The pricing wasn’t low for us, but it was fully justified — the team went beyond standard design templates and delivered a truly custom product. So while the cost might seem high at first, it’s hard to consider it a drawback given the quality and originality of the outcome.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Hot Buro?

We have devised a plan to develop an app that transforms our board games into a digital format. To execute this plan, we have hired Hot Buro, a reputable agency known for delivering high-quality apps in a timely manner.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We discovered Hot Buro through a referral from colleagues who have previously collaborated with the agency on multiple projects.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Hot Buro has proposed a 6-stage development plan for the app, which includes:

1. User Experience (UX) design,
2. User Interface (UI) design,
3. Back-end development,
4. Front-end development,
5. Testing, and
6. Publication in app stores.

Hot Buro has also suggested utilizing React Native for the app development, which would allow for simultaneous development for both Android and iOS platforms, resulting in cost and time-saving. Additionally, React Native's ability to access native APIs and modules makes it possible to deliver high-performance and native-like experience to users. The use of React Native will ensure that the app is optimized for both Android and iOS, providing a seamless user experience across all devices.

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

My team will be collaborating directly with Hot Buro's Art Director, Project Manager, Senior Designer, Middle Designer, and Full Stack Developer to ensure that the project is executed effectively and efficiently. This direct collaboration will allow for seamless communication and coordination throughout the development process, ensuring that all milestones are met and the final product exceeds expectations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have received positive feedback from users regarding the app's design. The feedback indicates that users are highly satisfied with the overall aesthetic and user interface, finding it visually appealing and easy to navigate. This is a testament to the success of our collaboration with Hot Buro's design team, and we are confident that this positive feedback will continue as we move forward with the development of the app.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our workflow between our team and Hot Buro's has been highly effective. We have established clear lines of communication, and regular meetings have been held to ensure that all milestones are met and any issues are addressed in a timely manner. The direct collaboration between our team and Hot Buro's has allowed for seamless coordination and efficient execution of the project.

The use of project management tools has also helped in keeping track of the progress and ensuring that the project stays on schedule. Overall, the collaboration has been smooth and productive, resulting in the successful completion of project phases.

One of the most expressive and unique aspects of Hot Buro is their ability to deliver high-quality apps in a timely manner. They have a proven track record of meeting project deadlines, and their team of experienced professionals is well-equipped to handle complex projects.

Additionally, the company's use of cutting-edge technologies sets them apart from other agencies and allows for the creation of truly unique and innovative products. Their ability to use React Native for cross-platform development also makes them unique as it allows for cost and time-saving. Overall, Hot Buro's combination of timely delivery, advanced technical capabilities, and unique approach to development make them a standout company in the industry.

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

As with any project, there are always areas that can be improved upon. One area that could be improved upon in our collaboration with Hot Buro is perhaps more detailed and clear communication, setting up more specific guidelines and protocols for communication to ensure that all parties are on the same page, but overall, the collaboration with Hot Buro has been successful, and the final product has met or exceeded expectations.
