InvoZone

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of Muzmind, a health technology startup focused on providing healthcare solutions to Muslims across the globe. 

What challenge were you trying to address with InvoZone?

We hired InvoZone to help us build our platform. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

InvoZone developed our platform on iOS and Android; it also had a web version. The app also had guided meditation content, and it let users speak to the broader community to get peer-to-peer solutions in terms of mental health and wellbeing. 

Moreover, they developed a feature where users could seek help from qualified psychotherapists and psychiatrists over the phone or within the app through video sessions. They developed the app from scratch using React Native. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager, a customer support manager, a project coordinator, and their whole development team. In total, we collaborated with 7–8 people. 

How did you come to work with InvoZone?

InvoZone approached us through LinkedIn and offered their services. I liked them because they were proactive; their portfolio was also quite strong. On top of that, their pricing was highly competitive. The team’s approach was professional, and they provided realistic timelines. That was why we hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $7,500. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement lasted from June–October 2021. 

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

One of our key metrics of success was the end users’ feedback — they loved it. From a technology point of view, the app was secure. InvoZone was also cost-effective; they delivered the project at $7,500, while we had quotations of $25,000–$60,000 from others. Finally, they met our deadlines. 

How did InvoZone perform from a project management standpoint?

To communicate, we had a Slack channel where we interacted with each other. We also had weekly calls, where we discussed project details. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The engagement was professionally managed, especially in terms of setting timelines. We missed some deadlines, but that was because of delays in the delivery of information from outside sources. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any. There would always be room for improvement, but in this particular project, the InvoZone team was truly good. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be ready in advance and try as much as you can to deliver the required information to InvoZone quickly. A lot of times, they come back to us needing permission to access certain information and we’re not ready. Similarly, work closely with their developers and ask them to provide the maximum amount of information to you in terms of the project’s progress. That way, you won’t waste time. 

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the senior software engineer at Marhamfy.

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

My company needed to develop a healthcare mobile application urgently, due to the tight deadline. It is generally extremely difficult to get it done at such short notice. However, the dedicated teams at InvoZone got it done without any difficulty.

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

Despite the tight deadline that InvoZone’s team had to meet, they stayed in touch, communicating each and everything throughout the project. As the first step, they thoroughly researched the market as they consider it a crucial step in developing a mobile application. The next step was to build the wireframe and design to make it user-friendly.

Next came the development process that involved coding and testing to make it 100% bug-free. The last step was to deploy the app in the app store. Their effective communication made the final product according to our needs and requirements, saving us from the disappointment of not liking the final product. They used the following technologies to develop our healthcare app; React, Python and Angular.
