BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.              

I’m the owner of an IT services company called TechTime.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with MAKSOF?

One of our clients is looking to develop a system that requires cloud services, but they don’t want to use the cloud because of security issues. We needed to build everything in-house and were looking to use Angular and Node.js to build the system.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

MAKSOM provides us with custom software development services. In the beginning, we provided them with all of the requirements of the project. From there, they proceeded with the work, handling the development, design, and implementation process. Their team continues to work on the project and accommodate any change requests along the way.

What was the team composition? 

I work with six people from their company: a project manager, a designer, two backend developers, and two frontend developers. The project manager is our main point of contact.

How did you come to work with MAKSOF?

We found them through an online search.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with MAKSOF in June 2022, and our collaboration is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our client is very happy with the results so far. We’re also very satisfied with MAKSOF’s work, so we’ve decided to continue working with them.

How did MAKSOF Perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything is being delivered on time and within budget. Their team makes very good estimations, and their developer has been able to handle each task. For communication, we use Skype and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with their flexibility. These kinds of projects often involve changes along the way, and their team has done a good job of responding to that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they should improve on — they’re doing a perfect job so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend working with MAKSOF.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of an e-commerce company that combined custom software with physical print-on-demand products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired MAKSOF in order to complete our development work. We'd previously worked with another developer but this did not work out and we decided to hire MAKSOF instead which was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

SOLUTION

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

We selected them by interviewing a number of vendors which included a technical assessment and then a trial period to see what the quality of their work was like. Following the initial trial period we loved the work and decided to continue working together on an ongoing basis.

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

The development of a full-stack Node/React application. This included API integrations, complex SVG rendering on the front-end, UI/UX design, tricky back-end data processing tasks and much more. They have always delivered on time and on budget.

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

We have worked with both Ashar and Imran from MAKSOF primarily.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are amazed with the quality and speed of their work it is second to none. I will never use another developer or development team for my project. Our project is now in production and we have a business because they were able to deliver on our objectives. I would highly recommend then to anybody looking for a development team in any stage of a development project. 10/10!!!

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

Structured project management style with Agila approach utilising tools such as Trello to document tasks, assign owners and approximate timelines etc. The pace of the development work and turnaround is extremely quick. This is great if you're on a budget because it saves you time.

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

They are incredibly trustworthy and honest. This is the most impressive thing about MAKSOF they are genuinely nice people. In addition, they had amazing technical skills and helped us transform a project idea into reality.

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

There are no areas for improvement from my side in relation to this project we are extremely happy with the result and will continue working with MAKSOF for any future development tasks.
