The Intellify

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of the company Itihaas Now LLC. My company is on a mission to re-create past architecture and people in AR to enable its users to relive the past.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Intellify, and what were your goals?

I wanted to seek Intellify's help in creating a mobile app for both Android & iOS. The app will augment old architectural structures along with important historical figures. Intellify fully created the 3D models from scratch and integrated them with the mobile apps. Intellify also helped me with a website creation for my company.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I was looking for companies that had good experience with Unity. I shortlisted to 4 companies based on Upwork & 3rd party reviews along with what they had to offer. I had multiple meetings as well with all companies. Intellify gave a solution within budget along with maximum confidence that they can do it!!

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

They created a AR mobile app that would augment how old historical monuments could have looked like 500 years ago. I gave them some sketches and concepts of how it could have looked it and Intellify did a brilliant job of creating those models.

When it came to historical figures like King or Queen, Intellify were able to use the concepts/guidance based on the information I provided. Once the models went through multiple iterations of tweaks, they were seamlessly integrated into the mobile app.

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

A project manager was the main point of contact throughout the project. I was also briefly in touch with one of its founders. They have always been easy to reach. All project requirements were documented in Active Collab platform.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app has created a lot of interest in people who are trying to look back at India's rich history. Even though this is a proof of concept app with limited content, the app has raised the quality bar for next generation mobile AR apps.

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

During development project, I had 2 calls every week with the project manager to discuss updates. All requirements were documented in Active Collab platform also. Anytime there is a chance of getting delayed, I always got clear feedback from the project manager.

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

High quality Unity experience and very good 3d model generating capacity. The cost is slightly higher but the quality is great!!

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

I had to reschedule a few weekly calls. If I was in the same time zone, it could have been okay. But since I was 12.5 hrs behind, some days it got difficult to accomodate that. But they have been open communication at all times.
