I had created some initial wireframes to walk through the app, but I didn’t have any coding experience. I needed front- and backend development help.

What was the scope of their involvement?

CoreWare Group developed the prototype of our mobile app. They took the rough wireframes I had created and built the app. Their team built both an iOS and Android version of the platform, working in ReactNative. They offered their creative ideas and consulted on different aspects of the app. 

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Dustin (CEO & Director of Partnerships) and Filip (Founder), who was the lead project manager.

How did you come to work with CoreWare Group?

I posted our project on a few websites. Dustin reached out to me to say he’d done work like this before. He showed me some of their previous projects to look over. After a few initial calls, we determined they were the right fit. I interviewed a few other companies but they didn’t have the same professional allure.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested about $25,000.  

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement ran from August 2020–October 2020.

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

I was very pleased with the final result and took their demo to my investors. They really brought my idea to life. The CoreWare Group team knew exactly how to tweak things to best fit the needs of the user. Having a tangible version of my idea helped build anticipation for the final product.

I would have had them build out the full app if it was in my budget. Dustin and Filip were great about helping me transition to the college developers who will be finishing the backend. 

How did CoreWare Group perform from a project management standpoint?

I met with Filip on a weekly or biweekly basis. He always made a point to have a half-hour chat with me. That’s when we’d get the creative juices flowing and he would help me solve any problems we had. We would bounce ideas off each other and then he and his team would make it happen. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

CoreWare Group is professional through and through. Seeing my ideas go from rough wireframes to completed screens was incredible. I never had an inkling of doubt while dealing with them. Their enthusiasm and creativity blew me away.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I wish I had been able to keep working with them 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have weekly calls to keep them engaged. It helped keep me excited about the idea and kept the project top of mind. The best part of my week was hearing my ideas come to life step by step.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner and operator of a private high-end home managing service that provides estate management services to clients in the Los Angeles area.

For what projects/services did your company hire CoreWare Group?

I created my company website with a website design service when I first started the company 3 years ago. It didn't have a professional feel as one can observe on higher end company sites.

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted to see my web traffic increase, my SEO improve vastly (at the time my site wasn't even showing up in google search results), and convey the level of excellence my services provide our clients.

How did you select CoreWare Group?

I knew an executive member of coreware who explained his company and the difference they can make for me and my website. After seeing some of their work, it was a no brainer decision to hire them.

Describe the project in detail.

Once I was signed up I had a few meetings with the team where I shared my vision for what I wanted the page to look like. They design team shared some examples, then once we agreed on a style, the team got to work. They continually checked in with me with regards to formatting and placement until the site was complete.

The executive that brought me in stayed on the account the entire time which was really nice. Then he had a few designers that he would direct once we had the goal set out.

First and foremost, the site immediately populated with any key word referencing the company services. Then once I shared the page with my clients I was given feedback for its professionalism and quality.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was incredibly impressed with the speed and end result of the page. The crew worked fast and efficiently, delivering well before my desired timeline.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No.

How did you select CoreWare Group?

We were referred to CoreWare Group by a good friend of ours. At the same time, we also contacted some other companies and narrowed down to 2 companies after receiving their pitches and proposals.

It was a very easy decision for us to choose CoreWare group as the company stands out the most. Our decisions were made based on their high qualification, professionalism and their fair price point.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we decided to choose CoreWare Group, we were assigned to their project manager and scheduled with a series of meetings to discuss our ideals and goals. The team helps us clarify our goals, give us good advice and recommendations on the objectives.

Within the first couple weeks, we received mockups and drafts on our Main Page. We keep sufficient communication throughout the process. After some further discussions, they have no problem helping us with any changes or adjustments that we want.

They finalized the designs and came back with the completed products in a video platform which was very easy for us to follow through. One of the best things the team has helped us is their thorough guidance at the end on how we can make certain adjustments on our own using a very user friendly platform. We feel like we can take full control and responsibility of our website

What was the team composition?

Initially, we were first introduced to the CEO of CoreWare group when we got to know the company and its qualification, we also discussed our expectations and goals.

We were assigned to a project manager where we communicated with the most throughout the process. He first got us acquainted with technical specifications and the due date, he monitors the whole product development process to ensure each step will be ended on time. At the end he also showcased us the product demo to get our feedback and approval to continue.

He did a great job in communicating with us throughout the process and updates weekly. Any changes that we want to make were assigned to the 2 front-end and 2 back-end developers as well as Quality assurance engineers.

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

Within a month after our new website was completed, we were very satisfied with the outcome. We saw a tremendous improvement in sales and 88% increase in traffic to the website. The new “Get Quote Now” is a great way for us to generate qualified leads, increase sales.

The platform was so easy which helps us collect information from prospects so much faster and more efficiently. Our contact form was more visible, we made a great first impression to our prospects.

Together with our SEO Team and Facebook + Google Ads, most leads came in with high conversion rates (58%), clients spend at least 6 to 10 minutes researching our websites and landing pages.

Our small company has grown to 1 Million in sales within 3 months. We use our website now as the main marketing tool and platform and still have great feedback from our clients.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Project manager did an amazing job in communicating, consulting and guiding us throughout the process. The team was excellent in their input, transformation, and output. The team has very effective communication skills that involve consistently updating each person and never assuming that everyone has the same information.

We feel like we were always in the loop with all the updates weekly, biweekly. The manager did not hesitate to jump on a virtual meeting, call or group texts to make sure our completed products are beyond our expectation.

Coreware Group provides a strong and cohesive team that collaborates efficiently to complete tasks in a timely manner. I was very impressed by how closely all the deadlines were met.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was very impressed by CoreWare Group’s knowledge in website development, proficiency in front-end development web programming languages, and high level of computer literacy.

The reason they stand out from other web development companies is because of their creative, aesthetic pleasing and professional flair for design and an imaginative mindset. They also pay very close attention to detail which is a plus.

Working with the Core Ware Group team has been a most pleasant, positive and satisfactory experience! Their dedication and passion for what they do is exemplified by their unrivaled customer support and attentiveness to the specific needs of our business.

We look forward to a long lasting and prosperous relationship with the crew at CoreWare Group. Thank you again especially to Dustin, Filip and Marko.

Are there any areas for improvement?

In general, CoreWare Group did a great job. We were a little behind the launching schedule. However, it has a lot to do with the adjustment that we wanted to make and we were both very patient and flexible. I have a small problem in sending emails because it was not updated from our end.

We are very patient and happy knowing that the end product is so perfect and exceed our expectations.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of iLandMoji, a sticker and emoji mobile app on Google and Apple.

What challenge were you trying to address with CoreWare Group?

I wanted to build an app that was fun and innovative — something different. CoreWare helped me build it.

What was the scope of their involvement?

CoreWare created the app. I brought to the table real-life examples of the stickers and emojis I wanted, and they brought their designers and graphic artists to the table. We consulted on different versions of the art and came up with final decisions for the product we wanted to release.

The app is compatible with both Android and iOS.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with Dustin (CEO). I also worked with Phil (Project Manager). I’m not sure how many developers were involved behind the scenes.

How did you come to work with CoreWare Group?

I started searching for app development companies online. I came across CoreWare, and I liked what I saw on their website, so I reached out to them. Dustin reached out to me about 10 minutes later, and we made an appointment to have a video conference right away, which is when we decided to work together. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since April 2020. The app is completed, but I plan to use them to update content.

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

Their content is above average. The app doesn’t look childish; we can tell that the developers and designers really put their time into creating what we actually wanted. CodeWare took our opinions, perspectives, and wishes very seriously.

How did CoreWare Group perform from a project management standpoint?

They were great. We actually beat the deadline for launching, so there’s no complaints there. The team finished up a week or two ahead of schedule. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

CodeWare’s professionalism sets them apart. Their very keen to detail, and they can build almost any sort of app. They have a very broad span of skill sets and capabilities.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I have no complaints. Dustin, his team, and his company are great — I actually referred them to a friend of mine recently.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you have what you need to answer the questions the CodeWare team may ask — things like functionality, design, platform, and user-friendliness.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder and President of a Social Media Platform being released in 2022.

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

We hired Coreware to develop our social media app and have so far paid them to develop the front end design. We also used them to add a professional touch to our Pitch Deck which has been used in investor pitches. Coreware also created a video advertisement which is being used on our investor campaign.

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

After speaking with several development teams and companies, Coreware Group was by far the most practical, professional and honest. I do not regret my decision at all.

When looking to develop an app, you need someone who understands your target audience which in my case was 18-34 yr olds. The app needs to be designed properly and have features developed in a manner that is appealing and easy to use. After looking through their previous work and speaking with them, I knew that they would crush it.

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

First our platform needed to be designed which they did quick and efficiently. We are now going into our back-end development where I know they will do a great job. We are also using them for our cybersecurity, database set up and potentially a cryptocurrency development. They are a full in-house software company which makes the process a lot easier.

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

I worked with Dustin and Filip who are the CEO and Founder of Coreware Group.

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

I have not spoken to a single person who does not love the design, pitch deck or the video. We have not launched but are looking to have between 5,000 and 10,000 users in our beta.

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

The project manager Filip and the CEO Dustin are both great individuals and are very knowledgable about app development and cyber security. Their work comes back fast and if you need changes, they are very easy to work with. Not everything is going to come back exactly how you envisioned it (as with any other company) however, when you need a change, it is done correctly and within days.

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

The biggest thing was that they are relatable people, there are tons of development teams I spoke with who would try to impress you or were hard to communicate with. With Coreware Group, they understands the concept and know how to make your vision better. Everyone I have met has been kind and helpful during my process.

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

In my opinion, there is nothing that I would fix. The video that I had them make took longer than expected but I also had many more changes than I anticipated.
