Our partner advised us this vendor as reliable vendor with good reputation.

Describe the project in detail.

During the first contact with MAvinx we explained generally idea of project and our requirements. As we didn’t have any strict documents with list or requirements, so Sales paerson advised us to start from checking and analyzing details. It took around two weeks and as a result we finished it and got exact commercial offer. We agreed it and started cooperation fully: UI/U design, Front-end / back-end development, native apps development.

What was the team composition?

I don’t know the exact team composition of vendor cause we contacted directly only with Business analyst and sales manager. I understand that they have developers but I don’t know number of them. Generally it doesn’t matter for our team. The main thing was to get the result.

We launched an audiobook store and ios / android apps. Contracts were signed with publishers and a content base - more than 2,000 positions were collected. We reached more than 50 000 users.

I am the founder of project Storage Helper. This is my additional business activity.

For what projects/services did your company hire Mavinx?

More than 2 years ago I got an idea to create a tool for enterprise internal usage which can help the management of company and workers to check and control the Goods quantity and location. I hired Mavinx to bring this project to life. They had to develop mobile applications including design and backend.

What were your goals for this project?

I had an idea to create the system for scanning QR codes on packaging with products and provides complete information about the balances of these products in stock with wide range of tools. This is a great tool for managing stocks of the enterprise. As a result I wanted to sell this product.

How did you select this vendor?

I met them at the conference, held several conversations and collected information about the company in web. I got good first impression and started the first steps of cooperation.

Describe the project in detail.

We started with a detailed study of the technical task for the project. I had an understanding of what I wanted to get, but the contractor’s analyst drowned all the details and helped to improve the idea of the project. After all the approvals were done, the contractor divided all the development into small parts (sprints) and we started with the design. The designer suggested 4 or 5 design options. Then we moved on to developing the backend and further on the mobile applications themselves. The work was constantly accompanied by calls, coordination of details and displays of work performed. So we moved throughout the project until its completion.

What was the team composition?

I talked mainly with the project manager, analyst and sales manager. But I know that the team had a designer, several mobile and backend developers. Also, someone of the staff was engaged in testing.

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

The project is large enough and took a long time. It was completely finished in a year. After that, I started offering it to potential customers. After showing the demo versions, many customers were interested in the product and we tested its effectiveness. As analysis showed - еру product significantly increases the effectiveness of the management of inventory balances within the enterprise.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I would like to note the brilliant work of the whole team. The entire development period was divided into reasonable parts - there was no rush (delays) and we did not lose time in vain. The company staff is very competent and experienced.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

High degree of involvement of the whole team in the project. Stability and meeting deadlines and budgets.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I was completely satisfied.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a Co-Owner of Keto Kitchen project. We're a team of Keto experts and our goal is to provide our users with tasty alternatives to diversify daily low carb menu and help following healthy lifestyle for a long time.

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

Well, I contacted MAVINX with the request to design and build the iOS mobile app for Keto Kitchen from scratch. So I needed the design and branding as well. We came to them with just an idea and vision.

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

First of all, the relevant experience was important for me. When I contacted Victoria, she has shared the relevant project that MAVINX had developed before. That app includes recipes blocks, the app is live in the App Store so that was one of the deciding factors for me.

Secondly, they offered a good approach starting with a small part and getting first results very soon. I decided to start with the branding as this was really important for me to get the branding assets for the social networks before we move to the app development. I liked the results a lot.

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

First step was the Branding package. I've got the logo and styleguide, icons for the social networks and some templates for instagram. Then we moved to the mobile app business analysis, wireframing and design.

Currently the iOS app and admin panel are under development and it's supposed to be completed and released in April. While the development stage, we decided to build the landing page with the description of the app that is coming soon.

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

I think I worked with the full team, however, the most communication took the project manager (Ann) and the director (Victoria). I also worked with the designers. I know iOS developer, backend developer and QA were assigned to my project and they were introduced to me in Slack as well.

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

Of course, the landing page is live https://ketokitchenapp.com/ And the app designs are here https://www.figma.com/file/oOMDQ3N590CmS90o7GvfQe/KetoKitchen?node-id=42%3A958

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

The communication is just perfect, I believe this is a strong side of MAVINX project management approach. I received daily updates in Slack. Ann jumped on a call with me when I had some questions as I'm not a technical person and I needed some clarifications from time to time. We also had the demo calls when the progress of the development was presented to me via screen sharing and in my Testflight on iPhone.

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

I like their creativity in design. I am also happy about their responsiveness in answering my inquiries. They even provide info about the ones that were out of their responsibility (for e.g. - conversations with Apple Support about my account, their advices about promotion options in instagram, places to take good images and many others). To summarise, I liked they CARE about my product and that feeling was really important for me.

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

Don't have anything in mind.
