Kambda assisted the initial development of a successful search engine site. The vendor used HTML5, PHP, MySQL, CSS, and JavaScript to build the platform.
Kambda was able to provide valuable insight during the planning stages of their project. Through communication on Slack and Skype, the vendor held discussions with professionalism and great focus. They also passed all their requirements ahead of schedule.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
CEO of Find.com, Inc.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Kambda, and what were your goals?
We hired Kambda to help us develop a new search engine concept. The concept was to create a search engine that would allow users to create their own "Find Engines" (Don't Just Search - Find!) comprised of sites that the user wants to get results from. They could create their own Shopping Find Engine, or their own Sports Find Engine, etc. Users could also share their Find Engines with others.
SOLUTION
How did you select Kambda and what were the deciding factors?
We used an outsourcing expert called Accelerance who evaluated our needs and introduced us to a few overseas candidates. We selected Kambda based on their expertise, responsiveness, culture, and English-language skills. Their time zone was also close to ours.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Kambda performed multiple projects/steps for us:
Set up Project and integrated with GIT
Re-established modal window feature
Migration to AWS. We also had a pre-existing server issue that we had not been able to resolve ourselves, and Kambda fixed it immediately.
Developed our Find Engines, including ability to create, modify, save and delete custom find engines.
Integrated google analytics.
Added screens and functionality based on a prototype we had created.
Electron app embedded inside the script so that the Find.com system could work as a standalone app.
Created the concept of a mini browser instead of using the search engine script we started with.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked directly with Silvia Charpentier and Emilio Acosta, who are the principals of Kambda.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Kambda was able to deliver all of their projects ahead of schedule, but the biggest win for us was the added value they contributed along the way. They came up with better ways to do things, better features, alternative technical solutions, etc. The investors we shared the technology with were all impressed.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
They set us up on a Slack Channel, and we also had regular Skype calls. They were always responsive when we needed something, and their professionalism and relationship focus made it easy to work with them. Sometimes you dread having to talk to technical people, but it was the opposite with Kambda.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They handled everything for us. We didn't have to get in the weeds with specific developers or handle all the project management detail. Silvia and Emilio were very personable and professional and took care of making sure everything worked on time, on budget, and in a lot of cases better than what we had originally expected.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Not that I can think of. I have referred them to multiple other people since, and I wouldn't do that if I had any concerns.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
WineGlass Marketing offers DTC Marketing for the Wine and Spirits industry. I am the Director of Technology
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Kambda, and what were your goals?
We needed someone to take over the development of a ROR application that acts as integration between Mailchimp and a wine-based eCommerce/CRM platform Commerce7. We need someone to make code improvements and help us add new features to the application as well as help with maintenance.
SOLUTION
How did you select Kambda and what were the deciding factors?
We have tried other offshore development houses (India and Ukraine) and had difficulties with the time difference. Kambda is only a couple of hours different times wise and that makes it easier to work with them. They also have highly skilled English-speaking employees which makes it easier to communicate overall.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Programming in Ruby on Rails and managing the application that sits on Heroku. They helped us switch to new APIs that were not rate limited, added some features that let us bypass our migration process, helped us pass new and more data between the applications we are integrating.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
A developer, the CTO and a Sys admin (3 people).
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
They are smart and they deliver their services particularly well. They are very knowledgeable, hard-working, and make themselves available.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We use Slack and Zoom for communications. We use Asana to manage tasks.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
I impressed with their willingness to find solutions and talk out solutions. Many contractors I have used in the past, just want the facts and they disappear and then reappear with a solution which usually has to be tweaked over and over again.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I think most of this is on me. Making sure I am giving them clear requirements.
