Empat developed a mobile app for a dental platform. The project aimed to motivate and adapt children to dental care with elements of augmented reality.
Empat increased the client's visits with returning users among their target audience. More than 5,000 of the game's monsters were scanned in two months and the app ultimately achieved a market rating of 4.9. They were also reliable and willing to perform their task efficiently.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
My name is Natalia Ponomareva, I am an expert in the treatment of children from 0 to 18 years old with more than 12 years of experience. I am also founder of the Caries Monster Fighters project for children's doctors, parents and children. Author of the book for children "Hunters of carious monsters." which gave me the idea to create an app for children.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Empat, and what were your goals?
To make it easier to work with children and in order to increase and more patient involvement, I developed the idea of gamification of the process of visiting the dentist. To implement my idea, I turned to Empat for help. They developed an iOS & Android app, also CRM system for project management. They also took a part of concept development. Caries Monster Fighters - an innovative interactive way to motivate and adapt children to dental care with elements of augmented reality. After the visit, the doctor gives the card with the monster to the child. The set contains 100 cards. Then the parents / children download the application and scan the card with the QR code and, after that, the monster LIVES and appears where the child wants to play with it.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
A positive recommendation from my colleagues helped me make a choice in favor of this company. They also worked for the DentalTech startup and it was a big benefit.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had almost two months of the discovery stage to find the concept and do interviews. Then do a design, wireframes, and prototypes like a real app. And the most interesting thing we tested it with kids. I was impressed!!! Then we did new designs and do the cycle again. And only after that do we start the development process. I also love Empat's 3D artists, Diego makes my monsters alive and so sweet. Special thanks! We used native app development technology, iOS(Swift) and Android(Kotlin). Also placed everything in AWS.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
I communicated with the project manager Valeria and the product manager Vyacheslav at the Discovery Stage and Product Development stages. A rather large team, which consisted of 12 people, including managers, worked on the project.The team is young and ambitious, so sometimes we'd been moving too fast, but when I asked for some more detailed workflow for my better understanding this problem was gone, and I could focus on other aspects of my business, such as cust journey improvement.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
After launching the application, we managed to increase the number of repeat visits, as the children wanted to return to our clinic and get a new monster in the application. I was also pleasantly surprised by the engagement of users: more than 5000 cards with monsters were scanned in 2 months and in general, we managed to get a rating in the market of 4.9.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We had sprint planning biweekly and communicate through Telegram and email. For design approving and improving we used Sketch and Zeplin. In general, the processes were clearly lined up, which led to compliance with all the agreed deadlines and the release of the project on time.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Previously, I had never been involved in the application development process, so it was important for me that the team was always ready to answer my questions and took into account my ideas and comments. The team instilled reliability and willingness to perform their task in the best possible way. They also helps me as startup advisory.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I am fully satisfied with the cooperation and have already recommended Empat to my friends and partners.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a co-founder and CEO of a marketplace of contemporary art registered in UK and operating globally.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Empat, and what were your goals?
Our aim was to create a mobile application as a platform to sell and promote art.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I was looking around and there are so many firms out there, it’s daunting. But when I talked with Empat, it was really natural and I felt like it was going to be an educational experience, and that they were going to care. That meant a lot to me as a founder of a startup.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Cittart is a mobile marketplace for contemporary art. Unique value proposition is at the overlap of both marketplace’s and social media’s features in one place, which allows to disclose added value of art works and set up deep emotional connections for buyers. We had a good development process and tested a lot before releases. It allows us to release app with minimum bugs there.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Empat’s project manager was our lead contact, and there were also technical specialists who were brought to the table as well. There were also UI/UX designer, Product Manager and delivery manager.

The application is currently launched in Europe and can be downloaded in AppStore and Google Play Market. This is the 1st digital solution for selling art, where users (sellers and buyers) directly engage with each other with specific features. Once we finalize product market fit here, we will raise VC funds to launch our solution on a new market.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
It was seamless working with Empat. We communicated daily, sometimes multiple times a day. We got together in person when needed, without much advance notice, and our teams gelled well together on all aspects of design and development. We used Google Calendar, Jira and Slack.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their attention to detail was really impressive, not just on the design end, but on matching the designs during the engineering process. This thing was very important for me.

They were really good and did what they said they would.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a member of the board at the Ukrainian Notice Center, a non-governmental organization of people united around one single goal. We’re providing society with up-to-date and verified information about the Ukrainian military and the ongoing presence of Russian in Ukraine.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Empat?
We needed website development and support.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They created our website from scratch, and it is now up and running. We post news and deliver information about what’s going on now in Ukraine. We’re capable of publishing ourselves, so they’re only responsible for addressing any technical issues and providing support to make sure the website runs properly.
What is the team composition?
We worked with six people from their team: a manager, a backend developer, two frontend developers, a designer, and a QA engineer.
How did you come to work with Empat?
We were looking for a company that could set up our news portal. My colleagues, who previously worked with Empat, offered to contact them, and that’s how our collaboration started.

We spent no more than 10,000 USD.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from May 2018–February 2022.

I'm very pleased with the consistency of their work. They were very interested in this project and very responsive during our collaboration. Overall, we were very satisfied with this collaboration and would recommend working with Empat.
How did Empat perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicated with their two managers who responded to all our tasks and questions as soon as possible. There was another team lead who discussed all staff tasks and strategy development with us and brought several ideas into the development stage. They were available at all times, even during weekends, which was something we greatly appreciated.
For communication, we used to meet once a week via Telegram and exchanged messages through email.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They always delivered quality work, and we never had to follow up on their outputs — everything got done and any technical issues that arose were fixed almost immediately. It felt good to pay money and know that everything was moving forward all the time. In a nutshell, their team was very responsible, reliable, and qualified.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can’t think of anything that they need to improve on; they did a very good job.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Start working with them because they’re amazing.

Empat completed back- and frontend website development in WordPress and JavaScript for a civic and social organization. They also utilized the client's former site as an example to inform the new site's design.
The new website facilitated donation collection and increased site traffic, which has, in turn, attracted 1,200 volunteer applicants. Empat's team was quick and cost-effective. Their project management and communication via Telegram were great; they had regular meetings to discuss project progress.
