Greelow

Please describe your company and your position there.

Senior Producer at a full-service creative agency that specializes in designing and developing e-commerce experiences across a variety of platforms.

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

Our agency saw fast growth, partnering with multiple clients to deliver websites that feature high-impact visual design, along with intuitive user experiences to drive e-commerce sales conversions. We needed to quickly scale a development team that possessed diverse skill sets and was current in the latest web technologies and best practices.

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

I worked with one of the founding principle members of Greelow on a previous project and was well acquainted with his incredible skills in leadership and software development. I was confident that he would run his company against rigorous standards of excellence, and hence deliver top-performing developers to our projects. Of course, I was right.

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

I typically engage Greelow with a high-level project scope, timeline, technology stack, and requisite skill sets unique to the project. Within hours, Greelow will provide a resourcing plan and resumes of suitable developers for us to review. Required skillsets have included HTML, HTML5 JavaScript, CSS, CSS3, React, server management/deployment, database design, and headless CMS solutions.

Each developer that Greelow has placed with us has exceeded expectations in their output. Not only with their coding skills but also with their attention to detail, critical thinking, and most importantly, not shying away from asking questions or raising concerns if a task, feature, request, process, etc seems unreasonable or ill-conceived with suggestions on how to improve. The result is a better solution & product for our clients which has had a direct impact on our revenue growth.

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

Our teams scale between 1 and 5 individuals per project, with a mix of front-end and full-stack developers. I interface about twice monthly with my account manager to discuss resource planning and with a member of the finance team for invoicing and reported hours.

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

We inherited a clunky, ill-documented opensource CMS solution that needed to be implemented and wired to the front end while maintaining relative ease of use for content authors. We needed to stand this up as quickly as possible. Greelow developers dove in with no prior understanding or experience with this particular technology and were able to get it to a fully functional state in under a week.

On this same project, there was an aggressive last-minute milestone added by the client so that they could demonstrate the initial look and feel of the site before it was fully functional. Greelow developers took the initiative to self-organize how to divide and conquer in order to meet the requirements and deadline of the milestone, even though it meant taking a less-than-happy path in development best practices.

Both of these achievements resulted in the successful delivery of a really tough milestone and a satisfied client that has granted our agency subsequent large-scale contracts.

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

Project management is largely handled by our team, while Greelow provides the talent and helps to satisfy rapidly shifting resource needs. They are always quick to respond to resourcing requests. Greelow developers are highly disciplined when it comes to tracking and estimating their work, within our project management tools. And, they are highly communicative over Slack, including daily stand-up reports, providing critical transparency and predictability for all of our projects.

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

The diversity of talent and ability to scale up and down within days, to conquer complex web development projects of all sizes. It bears repeating that the proactive, communicative, and collaborative values that Greelow instills in all of their team members is truly unique and makes the biggest difference in delivering a best-in-class final product.

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

None! We could not be happier.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at a software development company that provides AI applications.

What challenge were you trying to address with Greelow?

We were looking in South America for product development resources to expand our business.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Greelow has been able to find excellent resources to extend our product. Initially, we provided them with a project brief, where we discussed our requirements and the things we needed. After that, they then developed our website from scratch, which they created using Node.js. Additionally, we needed to add more capability to our existing code, so they also found great resources for our in-voice applications.

How did you come to work with Greenlow?

I was doing a web search and found Greenlow on Clutch. I called them immediately, and they got back to me within minutes.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve spent $10,000–$25,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

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

Thanks to Greenlow, we’ve started getting more skilled developers to work with us, and as we grow, the quality of their work is improving.

How did Greenlow perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management has been very proactive. In terms of tools and communication, we use Jira, Slack, and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their ability to attract, maintain, and coach a team is outstanding — these resources are especially important in developing our products.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't think there's anything they can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re looking for help finding skilled developers, I recommend working with them.

As soon as I hired Greelow we did a job they call "discovery" to understand the business model. We made some adjustments on it and after building the designs we started the development of the app for iOS.

We had regular meetings showing progress, and about halfway, the Android app was incorporated (honestly, I didn't give it too much importance). We are finally going into production right now, with a lot of enthusiasm!

What was the team composition?

Since the beginning of the project we have managed a fluid and cordial dialogue with the account manager. In the different stages a designer, a project manager, a tester and the team of programmers appeared.

We have 20 beta testers using the app that love it, and we are training the cashiers of the stores.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

As I mentioned before, from the beginning we had fluid communication with the account manager. I have worked with other companies in the past where you are delegated direct contact with programmers, which is sometimes a problem. I am very happy to have worked with Jonathan throughout the process, I felt very accompanied and advised.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

At first I was nervous because I never paid a high amount of money before for these services. But once we got passed that step they made me feel very comfortable about the decision I made to hire them.

Their attention towards the client during the project exceeded my expectations. I'm very satisfied with the design of the app, and the support.

Also their recommendations on resolving certain obstacles was great. They also gave me recommendations and guided me to choose the right people to help me with my marketing strategies.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything was great, I don't have anything to say here. Keep it up and I will be recommending them. Also planning other business with them.

Describe the project in detail.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be great if they had support every day of the week. For example if there’s an issue on Saturday or Sunday, we have to wait until Monday to resolve it. But in general they were great at delivering what we needed ontime and on budget!
