BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of engineering and CTO at CENTRL Inc. We have a suite of risk management products that help companies adhere to GDPR in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S. We deploy an intercompany network, so that instead of companies having to go to multiple locations to fill out various questionnaires, they can use a single platform to store their privacy and vendor risk information.  

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd?

We needed help with development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd is our offshore development partner. They provide end-to-end development support, including design and architecture, production, QA, and code implementation.

They’ve developed different parts of our platform. The biggest feature they’ve built is our assessments and questionnaires module. Users can create detailed questionnaires online and add a question bank, weight and score the questionnaires, put in a workflow around how to route the questions, etc.

Since our work often includes sensitive data, such as the questionnaires, Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd adheres to privacy standards and frameworks. They’ve also implemented multiple third-party frameworks and technologies into our code, such as Sisense and Angular.

What is the team composition?

We work with eighteen developers and eleven QA specialists. My team also worked with a project manager, who oversees our partnership.

How did you come to work with Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd?

I’d worked with Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd at my previous company. When I joined my current company, I wanted to work with them again since they’re so good. I called them to see if they had developers available.

How much have you invested with them?

My company has spent around $2.5 million.

What is the status of this engagement?

The work between CENTRL Inc. and Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd began in 2015, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd came on board when we were a startup with zero customers, and they’ve helped us build the company from scratch. Because of how well they work and how clean their code is, they’ve been a big part of our company growth. For instance, they were instrumental in designing and coding our assessments and questionnaires module. They understand that since we’re a smaller company, it’s critical to do things quickly and the right way. If we didn’t follow that process, we wouldn’t have the customers we have today. Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd has done a great job of putting out quality work.

Also, when I work with an offshore company, I generally expect that I’ll need to spend a lot of time on the phone walking the developers through things. However, I only spend about six hours each week giving Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd’s developers direction, and then they roll out the work themselves.

How did Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?

The team is very professional and deadline-driven. If any issues arise, they communicate them immediately. We use Jira.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive part about Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd is their team. Dhiraj (CEO and Founder, Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd) and his employees are top-notch. They’re capable of explaining what they’re doing, and they’re very trustworthy. I know that if I give them a task, they will get it done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

This isn’t necessarily negative feedback, but they should try not to burn out on longer engagements.

Any advice for potential customers?

Treat them as an extension of your development team, and everything will go well. You should be transparent with them and give them lots of information, which they’ll run with.

A member of our company worked with Dew Solutions on other projects and found them to be a trustworthy development partner.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

As regulations become more stringent and consumers’ desires for transparency grow, making traceability a natural extension of a supply chain is a no-brainer. Our company offers the leading food traceability software— iTraceFresh—that helps companies easily comply with traceability mandates, improve internal and external traceability programs, and quickly respond to food safety issues.

Dew Solutions rewrote our solution, taking it from a .NET-based solution to Java/Oracle database running in the Cloud.

Teachers can access student questions on a real-time basis based on their profile and their preferences. They can choose to reply to some of those questions and effectively earn money out of the service.

Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd built the site and app from scratch after a month of planning and ideation.

Five people are working on the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

If they had more tech service expertise in the education sector, it would be even better—they could come up with more ideas for our project.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Dew Solutions Pvt Ltd is pretty mature and understands the lifecycle of product development very well. The first month is very crucial to clarify your expectations. Make sure both parties are on the same page and then lay out the milestones and timelines.
