We were able to do over $100K in sales on Version 1 of the web app.

They delivered against the written requirements. They provided good alternatives and expertise for software architecture They were willing to change requirements in AGILE, as needed. They gave weekly demos to show progress. They gave fill Git transparency to check the code.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They were able to take the MVP idea into a V1 and generate revenue. we will be working with them in the future to upgrade the software and add more features.

Are there any areas for improvement?

With any hourly pay or fixed pricing; developers can feel the pressure do the minimum to get a feature completed. it's important to make functional features - but be sure to make them elegant for the end customer. Try to think " how will this affect the customer" rather than "How can we deliver work on spec to the written requirements". This is a constant battle for all software companies. Overall D Team was very understanding and accommodating for "good user experience" changes when something could be improved for the users.

I am Head of Technology Business for a Boston based growth company that helps startups and scale-ups reach success in the US.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire DTEAM (Django, Angular, Vue experts)?

We needed an expert team to spin back up and update a project our partner company, Building Energy had done for the DOE/US. The project uses Django, Angular, and Postgres.

We needed to demo the project to new investors and potential pilots for Building Energy, which would allow us to continue building the platform but also pivot it to in a new direction.

After using two IT providers and failing to spin back up the environment, we came into contact with DTeam and from the start they were knowledgable and ready to engage, but cautious to fully understand the problem before committing.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we started working with DTeam we were introduced to a project manager on their side, gave them access to the code in GitHub and asked them to keep track of the hours using a standard spreadsheet.

From then on we setup regular follow up meetings and if they ran into any blockers we were made aware instantly to help them solve the issue.

A Product Manager on our end, a project manger on DTeams end and two devs.

The project is now running smoothly and updated on our servers and we were able to demo the current state so we could proceed.

We have a very busy schedule on our end which does not allow us to keep track of a lot of detail on our side, so DTeams approach and workflow with us worked really fine.
