Phone Interview

ImproveIT Solutions has developed a platform’s MVP that lets users manage their organization’s signing authority. They’ve designed the UI/UX and used Node.js, Vercel, GitHub, and AWS for development.
The platform ImproveIT Solutions has developed is functional, user-friendly, and has no bugs. ImproveIT Solutions has been a good development partner for the client, guiding them throughout the process. They have close communication through WhatsApp and Skype and use GitHub for project management.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm an executive at a startup that offers a signing authority platform for organizations to take ownership of their signing authority management practices. This platform helps them securely manage, maintain, update and share their authorized signatures with external partners like banks, accountants, and other organizations.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ImproveIT Solutions?
When I worked in banking, I realized my clients had many issues managing their company’s signing authority. The company’s information was frequently outdated, and I couldn’t address this problem working in a bank.
Until now, this has been a manual process that involves sending physical letters and other practices that are no longer secure. I wanted to create a platform that provided companies with a safe, accountable, and auditable process. I needed help to develop this product since I don’t have a tech background.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
I initially contacted ImproveIT Solutions to help me develop my product’s MVP. I had previously designed some sketches, which they used for the UI design. I also had my user personas already mapped out.
When we started working together, ImproveIT Solutions suggested adding an admin dashboard to the platform since I had only considered the end user’s interface. ImproveIT Solutions has designed the UX of this admin dashboard, which gives me the ability to check my client’s onboarding process and manage and maintain their accounts.
ImproveIT Solutions works in sprints that usually last 2–4 weeks. We target the results for each sprint, and they do a demo at the end. ImproveIT Solutions has used Node.js for the backend development, and the frontend is hosted in Vercel and uses GitHub and AWS. They’ve given me access to all of these platforms.
The platform ImproveIT Solutions has developed allows companies to log in and view the existing authorized individuals to sign on behalf of their organization. Users can maintain the information of those individuals securely and change it whenever they need to. The platform generates letters and directions for the users to follow and runs them through the process of updating their company’s signing authority. Moreover, the platform sends the company’s information to the corresponding financial institutions.
At the moment, ImproveIT Solutions is working on some adjustments to the MVP they’ve developed. However, I’ve taken this version to market and talked to beta testers, and we’re waiting to start the next phase of the project.
What is the team composition?
I work primarily with ImproveIT Solutions’ project manager. I’ve also worked with four other teammates, including a designer, two front- and backend developers, and a QA specialist who got involved in the project’s later stage.
How did you come to work with ImproveIT Solutions?
I originally was looking for a CTO but couldn’t find the right partner, so I decided to outsource the product’s development.
Initially, I interviewed several companies across Eastern Europe. I started working with a Polish company, but after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine started, their and other Polish companies’ prices were affected, so their quote for the MVP was outside of my budget.
After this, I interviewed 6–7 more companies and chose ImproveIT Solutions because of their team size. The engineers I talked to seemed interested and engaged in the project, and their prices were economical compared to other vendors I interviewed.
How much have you invested with them?
I’ve invested $57,000 CAD (approximately $42,600 USD) with ImproveIT Solutions.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in 2022, and our partnership is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
ImproveIT Solutions has developed a functional MVP ready for beta testers to utilize. This MVP looks good, has no bugs, and is user-friendly. ImproveIT Solutions has fulfilled the CTO role that I was missing. They've been my development partner and worked with me with a consultancy approach; they've helped me understand what is executable within my budget and what's best to leave for future iterations.
Moreover, ImproveIT Solutions has done a great job of understanding my project, which is complex. The platform's system and workflow need to match the real-world process that goes into managing an organization's signing authority. This makes the platform's system more complicated from a developer's perspective, but they now understand its reasoning.
How did ImproveIT Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
ImproveIT Solutions has met deadlines and has been considerate of my budget and time. Our original timeframe has been extended because we decided to add more features to the MVP.
I like ImproveIT Solutions' collaborative approach. The project manager helps me understand the process and deliverables. We frequently communicate through WhatsApp and Skype, and they've been understanding and responsive.
We have a big time difference, and ImproveIT Solutions' staff has worked late sometimes to facilitate meetings with me. They understand my concerns for business continuity, and regardless of their connectivity status, they always have the project work done to date, saved, and accessible for me.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I'm most impressed with ImproveIT Solutions' sense of ownership and pride in their work. They genuinely want my product to do well and have supported my vision.
Another thing that has stood out about ImproveIT Solutions is their competitive prices. They're concerned about my budget and look for ways to save money.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything for ImproveIT Solutions to improve; this is the first time I've worked with a development team and had a good experience.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend you make sure the development team understands your project and business goals from the start. This will save you time and create a smooth experience. ImproveIT Solutions has done a great job of understanding my business process.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the technical lead for a technology provider. We offer technical solutions for hospitality professionals—like hotels—to help them with their online distribution.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

To grow our customer base, we needed more resources on the software development team. We were looking for a frontend developer for some of our projects. Our company is based in Switzerland where there’s a shortage of skilled software developers.
SOLUTION

We started off with one of their frontend developers and we were very happy with that collaboration so we continued from there. Now, we’re working with different people from ImproveIT Solutions. They’re fully integrated into our team. They’re working daily with us, together with our in-house developers, on the same sprints and codebase.
Mainly, we’re working on the frontend of Vue.js applications. The backend developer they assigned is very skilled with Node.js applications and several AWS frameworks.
What is the team composition?
We’re working with one frontend developer and one backend developer. Next week, a third person will join the team.
How did you come to work with ImproveIT Solutions?
We found them on LinkedIn when looking for providers. We had a first call with Vlada (Director of Operations, ImproveIT Solutions) and got a very good impression. We appreciate that they proposed starting with a two-week trial with one developer. They already had a developer and it was easy to start the collaboration to see if it would work out.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent €87,000 ($96,850 USD) so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in January 2019 and the work is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The first developer working with us was eventually replaced because he wasn’t a good match with our team. The help of ImproveIT Solutions was very appreciated because they understood that the person didn’t correspond to what we were looking for and they found a good person who is still working with us today. The transition between the two developers was very easy for us. It was a very transparent transition of knowledge between the two of them. The new person fits very well with our team.
They are always looking for feedback from our internal developers to see if everything is going well. We’ve only gotten good feedback from our monthly discussions.
How did ImproveIT Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
We do a daily standup with them and communicate via Slack. For task and issue tracking, we use Jira. It’s very transparent.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They are able to help us solve problems and their communication is clear.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing they need to improve.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be very open about what expectations you have. ImproveIT Solutions will do their best to find a good fit, but the more information you can give in advance the easier it will be for them.

ImproveIT Solutions developed a set of native iOS and Android apps for a third-party client. The apps were part of a mental health solution that allowed users to track their emotions using fixed time stamps.
Although the app is still in its MVP stage, it featured high-quality coding. The end client plans to continue building out new features with ImproveIT Solutions once they secure further funding. ImproveIT Solutions' team worked well within the in-house dev's workflow, remaining flexible throughout.

The goal was to create all needed mobile functionality on iOs and Android in tight budget and terms.

From the very beginning it was one Android developer and one iOs developer. Guys were Middle+ level with good English and great communication skills. At the end of the project Manual tester was added. Few times during the project we also asked to do some design work.

Applications were done in time and in the budget. There was limitation in the release date because end customer need to present solution for potential investors.
All was done with great quality. App is still on MVP stage, I hope in future, after the customer will get funds, we will continue to develop new functionality.

Most of project management was done form our side. But people management of the team was great. We were using Asana for the task management, the team work fine. There was no language barrier in the team and with the customer. reaction for feedback was positive.
