Decodifi Limited

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a new service to support dads. The service provides a place for dads to connect and access parenting resources.

For what projects/services did your company hire Decodifi Limited, and what were your goals?

We hired Decodifi to help us to design and deliver an app on the low code platform Bubble. They did the visual design, UX and tech development.

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

A colleague knew the company and felt they were very good and good value for money.

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

Mock screens were created on Figma. Bubble and BDK were used to develop the app. WhatsApp and Telegram and Google meet were used to communicate.

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

A project manager worked extensively with us. A developer performed the development assisted at times by other developers. A designer did the design work.

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

It's early days as the app has only been live for a few weeks but we have already had over 100 downloads and generally users have been impressed by the UX, design and layout of the app.

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

The project manager was really a delight to work with and very responsive. Using Telegram and WhatsApp meant that she was very fast and responsive. Bugs were identified, shared and dealt with very quickly, but for myself as a product owner as well as from users themselves.

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

I think how responsive both the project manager and the developer were and how they were all committed to the mission of the app. In my experience, sometimes companies will pretend to care about the mission in order to sell their services, but this company really does care about creating a quality product and supporting parents and children.

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

I think it could be helpful to revisit the overall timeline every so often and to plan dependencies for launch such as marketing materials.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of the company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Decodifi Limited, and what were your goals?

I had an idea for a new app and wanted to create a very quick MVP to validate the market need for the product. I wanted them to create a Bubble.io app with a short turnaround time (3 weeks) and with minimal budget as this was just proof of concept stage.

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

Decodifi had been personally recommended to be through WOM and I trusted that I was in good hands. After the initial introductory meeting and scoping session I felt the team understood my product idea and suggested the best solution that met my time and budget constraints.

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

The Decodifi team were building an early stage MVP of a bubble.io app that allowed users to register and create an account, create a bespoke email address and then receive incoming emails which auto-filed into relevant folders at the front end. In the back end they used Servoy for the database management and logic allowing the system to perform more technical aspects of the product.

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

We worked with 3 people from the tea. One person to help with the UI design and branding in the product, the CEO David, who helped us with our scoping and strategy as well as a lot of the product build and then we also worked with the CTO for some of the more complex technical aspects in the backend of the product.

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

We have just launched our MVP product to some early stage beta testers and we are awaiting initial feedback. The deliverables were released on time and in budget.

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

The team communicated well over Slack as well as having a scoping meeting face to face.

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

The team have a very good understanding of the startup landscape. The experience of working with both investors and founders is invaluable. They offered great advice to help us follow an accurate lean startup methodology and validate our business ideas.

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

None that I can think of that are applicable to the service I received for this early stage in my business.

Please describe your company and your position there.

HubSpot is an All in One CRM Platform. I am the Manager for the Nordics Division.

For what projects/services did your company hire Decodifi Limited, and what were your goals?

We have a sales process that we use to help Identify a prospects Needs and Wants and then align with potential solutions. We found that our Reps were never following the process correctly. We wanted to give them a stronger framework to support them and take away the need to memorize questions and the order they make sense. Therefore we decided an app would be a structured way to keep the conversation flowing in the right direction. This way no important information is over looked and questions are not missed. Key facts are always gathered.

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

I interviewed 5 vendors and was impressed with the idea's that were offered to me. I went as far as getting a deeper dive meting that lead to a brief and was confident they could solve our needs.

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

Great communication all the way through. Its hard to describe the steps as they worked so fast. The turn around time was about 8 working days. It was incredibly fast.

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

Three people in total. Owner, Developer and Account Manager.

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

We are just finished the project and I am excited to launch it with my team and others. The feedback is very positive. Very professional team and the work is top class. Not problem making changes or re-iterations. Very flexible team.

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

Very informative. Wanted to learn the end goal of what I was hoping to achieve. Time frame was impeccable. Very fast turn around time.

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

Their communication was fantastic. Always very quick to respond. Made me feel more comfortable.No I

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

No. I am genuinely very happy.

I was impressed with Decodifi’s ability to innovate and continuously add additional features that suited what we wanted to do. They asked us further questions and built elements on top of the brief without increasing the cost.

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

We used Bubble.io's marketplace of agencies. Many agencies responded to our RFQ. We liked the direct nature of Decodifi and they instilled trust. After selecting 3 companies for a deeper dive, we picked Decodifi based on the reasonable quote, friendly demeanor and trust.

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

We reviewed the app together and we showed Decodifi where in the app we needed the upgrade and the areas we wanted them to focus on, namely database privacy rights etc. We selected Stripe as our payments vendor and Bubble.io for tech.

I am the founder of Activate - A small startup in ed-tech making the dyslexia intervention process fun and accessible! We are doing a number of pilot versions in order to test out the app!

For what projects/services did your company hire Decodifi Limited, and what were your goals?

We hired them for the development of V1.2 of the Activate pilot (website) - Design of it, management of the project, and development!

How did you select Decodifi Limited and what were the deciding factors?

We were working with Taras (Erised), and when David bought the company (and I had a call with him), I was inspired by him! Also, I had had an amazing experience with Taras (and his team) in the previous versions!

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

We discussed our goals of the new version (more animation, visual design of the app, increase in number of lessons, and increase in number of gamification features - improve the user's experience)! This was all done through Bubble, with a designer (Anastassia)!

How many resources from the Decodifi Limited team worked with you, and what were their positions?

A project manager - Jane (did an amazing job)! Yuri (initial developer), and then two more developers were added to the team to improve the delivery date!

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

So far, not much! The app just launched to another 100 people (a couple of days ago - cannot measure anything yet), but we are building the waiting list, improving KPI's...

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

Through email, we would communicate for more formal, structured, and long pieces of information, but something that I found very useful was to communicate through Whatsapp (quicker and easier option for short messages and questions)!

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

The team's speed, the price, and the people are impressive in the workflow.! So far, only worked together for a month, but I am very impressed with the all-round service that they provide, and the people that are in the company!

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

If we see that the time delivery is not likely, can we do anything? Can I 9the customer) help in any way to reduce the time?
