What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The measurable outcomes that demonstrate progress or success from the project based on the feedback provided can be summarized as:

Detailed Proposal: Intelivita’s ability to produce a thorough, clear, and detailed proposal based on the initial brief indicates strong communication and alignment between both parties. This likely set a clear direction for the project, which helped in managing expectations and reducing any potential misunderstandings.
Flexibility and Responsiveness: The company’s flexibility in working through each detail, addressing concerns with fixes or explanations, shows an adaptive and problem-solving approach. This likely led to the successful resolution of issues and improvements in the final product, ensuring it met your needs and specifications.
User Experience (UX) and Design: The contribution of Shishir to the app's look and feel, including user experience and graphical layout, is a key outcome. This suggests that the final product not only met functional requirements but also provided an enhanced, intuitive, and visually appealing user experience. The success of this aspect could be measured by user satisfaction and engagement with the app.
Professionalism and Ease of Collaboration: Intelivita’s professionalism and easy collaboration reflect a positive working relationship, which is crucial for project success. The smooth communication and trust built between the client and the team likely contributed to the project being delivered on time and meeting the original goals.
These elements combined indicate a successful partnership, with key outcomes related to quality of work, adaptability, user-centered design, and effective collaboration.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project management team were superb through the project and always responded promptly. The timelines were clear and communications constant.

What was your primary form of communication with Intelivita?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Intelivita played a pivotal role in turning my vision for my first mobile app into a reality. From the initial concept to the final product, their expertise and professionalism were evident every step of the way. They took the time to understand my goals, provided valuable insights, and worked collaboratively to ensure the app met my expectations. Their team was not only highly skilled but also consistently supportive, addressing challenges with creative solutions and maintaining clear communication throughout the project. I am extremely grateful for their dedication and hard work, and I wholeheartedly recommend Intelivita to anyone seeking reliable and innovative software development partners.

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

A small improvement would be to explain the final cost for the app being delivered on google/apple store as apposed to the possibility of some bugs found post delivered. However Intelivita worked with me to ensure the bugs were fixed post to the final payment.

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

We partnered with Intelevita to create a community-based app, available on Android and Apple devices. This app needed to have a very specific algorithm that fueled it, as well as needing a seamless and easy UX, and adhering to our brand guidelines in terms of look and feel. 

We also had a strict deadline for completion.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I have been blown away working with Intelevita. Not only did they hit every milestone on time and within budget, but they have been an absolute pleasure to work with. 

Nothing is too much trouble, they are available any time you might need them, have a question, or need to discuss an element of the project. They also offer clear and reasonable guidance and suggestions throughout the process, leveraging their expert knowledge where you might not have it in-house. 

The team are also lovely people, making the whole experience enjoyable.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management is second to none. Weekly status sheets and calls provided clear outlines of where we were at each stage of development. They were flexible and accommodating if we needed to bring certain elements forward. They hit every milestone on time and within budget. 

They were always available when needed and utilised their expert knowledge to steer the project in the right direction.

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

Intelivita were asked to create a mobile booking service which would allow customers to instantly hire an available taxi, as well as give them scope to book in advance (up to 7 days). This app was to be exclusive to registered taxis and must be robust enough to carry a potentially substantial client base. So far they have more than delivered on this.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• At all stages Intelivita have kept me informed of progress. Their engineers are available at any time if problems develop during the development stages. Their attention to even the smallest request is met with a can do attitude and always with positivity towards an outcome. Our App (UNIFY) is up and running and attracting a ton of business which is in no small part, due to the wonderful people at Intelivita. They have certainly produced a world class outcome for us and we are thrilled to present it to the London Public. With luck in a few years even further afield.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We had an excellent working relationship with the project manager. Deadlines that were introduced were always met or technical circumstances which dictated slightly more time were fully explained to us in detail. Time sheets with specific hours clearly marking each task to be completed gave us confidence that these guys were aware of the project and were working hard to get it completed to time. 

At times we had brainwaves and would require upgrades and additions to the App. These were met with cooperation from the team and if needed additional hours were worked and and costed for us to evaluate before implementation began. Through all stages of the project we were consulted and advised of exactly what was expected of us. At times we were unaware of specific requirements because this was our first adventure into having an app created. 

However, the team fully understood this and provided all of the help and encouragement we needed. They were very good with helping our learning curve. Sometimes things would pop up of which we had no understanding, they would then explain the importance of the feature. This was at times invaluable and we are very grateful to the management team for their continued support.

What was your primary form of communication with Intelivita?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The most impressive or unique aspect of this company is difficult to pick out among so many good things. The liaison between the tech guys and us was extremely well facilitated by the manager. At no time was he ever too busy for us. His patience must of at times been stretched by our constant questions and queries. However, all were met with a friendly professional response. This gave us confidence that the project, although long, was moving forwards and we knew it was progressing towards a workable outcome.

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

Intelivita has done all that we asked on time, and then adapted it all to suit our constant adjustments. We could not fault their commitment to our project.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of Bukscholar a edtech company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Intelivita?

Bukscholar is at early stage of development, we contacted Intelivita after failed attempt to get another company to capture our vision and design a prototype that captures these as a whole, we needed the UI/UX design

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We contacted BIPC in our local area who gave us the link to Clutch platform, we read through the reviews and picked Intelivita as we thought they should be a good fit, we filled their online form and got a call back same day, we then arranged a first meeting, that was all we needed to be convinced we found the right agency to work with as they brought a wealth of knowledge from that very first discussion.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

What started off as a quick design project as we had the scope ready for them to proceed ended up with their team collaborating with us on numerous research, they were able to help us make crucial decisions, we wrote out the user story and then went on to design the prototype wireframes for the different set of users, we also had a webpage built to be able to conduct our market product fit, we now have a proposal to build the platform as the next stage

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

We had 2 people that we directly interacted with through the life of the project, pretty sure there were others working in the background but it was easy to communicate with minimum contact who have an overall knowledge of what we were trying to achieve and they communicated with their team, one project manager and a business analyst. The project manager was the key person.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are pleased with the deliverables from Intelivita team, the UX/UI represent the platform we are trying to build which they will be developing for us in the new year as soon as we raise enough fund to start the next phase, we have tested with several potential users and have had positive feedbacks. They have been able to capture the vision and guided us with their many years of experience and expertise in the field.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They have a very flexible approach to work which worked really well for us as a start up, the project manager was super effective and communicated really well with us at every stage of the development, they carried us along and made sure we were both on the same page, we had a few zoom calls when necessary otherwise we used Basecamp as our main platform for communication it was super easy to communicate with the entire team and collaborate, they worked really well with time and when deadlines weren’t going to be met we had prior communications.

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

They are very professional and friendly group of people, they have built a team of knowledgeable experts, their input from the very first conversation blew me away, they thick all the right boxes for us and we just knew we found the right people to work with, they were able to guide us through the process as a startup we had so much to learn and they had the patient to help us throughout, they support their suggestions with research evidence, with all time invested in designing the user story the UX/UI design took little time and turned out perfect.

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

We took a long time to complete the initial stages of user story and research before the main design which got me worried at some point but once we got to the design phase it was completed in no time, that information should be clearly communicated as I now understand the process.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner and sole director of CRAFTPEER LTD, an IT solution provider.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

I needed their team to build an application that served as a marketplace for different sellers and buyers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Intelivita initially helped me build templates for our app’s buyer-seller journey before kickstarting the development process. Their team implemented multiple features that allowed users to display product information, accept and reject orders, track deliveries, and relay product concerns. Additionally, they deployed backend solutions that enabled our staff to input buyer and seller credentials to update their profiles.

What is the team composition?

I mainly worked with their project manager and lead developer.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

I found their team online while searching for qualified developers to onboard for this project. Intelivita sent me an impressive project proposal, which convinced me that they were the right team to hire for my development needs.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent £7,500 (approximately $10,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

The project ran from May–October 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I couldn’t share any quantitative metrics because the app just went live and wasn’t deployed into any App Store yet. From our perspective, Intelivita delivered our technical needs by producing a specialized B2B app with seamless functionalities. We didn’t find the need to conduct multiple app testings — the product worked like how we envisioned it from the beginning.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

We mainly communicated via Slack and phone calls. Intelivita was a supportive team that listened to our specific needs, met our time frames, and offered post-production services without additional costs.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Intelivita proposed concrete solutions from the very beginning. They took full responsibility for our project and proactively met our expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The dates indicated in their proposal were somehow far-fetched — it took us longer to complete the product.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Go the extra mile by designing your wireframes or templates.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a project manager of a construction company. We supply and install garden buildings, log cabins, garden offices, garden rooms, sheds, and some houses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita? 

We needed to develop an internal app that managed communication between the office staff and our installation team. This would help coordinate jobs and information, as well as manage who is on what job and for how long.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Intelivita has done both development and design. We sent over our logo and color scheme, and they designed the whole layout. All I provided was an Excel spreadsheet of what we needed to include in each function, and they went from there. The app is for iOS and Android. 

What is the team composition?

Initially, our main point of contact was Oliver (Managing Director), but Deval (Co-Founder) has been managing the build. 

How did you come to work with Intelivita? 

I found a number of companies online and spoke to Oliver. He was really helpful. We chatted through some ideas, and then they set over a presentation of what would be included; it was a detailed proposal. Then, we had a zoom call with my two directors and Oliver, where he outlined everything. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We committed to Intelivita in February 2021, and they delivered the app in June 2021.  We originally completed the app in the middle of May, but then I wanted to add a few extra elements so we worked into June. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m waiting on final confirmation from Apple for the app to be published.

Intelivita was very helpful in that we haven’t had to spoon-feed them. We told them what we wanted the end goal to be functionality-wise, and they created exactly that. They were good at giving advice as well, as we don’t understand technical jargon. 

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

We had calls with them pretty much every week, starting in April. Deval kept us up to date and stuck to timelines. We used Basecamp, and everything was on there: calls, schedules, shared documents, general chat, etc. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Intelivita’s customer management stands out. They also have fair prices. Additionally, they communicated well and did so in a manner that we could understand. This is the largest issue I‘ve had with other companies; they don’t know how to communicate with someone who isn’t technical. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be very clear about what you want, and don’t worry too much about the design side of things. Be clear on the functionality, as well, and they’ll handle the rest. We did, and it’s worked out very well for us. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of QualifyFAST. Our organization trains people to help them pass their pharmacist exams by providing practice questions and other resources.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

We needed to build a website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Intelivita built the entire website — frontend and backend. Their team developed the backend to enable us to quickly add and delete questions, among other activities. They built the system based on our specific preferences for customer experience and functionalities.

For example, the website offers users a free trial of 20 questions. They can then subscribe for access to thousands of practice problems to prepare for their pharmacist exam. Through the website, users can also interact with a team of pharmacists to receive help on specific problems.

What is the team composition?

During the project, I’ve interacted with at least 5–6 people from Intelivita.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

I found them on Clutch and contacted them based on their reviews.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $50,000 on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in November 2020, and the partnership’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Intelivita exceeded my expectations — the website works perfectly. It’s responsive and doesn’t glitch. Their team implemented the backend exactly as we requested. When we requested changes during development, they quickly made them. They’ve done a brilliant job.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Basecamp, text messages, and phone and video calls. They created professional designs with impressive speed. They’re flexible and stay within set timelines, delivering what’s promised. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, and capable.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Intelivita understood my needs and realized them in a practical way. Unlike other vendors I’ve engaged, they delivered above and beyond what was promised. Their team does exactly what we request without raising the price even if we didn’t initially discuss it. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t ways for them to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re professional, flexible, and trustworthy. Intelivita will deliver what you ask from them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an assistant producer at a television production company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

We’re making a television program, and we needed to create a very simple mobile game that we could launch on one of the app platforms. We didn’t know how to go about that.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We contacted Intelivita and explained roughly what we wanted the game to do. Oliver (Co-Founder, Intelivita), who we dealt with there, told us that we needed to provide some video files, and then they could use those to make the game.

Once we provided the video clips, they helped with the whole process of building the mobile game for Android. They then helped us to launch the game; they talked us through what we needed to do, such as creating a developer account that they also had access to.  

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact was Oliver.

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

I think it was just a case of Googling mobile game developers and looking at some online reviews and testimonials. We did contact a few app developers, and Oliver was just extremely helpful. Because it was such a simple game, we had quite a low budget, and Oliver was able to help do something within that budget. We checked out his credentials, and they also fit with what we were looking for.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began talking to Oliver in October 2019, and we just completed the work in February 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our whole team is really happy with the app; it’s exactly what we wanted. Oliver stuck to the brief and was excellent at communicating all the way along.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

They did really well. We communicated via email and phone. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Oliver’s communication skills made Intelivita stand out. He was excellent at getting back to us. As I said, we had a limited budget; when we went to him with our brief, he came back to us with some ideas about how they could make it work within our budget. He was willing to invest quite a lot of time in the early stages, which is what we needed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t think so. It was quite a unique and simple project, so everything went as planned.

Any advice for potential customers?

I would definitely recommend them. We were very happy with the communication and the end product.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder and COO of a software development house that manages an interactive restaurant management system. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Intelivita?

We wanted to develop a fully-integrated restaurant management system (RMS) that bridges the gap between the restaurant side and the diner side. We specifically wanted to design an app for the diner side of the platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Intelivita built the diner app for us. It’s built dor iOS using Swift and Android using JavaScript. We didn’t provide wireframes, but we had a clear idea of what we wanted the app to do.

Diners can search restaurants by cuisine, location; make reservations; note any allergens; build a profile, and collect points. It’s similar to other booking apps, but the difference in our app is that we don’t charge for this.

What is the team composition?

My principal point of contact is Oliver (Director, Intelivita). 

How did you come to work with Intelivita?

I found vendors by researching on the Internet and, based on reviews, whittled down my list. I chose Intelivita because, as a young company, they were a fit in many ways. Their demonstrated technical expertise and entrepreneurial attitude fit ours in terms of our workflow and culture. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about £50,000 (approximately $64,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in March 2019 and is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We do a lot of internal testing every time a feature is built. That means testing it with our team and with our consumers. Everyone absolutely loves it. We don’t get any negative feedback. Also, from their work on the app's look and feel as a unique product under our RMS, we get told it looks like a million-dollar brand.

How did Intelivita perform from a project management standpoint?

They use Basecamp as our central hub of communications, but I personally don’t like it as much. I insist on having a weekly call with Oliver because that’s my style. They’re very responsive and proactive, and their project management has been very strong.

What did you find most impressive about them?

In interpreting what we were hoping to achieve, Intelivita took our idea and went above and beyond. I was impressed with that. They really saw what we were trying to achieve, beyond the technical specs and documentation. They've made the brand and user experience very fluid and have the confidence to challenge us if they think something could be done better. Intelivita has absolutely been one of the best companies I’ve ever had the pleasure of work with. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’d ask that they not use Basecamp. It’s a chaotic tool, and I only work with it because that’s what they use. 

Any advice for potential customers?

Be transparent about what you’re trying to achieve. Don’t just tell them about the specific product; let them see who you are as a business and what your long-term goals. We did that, and we got a product that’s built for both the present and the future.
