Mobile App Development for Food Delivery Service Company
“The communication and understanding between us are great.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the general director for a delivery app. We provide food, pharmacy, and supermarket deliveries, among others through our mobile app.
What challenge were you trying to address with DaCodes?
We hired them for app development and a few other things.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed our entire mobile app from scratch. This included logo and website design. I’m not very familiar with the technologies used but I do know that they used the Google API and Android. They built the website to work as an interface for businesses and an iOS app for the users.
We had some initial meetings about the project and they gave us several ideas for the app’s functionality. We had some ideas but they helped us land it. They also supported us with trademarking, brand identity, and the name.
What is the team composition?
We had a project lead and three developers. One developer was for Android, another for iOS, and the third was in charge of the webpage.
How did you come to work with DaCodes?
Some friends referred them to us. I set up an appointment and what grabbed my attention was how young they are and the several apps they have that are well-known at a national level. I decided to take a risk and invest in them. To this day, I’m very pleased with their performance. They’re accessible and we continue to work together and even though we should have our own in-house developers by now, I’m happy with their work.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve grown exponentially and have continued to improve our platforms. To this day, we’ve probably spent around $1,000,000 MXN (approximately $49,400 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in October 2018 and we continue working together. The app’s development lasted around 7–8 months.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Results from this project have been positive. Users mention that the interface is very friendly and easy to use. The people in charge of reporting and such haven’t had any complaints. We’ve had some improvements to make, which is normal for this type of project. We had to regionalize an app that exists worldwide and adapt it to our local needs. Our application, specifically in the city where I’m at, is the most successful one because the user interface is very friendly.
How did DaCodes perform from a project management standpoint?
They’ve delivered within the set timelines and always delivered when they promised due date. Any delays have been what’s considered normal for these kinds of projects. Honestly, it’s been a positive collaboration and they continue to work on our platforms to constantly improve them. They also provide continual support and maintenance.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The communication and understanding between us are great. I don’t always understand several of their terms, but they take the time to explain and support us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I haven’t had any issues with them. We’ve had great communication.

Software Integration for Real Estate Brokerage Startup
"They’re great at sharing candidates that would be a good technical fit as well as a good fit with our internal team."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
TrueHome is a small broker that helps people find properties to buy and our allies to sell more properties in Mexico. I’m currently the CTO of the company.
What challenge were you trying to address with DaCodes?
We’re working on several initiatives with them. One that’s particularly important is an integration of NetSuite ERP, which is an Oracle product.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We needed to integrate NetSuite and have it run seamlessly across all our platforms. DaCodes helped on the architecture side of things so that we could integrate it with our actual platform that was developed in-house. They’ve also supported us on multiple internal projects to further develop modules for our platform.
They’ve been involved from the start, from the design and architecture stage. They helped us and proposed using technologies that we weren’t considering, such as Apache Kafka for messaging. They also did an integration on our database with a product that allows us to have a synchronized notification system. Once the design and architecture phase was completed and approved by them, they began the implementation.
What is the team composition?
This project had two backend developers and a technical lead. There was also a director assigned to our project
How did you come to work with DaCodes?
One of our company’s directors found them. I believe he met them at a previous position and so we called them because we needed external help with very specific tasks. In the end, we chose them because we noticed that the quality of the consultants that we had dealt with was very high. Overall the cost/benefit for us was great compared to other companies we had worked with in the past.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around 300,000 MXN (approximately $15,000 USD) give or take for this project.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them at the beginning of this year and our collaboration is ongoing. We’ve actually been giving them more and more work since the start of our collaboration. We started out with just one person and now have more than four on board.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
All feedback has been positive so far for every team member that DaCodes has assigned to us. Our tech team is very pleased with the results as well, and we see DaCodes resources as very valuable people that have made an important difference in our company’s results. They suggested new technologies that have adapted well to our initial backend, and it’s easy to build new components on top of these. Their perfectionism, quality, and attitude have always been great.
How did DaCodes perform from a project management standpoint?
We’ve done all project management internally. I’ve been involved mostly involved in the design, architecture, and implementation aspects. They’ve adapted to our process and have produced results according to our initial expectations.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve been great at sharing candidates that would be a good fit in a technical sense as well as a good fit with our in-house team. This has facilitated communication with their team and makes all processes clear. This has been really positive for us. They’ve also been vocal when something isn’t working right and will change course promptly. They’re very respectful.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Surprisingly, no. They’ve adhered really well to our expectations and have executed according to our vision.

What is the team composition?
We worked with 3–5 people.

How much have you invested in them?
We've spent more than $1 million Mexican pesos (approximately $49,300 USD).

How did DaCodes perform from a project management standpoint?
The project was well executed. They met all deadlines and deliveries on time.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They provided great suggestions for the gamification of the app. We didn’t really know about these technologies, but they provided us with great advice and helped us choose the best solution for that.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could possibly dedicate more time to the planning stage so that we don’t have to spend time during the project execution on unexpected features or developments.

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there
I am the regional manager of an English-language school chain with a presence in different cities in southeast Mexico.
What challenges were you trying to address with DaCodes?
We were looking to improve our student’s experience. Before, our students had to visit a website to be able to hear the audios needed for their classes so we came up with the idea of developing an app that could allow the students to stream the audio from any mobile device.
What was the scope of their involvement?
It was developed for Android and iOS, and they created a panel for us to administrate the contents of the app. We started with audio and began adding many new functionalities after that, activities like “the word of the day” and push notifications to send announcements to the student body via the app.
What is the team composition?
We worked with the CEOs, an account manager, and a UX/UI designer. About four people were assigned to the project that I know of.

We started around July 2018 and continue collaborating with them for tech support.

How did DaCodes perform from a project management standpoint?
Their communication was great. We communicated via email and they always provided very well-planned schedules that they met timely.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Regarding the app's functionalities, we knew we had an issue that we wanted to solve but we didn’t necessarily know how to do it. They were the ones who helped us to find the proper solution and showed us how well they understood our business. This was very positive for us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They met all our expectations so I couldn’t say anything.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the general manager at a concrete production company.
What challenges were you trying to address with DaCodes?
Our main goal was to develop a platform that would allow us to trace and monitor our clients' orders in real-time.
What was the scope of their involvement?
DaCodes developed our tracking app. It’s compatible with both Android and iOS.
Down the road, we would like to add a loyalty system, which would allow transactions, orders, payments, etc.
What is the team composition?
I worked directly with 4 people, but there were about 8 or 10 involved in total.
How did you come to work with DaCodes?
I knew of a couple of apps they’d developed that were similar to what we needed, so I felt they would be a good choice for us.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve spent about 300,000 Mexican pesos (approximately $13,600 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working with them for a couple of years now, since 2018.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The app has allowed us to link our inner systems to our clients' expectations and needs. Thus, we can now offer our clients complete transparency on our processes.

Their project management was good in general. However, for the second stage, I would like to have a clearer image on additional features that may come up and how DaCodes can adjust to the established deadlines.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We were pioneers in our sector thanks to the app DaCodes built for us. This development positioned our company on the international stage in terms of digitalization.
Are there any areas they could improve?
As I mentioned before, in this first stage the reach and features were not defined since the beginning. I believe this was because they were not familiar enough with our processes. So this is something that we want to consider before starting with the next phase.

Web Dev & Design for Flexible Packaging Product Company
"The service that they give us as well as their capability to understand what we need and what we want is impressive."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am a subdirector at Polpusa. Our company does flexible packaging which is packaging for things like food and toilet paper. I manage the company’s sales, supply chain, finances, HR, and I take care of the technology department.
What challenge were you trying to address with DaCodes?
We wanted to change our website to start introducing our brand to new markets, specifically in the US and Central America. We wanted to create a much better site for our products in order to get new leads, new clients, and new providers as well.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We told them what we wanted which was a new site and a catalog of all of our products. We have three different families of products and we wanted to be able to show that on our site.
After the kickoff, they created a flow chart of the different processes and everything we wanted on the site. Then, they began with the design process. They showed us the layout of different pages on our site. They showed us the design through a link, and even though it wasn’t programmed yet, it was really cool that we could see it as if it was a site prior to development. We had a few comments for them about very specific things, and they made those changes within a couple of weeks. They sent us the link again and after we approved it, they began the development.
We had asked for an admin panel where we could manage all the information on the website. We wanted it to be really easy because our marketing team would be the ones to maintain the website.
It has taken a little longer than expected because from our side, it has taken us longer to finish all the photographs that we need for our products as well as the technical data sheet information. Because they understood what we needed very quickly, their team delivered efficiently. We thought that we were on time with taking our pictures and making the sheets, but we realized we were very behind when DaCodes told us they were almost ready for us to upload those things. Other than that, it has been great.
What is the team composition?
When they were developing the design content, we were in touch with three people including two designers and the project manager. We were also in touch with the salesperson initially who gave us the quote and then put us in touch with the project manager. I believe there were multiple developers involved, but the developer that is in charge of the admin panel is the one that we are in touch with.
How did you come to work with DaCodes?
They are located in the same city as us, and I had heard of them before. They were recommended to us. We received quotes from three or four companies.
I had seen the different websites that other companies had developed but I liked the style, images, and quality of DaCodes. They weren’t the cheapest option, but I loved their portfolio of what they had previously done.
How much have you invested in them?
We have spent about $6,000–$7,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in May 2020, and our engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We haven’t launched yet so I don’t have specific metrics, but it is a huge change from what we had. Although I don’t have numbers, the quality, functionality, and design of the website are great. We weren’t able to achieve anything like this before working with them.
I had the idea of how I wanted new customers to contact us, and they provided me with great feedback. They recommended that we do it in a different way and explained the importance of our users not getting frustrated if they are not able to find what they are looking for right away. They showed us a different way of getting new leads. They gave us really good feedback and really good advice on how to make the right choices for our website.
How did DaCodes perform from a project management standpoint?
They do one to two-week sprints and they send us reports that show us the progress. We have meetings every few weeks, or more often if necessary. Everything that they have promised to deliver during our meeting is done by the next meeting.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have a method of extracting what the client wants which I think is amazing. The method that they have to get to know their client and understand what he or she needs is amazing.
The communication channels that they provide us with are great. If we have a question or anything, they solve whatever we need. It is easy to get in touch with them and express anything that we need.
The service that they give us as well as their capability to understand what we need and what we want is impressive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I’m very happy with what they have done, and I cannot think of anything that they could improve. I think any company wants things to be faster. Sometimes we don’t understand how much time it takes since we aren’t developers.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
They’re a company that doesn’t only think of getting bigger or making more cash. They are very interested in giving their client the perfect solution and I think that is so valuable. Sometimes businesses only want to do business and will offer whatever it takes for them to sell, but with DaCodes, I felt their desire to solve our problems no matter what. It wasn’t about money or anything other than solving what we really need. They are a great partner for your company and together you can do great things.
DaCodes’ work continues to be exceptional. The team is efficient, hardworking, and delivers user-friendly solutions. Customers can expect a responsive and professional team that gets the job done properly.
