Our client was looking to create an Instagram filter with their brand assets included. Our goal was to create a filter that we were able to launch on Instagram to be used by our clients target audience.

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

We were recommended to The Intellify group from another marketing agency here in Arizona, and them came with high praise for their AR/VR skill set and many other digital capabilities. After talking with their team, it was evident that they would be capable of meeting our goals in a timely manner.

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

They worked with our design from our client to create an Instagram filter within Spark AR that included the clients logo and other brand assets. Their team was able to advise on some areas of concern they had with our design, and walked us through how to get through the approval process with Instagram.

Once they completed the Instagram filter, they were gracious enough to extend several revisions that our client wanted with no extra charge. They then helped us launch the filter on Instagram and make revisions due to the approval process.

We worked with three different team members from The Intellify group including their new business development team and the design expert who executed our Instagram filter.

The only delays on this project that we faced was on our client's side. We were pleased with The Intellify groups ability to navigate the disapproval process with Instagram and help us accomplish our goals.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a multimedia AR and VR printing company.

What challenge were you trying to address with The Intellify?

We wanted to create software that would allow us to create a backend capability. We also wanted to manage the media that would be displayed in a front-end application.

What was the scope of their involvement?

The Intellify is building out 11 different modules for our end-user iOS and Android app. These include an e-commerce module so the user can purchase products through the app. It also includes AR/VR, where a 3D model would pop off a book page.

Additionally, they’re creating a mixed reality module to allow a user to have a 3D module pop up in the real-world space. There are also different modules where it looks like different props are painted on a user’s face. A user can access these different modules when they scan a QR code.

On the administrator side, they built a web-based tool that allows us to upload all of the different media users are going to see.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager and someone from their development team as needed.

How did you come to work with The Intellify?

I originally found them on Upwork. After going through their website and looking at some of the things they’ve built in the past, they looked like a good fit. We spoke with them on the phone, and they were extremely knowledgeable about the industry and the AR/VR elements that we wanted to include.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $26,000–$27,000 already. Phase two will be $15,000–$20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020, and our work is ongoing.

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

We’re still in the process of uploading all of our media for one of the books. We have shown the functionality to stakeholders, and we’ve gotten excellent reviews.

How did The Intellify perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re great at meeting milestones. We have tracking spreadsheets in Google to document issues I’ve come across. They let me know when they fix it, and what they did to fix it. It’s been a great process for us. Their team uses ActiveCollab for project management. We also meet via Zoom twice a week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their willingness to adapt really stands out; whether it’s the time of day that we’re meeting or them responding at odd hours, they’re thorough in documenting what we need to accomplish. They’ve gone above and beyond.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. It would be nice if they weren’t so far away from us, but they handle that very well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

We’ve had a clear vision of what we wanted from the start, which has made everything easier for them.

During development, wee had weekly meetings via Zoom with the project manager and developers. The Intellify also uses Active Collab as a tool to communicate any questions, meeting notes, and delays, which made it very easy to streamline troubleshooting.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of SENSEcity Ltd., a city guide startup. We provide travel guide books that work with an AR application.

What challenge were you trying to address with The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence!?

We needed a company to develop our AR app.
 

What was the scope of their involvement?

The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence! is developing our AR application from scratch. It’s built for iOS and Android. We gave them wireframes for the user flow. Their design and tech teams are designing the UI/UX design and developing the entire product. 

They’re also integrating all the AR experiences, which I provide most of. I used the funding I received in Glasgow to create 3D content.  We’re going to purchase a license to create a Vuforia integration. The entire AR experience is built on Unity. 
We’re going to start providing AR app development solutions for customers and clients looking for that service. I’m transitioning from just their client to more of a partner.

What is the team composition? 

I have one point of contact when it comes to AR accommodations. I also have a point of contact for all the sales side, invoices, etc. Two developers work under the main developer, who is my point of contact.

How did you come to work with The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence!?

I found The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence!  through Upwork. They were extremely proactive. The salesperson got in touch with me on LinkedIn and had clearly read the brief I mentioned very thoroughly. They took the initiative to call us to get an even better understanding of the project. 

Even though their costs weren’t the cheapest, we could tell they were reliable. To date, they’ve developed more than 40 AR apps for companies around the globe, including ones in the UK. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $28,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2018 and have work ongoing. We’re planning to go live in April. The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence!  will also be on board for our next project.

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

The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence! Is very receptive to change. They have a keen eye for how the final app will look and can understand the client’s perspective. The team has been receptive and patient whenever I’ve requested changes. 

I appreciate that they understand change is a part of project development. They’re never hesitant or lazy. Instead, they play around with the app until they reach the goals we want to achieve.

How did The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence! perform from a project management standpoint?

The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence! has a set process for project management in place. I met with them a couple of times when I visited India, but most of our conversations are over Skype or email. However, they aren’t overly reliant on emails, which is very valuable to me. Communication is very easy with them.

They introduced me to Basecamp which I now use with my team as well. This tool aligns everyone on the team. We can all see the deadlines and track progress visually together.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with their technological skills. Their key strength is a superior knowledge of AR app optimization. We have many 3D models integrated into our app. They always know the best ones to use. 

The Intellify - Innovating Intelligence! offers valuable suggestions. It’s been easy for me to communicate with them because we can talk about technical terms that they aren’t very well-versed in. Before we go live, we’ll try to fix a couple of issues we predict the app will face. Their knowledge of AR is strong due to their experience with the technology.

Are there any areas they could improve?

At times, it’s taken a while to explain how an AR interaction would work. Since the end product is so visual, it’s been difficult to communicate how every AR element should interact with the images. They have a higher level of tech than design skills and could improve on visualization.
