Kultprosvet

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

Kultprosvet did an amazing job. I was really satisfied because they did the work super fast. They’re very skilled. It was a good experience.

How did Kultprosvet perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication was really fluid. They were super reactive. They also provided good advice and tips; for instance, we wanted some tasks done on a Friday afternoon, and they advised waiting a couple of days because when you work on migrations, you might see issues over the next 48 hours. They over-delivered, in a sense. The task was quite basic, but they didn’t treat it as if it were a small task.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re a well-rounded team that knows their stuff. They communicate super well. This combination of having affordable prices and really knowledgeable people that communicate well is really good.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The communication with project managers was really good, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to speak with the developers. That communication wasn’t as good. It wasn’t necessarily bad, though; also, project manager is there to handle the breach between the client and the devs. Their first language is not English, but I don’t know if they could improve upon that.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Depending on the nature of the work, I’d come with really detailed instructions, which was the case for us. Our team is super communicative, and we do the work ourselves before going to the devs. Their team is really full-stack and has a lot of skills, but it’s better if you come with some well-prepared mockups, a road plan, and everything broken down to save time.

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

I was amazed that they finished the new version of the site and added a feature in just one month. I didn't have to wait 6–7 months for one version like I had to in the past. Then, we did some smaller upgrades, which they also did very quickly. Everything started working very smoothly. 

Their quality of work is great. The team is very responsive, which has impacted our work here as well, because time is money. I’ve very happy with their work.

How did Kultprosvet perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project manager is responsive, and he explains everything. If he doesn’t understand something, he asks. They’re in touch with me on a daily basis to check how everything is going. We use email and Slack. If I need something, they always answer the phone. It’s been really good; everything is transparent.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their founder is included in emails and tracks everything that is done with the project. If there are any problems, he jumps in.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could lower costs, but their prices are reasonable compared to my own company. They’re very professional and do good work.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear on exactly what you want. Have a plan, and they will do it.

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

They’ve been doing a great job. I was able to save a significant amount of time by not having to learn React Native myself, and their work has allowed me to focus on other things. They’ve bridged the gaps in my knowledge, especially the iOS and Android-specific aspects of app development.

It would cost me three times as much to hire a developer in Norway, so I’ve been able to save a lot of money through their work.

How did Kultprosvet perform from a project management standpoint?

Kultprosvet’s project managers are eager to understand the situation before offering a solution. They’re very direct and forthcoming about their ideas, which I seriously appreciate. For this project, though, we’re just in touch with our developer. Communication has been very smooth.

I’ve never met them in person, but we have daily meetings and communicate through Slack every day. We also communicate through video calls and use Bitbucket to track any issues.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re a cohesive team with lots of experience. Although I’m currently only working with one person, they work as a team when any questions come up. Relative to past developers who say yes to everything but end up failing to provide, they’re very communicative and competent.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re working on it, but their team varies in their level of English proficiency. I’ve gotten lucky with our current developer, but another developer may not know English as well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d advise you to have a project manager because I think this helped me understand how they work and what I can do for a successful project. Prepare the work for them, and don’t expect to approach them with work on short notice.

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

The new UI is more appropriate for the target audience, and feedback has always been very positive across all our customers. Sales doubled last year, and the site as a whole has a much better UX.

How did Kultprosvet perform from a project management standpoint?

They're very good project managers. Almost all of our communication is through Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We've had a very good experience with them. We trust them, and we'll continue to work with them. If we ever need something done, they always deliver.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They missed a couple of bugs, but they fixed them right away when we reported them. 95% of the time, everything is great. They're very quick to respond when something goes awry, and they're a great partner.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I don't have any specific advice. Their account management and development teams are very hands on. Everyone is in the loop, and it's a very collaborative environment.
