What were your goals for this project?

Our goals were to automate development of the Timesheet and Re-class KPI report using Power BI. This report was being generated in Excel manually every month

How did you select this vendor?

I contacted several vendors that I found through recommendations and Internet searches. I contacted each one of the vendors to explain the problem and obtain a recommendation of the solution approach and a price quote. They were the vendor that provided the best solution proposal for a reasonable cost.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The Excel spreadsheet created manually to produce the Timesheet and KPI reports were provided to the vendor along with the dataset required to produce the report. Loginworks developers produced a prototype that we reviewed together and provided our feedback on. They then went on the develop the final solution based on the specs and feedback provided.

Loginworks provided a Project Manager and some developers to develop the reporting solution.

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

This reports has enabled us to automate generation of the report and add drill-through capabilities, which were not available with the manual version of the report.

Sole Trader working on various database projects for a variety of organisations.

For what projects/services did your company hire Loginworks Softwares Inc?

Hired Loginworks to assist with the creation of a Power BI report to display a variety of KPI Visualisations including a map, line graphs, donut charts and column graphs.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to turn around this report as soon as possible due to a reporting requirement by the company. The loginworks team lead by Niharika were very determined to exceed expectations and deliver quality report on time.

How did you select this vendor?

I posted a job item on a freelancer site where I had over 20 interested parties offer to work with me on the project. I choose LoginWorks primarily because they had a "team" of quality individuals and the man-power to complete the work in a timely fashion.

Ankit (sales) arranged a call with me shortly after acceptance and walked me through the process of working with Loginworks. LoginWorks created a good impression with me from my first interaction.

Describe the project in detail.

The project involved creating a power bi report with 14 visualisations with complex calculations involving a map, donut charts, column charts, and general number figures. The report was primarily related to financial information.

What was the team composition?

A team of developers worked on the report, lead by Niharika. Regular interactions involving messages through freelancer site, Skype Calls and Messages were done to ensure a successful project.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The ability to see the information contained within the report promptly without slowness, or un-necessary user interaction has been very impressive.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The interaction was seamless where I had Niharika to deal with through-out the project. This kept discussions on track, and to the point, and avoided me having to explain the same thing again and again to multiple people. Niharika and the team worked amazingly hard across a weekend also to ensure that the project remained on schedule. They were able to meet what was an incredibly tight deadline.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

It was my first time working with an external agency in a different country. I was initially concerned about how this might work out, and how communications would be given time-zone differences. This was proven to not be an issue at all with Niharika providing regular updates, and ensuring we were always a step ahead in the project.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The project went really well. The other minor improvement that could be made is perhaps suggesting if the data could be shown in a clearer way with different visualisations.

What challenge were you trying to address with Loginworks Softwares INC?

We don’t own any of the items that we offer; we just partner with third-party suppliers, some of which aren’t connected to the internet. We needed to develop a system that allowed them to withdraw our payments in cash.

We have a small team in Stockholm with several contractors and support staff located around the world.

What challenge were you trying to address with Loginworks Softwares INC?

We recently created a website that helps graphic designers find the right resources for their projects. For example, someone looking for vector art can search our repository for a relevant image.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Loginworks Softwares INC integrated our website with Stripe to handle users’ automatic payments and send out confirmation alerts. Following the bulk of the project, we asked their team to update a few small parts. We’ll reach out whenever we have an issue or want to add something related to Stripe technology.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them in September 2018. It was a two-week contract.

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

We haven’t launched the website to the public yet, so we haven’t tested their integration. With that said, it was a great experience. We have faith in their work, and we’re looking forward to seeing it in action. If there are any problems, Loginworks Softwares INC has made it clear that they’ll fix them immediately.

How did Loginworks Softwares INC perform from a project management standpoint?

They did a much better job than most of the other companies I’ve worked with. They were timely, professional, and driven. In terms of customer service, their entire team is nice, courteous, and receptive to feedback. Overall, it was a positive collaboration.

We regularly spoke with our primary point person via Skype, but we had a larger group chat on Upwork. Someone from their team was always available. For example, our primary contact was away for a few hours, but we needed a status update. We reached out, and they handled it. If there was ever a miscommunication, they fixed it promptly. If we requested a demo, they sent one over as soon as they could.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. If anything, they were too nice. It was a refreshing experience, and I hope to have more work for them in the future. It was a small project, but I’m confident in their abilities.

Any advice for potential customers?

Clients should nail down their specifications before the start of the engagement. Provide a lot of details, because what may seem obvious could potentially be overlooked. Make sure there is a mutual understanding regarding expectations for the final product and the deadline.
