Feedback summary: 

The team produced an excellent application within a quick timeframe and to high standards of quality. They worked in scrum effectively, while always communicating smoothly, whether in person at the office or remotely when necessary. They are knowledgeable, offering interesting ideas.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an account manager for an app developer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Holdapp?

We sometimes need staff to augment our team when we don’t have enough developers in-house. In this case, we needed iOS developers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They provided iOS development for us. They started the app, which is a 3D sound system, from scratch. Phones can connect to it via Bluetooth.

We sent them all the requirements, the designs, and wireframes. They worked closely with our team. We had created an Android app internally, so all the developers worked together on the iOS project.

What is the team composition?

We collaborated with two members of their team, working in scrum with direct communication with our developers.

How did you come to work with Holdapp?

We’d worked with them before, and I believe our CEO knows someone from their company. We did consider a couple of other companies, but we checked the code they had all created, and Holdapp’s was what we were looking for.

How much have you invested in them?

We spent around $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them on this project from March–June 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We did code reviews on our side and we were really happy with them. The quality of their code was really good, and the client was also very happy with the iOS app. The development went quicker than with the Android app, which was great.

How did Holdapp perform from a project management standpoint?

Both developers had experience with the scrum methodology, so it went very smoothly. From our perspective, it was a huge bonus.

The communication was consistent both in our office and over Slack when they worked remotely. They logged their time transparently, and we could trust them to complete their work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They told us when they didn't like something or through we could find a better approach. We didn’t feel like we were just a client—it felt like a real partnership, and we learned a lot from them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think so. Everything really went well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be transparent with them. Previously, we’ve not given all the required information to developers and they’ve been misguided due to that. Holdapp has a team of professionals, and they can help you from both an IT and a business perspective. They’ve created a lot of apps and can suggest cool ideas.

Holdapp developed a mobile app that helps present lighting products. The app simulates how elements are mounted into sets and how they will look in real life. The app includes 3-D models and extensive ERP data.

Feedback summary: 

The final product exceeds expectations. Holdapp’s design met all required functionalities, included sophisticated features, and works smoothly on many platforms. The team mathematically described the components into 3-D. They also designed the app to produce material lists and send custom orders.

BACKGROUND

We manufacture lighting sets, such as street and park lights, of various types and sizes, employing about 250 people, and located in Poland.

I'm an IT [information technology] consultant, responsible for managing a project's financing, and taking part in the designing, production and implementation stages.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We are trying to increase growth along with decreasing costs. If we can reliably present our products in the correct markets, we can accomplish both goals.

Mobile devices are the perfect medium of implementation of our marketing strategy. If we want to reach new customers, satisfy the current customers and create a modern image of the company, we can't ignore mobile.

SOLUTION

It's always difficult to imagine how lighting sets, composed of many different parts, would look like in real life. [The mobile application] simulates the way of mounting all the elements into one, complete lighting set.

The set can be saved and read from mobile devices whenever it's necessary, it can be rotated and seen from below and above, and can be painted or anodized into many different colors.

It's possible to obtain a bill of materials or pricing list, place the lighting set on your street or park image and to decide whether it fits to the landscape or not. Finally you can print it out, mail to investors or send the order to the manufacturer.

To design the application, it was necessary to mathematically describe all the components, produce 3-D models, and choose the appropriate rendering engine. A lot of data from ERP [enterprise resource planning] systems had to be moved to the mobile device to make the system function. The results were strong.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The result is better than anyone could expect. All the required functionalities were met, even the really sophisticated features. The application works smoothly, even on iPads of previous generations.

On the other hand, it uses many of the features of mobile devices, such as rendering 3-D models with zooming, rotating, and changing colors – just with a couple of finger taps. The app uses the camera, image resources, mailing possibilities, and so on. Our app could be one of the best examples of how to use mobile devices in your professional life.

Feedback from our clients, sales representatives, and our own sales force is great. This application enables you to see the product before it's going to be manufactured and placed into reality.

I suggest everyone try working with Holdapp.

Feedback summary: 

The software and mobile app perform well, with thousands of users and no complaints or problems. Holdapp delivered a robust, well-planned technology solution that provides a new opportunity for booking taxis. The team created a functional app with a complex backend but a simple user interface.

BACKGROUND

I am the shareholder and the manager of a startup company. [We] had a challenge to build and integrate the mobile application with our existing solution – taxi dispatch software. My role was closely manage planning to the final product.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

The challenge was to integrate a mobile application with the existing solution. The flow of the application on the back-end was complex, but my very first requirement was to have as simple a user interface as possible.

The application is to let customers book their taxis by just a few screen taps. Then, users can follow the car on the map and finally be informed when the car is at the destination address. The plan was to give to my customers (taxi fleet companies) a brand new opportunity to gain some new people booking their cars.

SOLUTION

The solution was chosen with no hesitation. The mobile application dedicated to the main and leading platforms in Poland – Android and iOS. The solution contains both real raw socket and http connections. The application functions properly and can communicate with two types of API [application programming interface]. One API fetches price simulations and real-time car position from the taxi server, and the other is to get user info from the central database.

The engagement lasted about one year total and was completed in the beginning of 2015.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The software performs well. Now, several thousands of our users book their cars without problems or complaints. The technology used for that was robust and a well-planned choice. To conclude, working with Holdapp was a great decision.

Feedback summary: 

Holdapp consistently delivered results on time, according to the promised scope, and within the estimated budget. Despite their location in a different time zone, the team was pleasant and easy to work with. They are experienced in development and provided valuable insight, advice, and assistance.

BACKGROUND

We sell presentation software for lawyers to use in courtroom presentations of all kinds. Users can use the application for exhibits and making presentations. This is a paid application available for third-generation iPads.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We needed a knowledgeable company who does what they say they will do without surprises regarding cost or development. We are a small company with tight budgets.

SOLUTION

We hired the Holdapp team to take over our iPad app and make it more feature competitive within our industry. We needed to offer something special without bugs since this is a paid app with a lot of competition.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The results were wonderful. I also learned a great deal about iPad app development and the Holdapp team did exactly what they said, and when they said they would do it. Holdapp is a great company to work with even if they are offshore in a different time zone. I look forward to our next update project with the Holdapp team. They earned our business.

The team works fast and pushes project improvements. Holdapp is service-oriented with competitive prices for the quality work that is provided. They could improve in terms of quick communication, but it was never an issue that affected the final project. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your organization.

We're a design and media company located in north Germany. We're doing everything around the digital presentation of companies, institutions, and organizations starting from Web design, social media campaigns and websites, [along with] SEO [search engine optimization and] e-commerce. 

What is your role and responsibilities?

I'm the founder and CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What was your goal for working with Holdapp?

We started the work with developing native apps for Apple and Google.

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their work.

[We had them develop] Android and iOS mobile apps.

What was your process for selecting Holdapp with which to work?

We just Googled them and we spoke to a few companies, and I think they were the nicest and most service-orientated company that we found, and so we started the work. We got the right feeling. The work was very nice.

Can you give a sense of the size of the initiative in dollar terms or a personnel work-hour figure?

It was less than $10,000

When was the work completed?

We have two of three parts done.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Do you have any statistics or metrics to track improvement from the project?

The main metric is satisfying our end client because these applications are for other firms.

Are you satisfied with their performance?

We were happy with them. The work was very fast, and they are really service-oriented professionals, so they gave us some ideas that we didn't think about. They tried to push the project to a higher level.

Is there anything unique or special about Holdapp that really makes them stand out compared to other business partners?

There's a price difference. That's why we are working with companies in Eastern Europe. That drove the decision to find a company in Poland. After that, we received feedback from our clients that the work is really fast and really good and for a competitive price.

What advice would you give to future clients of theirs?

I suggest talking to the service team, talking to the developers. You must think about what should be done and how it should be done and asking if there are some options that you were not thinking about on your own.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or that you might do differently?

Of course, the sky is the limit. I think the communication could be a bit more intensive. Answers could be given a bit faster. However, all their work was right, so we were not waiting for weeks, but if something's urgent, you need information in a few hours or a day. There were one or two situations where we were waiting on information. Regarding the deadline, it was no problem.
