Dedicated Developers

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a creative consultant, who is responsible for building and elevating brands through engaging storytelling and presenting simple ideas in film, digital content, social and experiential media.

My responsibilities include recruiting, teaching and leading creative, digital and production teams to craft attention-getting content. I also collaborate with teams and senior leadership to help them better understand consumers.

For what projects/services did your company hire Dedicated Developers, and what were your goals?

A client was looking for a technology company who could gain an in-depth understanding of its product offerings and then write effective content for various product listings. In particular, the client needed a UX content writing specialist who was able to write clear, concise and useful content that would improve customer experience and ultimately drive more sales.

How did you select Dedicated Developers and what were the deciding factors?

Having worked with Dedicated Developers in the past, I knew they were ideally suited to this task. The Dedicated Developers team quickly got up to speed on the specifics and the nuances of the project. Plus, they are super easy to work with.

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

The project involved writing effective content for 50 top selling products. The existing content and structure was poor and riddled with grammatical errors. The content also had no consistent style, often rambled and was populated with technical jargon that made it very difficult to read. The copy also missed several key selling features and did not clearly articulate the value of products.

• This copy was more suited for a print manual than a website. The Dedicated Developers team delivered phenomenal re-written content.
• The revised content improves tone and clarity so that it resonates with the target audience (Construction workers), while not being too simplistic.
• The copy is a more consistent, shorter length that invites the visitor to read the content instead of skip over it.
• The copy includes standard listings of features and benefits for all products so that they are quickly scannable by the user.
• The content is actionable wherever possible – for example, links are integrated into the copy.

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

We mainly interacted with a project manager and a lead content writer.

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

The client is very happy with the revised content. In fact, it has already started receiving positive feedback from team members who are on the front lines interacting with customers, answering phones and processing orders.

The client reports a consistent uptick in online orders that don’t require a sales person to get involved. The client has most definitely received twice the value of its investment in just a short amount of time. The client cannot wait to engage the Dedicated Developers team to rewrite content for the remaining products on its website.

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

We were kept up-to-date throughout the project. We used project management dashboard for all communication and we were able to arrange phone calls whenever necessary. The document sharing was handled via Google drive.

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

They delivered consistent high quality, carefully crafted content for each of the 50 products. They were super responsive and the project was completed at a record speed. The rewritten content has led to a 23% increase in sales.

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

No, we are extremely happy with our collaboration with Dedicated Developers.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m Greg Higgins, Vice President of Professional Services at Splash. Splash is a powerful, intuitive event marketing platform that makes in-person marketing efficient and drives event performance.

Using our platform empowers teams to seamlessly launch, promote and scale sophisticated event programs. We serve super high-end clients including Spotify, Facebook, Condé Nast, General Electric, Expedia and Uber, so it goes without saying that we require the absolute best product to meet the needs of our clients.

For what projects/services did your company hire Dedicated Developers, and what were your goals?

We were looking for a technology partner that could do all of the heavy lifting when it comes to making custom event pages for our clients so we could focus on growing the company.

For us, having a technology partner who is ultra-dependable and on whom we could rely to produce exceptional work was paramount. We knew we already had an awesome product, but we also wanted a partner that really “gets it” and who could make suggestions that would help to improve upon our product even more.

How did you select Dedicated Developers and what were the deciding factors?

We were referred to Dedicated Developers by a business colleague.

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

Creating beautifully-designed, high-converting event pages is our sweet spot. But development for these pages was complex and time consuming. We were getting burned out trying to do all of the work required to produce custom Splash pages on our own.

The challenge was the we just weren’t able to focus enough on growing our company while we were doing it all ourselves. We initially hired one developer from Dedicated Developers to take over the time-consuming development.

They proved so instrumental to our growth that we quickly hired a second full time developer. Within a year we had scaled up to a 5-developer team, all from Dedicated Developers.

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

We have a team of 5 front end developers and a QA engineer from Dedicated Developers.

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

By utilizing Dedicated Developers, we were able to implement more complex designs faster and stay focused on what matters most - growing our company. And the pages they create for us are reliably excellent.

Dedicated Developers team helped us develop custom Splash websites for our super high-end clients including Spotify, Facebook, Condé Nast, General Electric, Expedia and Uber.

They consistently exceed our (extremely high) expectations. Their incredible work has also made our Splash technology better and better over the years. They have helped us identify gaps in our new feature development.

Their developers provided a lot of suggestions to improve our platform, many of which are now core features for our product. They’ve been a massive help to me and our entire team.

With Dedicated Developers help, we've grown our software business to $20,000,000+ in recurring revenue and over 800 clients.

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

We used JIRA project management system which makes communication and regular follow up reliable. We also have some of our own project management tools that Dedicated Developers’ team uses, and they have completely adjusted to our companies’ communication style.

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

They consistently exceed our (extremely high) expectations. Their incredible work has also made our Splash technology better and better over the years. They’ve been a massive help to me and our entire team.

When looking back at all the projects Dedicated Developers has worked with us on, one thing stands out – the consistent excellence of the work they provide. Our clients also love how fast we’re able to push out new customer-centric features and it’s thanks to Dedicated Developers!

We feel beyond fortunate to have found a technology partner in Dedicated Developers. Their loyalty, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail shine through every one of the pages they deliver each of which is pixel-perfect, exactly what we and our clients need.

They just get it. They are the best and I am so grateful! Simply put: we would not be where we are without the Dedicated Developers team.

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

They were super easy to work with and I couldn’t imagine having another technology partner. We are very happy with our collaboration.

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

We used to use an off-the-shelf CRM platform for our clients that was restricted to have many customizations. We needed a solid technical partner who also understood online marketing and sales as well in order to develop a customized CRM platform with unique new custom features based upon our client’s business requirements.

Dedicated Developers team helped us build email marketing integration, appointment management, SMS follow up, voice drop follow up, lead scoring and tracking along with many other custom features that our clients requested. They also helped us with putting together a solid marketing and automated follow up system that has greatly improved our client’s sales funnels.

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

I worked with a project manager, technical architect, UI Architect and the lead developer.

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

Our clients now spend a fraction of time as compared to what they used to in past to properly track and convert their leads into customers. The new customized follow-up and automation marketing process is much more streamlined to perfectly suit our client’s business.

We have seen a huge increase in the number of booked appointments and sales for a variety of our clients without increasing their advertising budget or expanding their sales team.

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

They have an easy to navigate project management system which made communication easy to access and track.

We hired Dedicated Developers to redesign and launch our Ecommerce website, so we could effectively showcase and sell curriculum products and resources for educators.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal at Super Cool Learning Tools is to create a world class Ecommerce marketplace for educators to help with materials that align with state standards and meet the needs of differentiated student learning styles.

How did you select this vendor?

After working feverishly with many developers over the course of several years, we felt hopeless because our vision seemed too foreign and unattainable. Other companies we worked with:

• Were unable to deliver the specific design and functionality elements that we envisioned
• Lacked the drive and passion to follow completely through with details that were instrumental to the foundation of our goals for the company
• Were unable to effectively problem-solve
• Did not have the stamina and determination to get us were we needed to be.

These were just a few problems we experienced.

In desperation, we gave up on trying to work with offshore developers and perhaps, the answer was right next door! That’s when our Google search led us to Dedicated Developers, a global company with one of the development offices based in Atlanta.

It was with great fortune that we came upon Dedicated Developers, and that is when it all began for our company. Our team met the Dedicated Developers development team at their Atlanta-based office. The ongoing conversation on that fateful day led to the development of the online marketplace that would reach educators and meet the needs of students around the world.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We wanted to have a website that would beautifully showcase classroom resources, so school teachers can easily find what they need. We continue to add new features and the development is on-going.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project managers at Dedicated Developers are skillful listeners, patient problem-solvers, and visionaries. With the synthesis of these ingredients, this project became a unique platform among competitors.

When assigned a project manager to work on a specific site, the client is matched with the knowledge and expertise of the project manager that would take the individual assignment to its highest level.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Dedicated Developers' attention to detail, as well as care and concern for customer satisfaction, was unlike any company we've worked with. The project management dashboard platform is absolutely amazing! It kept all correspondence organized and available 24/7. The communication between all project employees allowed open and engaged exchanges always!

Are there any areas for improvement?

We searched for Dedicated Developers online. It was easy to get in touch with their team which itself was a game changer. Many companies we contacted did not even return our phone call or messages. We were able to book an appointment with Dedicated Developers team online which is amazing.

Describe the project in detail.

Our mobile application is a platform for ‘proximity-based triggering events, utilizing a user-facing, native mobile app and a backend website for system administration. There will be two main ‘types’ of these reminders. Reminder lists for stores, which can be shared among users & Peer-to-Peer reminders. Both can be geospatial based / activated. The app will allow its users to create, share, and maintain lists of items that they will be reminded of when in proximity to that store or user. All items available within the mobile app will be managed by the system administrator via a separate website.

We had an overall project manager, a UX analyst, a UI/UX designer, a web developer, an Android app developer and an iOS app developer.

I'm the Hardware Architect and Consultant of a Transport Tracking firm within the Transportation sector in North America. We are a company that provides wireless GPS enabled tracking devices for rail, trucking, and marine transport sector. Our sensors connect the transportation sector to the Internet of Things (IoT)

For what projects/services did your company hire Dedicated Developers?

We hired Dedicated Developers to design and build our GPS enabled hardware devices, the web application and iOS and Android apps to monitor the devices. It was challenging to find a development company that had the end to end skills we needed for this project. Lots of companies had the software skills, but not very many had the hardware skills. We were thrilled when we found Dedicated Developers, because they were able to do both for us.

What were your goals for this project?

To develop a fully functional hardware and software solution (web application, and mobile application for iOS and Android platform).

How did you select this vendor?

We found them online and we were pleased with our initial interactions with their team. We right away felt comfortable with their knowledge, experience, and team composition.

Describe the project in detail.

They developed the hardware, the web application and the iOS and Android mobile apps for us. The hardware they created are sensors used to monitor a wide variety of things for the transport industry. The sensors can monitor speed, acceleration, elevation, breakdown, GPS route coordinates, and then transmit all the data through the cellular network. Our clients can see all the data points within the centralized application control panel to fully monitor their cargo. Their team did a lot of initial research and were able to suggest hardware components and sensors that would be the best configurations that would reduce the costs during mass production. They helped us figure out the best components that are reliable, durable and cost effective, so the total hard costs for each finished sensor goes down, and profits go up. They were able to bring the total cost of each unit down by 21%. They were creative while building the prototype sensors, which they were able to do quickly within a couple months. The software they created to run and monitor the sensors uses the latest cutting-edge technology, and connects our industry to the Internet of Things, which is fast, efficient, responsive and very well designed.

What was the team composition?

Our team consisted of a very experienced and qualified hardware architect who had a PhD degree in Electrical engineering, system design engineers, UI/UX designers, highly skilled web and mobile app developers, a quality assurance analyst and a project manager.

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

The hardware sensors they created for us are top notch, and the monitoring software to run and monitor them is robust. Partnering with Dedicated Developers team has enabled our company to be the cutting-edge leader in our industry.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The team uses a project management software that is intuitive. We were also able to conveniently book calls to talk to their team live and they had excellent communication through emails. They were quick to answer any of our questions and always were patient to not only implement our feedback but also provide their insights from their experience. The whole development process was transparent and easy to keep track of.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their ability to bring together a hardware and software team that worked so well together was impressive. Their initial research allowed them to fully understand our needs and what we were trying to achieve in the short, medium and long term.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They did a very good job and our entire team is very pleased with their collaboration.

I'm the CEO and founder of transportation company.

What was the team composition?

One project manager and UI/UX designer.

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

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They had a project management dashboard and that allowed us the ease to access ongoing project discussions when it was convenient and even while we were on the go! Also, my time was very limited in when I could work on this and Dedicated Developers were so mindful of that "window", which made it even easier to work with them.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

While working with them, we really liked that we never felt rushed in terms of providing feedback. Also, we could openly discuss our questions and ideas about the project on the phone. We loved the fact they were always available to talk live and were prompt in responding to our questions or ideas via messages, and they were so accommodating in working with my tight schedule.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Not really - The process was so smooth and easy, plus they were so supportive as well.
