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 senior product manager at an alternative data company. We create research reports on public companies by taking large amounts of structured and unstructured data and processing them.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with datarockets?
We’re working with datarockets to build a new product line that involves creating a B2B SaaS platform.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
datarockets has helped us with everything from design to development. We’ve used Figma in the design phase. For the development, we’ve used Ruby on Rails, React, and Next.js.
In terms of features and functionality, the product is a B2B SaaS platform that is heavy on integrations. It can do things such as uploading and downloading documents and files. It can also be integrated with software solutions while displaying and interacting with data. The datarockets team has performed a lot of API development for it. Moreover, they’ve done a fair amount of infrastructure configuration.
What is the team composition?
The team has grown from two teammates originally to 6–7 teammates now. These include engineers, frontend developers, a project manager, and a designer.
How did you come to work with datarockets?
We were looking for an outsourced development team, so I reached out to my professional network and asked if they knew a development agency. I found around five companies from that, including datarockets. We went through 3–4 calls as part of our vetting process and eventually settled on them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $300,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The engagement started in November 2022, and it’s ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve launched the platform and have more than 25 customers.
How did datarockets perform from a project management standpoint?
datarockets’ work and communication skills are high-quality. They prioritize and organize development tasks, so their processes are strong. I’m a fan of the way they communicate and how transparent they are. We use emails, Zoom, and Slack to communicate and Jira and Asana to manage the project. They deliver on time and within budget, and their work rarely has bugs. Overall, their team is probably the best I’ve seen in outsourcing agencies.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their communication and organizational skills are great. They’re great at communicating their plans and what they’re doing every day. They have a highly organized approach.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there aren’t any.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have a dedicated person on your team to work with datarockets on a daily basis. Every resource expects to have a direct line with the project owner, so have an open Slack channel where anybody can reach out to anyone.

We needed help with custom software development and business consulting.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
datarockets has provided consulting services and conducted a software audit for us. They’ve redesigned and redeveloped our software.

They’ve focused on items of value to build into my code, fix issues, and test stability.

How did you come to work with datarockets?

Furthermore, they’ve made suggestions on where we can save money and where we should invest more. Our experience with them has been great ever since we engaged them.
The quality of datarockets' work has met our expectations, and we’ve seen the results in the product. They’ve done a wonderful job, and we have set them up for the next challenge: building an enterprise model for our product.
How did datarockets perform from a project management standpoint?
datarockets has been amazing at communication. They deliver the work on time and within budget. We mainly use Notion and Slack to communicate.
What did you find most impressive about them?
It's been like night and day, between working with them and the previous vendor. datarockets takes the time to care, and they really want us to launch. They have done a wonderful job.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t think there’s anything datarockets can improve on. I’m very happy with them and have nothing but good things to say.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Communicate openly and honestly about your expectations, and they’ll deliver. They’re true professionals, and they really care.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and position.
I am the COO of Stomex: the student home exchange platform
Describe what your company does in a single sentence.
Stomex is a platform that facilitates cheap short-term travel for students and new grads (within 3 years since graduation). We’re looking to create a platform that rivals things like airbnb, but for students. Current platforms and hotels are too expensive, and we also are discriminated against for being “partiers” and “messy”. How our platform will work is that students can host other students while they are away from their student home.
In exchange for hosting, they will earn points that they can then spend traveling to others’ student homes. Students are already away from their student homes often and overpaying on rent (think reading week, holidays, winter break, summers, and random weekends). Stomex lets people be rewarded when they are away. With the points system, all exchanges are free and unlimited as long as you continue to host someone and earn points.
We’re looking to create a community built on trust with students and new grads. Students can connect with others’ profiles, request to stay, and message each other. We’re looking to implement cool features that build trust in the platform.
Some of these include a matchmaking compatibility feature to connect hosts and guests of similar interests, and a “friends of friends” feature that connects people who have common friends. Hosts will be able to easily approve and decline guests based on their preference so they feel comfortable.

Our company was interested in conducting AI experiments and their use cases for our customers. For context, our customers and internal team had a lot of questions about our platform. Even the teammates who had worked a long time in our company still had questions about the features we had. We wanted to create an AI companion to answer those questions to help us decrease costs and move faster. We hired datarockets to do that work.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
I initially shared my ideas with datarockets, alongside the problems I wanted to solve. The team educated me on what was possible and recommended some solutions. For instance, I thought about creating a web page, but they suggested creating a Slack bot.
From there, datarockets developed the solution from scratch. They built a dashboard where I could connect our company’s information with the AI. That meant I could connect internal documents to the solution so that users could understand our platform. From there, they created a Slack both that I could use to answer questions from the entire company. They used LLMs and Langchain to build the AI.
What is the team composition?
I worked with Pavel (CEO), Dmitry (CTO), Yulia (Marketing & Business Development Head), and Roman (Lead Developer).
How did you come to work with datarockets?
I found datarockets through a referral. For context, I used to run a startup community and worked with a lot of entrepreneurs. We were always looking for developers, and someone referred me to the team.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent around $10,000 for this project.
What is the status of this engagement?
This project lasted from July–August 2023. The project is done, but we’re still discussing the next steps.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We had thousands of interactions with the AI solution and over 500 internal users. The MVP was released only to internal users, but we’d probably get more users if we released it to customers, too. Overall, datarockets delivered high-quality work. It exceeded my expectations.
How did datarockets perform from a project management standpoint?
They met deadlines and stayed on budget. To communicate, they invited me to their private Slack channel. We also had video calls on Google Meet for more in-depth conversations.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I appreciated the way they guided me on what made sense for our product. They went above and beyond with that. Pavel was the one who mainly coached and guided me. Meanwhile, Yulia was helpful and constantly communicated with me, providing me with updates every day.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there weren’t any. They truly surpassed my expectations, the timeline was quick, and the project was well-received.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
When you start with an idea, you oftentimes have to make a lot of decisions that can impact your deadline, budget, and success. The added benefit of working with datarockets is they have the expertise to guide you. As a result, it’s up to you to decide how involved you want to be. The team is patient and open, so the more involved you are, the more you’ll get from the engagement.
