2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Wire-frames for our app were created over a week-long exploration workshop that we organized to get the project going. Innovify helped us grasp the problems with the product during this time as well. The team started developing the minimal viable product after giving us an estimate of the development costs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The app has a variety of noteworthy features, such as fitness tests that help users keep track of how many repetitions they have performed of each workout that is suggested. Then, an algorithm determines their fitness score. The software also provides customized bodyweight exercises that get harder as users score higher on the fitness assessments.

Innovify was really helpful during the discovery process in enabling us, as non-technical people, express our needs and goals. The project manager was very well-organized and always accessible.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of Newtown Chocolatier.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Innovify?

I wanted to add a function to my website that would allow customers to customize their gift box with certain chocolates.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I sent them the details of what I envisioned, and they provided me with a price estimate. They submitted a working sample that I could test, and we edited that several times until I approved of it. They worked with the Magento platform. Innovify created the gateway that allows users to select a box size, specific pieces of chocolate, and a ribbon color.

What is the team composition?

I believe it was no more than two people.

How did you come to work with Innovify?

I searched online for firms that specialize in custom Magento projects. We worked together on a small PayPal project, and that went well, so I was comfortable using them for this task as well.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $2,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in December 2017, and we have an ongoing project for a gift registry right now.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The customization option has not been available for very long, but it has been somewhat active. I believe it is best suited for customers buying for loved ones because they have a better knowledge of their preferences.

How did Innovify perform from a project management standpoint?

We primarily used emails, and their response time was impressive because of the time zone difference between us. The project took a while to complete, but that was because I was often busy with other tasks. They were responsible and kept me on track.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I mentioned to them that I will be starting another company, and I will be using OpenCart there. They mentioned they provide services with that as well. It will ease the burden on me to have all my needs met by one company.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they understood exactly what I wanted.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of an inventory management software that connects to accounting, sales channel, marketplace, and payment platforms. It’s an all-in-one, mini ERP platform that we’ve been building since last year.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Innovify?

I needed a development team that met deadlines, understood the software, and had technical expertise working with startups. Innovify had all of these capabilities.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Innovify took care of all of our development using Agile methodology. I plan out everything and give them requirements for the features, and they then take the scope and put it into a 2-week plan. They dive into everything to plan the impact and obtain an estimate of exactly how long something will take. We do everything in Sprints, so every two weeks, we have a release. They track everything on Jira, including hours worked, who is working on what tasks, and any issues they have.

They also maintain all of my Amazon servers, and if anything goes down, they offer support. They helped us integrate our e-commerce platforms, such as Shopify, with Stripe and Authorize.net. They also worked on internal system features, such as reporting capability and generating PDF and sales reports.

Mainly, they have been working on integrations and enhancing the overall speed of our system. We also plan on having them move us over to a more Angular based system to further enhance system speed. We had a launch two months ago, and so far, we’re really happy with everything. They continue to support and build on various features.

We use JIRA and Confluence for all of our planning, bug tracking, Sprint planning, and deployments. We also use AWS for our development.

What is the team dynamic?

I usually work with their project manager and lead developer.

How did you come to work with Innovify?

After one of my partners referred us, we moved to Innovify after starting off with a different team. The most important thing was having somebody who had experience working with startups. Innovify has a large staff who’ve worked on similar projects in e-commerce, so it was great that they were familiar with our type of business. Unlike the previous firm, they had enough experience to answer our questions, technical difficulties were limited, and they always found solutions. We were originally looking at 5-6 different companies, but Innovify really impressed us with their confidence and experience. We realized how much initiative they put into a project, which is why after fifteen minutes of meeting with them, we chose them right off the bat.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $150,000-$200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2016, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We launched within two months, and within a month and a half, we’ve gained 100 users. Although we had to slow our launch down due to being an early startup, a lot of users have given us great feedback. We just need to make sure all of our processes work efficiently before opening the floodgates for new users. There hasn’t been any big activity in terms of feedback.

How did Innovify perform from a project management standpoint?

They do an excellent job, and everything is documented, which is key. They make sure all progress is visible, and after meetings, that everything is updated, which has helped them become a good management team.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m very pleased with their work, and as a startup, their experience in the field has been invaluable because they’re not just a development team. They genuinely want to know why you’re doing certain things so they aren’t blindly building a service. It’s good to have a development team who actually tries to understand the scope and customer experience that will result from it. In the software business, nothing ever goes right 100% of the time. Innovify actually knows what to do in the event of technical failure, and they fix it quickly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They pretty much cover all the bases.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

One Model Place connects models with photographers and directors. We have millions of accounts on a steady basis. Hundreds of thousands of people are logging onto our platform and connecting with us. I’m the CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Innovify?

Our technology was dated and we were losing engagement from an end user perspective. We wanted to revive that engagement with our existing customer base and modernize our experience. We also wanted to develop an app for our solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I really enjoyed the detailed approach they took with our engagement. They run sprints and they have a very detailed, agile methodology in place. We started off with wireframing and trying to put together how the experience can be both from a web and mobile app perspective. Then we started adding colors and started to get a little bit more of a feel of what the user experience was going to be. We are still in the process of developing but we’re confident the end product is going to come out looking really nice.

The app is for both Android and iOS, and it’s going to be responsive on the mobile phone as well. They are starting from scratch for the website. The entire platform that we had was completely agile; we were looking to head in a new direction. I don’t want to disclose some of the new things we’re starting to do, but it was necessary that we come out with a technology solution that’s going to be forward looking. Innovify recommended that we start fresh from the ground-up.

I’ve been working with four resources from a development standpoint and two from a mobile app development standpoint. I have a team that interacts with them directly.

How did you come to work with Innovify?

They approached us through a cold email. We looked at their profile, and it was perfect. When we did research on them, they seemed to be market leaders. They had a very good value proposition so we wanted to move forward.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2017, and the development is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

It’s a bit early for any metrics. People love the design and user experience; the quality of the work is really nice.

The new features that were added are keeping up with the modern trends and revitalizing the current industry that we are in. There is a much deeper connection between the models and the people on the platform. We have come up with a number of ways that have simplified that experience.

Innovify is very deeply involved from a strategy standpoint. One thing I really appreciate is how they understood our business first before trying to come up with the wireframing. We talked about where we are and where we wanted to go before starting to come up with a solution. That helped nail down a lot of the key elements around the user experience and some of the technology advancements that we wanted to have in place.

How did Innovify perform from a project management standpoint?

They are always on time and on budget. They excel in project management. One of the biggest challenges we had with the previous developer was project management; it was difficult to get things done in a timely fashion with the previous company. With Innovify, we have daily calls with them so we know exactly where the project is and where it’s headed.

What did you find most impressive about Innovify?

It’s going beyond the traditional development shop. The team has done a nice job of connecting with us on a business level. They understand what our business is and propose solutions for that. A lot of the other teams that I’ve worked with are typically more focused on just the development aspect of it. Innovify delivered more product management, understood what we wanted, and executed based on that.

Are there any areas Innovify could improve?

We had a little bit of turnover with some resources they had brought on. They can improve in that area. They did a nice job of catching up, but that turnover did impact us.
