Dev Technosys

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a technical lead at The Play 11, an India-based gaming platform. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dev Technosys?

We needed their team to build our Android application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dev Technosys has used Node.js and relied on our existing modules to build our Android gaming app from the ground up. They've incorporated features that enable users to play ball games individually or team up to meet their score goals. They continue to provide monthly maintenance services to ensure our gaming platform's efficacy.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with four resources from Dev Technosys, including one designer, one project manager, and two developers.

How did you come to work with Dev Technosys?

We found Dev Technosys via Clutch while looking for credible game developers to onboard for this project.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent $21,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing engagement started in July 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We haven't launched the app yet as we're still conducting internal testings to ensure a smooth go-live. From our team's perspective, Dev Technosys has worked proactively to meet our timeline expectations and quality standards — that's the only success metric we need for now.

How did Dev Technosys perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Skype, WhatsApp, and phone calls. Dev Technosys has dependable project management skills that help escalate the entire development process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're a professional team that's done their best to make the most of our funding money.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We can use more help to expedite the development process and launch earlier.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust their team to build the gaming application that you need.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of Grocially, an online marketplace for social media influencers and brands. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dev Technosys?

We hired Dev Technosys to build our MVP. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dev Technosys developed the first phase of my web-based platform. I provided them with documentation highlighting my vision for the platform. Once they received that information, they completed the design and back- and frontend development. Dev Technosys used MySQL and a Laravel PHP framework for the development. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with one lead analyst, and a team of developers worked overseas. We also had some interaction with sales teammates. 

How did you come to work with Dev Technosys?

I was new to web development, so I hired Dev Technosys because I saw their positive reviews on Clutch.co.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $16,500 with Dev Technosys. 

What is the status of this engagement?

I worked with Dev Technosys from April–December 2020. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?

Dev Technosys initially promised that the project would be finished in August, but delayed it until December. In December, I ended our contract without having received any of the code. 

When I ended the contract, Dev Technosys informed me I needed to pay the remaining contract balance, even though the website was not completed in accordance with our contract. Their CEO then got involved and agreed that the website wasn’t completed to our contractual standards. My attorneys then sent demand letters to Dev Technosys, but they’ve ignored all email and written correspondence. I haven’t received all of the code for my web platform to date. 

How did Dev Technosys address the challenges that arose?

Dev Technosys did nothing to rectify the situation — there was no effort to fix the work they’d failed to complete. Their CEO claimed they needed approval from their board to waive the final balance after contract termination. They also told me that I would receive the code if I left 5-star reviews on four different platforms but failed to provide the product even when I provided evidence of these reviews. I have since removed all 5-star reviews.  

Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business.

I now have to get a new developer and start the entire project from scratch again. Also, I now have a very bad outlook on overseas developers. 

Is there anything that the vendor did well or that you would consider a strength?

Any positives from my engagement with Dev Technosys were utterly negated by their unethical business practices. 

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

I’d advise customers to ask for references, even from their competitors, and look at online reviews. It’s also essential to meet with the technical team before signing a contract. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of FashionPorters, an apparel company specializing in traditional wear.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dev Technosys?

We wanted to develop an app that enables remote body measurements.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dev Technosys built and developed a web and mobile app that enables users to identify their body measurements remotely. We did everything with them such as designing the framework, creating mockups of the screens, and testing the system.

What is the team composition?

Over the course of the project, I only had one point of contact, but I would also talk with a couple of other people like the graphic designer and two web developers.

How did you come to work with Dev Technosys?

I was looking for development resources in India, because our app had to be developed for that region. I saw Dev Technosys through a Google search and found that they had a lot of great reviews for their mobile app development services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March 2020–May 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In terms of the quality, I found that their work was better than the other companies I worked with, prior to engaging with Dev Technosys.

How did Dev Technosys perform from a project management standpoint?

In our entire engagement, we’ve only had one miscommunication, but other than that, the partnership went smoothly. We would have weekly meetings every Friday to get briefed about the project, and I was relatively happy with how they managed my expectations.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What I liked about them is they always listened and implemented my suggestions, even if it was just a slight change. Dev Technosys was also respectful and appreciative of our feedback.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I think they could improve on their graphic design service.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

What I would recommend before working with Dev Technosys is to know what you need to get done, rather than waiting until the development phase to figure it all out. Prepare the documentation and requirements you may need because it would make the project much easier to accomplish.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Grocery Supermarket and I am the Procurement and Sourcing Manager

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired Dev Technosys for developing our online application for grocery shopping. Our goal being giving our customers a seamless experience of shopping for our goods wherever they are in Tanzania and we will deliver as per the regions we cover.

SOLUTION

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

We had worked with them on another application for our coffee shop. Based on that project that went well we decided to have them work on the supermarket app as well.

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

We had a meeting on the required features for both the UI and UX. Upon approval the developers began the development process with first sharing the designs then proceeded with the coding process. Once done we had a few rounds of testing and fine tuning of both the mobile and web version of the application.

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

We worked with Narayan who was the project manager and his team of engineers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They did a good job in meeting all of the requirements. We can't complain.

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

We used both email and skype for communication and demos. The Dev team worked with us very well even including instant changes when required during testing.

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

Willingness to make changes even when we in the final parts of a particular agreed stage.

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

Not really we worked fine with the development team no complaints.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at Brothers Interactive, which is a 3D game art development company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dev Technosys?

We needed help with web development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired them for website design and development. Dev Technosys used Laravel and did everything from documentation to development. They also provided digital marketing and ongoing SEO services. 

They completed the site at the end of February, and they provide ongoing maintenance to it.

What is the team composition?

We currently work with 3-4 people, along with a business analyst.

How did you come to work with Dev Technosys?

We found them through Google Ads and came to know what kind of services they offered. In addition, I saw their Clutch profile, liked their portfolio, and they were also responsive.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $17,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2020, and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re happy that they used Laravel for website development — It works well.

How did Dev Technosys perform from a project management standpoint?

The project manager was good; they submitted technical documents and the Gantt Chart, which we were impressed with. In terms of communication, we use Skype and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The Gantt Chart helped me look after the development plan; I’ve worked with other companies who didn’t do project management.

Are there any areas they could improve?

If they had availability after working hours, that’d be great, but there’s nothing I’d have them improve — I’m happy with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an organization focused on creating custom solutions for pharmacies and pharma companies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dev Technosys?

We needed to create a few solutions, including a mobile application and a backend panel for sales information.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dev Technosys helps us create our solutions. I give them the list of requirements and work with them on a weekly basis to figure out how to create them.

The parameters that I’ve given Dev Technosys are very challenging because they’re based on user preferences, the types of pharmacy items that suit them, and other requirements. I give Dev Technosys a basic overview of what I want to be done, and they take it from there.

Every project had its own components. For example, the mobile app project had its own sprints, which covered design and development for Android and iOS platforms. They also made a simple informational website with an admin panel where I can edit information.

Additionally, they created a panel to capture the e-commerce sales information of one of our other solutions. This panel gathers all the information needed and generates reports.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with 7–10 people from Dev Technosys, and I think that quite a few more people are working in the background.

How did you come to work with Dev Technosys?

I went through various companies on Clutch, and I saw many 4–5-star ratings on Dev Technosys’ profile. Platforms like this one are important when working with a company halfway across the world because, otherwise, we wouldn't know if we can trust the provider. I researched Clutch and found that it was quite a reputable website, so I contacted Dev Technosys based on that.

I spoke to a lot of providers before settling on them. Whenever I approached others, they would get back to me and pressure me to respond, trying to get the project started and receive a down payment.

However, my experience with Dev Technosys was completely different. They gave me all the information that I needed, they were respectful, and they gave me space to get back to them. When I did so, they weren’t eager to get a down payment. Instead, they went into detail on what I wanted.

I chose them because they seemed to know what they were doing, and it has worked out quite well.

How much have you invested with them?

We had an initial budget of $15,000, but it went up to $25,000. We’ll be spending another $25,000–$30,000 with Dev Technosys on future projects.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Dev Technosys in January 2020, and we’re still doing development and maintenance projects together every month.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This was my first time working with them, and I wasn’t sure how they worked, but they broke it down quite well for me. We’ve narrowed our process down and defined the relevant steps needed for development — it has worked quite well.

How did Dev Technosys perform from a project management standpoint?

Dev Technosys breaks down projects into sprints, and we test and review the work after each sprint. They use a project management tool where I can live-track all the work that they do. Additionally, we pay them after we approve the deliverable.

I like to get things done quickly, and Dev Technosys is always helpful, even on weekends — I’m really happy with them. Up until now, if I message them, they’ll get back to me as fast as they can.

What did you find most impressive about them?

There were a lot of things that could have gone wrong with the mobile app. However, Dev Technosys assisted me even past the maintenance period.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m really happy with their service, and I think there’s nothing they should improve on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I knew nothing about mobile development when I started with them. Anyone in the same position as me needs to be very concise about all the features they want on their solution, and they need to determine how they want to get it done and what technology they need. From an overview, it’s quite easy to say that we’re happy with something, but we may not get what we want.

The nice thing about Dev Technosys is that they draw up software requirement specification documents with all the specifics that we need to know beforehand, which helps us avoid confusion down the line.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our company is a freelancing platform in the gaming industry. I am the PM of this project.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dev Technosys?

We hired Dev Technosys for development PWA and web-based admin panel for our platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

At first, everything was fine. The sales manager was super friendly, the first team was responsive and supportive. The team changed and everyone remained friendly, but the work went super-slow. All the errors that I reported were not corrected even after a few months. Until I personally checked every bug and reported again that it was still not fixed, the team did nothing.

I believe that DevTechnosys have taken on a project that they cannot afford. The code is written poorly and crookedly. We asked at the very beginning to secure the code and make it ready for scaling, which we did not get as a result. The code is disgusting and it will have to be rewritten from scratch further. The code contains a screenshot from Instagram with an Indian man. Wow, OK.

After I submitted my bad review I’ve been contacted by the team and they asked me to specify all the problems again and promised to fix them. They fixed some problems, but the platform still does not fully work and there are moments that confuse me. I am grateful that the guys did not ignore my feedback, but I do not quite understand why the project could not have been initially done to the end so that such a situation simply does not arise

How did you come to work with Dev Technosys?

We've looked at a lot of companies on Clutch. We relied on reviews and the cost of services. Dev Technosys won by all our criteria.

How much have you invested with them?

$12,000

What is the status of this engagement?

The project is closed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?

If someone from the top management reads this, please contact me by e-mail. Because many of my attempts to contact the top management turned out to be a failure. I hope you care about your customers and the quality of your team & work.

How did Dev Technosys address the challenges that arose?

I have a feeling that despite the testing stage stated in the contract, nothing was tested by the team. Because I found a lot of bugs. I reported every bug to the team, but the team has a very poorly organized feedback collection and I reminded them about each problem 2+ times. Even the reminder did not help and many problems were not fixed.

Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business.

We got the written code and the platform in production, which does not work because of all the bugs that were never fixed. Only negative emotions and disappointment.

How was project management handled?

I had to push the team every time I needed to get something. I could wait for the answer for 3+ days, which made the work even slower.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

You should re-check all the work and be careful

What did you find most impressive about them?

Dev Technosys’ price and work speed were reasonable compared to other developers. Other companies that I interviewed said that they’d take longer and were more expensive.

We needed a company that could develop apps for us, so we brought in Dev Technosys.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dev Technosys created the software requirement specification (SRS). My partner and I decided what the app design should look like. We then came up with wireframes that we sent to Dev Technosys. They replied with an email on how the designs would look on the app itself. By the end of January, when we handed over the final designs and list of functions, they started developing the app for both iOS and Android. 

What is the team composition?

We were in contact with four people. During the initial Skype meeting, there was a person to whom we explained our ideas.

How did Dev Technosys perform from a project management standpoint?

We didn’t give their team deadlines. It was more important for us that they finished the app and made it the way we wanted. 

We contacted them weekly via email and sometimes over Skype. They asked questions on how we wanted things done and answered quickly when we were the ones who had questions. When they realized that we needed some features that we hadn’t thought of in the beginning, Dev Technosys offered to make those additions. They did this without any problems.
