BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We have roots in Poland and we operate all over Europe, creating solutions for clients from Belgium, Germany, Finland or Norway.etc. Industries/branches we have worked for: finance&banking, beauty, sports tech, entertainment, production, car industry, healthcare, fundraising, logistics, retail.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire itCraft?

We hired itCraft developers to strengthen the existing team in our company and provide customers with high-quality applications. Our goal was to find well qualified programmers who will quickly complete the process of onboarding into a new project and bring true value to the team.

SOLUTION

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

As a company with Polish capital, we wanted to cooperate with a domestic company. That is why we limited our search for a cooperation partner to the territory of Poland. After researching on the Internet and reading the opinions of other satisfied customers, we decided to go with itCraft.

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

Our cooperation began with sharing the existing code with newly hired developers from itCraft, brainstorming sessions and preparing a refactoring plan for key areas of the project. Then we smoothly moved on to the implementation stage of new functionalities, which were requested by the client. As a company, we use agile techniques in our daily work, so we typically plan work for the team for 2 weeks (sprints) and respect main Scrum ceremonies like daily meetings, demos and retrospective meetings.

Describe the recruitment process in detail.

We worked with itCraft’s programmers from various areas and have dedicated contact people (Project Manager and the Sales Manager), with whom I discuss all aspects of our cooperation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The information about our projects is confidential, but I can confirm that together with itCraft we help our clients make good decisions in the area of key functionalities and understanding of end users’ unmet needs. Clients are satisfied with the results of our work.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project implementation was smooth and the communication at every stage of the project was transparent and dynamic. The Project Manager/Sales Manager was always ready to take up the topics I reported and the time response was satisfactory. The team operated efficiently and productively, the pace of work was adapted to the plan and scope of the project. Communication took place by email and via videoconferences channel.

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

First of all, responsiveness and communication at a very high level. Secondly, the implementation of the project with the itCraft team was well planned, systematic and professional. I was impressed by the level of knowledge of the team members. Furthermore, the Tech Leads and developers involved in creating the solution were remarkable.

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

Each project teaches us something new, requires an individual approach to the client and a thorough understanding of his needs. Therefore, I believe that there is always room for improvement.. The most important thing, however, is to find space for retrospection and share your observations about what cooperation looks like. And in this area itCraft meets my expectations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire itCraft?

Our brand has been creating a world of fashion full of beauty for over 20 years with its customers in mind. A world based on diverse and consistent collections. Dedicated to all those who are looking for a way to express themselves. We listen and observe our customers, thus, in order to be even closer to them, we decided to create a mobile application. This way, shopping with us is at your fingertips. We wanted to create a mobile application to present the company.

That's how the first, basic version was created. In the next step, we decided to expand the existing solution. The expansion of the scope included the addition of purchases to the application. And the development of functionalities that ease browsing and searching for products by customers.

SOLUTION

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

As a company with Polish capital, we wanted to cooperate with a domestic company. That is why we limited our search for a cooperation partner to the territory of Poland. After researching on the Internet and reading the opinions of other satisfied customers, itCraft was our choice.

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

itCraft was responsible for creating the Android mobile application with a simple content management admin panel. The first version of the mobile application was the basic version. As a continuation of the cooperation, a more advanced version was created, allowing users to shop, easily search and browse through the products they are interested in. Moreover, the payments via PayU were crucial. To optimize the solution, a web administration panel has been created, thanks to which we can manage part of the content displayed in the application.

The itCraft team was responsible for the implementation of the full application development process. Namely, from design to implementation, including the implementation into the production environment. The itCraft team provided us with full support around UX / UI, which allowed us to design a useful and functional solution for the users.

Describe the recruitment process in detail.

My main point of contact was the Project Manager. I discussed with the PM all aspects of the project, the status, and progress of work, or any changes or optimizations. The project team consisted of two Android developers, a tester, an analyst, and a UX / UI designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within a few weeks of the release of the first version of the app, over 10,000+ users have downloaded it. When we added in-app purchases, we saw a jump to 100,000+ users. This gave us a real, extra sales channel to reach our customers and an actual increase in the number of orders. Hundreds of customers have shared their opinions with us about the functionalities available in the application over the course of several years. Thanks to this, we were able to get inspiration in which direction to develop it.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project implementation was smooth. The communication at every stage of the project was transparent and dynamic. The Project Manager was always ready to take up the topics I reported. The response to them was satisfactory. The team operated efficiently and productively, the pace of work was adapted to the plan and scope of the project. Communication took place by e-mail and via videoconferences channel. Any longer meeting was planned in detail. This way, we effectively used the time. We left each meeting with the substantive input needed for further activities.

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

The implementation of the project with the itCraft team was planned, systematic and professional. I was impressed by the level of knowledge of the team members. Furthermore, the Tech Leads and developers involved in creating the solution were remarkable. Full professionalism at the level of project management also deserves recognition. The team gained my trust from the beginning I felt that I was working with professionals and experts in their areas.

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

There were no major delays or communication problems during the project implementation. So, it is difficult for me to indicate a specific area for improvement. The itCraft team strives for continuous development and the highest level of professionalism. They have the best specialists in their fields. In my humble opinion, they take care of the space for development and improvement of the quality of their services by themselves. And it works very well.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a custom software development company specializing in web and mobile application development. We are a software house with headquarters located in Poland.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire itCraft?

We hire itCraft to strengthen our teams in some projects. We needed good programmers to put together teams for project implementation.

SOLUTION

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

We were looking for the best specialists in the Polish market. We have defined the requirements we set for programmers who are to join our teams. Furthermore, we conducted the recruitment process, including a technical interview and verification of the technical competencies. Among the many available programmers, those from itCraft were the most suited to our team and adequately qualified. We could focus on the implementation of the project with a competent team.

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

As a standard, each project begins with requirements analysis and graphic interface design. Then we move on to the implementation stage of individual components. Usually, it is a backend, web application, and Android and iOS mobile applications. We carry out our work using agile techniques, such as Scrum. Planning work for short periods of time, typically 2 weeks (sprints), daily meetings, demos, and cyclical presentations of work progress in front of the client are the principal ceremonies that we carry out in each project. We attach great importance to providing high-quality products to our clients. The QA Engineer is involved in the team's work throughout the entire software development.

Describe the recruitment process in detail.

After the review of the project and when a definition of the need was created with our client, we started looking for support in the backend development. In total, we had over 20 candidates interviewed in the 3-phase process. The team suggested by itCraft has turned out to be the best fit.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We create many applications together. The client mainly determines the business idea and functional scope. We support him in making good decisions. Our clients' applications are top-rated. They have hundreds of thousands of satisfied users or an increase in turnover thanks to the possibility of online shopping.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We value very effective daily communication with the team. Thanks to our experience, our team strengthens programmers and consultants. They can look for the most optimal solutions also from a business perspective. Our teams have the same work style, so from day one, this workflow was smooth and open.

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

I am most impressed with how itCraft cares about the development of their employees. Searching for projects most suited to the programmer, his competencies, and experience. This way, he can develop in the area and direction that interests him most.

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

You can always find fields for optimization. It is significant to ensure the effective exchange of experiences between projects and teams. The main point is for one team to learn from the experience of another team. This way, we can ensure this time and plan such an exchange of knowledge and experiences. There are many factors that need to be synchronized, but this skill allows you to build competencies not individually but for the team as a whole. itCraft provides cyclical meetings within and between competence teams. Here you can always focus more and more specifically on translating this experience exchange into the effectiveness of subsequent projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired itCraft to create the complete User Experience & Interface design of our brand and create mobile applications available for iOS and Android devices, as well as PWA web applications for customers and agents.

SOLUTION

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

We started the search for a suitable company through research on the Internet, sent an inquiry to itCraft to which the co-owner of the company replied, and thus we started the first talks about what we needed. In the assessment of vendors, we took into account the price, customer opinions, and the existing portfolio. The most important for us was the offered quality at an affordable price.

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

We started our cooperation by carrying out product design workshops in terms of business and technical assumptions. The most important document created after the workshop was the application flow, which assumed their full functioning. On this basis, designs were created, i.e. UX / UI, and then we moved to development. The technology consultation was very helpful, as it allowed us to select the best one for our products. As a result, it is now also possible to use them without any problems and to further develop them in the future. From time to time, when some activity related to their performance is required, itCraft helped us with this.

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

In total, about 10 people worked on the project, depending on the phase. The team was composed of a Project Manager, web developers, flutter developer, backend developers, UX / UI designer, and Quality Assurance engineer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All applications developed by itCraft function flawlessly, their users praise their quality and intuitiveness, and our agents who use them every day send us positive feedback and say that they help them in their daily work.

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

Our cooperation has been very effective at every stage of implementation. We have gone through many stages of application development together, which proves that we had a good time cooperating. So far, we have been in contact with each other and, depending on our business plans, we look forward to further cooperation.

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

We have received a lot of help from itCraft in terms of consulting and assistance in choosing the right technology for our applications. The quality of their outputs was at a very high level, which was very much appreciated.

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

I believe that there was too much rotation in the team, in our case Project Manager changed. For people who do not work in the field of new technologies on a daily basis, it is very important to have one trusted person to cooperate with. In the case of a development team, it is quite common for team members to change, however, sometimes the situation increases the development time and has an impact on the whole timeline of the project.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired itCraft to improve an existing WordPress-based website, create the visual identity of our brand, conduct product discovery workshops, prepare application screen designs and create native mobile applications available on Android and iOS devices.

SOLUTION

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

One of our employees recommended us to cooperate with itCraft. In the beginning, we wanted to check them by collaborating on changes to the website and creating branding. It quickly turned out that it would not be our last project done together.

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

We targeted a solution capable of leveraging our artificial intelligence mechanism to support individual cryptocurrency investor decisions. The first stage of cooperation was to improve the existing website and create the so-called brand book, i.e., complete visual identification of the brand. Then both teams held a few days' workshops defining the business and technical assumptions of the product.

With such a base, we created a User Stories list that defined the flow of the application, then wireframes and mockups of the application's screens. The well-made design phase allowed for making a technologically correct, user-friendly, and intuitive application.

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

The team consisted of 14 people during all phases of the project. Additionally, itCraft provided an additional person to the team whose competencies are not part of the itCraft team. As a result, we did not have to spend additional time looking for the right person to join our team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Both apps were released at the scheduled time. They are now used by many users and the feedback is positive. Moreover, the application works smoothly, without major faults requiring complex repairs.

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

They simply followed agile best practices which allowed for our ability to communicate effectively. The time difference was a challenge that would have made the project difficult without the use of a disciplined and consistent method. The challenge revealed itself during time-sensitive collaboration responsiveness and during our secondary QA. Overall it worked and empowering the ItCraft PM with more decision-making authority could have improved this issue.

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

I really appreciate their expertise at every stage of creating a mobile application. This process consists of many factors; not only the developers' competencies are essential. The excellent work process in every phase, experience, and thinking outside the box are reflected in the product.

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

There will be something in every project that can be done and improved. In our case, the issue of decision-making and the setting of thresholds of responsibility would shorten the time of making high-importance project decisions, primarily when we work on two distant continents.
