've requested easily and quickly.

Are there any areas Confianz could improve?

The team's first language isn't English, but this hasn't been a big problem for us. We've been overall happy with Confianz.
