We have successfully used Keep Calm Labs on a number of critical client projects. The scope of work has included UI UX design, Landing Page, Website and Wordpress Development, and Mobile app development using hybrid technology and React Native. The goal for each project was the timely delivery of a high quality and innovative solution that met or exceeded our clients expectations. Keep Calm Labs has enabled QPR to consistently achieve this goal.

SOLUTION

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

QPR undertook an extensive evaluation of potential partners based upon an organisations ability to deliver. While the cost of services was a consideration a more important factor was an ability to deliver high quality innovative products first time, every-time.

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

QPR has engaged with Keep Calm Labs on a number of projects. Our preferred delivery lifecycle is to utilise an agile approach which allows deliveries to be made in the shortest possible timeframe and ensures that requirements of QPR's clients are fully understood. A project usually commences with the creation of multiple concept designs that the QPR client can review.

This focusses the needs of the client and often identifies opportunities for improving the delivery that the client were not aware of themselves. Products delivered have been on various technology platforms (e.g. iOS, Android) and have utilised various tools (e.g. hybrid technology, React Native).

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

For each project Keep Calm Labs assigned a SPOC (Single Point of Contact) who had expert domain knowledge for the type of delivery being made. They managed and coordinated the multiple internal resources who were working on the delivery and brought them into the conversation with QPR only as and when required. This approach streamlined and simplified communications and allowed QPR to delegate the work with total confidence.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
