I, Les Hoverd is the Director of Real Estate Company here in New Zealand and our company name is “HARCOURTS HOVERD & CO”. We are providing services in the field of property selling, buying, investing or property management, we are with customer all the way when it comes to the matter of real estate.

What were your goals for this project?

Complete the App development and implementation within 3 months of the SOW being issued.

SOLUTION

How did you select iGex Solutions?

We get connected with iGex via LinkedIn. I had a bug fixing job for our website from where our business relationship started and after that we discussed and proposed a mobile app for which I am writing this review.

Describe the project in detail.

We are having the requirements of developing a Mobile App having the different calculator that our internal staff can use for the different purpose of real estate. The most difficult calculator is Mortgage Repayment and Day between which needs great analytical & logical mind. Even app consist bio matric security implementation.

What was the team composition?

iGex have provided the whole dedicated team which anyone required to design and develop a mobile application. They have provided the support from app features BRAINSTORMING (as we don’t have a well drafted requirements).

With the help of this brainstorming we have finalize the requirements and even to test their quality of work we didn’t gave a work them straight away they have proved their quality work by hard work and they provided the demo of amazing animated app intro screen so I must say their involvement is more than 100%.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

At the beginning of the Application our plan is to stick with the app having only one calculator but after their hard work and capability we have added 3 more calculators in the application and even now working on the phase II of the application and only these happens because of their brainstorming capabilities.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

iGex is using Freedcamp as a project management tool and it makes the things very much easier for us. Whenever I found anything or would like to give any suggestion then I just have to open the FreedCamp and write it down in it and need to assign the task to specific person like designer, developer or tester. In short, I can easily communicate with everyone at the iGex.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

iGex Solutions' brainstorming skills and ability to respond quickly were impressive. Big plus point is their well define procedure from start to end of the work.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Yes, I think they need to increase their team size. No doubt whatever team size they have right now is well managed and very well experienced but as they are providing such quality work, I think they can increase the team size as well provide a quicker turnaround AND also perhaps work the same hours that we do in NZ for immediate communication rather than waiting overnight
