dev.family

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of Mediacube.network — official YouTube partner network, which works with bloggers in more than 60 countries, with a total amount about 200 million people.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire dev.family?

We needed a platform that provides access to statistical data to influencers, automates financial interaction with them. It should allow to maintain document flow, control payments to managers, hunt new bloggers, manage referrals and implement various marketing tools.

What were your goals for this project?

First of all, to make a tool for managers to work with bloggers. Then to make personal accounts for influencers. To combine them into one platform and add some features.

SOLUTION

How did you select dev.family?

We chose them by the recommendation of friends and were not mistaken. From the very beginning the dev.family team proved their quality in solving small problems. After that, they were entrusted with a large project.

Describe the project in detail.

The original goal of the project was to automate the work performed by managers. It was not good to process tons of reports from Google manually. At the same time, they needed an account for bloggers, where all the statistics for the channel were displayed.

After that, they needed payments automation. In some time, the client wanted to stop using third-party services that helped influencers register in the affiliate network, and decided to create the client's own cloud service.

All together it was supposed to turn into a system where statistical and financial information of users was collected, the functions of an "electronic wallet" were implemented.

After we had automated the work of managers, we were given the task of making a system that would contain data about millions of channels in order to conduct their analytics, target advertising campaigns, and track "rising stars". A so-called mega-catalog of all YouTubers should have appeared with the ability to filter them according to different parameters and select in accordance with requests (audience, topic, geography, etc.)

What was the team composition?

The first task (creation of an account) was performed independently by one person, Vladilen.

When it became clear that the project required a dedicated team, the following guys were gathered: Nikita Tolkachev, tech lead, who set up the server architecture and thought over the overall project architecture.

Egor Nedbailo, PM, he coordinated the team, supported the backlog, prioritized tasks, and built the project roadmap. Also backend and frontend developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

base with more than 40 million channels the company has grown from scratch to an investment about $10 million more than 200 employees use this system daily and also thousands of bloggers from the affiliate program

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They provided us with a dedicated team that only dealt with our project.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their ability to work with the giant amount of data, possibility to dive into the project and build unique custom logic.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Product manager, universal broadcasting company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire dev.family?

Our task was to provide a full-fledged business class remote service with a good range of marketing tools.

What were your goals for this project?

Application as a business tool Sales, marketing, accounting, loyalty, feedback — apps should work for businesses in these areas. Service instead of promises Real service appointments instead of callbacks. Individual calculation of prices instead of long price lists.

SOLUTION

How did you select dev.family?

I was familiar with one of the employees and decided to choose when it was required. I still work with this company and I am absolutely satisfied with their output

Describe the project in detail.

It all starts with a quick SMS login. At the first authorization, it is enough for all the data about your BMW to appear in your account. The main section gets a customized design: the app pulls up the model and color of the car, there is a function to add your own photo.

Almost all our projects include complex integration with 1C. All purchases, events and service history in the app are synchronized with the dealer's systems. Here you also should see a detailed report on the work performed and prices. You don't need to study long price lists to estimate the preliminary cost of work. Just ask the dealer for an estimate and get a quote for your car.

Prices will be automatically saved in the app. Now you can choose a convenient time to make an appointment with the service center. The app will calculate the required number of hours for work and show the available dates and time. It is important that this is a real service appointment, which is fixed on the dealer's side, and not a callback request.

Text messaging is increasingly pushing calls into the background. The messenger built into the app allows the client to quickly ask a question to the desired department. The dealer receives not only the message but also the car data and customer service history. Additional features include buttons for quick actions: for example, registering for service or a test drive.

What was the team composition?

Dima Kasperovich was responsible for the backend, Maria Sidorevich and Vitaly Yalovchuk were responsible for mobile, Veronika Zaikovskaya was account manager.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We have been working with this team for several years, so the answer to the question about communication is obvious - at the highest level
