Please describe your company and your position there.

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?

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.
