Denovers

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder & CEO of the content Repurposing SaaS Repurpose.io. Our company helps content creators in auto repurposing the content to multiple channels.

For what projects/services did your company hire Denovers?

We hired Denovers for redesigning the experience of our SaaS App Repurpose.io as well as the landing page

What were your goals for this project?

To improve the retention rate by redesigning the entire product experience of Repurpose.io as well as improving the conversion rate by redesigning the landing pages as well

How did you select Denovers?

Denovers CEO & Founder approached me for the UX Audit of my SaaS Repurpose. I really liked what they came up with, hence I hired them for the project.

Describe the project in detail.

When we launched Repurpose.io, we didn’t focus much on the UX Design of the App which eventually kept neglecting till the point we started realizing that we are losing customer retention by bit difficult to understand product experience of Repurpose.

Also, we realized that our users are not exploring the product to its full potential as a lot of our best features are hidden behind the bad UX layer. So we decided finally to revamp the experience of our Product by hiring a UX company.

What was the team composition?

The Founder & CEO Muzammil was directly coordinating with us and two of the Denovers Product UI/UX Designers were working on the project.

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

Full UX/UI improvement for our SaaS. Not only a new skin, but also a new much more user friendly user experience. Our team has started implementing the changes very quickly.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The coordination was super smooth. CEO Muzammil was always available and we had a lot of calls and meetings where he walked us through the entire ongoing process along with details on “what” they did and “why”. Currently, they are also working closely with our devs to implement the new UI.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are best when it comes to Product UI/UX Designing. The way they merged and aligned the business goals with designing was superb. Finding someone who is equally good with UX as with UI is rare but at Denovers, they are best at both of them.

They just don’t give a fresh look in terms of UI to our product but they changed the entire UX. The new UI/UX is exactly the way I wanted it to be and I got it. I highly recommend them.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Yeh, they can make their process a bit faster but in the end, quality is very important. If they took some time to think about the UX, I am happy to give it because, in the end, we ended up with an intuitive experience and a beautiful looking product.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder and CEO of the firm. We’re a blockchain-based health and wellness institution for corporate employees.

What challenge were you trying to address with Denovers?

We just had a concept when we started working with them. The team helped us create a complete roadmap for how this proposition could be developed.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Denovers worked with us on wireframing, mindmaps, and customer journeys. The team helped us understand what the key criteria for us would be. They took our concept and put it into a format that could be developed.

They worked with our team on developing a prototype of the application, from scoping to choosing our technology infrastructure.

What is the team composition?

We initially worked with their CEO, and he assigned 4–5 people to the project.

How did you come to work with Denovers?

They had a good level of understanding of what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it. Denovers also had a good price compared to other companies that we looked at, and they were in the same time zone as us.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost was below $5,000. We worked with them on a fixed-price basis.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Denovers around November 2018, and the project was completed in February or March 2019.

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

Denovers performed well. We evaluated them based on the outcome of the wireframes and mindmap, and based on their adherence to the timeframe.

How did Denovers perform from a project management standpoint?

From a project management standpoint, they performed well. We used Jira and Skype to coordinate. We were in the same time zone, which made it much easier to work with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their founder is young. He understands modern technologies very well. They were always available. Their talented team of designers puts themselves in the place of the customer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any suggestions. We were very pleased with Denovers, and we’ll work with them again if we have a similar project.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Clarity is key, so anyone working with them should lay everything out and ensure that they set clear timelines.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Hoorayy! is a job matching platform for the young adults in Vietnam with the objective of delivering a mobile-first job search experience for the candidates and get them connected to the hiring managers within a few minutes.

For the business, we provide a more efficient and faster way to hire the entry-level and general-skilled positions. I am the Co-founder and CEO of Hoorayy! with the key responsibilities of managing the product development, customer experience and business launch/set up in Vietnam - our first market in South East Asia.

For what projects/services did your company hire Denovers?

As an early-stage start-up, we could not afford to build a big in-house team to develop the product until we can raise our first pre-seed round. In order to raise funds and bring in the early customers, we need to develop a Minimum Viable Product in a cost-efficient and fast manner.

Thats why we came to work with Denovers - a firm which has experience of working with start-ups on similar projects before. The service that we used from Denovers is the UX/UI development of Hoorayy! application for job seekers and Hoorayy! web portal for our corporate clients.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal is to build the best job search app in Vietnam which provide the candidates with a Tinder-style UI/UX to display the job recommendation and allows job seekers to swipe to apply for the jobs.

The app must be simple-to-use and intuitive so that young people can easily create their profile, capture a 30-second video to introduce themselves, manage their applications and conversations with the hiring managers.

For the employer portal, we want to build a very clean and well-structured platform for our users. Most of the job portal for the employers in Vietnam are packed with lots of information and we wanted our portal to stand out as a clean and easy-to-navigate portal while the key functionalities are included.

How did you select Denovers?

We reviewed the list of proposals from different agencies in Vietnam and in other countries.

After having the call with Muzammil and listening to his proposal/consultation, we decided to go with Denovers due to the high-energy level, in-depth understanding and passion for UX/UI of Muzammil and the commitment to deliver the high standard product in our acceptable time frame.

Describe the project in detail.

Our engagement with Denovers include:

• Development of the UI of our Hoorayy! application and web portal in the format which the developers can pick up for the development process.
• Management of the repository of the UI design for the future changes or improvements
• Consultation of UX flow with Hoorayy team for the existing and new modules
• Working on Hoorayy! corporate websites and the landing pages

What was the team composition?

We work directly with Muzammil as the single contact point while he managed his own resources to deliver the project.

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

Thanks to the nice UX/UI developed for Hoorayy! products, our MVP is widely accepted by our clients and we have managed to raised our pre-seed round of 165k USD. User's feedback towards Hoorrayy! platform is very positive and they like the clean and nicely structured layout of the product.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication is very smooth. Muzammil suggested us to use some tools such as Sympli and Zepplin which make the whole work flow a lot simpler and efficient.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Denovers has a strong leader - Muzammil who has good understanding and passion towards UX/UI work.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Denovers work can be improved if they can expand their business offer to app/web development which is not really their primary business focus and core expertise right now. This will help compliment the current UX/UI work which they are offering.

For what projects/services did your company hire Denovers?

Redesigning the UX/UI of our Web App

How did you select Denovers?

Denovers team approached us. I liked their portfolio and there was an interesting approach to collaborating together, hence I hired them for the project.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We started with a deep understanding of the product from Denovers side. We found out some key imperfections with the logic on the platform and how they can be resolved. Then, the key layers of the platform were defined and the process of screen creation started. Then there was an iterative process of creating and assessing the work done.

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

A product designer and project manager from Denovers were directly coordinating with us whereas CEO & Lead UX Architect Muzammil was involved initially in setting up the tone of the project.

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

We've got the following deliverables: Design System, The Project with all screens approved and Playground file with all the screens that have been developed throughout the project. Still, we're waiting for proper prototyping but we were assured that everything is coming soon.

Also, the team provided us with Zeplin files that are going to be extremely useful for our developers to start implementing these ideas.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We could always reach the guys through Slack. We had Zoom meeting a couple of times a week. The most feedback was through our common Slack channel

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

We were always ready to find a satisfying solution when there were some inconsistency. TThey listened and took different ideas into account.

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

That would be great if we could set up clearer goals (for a week, a month, a project) in the beginning, check them weekly so we have a better understanding if we fit the schedule.

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

We needed to revamp the UI on our web platform in a very short amount of time. Goals were a stable platform with modern UI/UX in 6 weeks.

How did you select Denovers and what were the deciding factors?

We interviewed many firms and considered doing it in-house. Denovers provided a timeline that worked for us at a reasonable price point with very personal service. Muzammil, the CEO, was incredibly hands-on and accountable from the first interaction.

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

Redesign and build-out of a complex web platform and mobile application. High volume data and graphical analytics. Front-end in React/ReactNative, backend Laravel/Lumin on AWS.

The team was very well versed in these technologies and quickly learned where needed. More than 100 screens with intricate animations and attention to detail at every step was required.

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

Denovers provided access to 2-3 developers and designers as well as high-level access to company leadership whenever needed. This was helpful when deadlines were tight or project scope needed last-minute tweaks.

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

Denovers did an incredible job under very tight timelines. The product received very positive reviews and is now in use by more than 200,000 users. It is durable, sleek and was completed in record time. I would highly recommend working with Denovers for any project.

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

Timelines were faster than we could have develop in-house and the communication was impeccable. From the business leadership to the development team, Slack was a quick and reliable way to communicate and they were willing to transpose deliverables into Invision, Adobe xd and Zeplin when needed.

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

The personal communication and willingness to go above and beyond. The team was eager to collaborate and able to adapt to our existing frameworks.

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

Fantastic work.

Their work is overall amazing. But I would recommend them to explore the cloud and data science side in the future as I am sure this will be beneficial for them.
