JetSoftPro

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work at BrightQuery, a fintech data firm that tracks every private and public company in the country.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

The biggest challenge we were trying to address was finding highly-skilled developers to keep up with the demands of the financial data industry in the US.

What was the scope of their involvement?

JetSoftPro created a login dashboard for users to load and visualize data. They first helped us analyze the data that we have, which we’ve been selling as a raw CRV file. Our clients had been asking us to deliver the product in a nice UI where users can slice and dice the data, and look at them from different angles and sectors.

We were trying to get that done locally, but there were a lot of challenges as many Python developers have a hard time visualizing the data — JetSoftPro has their own roster of data analysts and BI individuals that helped us map out new data as we needed to for our clients.

Our clients wanted to be able to view the data as a regular dashboard and for them, the biggest feature would be a large dataset and their own dashboard — most of our clients that don’t have their own dashboard have to go through their analytics department to load data into a system. It takes a while to visualize the data and that’s one of the reasons why we needed JetSoftPro.

For the backend, they used Postgres on an AWS stack using Elastic. We also tried a lot of different analytics with them including Tableau, Looker, SaaS, but none of those worked out well. Using JetSoftPro, we developed our own platform with the Postgres database and a series of JavaScript libraries to visualize the data.

Furthermore, we provided a matrix of different market comps that do the data visualization. To get the customization done, we had to give JetSoftPro samples of companies that are already doing this type of service. We have our own hosting capabilities and they’re currently helping us with maintenance and support.

What is the team composition?

There are about six people involved in this project, including a project coordinator, BI analyst, a DevOps specialist, a front- and backend developer, and a designer.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

I was referred to them by a friend of mine from a previous company.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $200,000 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in February 2020.

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

Thanks to JetSoftPro, we now have a full set of API and our own dashboard where clients can upload their files. The dashboard connects to our system and provides users with a matching capability to connect with private companies — it contains the data, the financials, history, and performance results.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is great. They have people that are either available or they find them for us. We communicate via Asana, Skype, Google Hangouts, and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We like that they’re very flexible. Sometimes a client will ask us for a specific type of data and when we don’t have the resources, we go to JetSoftPro for the type of individual we need to analyze the data.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s a cultural difference between our companies, so they could improve on their communication skills.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to have your own local project manager. Identify the strength and skillset you’re looking for.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the co-founders of Brandjectory, a web-based platform that connects consumer packaged goods investors (CPG) to early-stage CPG founders.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

We needed someone to add certain features to our platform.

What was the scope of their involvement?

The first thing JetSoftPro did was set up our server on AWS, which they continue to monitor. They’ve since helped us implement a variety of upgrades to our platform, like tweaking our registration process and making our user pages customizable to allow our users to build their profiles. 

Furthermore, we’ve tasked them to improve the social media aspect of our platform by having them add features like document sharing and group chats. In line with that, they’ve also improved our search functionality to make it easier for our customers to discover each other. JetSoftPro continues to update the platform.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with about 10 teammates.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

A colleague referred them to us. We interviewed them along with a few other vendors, but we chose JetSoftPro because they had worked on similar projects in the past. Their rates were also very reasonable.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020, and it’s ongoing.

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

JetSoftPro has done an outstanding job — everything they’ve done has come out perfectly. They’re genuinely committed to the project.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management has been excellent. We use Jire to list our different projects and tasks, and they estimate how long each would take to complete. Most of the time, they’re right on target and meet the deadlines they set.

Furthermore, they’re a team of great communicators — we always know what they’re working on. We have weekly meetings, but we’re in touch almost daily. To communicate, we use Skype and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

JetSoftPro has been a solid partner. They don’t just take our requests and do them independently, but they listen to our goals to see if they could find a better way to help us. The team always gives us options and their pros and cons, which we appreciate. They’re just wonderful people, and we love working with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Initially, they didn’t include the testing phase in their time estimates. However, we’ve already resolved that issue. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ask for clarification on their estimates and be open to their suggestions on other ways to achieve your desired outcome.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the product director at Speakers for Schools, a nonprofit charity in the United Kingdom. We provide disadvantaged youth with access to educational opportunities.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

We needed their team to handle our application and software development efforts.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Our organization has been around for about 10 years, and we've thought it's about time that we optimize our online platforms to maximize our reach and services. JetSoftPro supports our software development pipeline by building an application and a CMS platform for our internal operations and youth program. They work in sprints with our internal engineering team to implement these software solutions using our existing tech stack.

Apart from building our platforms, JetSoftPro handles our app maintenance efforts to ensure that our newly built application always functions at an ideal state. We've recently tasked them with developing an experience portal intended to serve as the main avenue for all our digital operations.

What is the team composition?

We work with four resources from JetSoftPro, including a NET dev, a Xamarin developer, a QA engineer, and a frontend developer specializing in Angular.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

We previously onboarded two development agencies that unfortunately didn't meet our goals and expectations, so we decided to move forward and look for a different team. JetSoftPro was one of the companies we shortlisted after a diligent research and vetting process. We liked their clear-cut approach and saw their genuine interest in building our product, thus, we hired them as an extension of our team.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent £140,000 (approximately $190,000 USD) so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We kicked off our engagement in February 2021, and it's ongoing.

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

We've been behind our original schedule by 3–4 months since we've encountered several loopholes in the product partially developed by the previous agency we've hired. JetSoftPro has come into the picture to help us resolve all those vulnerabilities while creating new solutions that have led to the full development of our app. Our product is now live, and we've secured over 6,000 app downloads so far — it's safe to say that everyone's pleased with JetSoftPro's work.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Slack and have weekly check-ins via Microsoft Teams, while we rely on Jira for project management. JetSoftPro is a responsive and deadline-oriented team that works efficiently with our internal development team. They produce high-quality deliverables and make it a point to provide us with prompt and transparent project updates. Additionally, they take part in every project phase with evident dedication and interest — we truly feel that they're an extension of our own team.

What did you find most impressive about them?

JetSoftPro not only cares about the product they have to deliver, but they also strive to make a genuine and harmonious working relationship with us. Their team goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is functional and each product they create represents our reputation and vision.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They're already a great and dependable partner — there's nothing else to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear and honest about your goals and expectations. JetSoftPro's team will deliver your exact needs once you relay these with transparency.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an account manager at NearCoast.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

We didn’t have the internal resources to meet our external clients’ needs, so we were looking to hire additional development team resources.

What was the scope of their involvement?

JetSoftPro is providing UI/UX design services, software development, web development, and mobile development. They also perform business analysis, QA, and maintenance.

What is the team composition?

We mainly communicate with JetSoftPro's sales rep and project manager. There are roughly 10 people on the team, including software developers, designers, and a business analyst.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

I researched companies and considered roughly six of them for the project. JetSoftPro had the best communication skills, and they asked good questions. Above all, they provided a detailed estimation.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $50,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing work began in February 2019.

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

When the MVP has been delivered to one of our third-party clients, they've been extremely satisfied with the team's output. As a result, they've made a significant investment in our company. The team has been a constant help from the start, and they continue to meet expectations with their quality work.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

I like JetSoftPro's project management style. They're always available, and they quickly reply. We communicate primarily via Facebook Messenger.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have excellent business analysis skills, and they work based on real data. Overall, we have a good relationship with JetSoftPro.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m not sure what they can improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with JetSoftPro because they deliver what they promise.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a software solutions firm.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

Israel became very expensive in terms of human resources, and there was a lack of resources. It became very hard to recruit and we decided to look for an offshore solution.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve been working with them on a monthly contract. They recruited a development resource for us. They’re in charge of the recruitment process and screening. We manage the resources. They provide software development work. The resources use .NET, Angular, and databases.

What is the team composition?

We’re working with one developer at the moment. We have an account manager who is our contact person.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

We flew to Ukraine and had meetings with eight different companies. We decided to go with JetSoftPro.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2019, and the work is ongoing.

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

I’m pleased with the account manager and the developer. They’re a good company. They’re dedicated to my needs and quickly address and solve them.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication is good. They use SharePoint.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re quick in responding and they have reasonable prices. They really address my issues and don’t leave me hanging.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could back up their developers more with professional resources.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a CTO at a Software Development company. For a decade we build custom software solutions, web and mobile apps, e-commerce solutions.

For what projects/services did your company hire JetSoftPro?

We were looking to create the best product for the fairest cost within a fantastic time-frame. It's difficult to do that especially with offshore developers that can be challenging to work with both сommunication-wise and quality-wise. We needed a group of professionals with a proven track record that JetSoftPro provided and got work done over any expectation.

What were your goals for this project?

JetSoftPro developed Real-Time Robotics Control Windows-based applications for configuring, tracking and controlling the industrial Gecko and Tactile robot grippers.

How did you select this vendor?

They reached us via e-mail. We did research and decided that their experience match our needs and demands. So we started working together.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

It was innovative Gecko and Tactile industry robots- revolutionizes human-robot collaboration, as it is the world’s first of its kind - a market-ready adhesive gripping solution that can easily pick up flat and smooth surfaces, e.g., solar panels and metal sheets, as well as more porous surfaces, e.g., printed circuit boards.

By eliminating the need for compressed air and hose systems, manufacturing businesses will experience a sizable reduction in energy and maintenance costs in addition to an improved work environment due to less noise and dust.

JetSoftPro developed Real-Time Robotics Control Windows-based applications for configuring and working with Gecko and Tactile robot grippers.

What was the team composition?

There were 2 representatives from our side: the head of the project, and the engineer who contacted the JetSoftPro team directly and he also developed the firmware, with which they connected the robotics control app via HTTP(S) protocol.

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

When they get working on a project, they follow through. It’s been very refreshing to see them back up the hours that they work by itemizing each quarter-hour and notating exactly what’s being done. They’re very diligent with what is actually delivered and it allows us to go back and review things iteratively.

They definitely know what they're doing, which is the reason we've continued doing business with them. Their high-quality work is the reason they're still in the picture. With any kind of contractor, there are difficulties of not being physically in the office, but this is definitely the next best option and the bang for the buck is fantastic.

They've worked with high profile clients all the way down to startups, so they understand all mentalities. It's been great having a partner that can get it done and work alongside us, even if it's in the middle of the night.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We had daily meetings twice a week and every Friday JetSoftPro team showed us a demo. We contacted via email or on Skype and JIRA was the primary project management system we used.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their diligence and eagerness to get things right and done and provide the best value are what’s most impressive. They have great resolve skills and unexpectedly provide great quality service on the remote.

Are there any areas for improvement?

In working with any contractor, if they are not in your office, you need to provide as many details as possible and clearly articulate and communicate it. Every little detail smoothens the process for all parties involved.

We’ve provided not just mockups, but also arrows pointing to each item explaining what the item is and the exact color palettes for each mockup. But guys instead provide us back the math formulas which describe the tracks of grippers manipulators in 3D and make the track and control functions much efficient.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Enterprise Linux Professionals specialized in the customization of bleeding edge technologies, security, and automation. As the CEO of Enterprise Linux Professionals it is my goal to maneuver the right people into the right situations to provide positive outcomes.

For what projects/services did your company hire JetSoftPro?

We turn to JetSoftPro for especially difficult development issues. They always have the expertise required to solve any issue we run into. They are particularly useful when navigating DevOps environments, as they are skilled in every pipeline tool with which we have been confronted from version control all the way to production orchestration.

What were your goals for this project?

This project accomplished many objectives. The original code in a php application was poorly written and needed to be refactored and optimized. We needed somebody who could make sense of the code and update it in preparation for provisioning additional instances for new clients in a new environment.

How did you select this vendor?

I had the privilege of meeting the executives of JetSoftPro many years ago while visiting in Lviv, Ukraine. I kept in contact with the CEO (Serhiy) as their organization grew. I have called upon JetSoftPro for smaller projects and when I was tasked with finding a solution to this development task I was fully confident that they were equal to the task. I was able to request that some of the previous developers I had worked with also work on this project and they were able to accommodate my request.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

JetSoftPro was able to organize a team perfectly matched to the project. As unexpected needs arose they were able to grow the team to add the specific talent required to resolve the issues. They were quickly able to reproduce an environment for development, establish a code repository, and begin working on functional code. Software versions were out of date, so we updated them. Security was out-dated, so we hardened the environment. Though our original focus was on development, JetSoftPro was able to modernize and automate the entire process into a DevOps pipeline, which dramatically improved the software modification process. This has made ongoing development and maintenance much better, also.

What was the team composition?

Every project with JetSoftPro always starts with a SCRUM Master/Project Leader whose primary task is to help define the project and build the SCRUM Team. This project was larger in scope than the others we have done in the past, so there were more team members. We had Developers and Operations on the team. When required our team was able to call upon additional team members for expertise needed for specific tasks. There was always accountability for the hour consumed with a breakdown of tasks associated with the hours worked by each team member.

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

As the leader of an organization that faces unknown situations that often have not yet been addressed by anybody it is comforting to know that I have a team of professionals to call on. So far JetSoftPro has been able to successfully deliver solutions for everything I have asked of them. That is a level of professional confidence that cannot be overstated. I have worked in this field for over 20 years and my last five years association with JetSoftPro have been the best. It is empowering to know that I have a solution for anything on the other side of the door to my next challenge, even if my experience falls short of a solution. This greatly enhances my ability to offer solutions to enterprise customers in additional markets.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

As indicated previously, the first person assigned to your team is a SCRUM Master/Project Manager. JetSoftPro has strategically hired technically savvy team leaders with experience in IT to help define the projects and build your team. The on-boarding process was so smooth! There were weeks removed from the beginning phases of the project because of the orderly manner with which JetSoftPro quickly defined and prioritized tasks. An hour with them could very well be worth 5 hours with other development companies at the beginning of your project for this very reason.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Truly, their responsiveness to every single thing I needed. It's as if they've all been internally trained to find solutions and to minimize complications to their clients. Even though English is not the primary language of Ukraine, I was very impressed at the language competency of everybody with which I worked. There was never a language barrier, which is rare. For context, I have worked with several organizations prior to JetSoftPro in 5 non-English speaking countries and JetSoftPro was, by far, the best at clear and effective communication in English.

Are there any areas for improvement?

In all my years of working with developers, JetSoftPro is the organization in which I have the most confidence. On the rare occasion that our course has matched our plan they have gone above and beyond to fix anything. When something took longer than I thought it should my concern was immediately addressed and the hours were adjusted accordingly. I am sure there are areas for improvement, but the culture of the organization is such that they are not known to the client before they are addressed internally.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Mini Money Management.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

They helped us build an app that helps teachers and parents teach their kids about financial literacy. It turns the house into an economy. Kids get a salary and pay rent and take out loans, and buy items from the shop. JetSoftPro did the backend of the web app. They also got my website up and running.

What was the scope of their involvement?

I had the idea coming in, but they provided me with a lot of advice at the beginning. Because I came in with an incomplete app, they fixed the bugs and provided optimization suggestions. It ended up being that we had to rewrite the code from scratch. They’ve made it so a teacher or parent can make a classroom or household respectively and children will get salaries and have bills to pay.

We had weekly calls on Skype, and they were super helpful. As things went along, I would send them bugs and mockups of what I wanted a new feature to look like. Other times, they’d come back to me with suggestions.

What is the team composition?

At any one time, it was no more than four people. We had a project manager, and then we had at least one developer, sometimes two, and three at one time.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

It was word-of-mouth. I was looking for someone to help me finish the app and somebody knew Peter (Director of Business Development, JetSoftPro). We had an intro call and went from there.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $20,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since December 2019.

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

The quality has been unbelievable. I’ve had some of my developer friends do a few things here and there and even they say the code is super easy to read and work with. Figuring out where your bugs are is super easy.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve worked in a timely fashion, and the communication has been excellent. We have weekly Skype calls, we’re on Slack; they continually update me. It’s been very transparent on billing, as well. I’ve never gotten a bill for a total I wasn’t expecting. They give us estimates up front, and all but once they’ve come in under budget.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The ease of working together is the best. They’re professional, with quick response times as well. They’re always willing to give feedback and suggestions.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s going to be ups and downs in every project, but even when things didn’t go according to plan, they were very upfront about it and didn’t try to hide anything. We ended up switching project managers, but that was a seamless transition. We had a Skype call with the incoming and outgoing project managers so they could update each other and make sure it went well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear with what you want when you’re getting started. I made a simple mockup and a PowerPoint. If you have a vision, they’ll get it done and give you things you’ve never thought of.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of eXolve a company with a focus on reimagining the entertainment market through new products & ecosystems.

For what projects/services did your company hire JetSoftPro?

We hired JetSoftPro to create our top product: a platform capable of teleporting people all around the world without boundaries, sharing experiences and full 5-senses stimuli. The main challenge was to imagine something completely new both from the user interaction point of view and development.

What were your goals for this project?

The main goal was to find a partner capable of embracing a pioneering project capable of bringing not only developers but able to react to challenges bringing ideas, suggestions, and solutions. The short term goal, moreover, was to create an MVP to show investors the infinite potentiality of the product and start building communities around the platform. The second goal is to move forward into development (mobile app, web app, etc.) to include additional business models and create our ecosystem. We didn't create, on purpose, any detailed technical specification, but, on the other side we promoted autonomy and critical thinking.

How did you select this vendor?

The selection process was managed through common contact, a person with high trust in our company, and included CEO (me), CFO and other shareholders. The selection shortlist included 5 different companies. The process started with sharing the overall idea and then moving to technical discussions and online/offline meetings with the team. The deciding factors were: the ability to identify challenges and to bring ideas and suggestions.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The project started with 4 days meeting with the team to discuss all the project details. From UX/UI to architecture setup, and included workshops about the business model, exponential organizations, Massive Transformative Purpose, and more. During the 4 days, I tested most of the members of the team and challenge them to bring ideas (from design to features). It was a highly collaborative meeting, where the company was able to provide quick end effective feedback. We provided the overall idea about the product, while the team, in the loop with us: - created a feature workflow - created UI and UX for the project - created the backend architecture - decided and defined all technical requirements - suggested additional features - develop the product in all its aspects

What was the team composition?

The team total composition is about 15ppl with different roles: - Project manager - Designers including UI/UX - Workflow manager - Android developers - iOS developers - Backend developers - R&D team

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

At the moment, is too early ('cause we are still developing the product) to share any metrics. But for sure, what we were able to demonstrate today to our shareholders, investors and advisors received a high level of appreciation and it is, already, able to generate additional interest from our network.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The collaboration was smooth and with reciprocal satisfaction. The team is going on to manage the project with an unexpected level of enthusiasm and autonomy. The pace of development and deliverable is even superior to our expectations, and communication is based on daily feedback on Slack and weekly meeting online. Other tools we included are Figma, GDrive, OneDrive, and more online collaboration tools. We didn't experience any language barrier.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The company has different strengths: - first of all, real Agile management as demonstrated in this difficult moment where every company should face new challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic - is capable to react faster than other vendors to changes and challenges - they're a group of young professionals with high-level expertise, competences, and ideas, and with a clear passion for their job. As a result, the quality of their deliverables are always of a high standard

Are there any areas for improvement?

There are always areas of improvement, on both sides. So far we are very satisfied with the results

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a company that does collateral inspections and asset valuations for banks.

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

We have a network inspectors throughout the country who facilitate inspections and valuations. Once we received a request to inspect a business, we needed to find a local inspector to execute the task. We wanted a solution that allowed us to do inspections remotely through a video call, but all available video technology is susceptible to data connections.

What was the scope of their involvement?

JetSoftPro built a progressive web app that allows us to take control of a person’s camera remotely. Their team used WebRTC technology to develop the product, which doesn’t need to be downloaded. With the app, we’re able to capture photos using an individual’s cell phone and receive that content for a remote location.

What is the team composition?

We worked with probably 10 people from JetSoftPro throughout the different stages of the project. We interacted with project managers and developers. People left during the engagement, so JetSoftPro brought new people on to fill those positions.

How did you come to work with JetSoftPro?

Our CTO worked with them while at another company. While six other companies bid on this project, JetSoftPro offered the best price with the most expertise, so it was a good fit.

What is the status of this engagement?

JetSoftPro started their work on this project in June 2019 and finished the project in January 2020 but we have additional projects for them.

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

We have a high success rate with the web app. We had constraints on this project given the few hundred different variables if you take into account web browsers, cell phones, internet connections, and operating systems. Given the complexity of the project, we considered it a success if we reached above a 93% success rate and JetSoftPro got us to a 95.2% success rate.

How did JetSoftPro perform from a project management standpoint?

I don’t know how they could’ve performed better in terms of project management. We had daily meetings that benefited the process but we worked with a few different project managers. The first was excellent but left the company during the project. Then, we worked with two other project managers who didn’t fit right. We worked with one other project manager who was fantastic. I give JetSoftPro full marks for the two project managers who we liked.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their price is extremely competitive. They were big enough to give us the resources that we needed but also small enough to give us the attention that we needed. During the times when the project manager shifted, the CEO stepped in. He knew technical concepts as he was the CTO of a larger company. He managed the project until we transitioned to another project manager.

Are there any areas they could improve?

While the project went longer than quoted, JetSoftPro didn’t charge us for taking additional time, which doesn’t happen in this industry. That was a huge deal. The project was more complex than what they thought going into it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Do it. We’d refer anyone to JetSoftPro, specifically the team that we worked with because our project manager was unbelievable. We would’ve requested that the same staff stay on the project until its completion because turnover interrupts the process.
