Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

JSP has helped us build a stable and reliable system all from a few ideas. The management team helped us solve for problems that we couldn't do on our own. Prior to JSP, we were demonstration the "what if" scenario to clients. We were selling reports that we created manually. Volodya, Serhiy, Olesia and the rest of the team have been phenomenal in helping us build a system that stands the test of time. I couldn't have asked for a better vendor/partner to work with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We set up staging environments, JIRA reporting systems, BitBucket to QA processes. From mock-ups to daily sync-up meetings to answer questions about requirements, the outcomes were measured by sales. The system developed just worked.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Daily sync ups everyday was the most helpful. Ability to uncover issues helped that I didn't realize about. This really depends on the developer but that's why JSP is different.They vet their developers and by the time they're on a project, they have the skillsets needed to perform their assigned tasks.

What was your primary form of communication with JetSoftPro?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their ability to be understanding of client problems and needs. Their flexibility and the culture of the company are what truly separated JetSoftPro from other offshore custom development ventures. There are tons of other development shops but if you want a scalable and personalized experience, JetSoftPro is the choice for your company.

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

Every company can improve. JSP is receptive to feedback. That said, if I had to come up with an area for suggested improvement? My only recommendation would be when there are developer changes, the hand off process should be smoother in terms of documentations.

We had a biweekly touchpoint set up with their account managers. Account managers were very responsive and always available to help with any issues. JetSoftPro was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

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

It is not easy to find Flutter and Dart developers as it is a new stack. Their developers were extremely knowledgeable and hardworking. Their ability to learn a new domain and quickly start contributing was far more than we expected. Attention to detail from QA was astounding. Helped us a lot to release with confidence.

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

Can't think of any

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My client is a CPA that works with dentist offices, and he built an application to help dentists manage their business. The first version of the application used a Microsoft .NET C# application to pull data from the most common dental practice management software and push it to an online Microsoft SQL Server via a WSEServices application running in the Azure cloud. The data is then downloaded by my client via another C# application that pushes the data into a Microsoft Excel workbook which contains very detailed formulas and Visual Basic code to create a series of unique graphs and charts inside of Excel, which can then be manipulated by my client or the dentist office owner at their discretion. The original application was used to download and process data once a month and was mostly analyzing historical data. The client desired a cloud-based application which could download and process data near real time and then display the report results through an online application. The cloud-based application allowed us to develop more complex daily metrics, appointment management tools, and forward-looking projections. The new application architecture is built around Spark, Kubernetes, Akka, Cassandra, Kafka, Play, Flyway, Slick and Angular. The application now has 20 different user roles and three different license levels to allow my client to sell the application and meet a wide range of customer needs. There are numerous unique settings that the client and users can customize in the application that modify how metrics are calculated. The online application was also built with mobile device access in mind. The company I work for was hired by my client to build a team that could create a cloud-based application. My company internally developed and maintained development, testing, staging and production environments and utilizes GitLab for a team of 12 developers spanning 13 hours of time zones. As the project manager on the project for the last four years I am responsible for managing the work backlog in Redmine, interpreting, and clarifying client requirements and overseeing the hiring of team members.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We initially selected JetsoftPro to provide the backend developers on the project. This was such a great experience that we soon expanded their involvement to include big data developers that could handle the Cassandra piece of the project.

SOLUTION

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

We discovered them through a web search and once we started talking with the sales rep we knew they were a great fit. We needed a solution that would be easy to work with and be a cost effective solution for our needs.

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

As the project manager, I assigned work tasks and priorities, and the developers would execute. The developers would internally review each other’s code and then also have the code tested by an independent QA person. The team would have weekly calls and I always appreciated how the JetsoftPro developers would actively participate on the call and offer up solutions and ideas for other team members’ problems.

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

The project team has both resources located in the United States and in Europe. Our sysadmin, project manager, and client are in the United States. In Europe we have 2 front-end developers, 2 backend developers, 2 database designers, 1 C# developer, 3 big-data developers, and 1 QA person. We used Jetsoftpro developers to fill 2 backend positions and 1 big data position. The next time I have to expand the team I will be adding another JetsoftPro resource.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

JetsoftPro began working on the project while it was still in the planning phase, and they were instrumental in getting us to a product that is live in production. My client is actively selling the product and new users are being added all the time. JetsoftPro helped us get the product launched successfully.

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

JetsoftPro has great internal project management controls and if your project needs project management support then they can do that. Their developers can also work directly with your own project manager like they did on my project. JetsoftPro is very organized, and it is easy to work with them.

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

I have been working with JetsoftPro since before Covid and I still work with them today. I have been thoroughly impressed with how well the developers and the JetsoftPro company have handled the recent stresses in the world. The most impressive thing about JetsoftPro is they have kept charging forward through it all and I have not felt any drop in productivity. They can handle whatever you have on your risk management matrix.

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

The JetsoftPro developers work hard, develop great code, communicate effectively, work well with outside team members, are flexible and they are just a joy to have on a team. The JetsoftPro company produces accurate, timely invoices and the management is an absolute pleasure to work with to get your project organized. I could not ask for a better experience so no, there are no areas to improve.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO of a consumer packaged goods company with multiple brands selling on Shopify. We also have a game-like app integrated with our product.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired them to develop some of our back-end architecture on AWS (Lambda, S3, API Gateway, SNS, RDS, etc.). They went beyond these original goals and even helped us with other aspect related to Shopify integration, auth, and even Flutter development.

SOLUTION

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

I looked at several vendors. The conversations I had with JSP convinced me the could do it and had excellent customer service. Biggest deciding factor was the ability to leverage the part-time expertise of any of their engineers. Some aspects of what we were building had never been done before.

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

Main steps were develop key integrations, build those into back-end functionalities, then tie them together to enable some of our core tech on the back end. The deliverables were of course several codebases, and the fact that this code is deployed and working now on AWS.

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

We worked most consistently with 4 people, but also benefitted numerous times from the expertise of several others. Approximately 9 people total helped with this project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project manager was essential. She multiplied the effectiveness of everyone on their team. Several times we had to add a new capability that wasn't straightforward.

The project manager found the necessary expertise in their network and seamlessly involved them as needed. Everything was so simple from our perspective.

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

Daily stand-ups with review of progress of tickets. Progress was very consistent. Each day we overcame blockers. Often they demo'd new functionalities. We used Jira in the Kanban format.

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

They were effective with respect to a very complex longer-term plan but at the same time were flexible whenever we made new requests out of the blue

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

Not at this time.

BACKGROUND

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.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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.

SOLUTION

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.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an Account Manager in a company that provides custom development services to a wide range of tech companies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We currently have a few projects going on simultaneously, using the following technologies: IOS development Andorid development C++ development Angular development

SOLUTION

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

I researched via Clutch and LinkedIn. The deciding factors were the level of the professional conversation and the customer service.

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

We are using JetSoftPro for some of our clients that require dedicated developers. The technologies used (for now) are IOS, Android, C++, Angular and counting...

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

There are 4 people overall. Mid-mobile developers. Senior C++ developer. Mid+/Senior Angular developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The developers are doing great work, both from a technical perspective and the strategic one. On top of that, when there is some kind of comment from the client's side, concerning his satisfaction from a certain developer or a certain behavior of the developers, we get an instant professional response from JetSoftPrto. One thing is a good collaboration when things are good, another is to solve problems when there are, and they definitely do it.

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

It varies for every client. Mostly, sprints and deliverables.

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

Their customer service has been impressive. There are so many players on the market nowadays, not so many trustful partners though.

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

We all have places to improve, but in general, we are pleased.

BACKGROUND

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.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with JetSoftPro?

We needed someone to add certain features to our platform.

SOLUTION

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.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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.
