For what projects/services did your company hire Indeema Software Inc.?
We hired this team to update our secondary product, ContactAlert.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
Multi-month project that took a beta software version and moved it to a new platform and codebase, while also upgrading capabilities.
How many resources from the Indeema Software Inc. team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Up to 8 different people from Indeema worked on this project, from a senior engineer and project manager down to working level developers.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We, the client, could have done a better job of managing the timeline prior to war breaking out in Ukraine (our Indeema team is in Ukraine). Once the war broke out, we abandoned our timeline out of respect for the challenges our team was facing there. Not their fault and we couldn't be happier with how hard they continued to work to deliver the final software in what was clearly a stressful and dangerous time for them.

Web Development for Cosmetic Rewards Platform
"Indeema Software is the best company I have ever worked with."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the founder of a rewards platform that serves the cosmetic surgery industry.
For what projects/services did your company hire Indeema Software?
We hired Indeema Software to build a web-based admin portal for SaaS distribution.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goal was to build a user-friendly interface that employees could learn quickly. This is a huge feat since they aren't the most tech-savvy group.
How did you select this vendor?
After three years of dealing with both free and expensive labor, managing my own projects, and almost abandoning my concept, I finally found Indeema Software. They had excellent reviews, so I set up a call with them, and I'm extremely happy that I did.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
Indeema Software built our admin portal in Angular, Node, and C5. They worked out the kinks at the beginning and understood that leading from the frontend saves time and energy.
What was the team composition?
They did a fantastic job setting up teams. We have a project manager, a QA analyst, and a talented engineer. More people work on the project, but I deal with those three on a daily basis.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Our mobile app was accepted to the App Store yesterday. However, some potential customers have already seen it and love its simplicity.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
Indeema Software is the best company I have ever worked with. We communicate using Slack to design, discuss, and execute each sprint. If I have questions, we video chat. Our workflow is incredibly simple. Building software is complicated, and failing to articulate goals precisely leaves too much room for interpretation.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Indeema Software can do anything, from HTML to AI. I also love the post-sprint calls in which we discuss the results. They're truly excellent. Plus, their CEO has a lot of experience and has given me great business advice.
Are there any areas for improvement?
They speak great English but be sure to speak clearly about complex concepts.

Mobile App for Wine Brokerage Company
"They went above and beyond for us—their goal was always to please the customer and deliver quality work."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I run Wine Societies, an online fine wine broker. We connect buyers and sellers through our mobile platform.
What challenge were you trying to address with Indeema Software?
We needed a team to provide quality software development within our budget. We hired Indeema Software to complete a semi-functioning app another company developed for us.
What was the scope of their involvement?
The first step of the project was to stabilize the existing version and fix bugs. Their team spent time learning the code and analyzing the needs of the platform. Once the app was stable enough, they began adding new features. These new additions enhanced the e-commerce aspect of the platform and allowed users to buy wine, add ratings, and create profiles. Their team improved the customer experience and transaction flows within the app.
What is the team composition?
Indeema Software provided a project manager and a customer relations manager, and I spoke to them on a weekly basis. There were three engineers working behind the scenes, one each for the backend, iOS, and Android development.
How did you come to work with Indeema Software?
We looked at several vendors worldwide and found that Indeema Softwre offered strong quality work and had good pricing. We also had positive experiences with Eastern European companies, so that helped us make our decision.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent between $15,000–$20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from November 2016–September 2017.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We were able to successfully deploy the stabilized version of the app to our customer base. We received positive feedback and users are happy with the easy transaction flow and rating system. The app has been stable since the launch.
How did Indeema Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Early in the process, they managed the project effectively. It was clear they understood our app and our needs. Although there was a learning curve because they weren’t familiar with the wine industry and the payment processing system, they delivered everything as expected. The work took slightly longer than I anticipated, but they made up for that by being available whenever we needed to discuss our needs.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They went above and beyond for us—their goal was always to please the customer and deliver quality work. They were easy to interact with and ensured we were satisfied with their progress. Their team was accommodating to our time differences, which we appreciated.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Clearer estimates from the beginning of the project would be useful. Additionally, we didn’t know they weren’t familiar with the payment processing system we were using until they had spent a lot of time learning it. Even though the final work was strong, we’d like to know of their struggles ahead of time.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
To ensure they are a match for you, do some research into their background and expertise before choosing them for your engagement.

IoT Wep App Dev for SCADA Software Company
"We value their full-stack involvement and their top-notch, bug-free work."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m an executive at Viking SCADA. We provide SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) hardware and software products to customers.
What challenge were you trying to address with Indeema Software?
We engaged Indeema Software to create an IoT solution to bridge our hardware with a web-based software solution. We also wanted to move from a PC-based application to a web app.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We first hosted a one-month planning period. After lots of back-and-forth collaboration between our team and Indeema Software, we produced a 40-page document on the project’s requirements and timeline.
Development on the web-based IoT application lasted 30 weeks. Indeema Software used MQTT and Lua to put together the IoT application. The app allows users to make a widget customized to their needs.
What is the team composition?
We work with a dedicated project manager who handles day-to-day communication. The team also comprises a billing person, a frontend developer, a backend developer, a QA/QC person, and a designer.
How did you come to work with Indeema Software?
We looked for vendors on a freelancer website. We provided rough guidelines on what we were looking for as well as some example templates. There were ten serious bidders that we considered for the project. Indeema Software stood out by offering a full stack of services and being willing to collaborate before the project began.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in April 2018, and the project is ongoing. 95% of the development is complete; we’re finishing a few satellite projects now.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
It’s still too early to tell, but Indeema Software has done an excellent job of testing everything and making sure that every function lines up with our expectations. Their designs also blew us away.
How did Indeema Software perform from a project management standpoint?
The team is highly responsive and organized, but their timeliness could be improved. Occasionally, the project has run into delays because of unexpected breaks, holidays, or vacations. We often received only a few days’ notice, which is rather abrupt. Otherwise, the project has stayed on schedule. We communicate through Skype and use Google Docs to deliver files.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We value their full-stack involvement and their top-notch, bug-free work. Indeema Software uses agile management and catalogs their scheduled tasks clearly for their team. Their organization is excellent.
Are there any areas they could improve?
As they’ve grown, communication has become less than clear at times. It may help them to have a logbook where they take 1-2 minutes every day to record a project’s status and to-dos going forward. This process may help clients like me in the future.
Any advice for potential customers?
Being knowledgeable about technology and able to provide examples will lead to a successful project.

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of Solar Manager. We’re developing the next generation of connected devices for managing photovoltaic production, enabling people to use as much energy produced by cells in their homes as possible, with the use of a device and cloud infrastructure.
What challenge were you trying to address with Indeema Software?
We engaged with Indeema Software to develop our cloud platform and a part of the embedded code within the home IoT device.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We have a web frontend and applications. The app is designed for the installer and admin sections to simplify the connection of the devices. The web portion includes an installer for the PV system, an end-user component for visualizing data and changing settings, and an admin and support role. As an admin, users can review the data of any device.
The embedded platform uses C code, and the backend uses AWS as a provider. We’ve used MQTT to connect to the server side, and MongoDB to store data. The frontend is a standard browser interface, while the apps connect to the backend.
What is the team composition?
We work with a project manager and have teams for the app, web frontend, backend, and embedded portions of the product. I sometimes speak with their managing director.
How did you come to work with Indeema Software?
I searched for a few companies on Clutch and wrote to about six of them before going through a standard procurement process.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $60,000–$70,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Indeema Software in June 2018, and the work is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Results and feedback are positive. We have a production environment with between 20–30 users. The frontend is visually-pleasing. There were a few issues with connectivity, but those will be fixed soon.
How did Indeema Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Along with biweekly calls, we use Slack for communication. Work is completed in sprints and we have a continuous delivery process. Indeema Software keeps our team updated, returning messages quickly. There have been some misunderstandings, but that’s normal with any collaboration. Their team is willing to fix any problems.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I appreciate their commitment to searching for solutions and making the client happy.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I believe some IoT issues could’ve been solved quicker, but maybe the problems weren’t as fundamental as I thought.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
It’s vital to discuss and align on requirements, implement a plan, agree on timelines, and then stick to those.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the CTO of a logistics provider in the IT world, with more than 30 employees. We do technology innovation and logistics transportation for the US and Canada markets.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Indeema Software?
Indeema Software help us to build projects in the trucking business.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Sometimes we outsource companies to help us out, especially if we have a client who needs to get it done really fast. Indeema have been helpful and have been able to get it done fast, but it was a challenge to complete these projects in a short period of time. They react fast, understand our needs, and help us build the project in such a short period of time, which is why we wanted to work with them. Our customer was really happy with the work.
The project was developed for iOS and Android, in addition they helped us with web aspect, which is .NET. They helped us a little bit to build the payment system as well as Square.
What is the team dynamic?
We had 5 people involved in the project.
How did you come to work with Indeema Software?
They were recommended to us by a different provider. After coming across Indeema, we liked what we saw in terms of the work they had done. After speaking with them, we knew they would be able to handle the project, and moved forward from there.
How much have you invested in them?
$65,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in February 2017, and the work is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We have a lot of people using it and has been good so far, and working well. With Indeema it was a smooth project and process. They are very responsible and accessible; you can reach them pretty much 24/7. If something needs to be done, it doesn’t matter that they are in a different time zone, they always dedicate a project manager who can answer the call, or send a chat message back.
How did Indeema Software perform from a project management standpoint?
They use Redmine for project management, and they also try to be really scalable. We are able to see updates on current tasks. There have been no issues in the processing or creating a job or task, and they always ask what works for us. We moved to Google not too long ago, and they have been straightforward in working on our terms and what works the best for us in terms of sharing documents, and not just what works for them. They create special charts if we want to, and everything has been really straightforward.
Communication has never been an issue. Even if we find something critical, or our customer finds something that needs to be fixed, their turnaround time is really fast, and things are sometimes done over night. From my understanding, they have good resources to allow them to move forward with any scalability of the project whether it is small or big. Anything that they worked on was tested by them prior to handing it to us. They have a good QA engineering team who make sure that the codes they have provided work, which has been really good. Pre-planning has been really straightforward. They have been really good in creating technical requirements, and make sure everyone is on the same page and is doing the right thing. If there is something they are unsure of, they will always ask.
Sometimes when working with a company, they get the task done, and just do the coding, but don’t care how it actually works. Indeema really care about what your business is doing, and want to make sure you are going to be successful and the projects will work. Indeema also have provided us with suggestions, and always share their opinion to help us out. It has been helpful to have another point of view and perspective from a different side.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They always try to get the best people and talent possible to work for them as far as I understand. They always try to give as much as possible in order to deliver the best results for your project and expectations. They are a very good company, and I would like to work with them in the future as I see a lot of potential in them.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I didn’t have any problems at all. I had issues with companies I had worked with in the past, whether it was misunderstandings or them not being very knowledgeable in English. However, with Indeema, everything is straightforward. They have a pretty good knowledge of English, and always try to have at least 2 people who speak English to understand the project needs. It is not just the technical people, it is the project manager and sales representative who have the knowledge of what exactly the software development is, what it is all about, and how the project plan and scope should be.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
AppSoft Creative Solutions primarily focuses on iPhone games. I am one of the company’s three owners. I also handle technical tasks, including testing. We’re a small company, so we’ve had to do many things ourselves.
What challenge were you trying to address with Indeema Software?
We were one of Indeema Software’s first clients, and they helped us get our own company up-and-running. We initially wanted to develop a game for iOS.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Indeema Software has developed two applications for us. The first and simplest one was Dragon Dice, which is a simple dice calculator. It was done fast and worked well, receiving some good reviews in the app store.
The second one was Monkey Invasion, which is a very complex game with five different levels. It took us six to eight months in order to develop and polish everything, but we were able to succeed. The game works across all different devices, from iPads to iPhones.
We supplied screenshots and descriptions of the games to Indeema Software, and they came up with the backend solutions, suggested frameworks and engines, and created all the visual elements using their own graphic designers.
How did you come to work with Indeema Software?
I am originally from Ukraine, and had heard about Indeema Software. They targeted the US market and promised good-quality work in order to build a reputation.
Indeema Software had good pricing, compared to similar companies in the US. They were 90% lower than some other estimates we received, which made us question the quality they could deliver. Still, Indeema Software did a very good job.
How much have you invested with Indeema Software?
The first app was less expensive, at around $2,000. The second app cost closer to $11,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Indeema Software four years ago. The most recent app was finished two years ago.
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
For an app to succeed, it needs a good promotion system or company. We only had our apps sitting there, but are still seeing around 100-200 downloads every day, which dropped down from around 400 daily downloads initially. The total count has been around 30,000.
We’re very particular about things, but every single bug or issue we submitted was followed-up and fixed. It was easy to explain to Indeema Software what we wanted to do, and what needed to be changed. The communication and responsiveness were great. Indeema Software was also very flexible, and didn’t demand that we run things under their conditions and terms. I’ve worked with different companies during my career, developing enterprise software, and have come across all kinds of approaches. Some of them can be extremely arrogant in demanding that things be done like they want, under their process flow. Indeema Software was flexible in terms of calls and requirements, taking what we gave them and making it work.
How did Indeema Software perform from a project management standpoint?
They were slightly behind the timelines, but not to the point of being unreasonable. We were expecting more delays actually, so we were impressed with Indeema Software. They were pretty much on time, and one or two additional days wasn’t that bad.
Our contact person wasn’t changed throughout the project, which was a very positive thing. Switching managers and having to explain everything again makes things difficult.
What did you find most impressive about Indeema Software?
We’re working on a different project at this time, and definitely will send Indeema Software a quote. I’ve liked their response and experience, so, if we agree on all aspects, from price to scope, I will definitely use Indeema Software. They’re one of the first companies we send requests to.
Are there any areas Indeema Software could improve?
Out of all the companies we’ve used for outsourcing, Indeema Software is one of the best. They’re reasonable, down-to-earth hard workers.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
Sun for Schools is a non-profit organization running a project for installing photovoltaic cells on schools. Our overall mission is to reduce the energy consumed by schools through different means. The first step is to reduce electricity consumption, after which we will focus on gas and water. Another part of the initiative is to teach ecology concepts to young people. The organization was started in 2016.
What challenge were you trying to address with Indeema Software?
In order to finance our project, we need to attract donations. We needed a crowdfunding platform through which Belgian schools could gather donations in order to buy solar batteries and become eco-friendly, so we went to Indeema for its development. This initiative is very successful in other countries and we hope to promote it in Belgium.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had a clear idea of what we wanted to do for this project and had some design elements ready as well. Indeema Software assisted in finalizing the details and creating the description and design solutions for the missing parts. The, they developed a Node.js platform with an AngularJS frontend.
For every school, we need a unique donation website, which the platform allows us to create. We can manage donations, users, and marketing. People can also add comments on the site and see news about their school’s project.
Each website is custom-branded with unique graphical templates. We have meetings with teachers and school project owners to discuss designs, and based on those discussions, we modify our base design. We have a CMS [content management system] similar to WordPress.
Indeema also provided quality assurance and project management.
How did you come to work with Indeema Software?
I had worked with their project manager 2 years ago for a different initiative around big data. In this context, I asked Indeema Software to develop another piece of software. I didn’t look at other vendors, but I had tried offshoring with Indian companies in the past. It was a nightmare, so we looked at working with a group closer to our office in Belgium.
How much have you invested with Indeema Software?
The cost of their work has been €10,000 [US $11,261].
What is the status of this engagement?
The project’s timeline was from October to December 2016. We’re currently preparing a new school website.
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
Our main focus is on schools and legal buildings in the country. We have tried to onboard 20 schools in 2017, each with around 200 students. We have made a marketing effort for this task, and plan to have every parent on the platform. Currently, we don’t have many users because the project has just been started. We need to find schools, obtain approvals, install the photovoltaic panels, and only then start our funding campaign.
We had a delay in the project delivery due to some technical issues, but in the end, we got exactly what we wanted and needed. Over the course of development, Indeema didn’t hide any issues, but rather kept us informed and provided suggestions.
Even after the official closure of the project, their team still openly assists whenever we have questions or need advice.
How did Indeema Software perform from a project management standpoint?
The collaboration was quite clear. We received daily feedback, and Indeema Software was there to answer whenever we had a question, even outside of working hours. The support was very good and any bugs we identified were corrected immediately, within 1 hour or so.
We mostly communicated by Skype and email. Every milestone was delivered on time and the budget was respected. Indeema Software’s team worked late in order to prevent any potential delays and to fix issues as quickly as possible.
What did you find most impressive about Indeema Software?
They are experts on Node.js and AngularJS. Indeema Software’s knowledge is greater than what I saw while offshoring in China and India. They understood what we needed much better, and are excellent technicians.
Are there any areas Indeema Software could improve?
No.
The client was happy with Indeema Software Inc. for providing functional software. Although there were no results yet, the team executed a seamless workflow. They were skilled and talented in the partnership.
