Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the general manager of TRIAX, which is a battery manufacturing company registered under the label TRIAXPOWER.

For what projects/services did your company hire Eximius Solutions, and what were your goals?

As a fast growing company with big aims, TRIAX needed to improve its aproach with customers in order to establish better communication and customer retention so we decided to hire Eximius Solutions to help us improve our website and appeal to consumers.

How did you select Eximius Solutions and what were the deciding factors?

After researching for a while and learning about several companies that offer very similar services, we chose to accept the offer given to us by Eximius Soultions. The offer contained detailed information, professional suggestions and was affordable, while also suiting our wants, which were mainly customer oriented allowing us to gain a trusted partner.

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

After interviewing us, Eximius analized all of our requests and incorporated them into the project one of which the main steps were deciding on which database is to be used, how the data will be organized and managed and further information regarding the PHP version.

Please describe your company and your position there.

PowerOptions is the largest energy consortium in New England. I am the Vice President of Marketing and Communication.

For what projects/services did your company hire Eximius Solutions, and what were your goals?

We had recently launched a new website, but it included critical errors our developer could not solve. We needed to correct the situation in short order. Our original goal was to fix the just-released website, but that changed during conversations with Marko at Eximius, to designing an entirely new website.

How did you select Eximius Solutions and what were the deciding factors?

One of the consultants we work with for digital marketing suggested Marko and Eximius. In our first meeting Marko quickly identified the issues and offered several options. Marko demonstrated a real understanding of our business and what we wanted, his price was very competitive, and he offered a quick timeline for completion.

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

We decided to scrap the just-released website and have Eximius design and program a new website for us from scratch. They started with the design--or look--of the new website, delivering several options, and then worked patiently with us as we refined the design direction that worked best for us.

They designed a custom Word Press template, and combined plug-ins where needed to incorprate all of the features we needed.

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

My main contact with Eximius was with Marko, the CEO. Occasionally he would include others from his team on our calls, but Marko handled all of the customer interfacing with our project.

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

We are very pleased with the outcome of the project. Our new website is visually much more pleasing and easy to navigate. And his team suggested changes to our visual branding that we have carried over to other materials.

The site is optimized and receives much more traffic. The calls to action are more impactful, and we have seen lead generation increase four fold.

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

Eximius proposed a timeline to get the project completed quickly--about 4 weeks from start to finish. Marko drove the process with very detailed emails about what we needed to review and approve, and what we needed to provide to him.

We also had Monday morning calls to review everything that had been done to date and address any questions. They were very well organized and met the timeline.

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

Before thay even delivered a proposal, they completed an audit of our then current website, identifying critical flaws and providing some solutions for fixes. It demonstrated Eximius' commitment to service.

Also, their graphic design team is outstanding, helping us to evolve our corporate branding standards. Marko also spent a lot of time making sure we were able to maintain the website, and he still monitors the back-end for us, even though the project is completed.

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

They were responsive, creative, driven and organized. I have no suggestions for improvement. I should add that we completed another project with Eximius after this one, and we are currently working with them on a third project.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing director of a health and safety and environmental training company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Eximius Solutions?

We’ve done many projects with them. My most recent project for them was a new website and integration of the e-commerce side of our business.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Traditionally, they sit down with our marketing, sales, and business development people to go over what we want the project to look like. We nail down the key deliverables, timelines, and quality. Look and feel is a big part, so even though it’s subjective, we have a strong working relationship. We have both parameters in place and the ability to be flexible.

For this specific website, we were selling a training course. This requires a seamless experience for the buyer. Oftentimes, they’ll come in from PPC ads or an organic search, or traditional browsing. It’s important for us that the information gets across to the customer, and that it leads them in a buying direction. Additionally, you can’t provide too much information because the viewer will get bored. Finally, they have to be presented with options to continue reading, contact us for more information, or go ahead and buy.

The current site is built on PHP, and we’ve worked with them on WordPress sites before.

What is the team composition?

I deal with Marco (Owner). To be honest, all things are channeled through him. If he’s not around I have a secondary contact I deal with. I have direct contact with two of the developers as well.

How did you come to work with Eximius Solutions?

In 2012, IT costs and development costs became very expensive in our country. One of my connections recommended companies in Belgrade, so I reached out to three of them. Eximius was the only company to respond. After a few verification checks, we did a small website as a test project.

How much have you invested with them?

This one was €8,000 (approximately $9,700 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

I’ve worked with them since 2012. This most recent project ran from February until November 2020.

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

We look over the written content of all the projects they do, and we look at it page-by-page. This ensures layout, borders, and shading is all correct. We go to customers that we know well, and whose opinions I trust, and get their feedback on the product. In general, it’s excellent. Ultimately, if someone says they don’t like it, it’s our fault because we designed it. Overall, I find Eximius good to work with. They’re certainly in the top five, or maybe even type of three of all our suppliers.

How did Eximius Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

They have a tracking system that we have access to. Everything is line-itemed on it and we can see progress as it’s happening. I have a project manager on our side as well; it’s a good system.

What did you find most impressive about them?

As a business, our main goal is to deliver superior customer service which means delivering exactly what we say we're going to deliver. If I judge Eximius by that, then they provide excellent customer service and they haven’t missed a deadline yet. They haven’t let me down on delivery, ever.

Are there any areas they could improve?

For them, no. Everything happens immediately, and they’re competitive price-wise. The only downside is that they’re outside the EU, which results in a significant bank charge for us per payment. That’s not their fault at all.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to be clear about what you want, and it must be writing. This is true for whatever company you work with. If they do with other customers what they’ve done with me, there won’t be any problems.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work as head of operations for Global Alternatives.

What challenge were you trying to address with Eximius Solutions?

We needed several solutions developed.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built a corporate website, a private investment platform, a frontend component for a real-time private securities trading module (it integrated with a core trading engine in the background that utilized FIX protocol and a Thrift protocol for binary communication), and a multi-instance white label application that would connect with various white labels of financial intermediaries that would feed their data and deals into our system.

I also worked with them previously with two other companies where they created a frontend website and investor area (for a real estate company I founded) and upgraded a legacy e-commerce platform (for an online furniture retailer).

What is the team composition?

They provided both full-time and part-time resources, for a total of 4-5 people with various skillsets throughout the project.

How did you come to work with Eximius Solutions?

They were recommended by a friend of mine 5-6 years ago when I worked with a different company. I was pleased with their work and brought them with me as I moved to another company. When I left the second firm and started with Global Alternatives I brought them along again.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from September 2017 until August 2020.

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

We’ve been extremely happy on all levels regarding the four pieces of the scope. They’re the best I’ve dealt with after 15-20 years of working with developers around the world.

How did Eximius Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate through a combination of Skype, instant messaging, and emails. They were pretty much working our hours, so there was a lot of live interaction. There was also a Redmine ticketing system we could use. On my previous projects with them, I’ve traveled to Serbia to meet them as well.

They’re always great at deadlines, finishing things sooner than they needed to be done which led to time for testing. They’re highly organized.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were able to bring various different skill sets to the table, which was impressive as a small company. Their technical competence stands out in their ability to handle integrations with different established trading protocols.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wouldn’t say that small mistakes weren’t made but no one is perfect. Across the board, they’ve been excellent. I’m continuing to work with them and don’t hesitate to recommend them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re not the most affordable option but consider the overall value. Their communication skills stand out and they plan well.

I always thought that a site would be complicated to manage and maintain after it was running, but Eximius Solutions provided us with a fantastic admin panel which gave us easy access to our site and allowed us to add information to it with ease. Also the thing that was surprising to me was that they combined the visual effect and the practicality and easy use for the user.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I think they are ready for much bigger challenges and wouldn't change a thing.
