Industi sp. z o.o.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the vice president of a company that produces pasta. It is one of the largest pasta producers in Central-Eastern Poland.

For what projects/services did your company hire Industi sp. z o.o.?

We faced the challenge of rebranding the logo because the brand was getting old and blurred. The logo and the whole series of packaging gave the impression that there was a dissonance between the content and the packaging. The brand became less attractive to the customer group which is one of the target groups.

What were your goals for this project?

The aim of the activities was to carry out rebranding, including logo rebranding, rebranding a series of pasta packaging, collective packaging, posters, and many other graphic designs wherever they should be used. Industi has also created a mobile application for us.

How did you select Industi sp. z o.o.?

We were looking for companies that deal with creating brands. We got acquainted with the portfolio of several companies, what Industi represented was beyond what others offered. After research, we came across very good opinions about their work, and one of our wholesale customers recommended Industi to us, because he worked with them by branding his own brand.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The first step in the brand design process was a brief. The next stage of designing was research. They analyzed the competition, researched the industry and decided what would be best and what motives to avoid. Based on the collected information, they started designing. At first, they created a unique logo. It was the basis for building a coherent visual communication of the brand. Recommendations for the use of branding elements such as logo, colors, typography, etc. were clearly presented. As we had it, work on packaging design began.

What was the team composition?

We worked with the project manager and the art director.

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

Rebranding was a good and sensible move. The numbers speak for themselves: the average increase in volume sales was 50%, and even 200% for selected indices. The logo and the packaging line are still our hallmark in Poland and abroad.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was incredibly effective. The project manager carried out individual stages of our project and sent us proposals on an ongoing basis. We contacted mainly by phone, and when there was a need for pinkness in a wider group, we used the zoom or whereby. Their team was flexible and gave a lot of interesting ideas.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They understood our needs perfectly. The best thing was that, apart from the brilliant branding work, they also made a website and a mobile application for us, because their main specializations are branding and programming. Everything in one place - great!

Are there any areas for improvement?

They've been amazing; I can't think of any improvements.

Industi sp. z o.o. developed a tool that allowed end users to simplify the learning process of preparing pasta. More importantly, the deliverable acts as a loyalty and engagement tool for the client, which is beneficial in the long-term. The team communicated effectively during the engagement.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the vice president of a company that produces pasta. It is one of the largest pasta producers in Central-Eastern Poland.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Industi sp. z o.o., and what were your goals?

We needed Industi to create a dedicated mobile application for us. The aim was to promote a new line of pasta. After analyzing the market, it turned out that there are many applications with recipes and cooking, but there is no application that fits into the process of perfect pasta preparation.

That is why a pasta cooking timer has been made, in which you can define the degree of perfect pasta and obtain the perfect taste. In response to our customers' requests, the application also includes a recipe module indicating the range of dishes that can be made with our pasta.

SOLUTION

How did you select Industi sp. z o.o. and what were the deciding factors?

We were very pleased with the implementation of branding, including the projects of the new packaging line. We knew that Industi is not only a branding agency but also a software house.

Having good experience, we decided to cooperate with them, because during the previous implementation in the field of branding, we received many suggestions and advice on using our products in the application and recommended solutions.

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

Actually, the idea appeared during the earlier rebranding. Industi advised us some interesting ideas, this idea grew up in our heads. We contacted Industi, they prepared mockups for us, then the graphic creation was made to match our graphic identification.

Test versions of the application for the android platform were created and were later handed over to testers. The tessing was nice because together with the Industi team we not only tested the application but also cooked it together, checking it on the battlefield.

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

Project manager, ios dev, android dev, tester, backend, ux designer, graphic designer

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The company has gained a tool that allows customers to cook pasta in order to obtain the perfect taste of the product. The application is also a kind of loyalty program that engages users to purchase new products to prepare the dishes indicated in the application.

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

Communication took place through the project manager who coordinated all the work of the project group. In the first stage, mock-ups and the target functionality of the application were created efficiently through conceptual meetings.

In subsequent deliveries, based on consultations with us, graphic designs of the application and text versions for both platforms were prepared. Industi took our suggestions into account and recommended the best possible solutions, so that the usability and simplicity of the application were not disturbed.

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

What impressed me most about Industi was the ability to adapt and the desire to learn about our industry. Another thing is constant relations and contact with the project manager. Finally, I can point out an innovative approach to implementation with project recommendations that we did not think about when we started the project.

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

The area for improvement in the application is the possibility of adding your own recipes using our pasta by the users of the application, we are considering this action.

Project summary: 

A financial services provider hired Industi sp. z o.o. to build an online leasing service platform. This was built for fixed assets vendors to present their products with a range of financing methods.

Feedback summary: 

The online leasing service platform automated the offering of financial products and fixed assets. Confident and methodical, Industi sp. z o.o. communicated efficiently despite the remote team and were transparent in their activities. They boasted proven custom development skills throughout.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a co-founder and CEO of a company that created an online platform for fixed assets vendors and financial services providers. The platform enables vendors to present their products to the end customers together with a range of financing methods such as operational leasing, financial leasing, and business loans.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Industi sp. z o.o., and what were your goals?

We wanted Industi to create a portal/platform that would enhance the presentation of fixed assets vendors offers in the digital channels with financing options.

For each item to be acquired from the vendor, the end customer has a possibility to choose e.g. financial leasing with desired parameters and initiate an application process with the financing institution. All of this to happen at the point of sale: e-commerce shop, sales representative tablet, or in AssetLife web platform.

The biggest challenge was to implement the particular leasing products of companies such as Pekao S.A., Impuls, and Alior. Each financial product had to be precisely mapped, for the end customer to be able to set parameters as an initial payment, contract duration, and buyback amount.

The platform offers user accounts and workflows for vendors, end customers, and financial product managers. In totality, it is meant as a significant milestone on the way to fully automate fixed assets sales.

SOLUTION

How did you select Industi sp. z o.o. and what were the deciding factors?

We were looking for a tech partner with a brief description of our idea for a platform. After some technical discussion, we decided to organize a tender against an early specification. Industi also has great reviews and strong recommendations. We invited them and we selected their offer as the most competitive both in terms of price and technical competencies and experience.

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

The first steps were workshops during which customer requirements were collected. Later, the mock-ups from which the MVP version was selected and implemented. The production version was created after 3 months of work, this version was created on the WordPress engine and included a list of offers divided into categories.

It was also possible to inquire about an item. This stage can be considered as analysis and research on the basis of which we decided to reorganize the final functionalities. As we have already accepted the final functionalities, they created a customer panel and an extensive administration panel for entering vendors' offers.

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

On the Industi side, the project involved 3 backend programmers, a graphic designer, art director, software tester, 2 fronted developers, and a project manager. From us, the product owner.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to the implementation of the platform, the process of offering financial products together with fixed assets (vehicles, machinery, and other equipment) was automated. Manual interventions can be removed from the process. The client selects the type of financing and its parameters on his own in the unmanned digital sales channel of a vendor (e.g. web page).

The fixed asset with leasing as a payment method can be as well presented by the vendor's sales representative on the screen of his tablet. Different contract lengths and other parameters can be simulated and chosen by or for the customers in real-time.

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

Communication with PM at a very good level. Ongoing communication via telephone, Telegram communicator, and emails. The project was carried out on an Asana with a hooked time tracker. There were 3 development environments, 1 internal, 1 customer test, and 1 production. 3-week sprints.

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

They were easy and quick to contact and are quick to react to changes in the project. Transparency of activities within the team, responsibility, comprehensive service.

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

We could have added more financial product templates. This would increase the capabilities of the platform even more. This can be added later in the support period.
