To implement this idea, we needed an experienced blockchain development team with proven experience with DeFi projects.

SOLUTION

We started looking for software vendors on various web business directories including Clutch. After examining the reviews and the company's website, we sent them a request and received a response very quickly.

We started with the discovery phase to define clear requirements and the scope of work. I would like to note the high level of professionalism of the business analysis team, whose operational work allowed us to quickly move to the development phase.

Now we already have the first users who are satisfied with the work with our wallet and we are collecting feedback to introduce additional features and improve our product in the future. I hope the IdeaSoft team will help us with this.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire IdeaSoft.io, and what were your goals?

Our company has complex internal processes, many counterparties, complex transactions that we have to manage effectively. We tried different CRM systems on the market, but they didn’t meet all our requirements.

SOLUTION

How did you select IdeaSoft.io and what were the deciding factors?

I was looking for development companies on Clutch, started communicating with several, among which was IdeaSoft. I was impressed with how quickly they answered me, what the right questions they asked and didn’t even realize how quickly we moved on to a detailed discussion of the project.

I had the feeling that we had been working with IdeaSoft for many years and the specialists, like old friends, get the point perfectly. That is why we have come up with this solution.

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

We needed to build a CRM from scratch. The whole process went very smoothly and comfortably. For the project, we used Angular, .NET, MySQL, MongoDB, as I was told. I am not a technical person. The IdeaSoft team proved to be real professionals, we managed to develop a common process that was convenient for both parties.

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

We started communicating with the manager, after that, we talked with the technical specialist, and only then we started working with the project manager, who was our connecting link with IdeaSoft until the end of the project. The development team included two full stack developers and a tester.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are completely satisfied with the product we received and are planning to add several new features in the future. CRM takes into account our specific processes. We haven’t yet measured the efficiency in numbers, but we can already say that it’s increasing.

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

We used skype and zoom for communication and quickly resolved issues. I can't say anything bad about the management at IdeaSoft. The process was built quite professionally and clearly, which helped us to finish on time.

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

I should say about the team's experience, professionalism, efficiency in resolving issues, but most of all we were impressed by the openness and friendliness of this team. I will recommend IdeaSoft to my friends and partners because it’s doubly pleasant when you work not only with excellent specialists but also with good people.
