Step one was data gathering. Ein-des-ein worked with our architecture and design teams to understand their requirements and objectives for the future software. They conducted interviews with stakeholders, reviewed existing documentation, and developed a detailed project plan. 

The next step was design + prototyping. The designer created the interface, and feature set, using wireframes and prototype tools. They collaborated with our team to refine all the aspects.

Ein-des-ein shortlisted several suitable candidates for us, and we conducted interviews before selecting Alina. I am glad that we were able to quickly select the right developer, as Alina was a perfect fit for our technological requirements. 

Alina and our in-house team evaluated the existing application and identified areas for improvement. This involved analyzing user feedback, conducting usability tests, and checking the existing product for bugs. Once areas for improvement were established, we planned the redesign process, which included outlining feature updates, design changes, and workflow optimization.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Working with Alina has been a pleasure. She is a highly skilled Flutter developer with a strong understanding of the platform. She was able to quickly grasp our application requirements and efficiently code the features. She is also a reliable, knowledgeable, and hardworking developer who is always willing to go the extra mile. We would be very happy to work with her again.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

I was impressed with the transparency and efficiency of the process. The team at Ein-des-ein has access to an extensive database of qualified and experienced Flutter developers. They quickly identified our project requirements and shortlisted potential candidates based on their skillset, experience, and availability. They then conducted interviews to ensure that the selected candidate could deliver relevant results according to our project's specifications. 

Once our ideal candidate was identified, they coordinated with both parties to finalize the agreement. We were very pleased with the reliability, commitment, and cost-effectiveness of the developer they provided. We would highly recommend Ein-des-ein to anyone looking for a Flutter developer.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am co-founder of Okeeper app, a solution for making restaurant reservations and pre-ordering food. The application allows users to easily find the right restaurant for the evening with free seats, book a table and make a pre-order so the food is ready when they come to the chosen place.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ein-des-ein, and what were your goals?

Our company contacted EDE representatives with 2 separate concepts, but eventually we decided to move forward with a single application. We needed everything from scratch - concept evaluation, UX/UI design, development and testing.

Furthermore, we did not have corporate identity for this project, so branding was one more essential challenge.

SOLUTION

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

We selected Ein-des-ein after researching the various options available on the market and considering several factors. We wanted to make sure that the provider could offer high-quality development and design services, experienced specialists familiar with technologies we wanted to implement into Okeeper, reasonable pricing plans and proper project maintenance after the release. After carefully evaluating each option, we decided that Ein-des-ein was the best choice for our needs.

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

First of all, the guys consulted with us to understand our concept and specific objectives. They then created a detailed plan outlining the scope of work, timeline for completion, budget and any other relevant details. Once the plan was approved, EDE team began designing and developing the app according to our specifications.

During each phase they were responsible for ongoing testing and debugging to ensure quality delivery. Upon completion of the project, they provided us with a detailed overview of apps’ features, and even suggested improvements (for example, pre-ordering features were significantly improved compared to the initial concept).

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

We were constantly in touch with a Project Manager Iryna who handled all communication processes, but the responsible team also included a business analyst, two developers, a UX/UI designer, a copywriter and a graphic designer who worked on the project branding.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We successfully completed several important steps with the ein-des-ein agency during this project and achieved measurable outcomes. We've been pleased with the quality of the deliverables, from the initial design specifications to the final version of the app. We are expecting great engagement and conversions after the release. We look forward to developing more successful projects in the future.

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

The guys use a range of tools and communication channels to ensure timely delivery of their projects, so everything was great. During meetups designers frequently communicated directly with us, so any changes or adjustments were addressed in a timely manner.

As I remember, they used Trello and Jira to keep track of milestones, while also providing us with regular updates through email and text messages (we usually communicated with the project manager). The project was completed on time, on budget, and according to the highest standards of quality I expected.

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

What stands out most about Ein-des-ein is their commitment to providing excellent service and making sure the final product is nice-looking, secure and high quality. Their app development team is made up of experienced professionals who are passionate about creating intuitive and user-friendly apps that meet the needs of their clients.

They totally have a proven track record of delivering successful projects on time and within budget, that is why we chose them eventually. Furthermore, they are willing to go above and beyond when necessary, such as offering additional ideas or improving features if needed. This dedication to customer satisfaction is what sets them apart from other app development companies.

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

Ein-des-ein is already doing a great job with their app development projects. However, there are always areas for growth. Maybe, they could consider attending more app development conferences to stay up to date on the latest technologies to always be on top. But speaking about the Okeeper app, their current expertise was enough to build the product we wanted.

The work had 2 stages. 1 - brand identity creation, here we worked closely with the design team, they offered their ideas referring to the industry we work in. Once again, the main design goal was to connect the crypto world and the music industry. Eventually we picked blue/navy color scheme so all corporate identity elements looked very cool :) Stage 2 was the redesign of the website and application. The team suggested to combine the site with the application for a better user experience and we agreed, as it was a smart decision.

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

There were a UX/UI designer and a brand identity designer.

The brand identity corresponds to what we do, and we can adapt it to all brand elements, for example, corporate gifts or stationery. The corporate identity and the website and dapp now look much fresher and have received very good feedback from our users.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflow was effective. We set up a joint Slack server and had regular review meetings. EDE provided a roadmap early on and then informed us on status and deviations.

The team had a very good skillset and worked independently without major supervision necessary from our side. Happy to have chosen them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Co-Founder at Coalist. We enable specialized digital service providers to cooperatively engage in larger client projects. Our goal is to leverage collective knowledge and skills and foster a healthy democratic system with independent associates, working in a network of other small companies, to engage in larger client projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ein-des-ein?

We hired ein-des-ein to develop the brand identity and website for Coalist. Coalist is a community that helps get access to experts from independent small service providers and hire efficient teams to support tech projects.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Ein-des-ein reached out to us directly and we met in person in Zurich. We started working together shortly after that. We’ve enjoyed our collaboration so far.

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

In terms of brand, we wanted certain attributes to be present in visual communication: cooperative, joint force, union, unite small companies, together, democracy. As far as the website, we wanted clients to feel like it’s easy to find an external partner to support their IT team with external resources and contact us to provide a small brief.

We have two audiences: our Members and our clients. Members of the cooperative are small IT / UX service providers (companies) who would like to be part of a larger network and act united through one single legal entity (the cooperative). Clients like to do business with the cooperative and the underlying members of the cooperative. Usually, it’s larger clients with large procurement who like to work with larger companies and have additional securities for business continuity planning, etc. It was important that our brand was perceived well by both of the audience personas.

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

There were 5 people working on this project:

1. 1 UX/UI designer
2. 1 brand designer
3. 1 full-stack developer

5. 1 QA engineer

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are quite satisfied as we now have a functioning website that attracts new clients. For example, the home page reflects our vision, what we are, and what is special about us. Also, our CI/CD is clearly communicating our values visually.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The overall flow was very good. There were a couple of delays, but each time the ein-des-ein team resolved all the issues quickly and efficiently. As far as communication, we also had some small issues that were resolved and didn’t influence the overall output. In general, problems can occur, but it's a matter of how they get handled and how the team generates learnings. I was very happy with the measures taken after we provided feedback and the overall course of the project was steered always in the right direction.

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

We really liked the design part of the project and the actual visualization of our ideas. Ein-des-ein is a young, capable and creative agency that definitely produces UX and visual design on an international and high-quality level.

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

Maybe on the project management side, there could have been a few more involvements, but nothing major.

I am a co-founder & COO at Boataffair. Boataffair is a boutique yacht experience company, headquartered in Switzerland and offering luxury yacht charters in 60+ countries worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ein-des-ein?

To support companies' expansion strategy and further establishing the brand in the premium, high-end segment of the global yacht charter market, we have hired ein-des-ein to assist with the front-end web design and a "facelift of the website" with a focus on UX/UI. We have completed two rounds of the redesign with the ein-des-ein team.

The visual representation was as important as the user friendliness as well as clear focus on various customer touchpoints throught the website and overall client experience. Clients in the high end segment have certain requirements which had to be reflected through both UI and UX. Ein-des-ein team also have prepared variousl printed and electronic marketing materials for us aligned with the new deisgn of the website.

What were your goals for this project?

Boataffair in -house web development team has created excellent functionalities and features. This needed to be translated into the ultimate smooth user experience and highly attractive visual representation to satisfy our brand's demanding clientele and increase conversion. Therefore we hired ein-des-ein to support the in-house tech team through enhancing UX and UI of the website to connect the excellent features and technologies with how they are presented to the end-user.

SOLUTION

How did you select ein-des-ein?

Together with the CTO at Boataffair, we have clearly set out the goals and tasks we needed to be achieved in the UX/UI and the end goals we wanted to achieve. Based on that technical sheet, we then conducted a number of interviews with potential companies. Having spoken to the founder of ein-des-ein a couple of times, we were satisfied with his inquisitive mind, spontaneous ideas and overall the right fit for the company. Big bonus was the ability of them to collaborate closely with our CTO who was overseeing the whole project. We are still working with the ein-des-ein team on ad hoc tasks and enjoy our collaboration.

Describe the project in detail.

Full website redesign to support all the new features and functionalities introduced by the in-house tech team at Boataffair. Heavy UX and UI focus, improving the flow and ease of use for the clients to navigate the site. Additional focus on the mobile version of the site, as we do not have an app. Therefore the mobile version of the site needed to look & function on various device sizes as well as the desktop version without sacrificing the visuals.

What was the team composition?

We worked with a team of 5: 2 UX/UI designers, Frontend developer, QA manager, 1 graphic designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Having completed 2 stages of redesign to support companies strategy we have achieved great results with longer user sessions and much better client conversion rates. The boataffair website has a very distinctive recognisable style, which corresponds and reaffirms the brand's promise to deliver high-quality yacht experiences to the decerning clientele. We love how the design of the website and all the marketing materials aligns with the brand values and enhances brand recognition.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

On Boataffair side, I have overseen the project myself together with Boataffair CTO. We have had an initial few challenges at the start of the project as we are a demanding client and we value speed and accuracy. What we appreciated is how quickly ein-des-ein team adjusted to our speed, expectations, style and flow of work. Nothing has been a problem and their team is always happy to work on every bit of feedback we give them. All in all they worked very effectively together with our CTO to solve any potential challenges and achieve the end result with have envisaged at the start of the project

What did you find most impressive about this company?

What I have mentioned in the point above - ability to quickly adapt to our working and communication style. The team was always fast and eager to get feedback on board and adjust as necessary. It was light and fun to work together. Our CTO is a very seasoned professional and it was impressive to see how well the team learned and taken his knowledge on board to deliver great results for our project. They are quick learners, agile and have great ideas. We continue to work with them as we can count on fast and exact execution of all our tasks.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Life is all about learning and there are always areas of improvement. Having said that, I think the team is excellent and are constantly working on new ideas and incorporating the feedback we have provided.
