Mits

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder and the CTO of TeaCode. We mostly provide development resources for other companies.

What challenge were you trying to address with Mits?

We needed to collaborate with a partner for design because we didn’t have any in-house design resources.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, Mits worked on a redesign of our portfolio on our website, which was built on React. They also produced mockups for us. Additionally, they’ve collaborated with us on several projects for some of our clients, including logo and product designs, landing pages, and wireframe designs. At first, they worked in Adobe and they now use Figma. 

What is the team composition?

We work with Tomasz (CEO & Co-Founder), Cezary (Product Designer), and Adam (CTO & Co-Founder).

How did you come to work with Mits?

One of our developers recommended, saying they were a company that does good work.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $20,000–$25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in September 2019, and our relationship is ongoing.

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

The feedback from our clients has been extremely positive; they love the modern designs provided by the Mits team, which is the most important success metric to us. We also saw an increase in impressions on our website after the portfolio redesign. We’re extremely happy with them.

How did Mits perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Trello to manage the work. They’re quick to complete the tasks we give them, and they always meet deadlines. We communicate via phone and Google Hangouts.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their quality, pricing, and ability to finish work within deadlines are what sets them apart from other designers I’ve worked with. Their designs are easy to implement, and they try to find the balance between great designs and implementation time. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There is no improvement needed from their team right now.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s easy to communicate with them; don’t be afraid to call them to discuss project details.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m co-founder of an automotive marketplace platform. We aggregate multiple vehicle products suppliers in one place and offer their products to customers. Our product started as B2B platform but now there is also B2C.

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

As a team of automotive experts, in 2017, we noticed that there is huge potential in online transport market. There was no applications that fit users needs therefore we decided to create platform that connects vehicle parts suppliers companies with buyer companies.

We didn’t have in-house developers and designers, so we decided to hire Mits software house. Our expectations was to create dedicated application that allows to manage companies and their products. We wanted also to create b2b communication platform.

Moreover we needed to create our custom subscription algorithm that let us to manage custom prices for each product separately. Finally, we wanted to have flexible application that is able to synchronize products and categories from thousands companies.

How did you select Mits and what were the deciding factors?

We were looking for software companies online and shortlisted some of them. During interviews, Mits experience and modules planning skills impressed us mostly. These factors, in combination with a competitive price and clear guarantee policy, gave us confidence that we can hire them.

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

We had a kick-off meeting that we presented our product vision and key features that we need in MVP product. Mits team shared some doubts with us so we decided to change some features. After that, design team provided mockups and designs later. Simultaneously, development team started their work on system architecture.

After few iterations some key functionalities was ready:

a possibility to create company in system (or synchronize its data from government API), Vehicle fleet company management Companies employees management Products and categories import Online chat between companies Auctions and inquiries module Few months later we decided to expand our services, so we implemented additional thresholds for prices, we added traders module etc.

Our platform grows from month to month, so we still require main functionalities.

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

In platform development process is constantly involved PM, 2 developers and designer. During our cooperation, when we increased requirements, Mits assigned more devs and designers.

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

After first year from launching platform, we noticed 50% income increased (01.2020 vs. 01.2021). In our products catalog there are more than 600k products (comparing to initial 100k). The amount of active users increased by 200%.

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

Whole management process is based on external tools (mostly Jira) and sprints. Their PM communicates with us few times in a week. Each new module includes workshops, then final features are estimated. Accepted features are moved to backlog and sorted by its priorities.

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

Mits team gives us important feedback when we have any new ideas. They inform us about any threats or potential problems. Thanks to a proactive approach, they provided us a professional system with very complex modules that are easy to use. Everything in reasonable time and acceptable budget.

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

We wish that they provide additional online marketing services - we would have everything in one place then.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am responsible for product development for OneMillion.

For what projects/services did your company hire Mits?

from the very beginning, we focused on developing our platforms and adding new functionalities. We gave up advertising the project for some time, so so far we have not had one complete page that would describe our activity in a marketing way. We needed a company that would prepare such a website for us.

What were your goals for this project?

this page would be of key importance to our project. It was supposed not only to fully describe what we do, but also to create a "wow" effect, attract attention and be interactive to some extent.

How did you select Mits?

We were looking for a suitable company via the Internet and on recommendation. We considered using the services of one of the five companies. Choosing the right company was not easy, as our expectations were really high.

We expected a large effect, impressive graphics, but also extensive animations. The website interactivity effect was very complicated and most companies did not want to take on it.

Describe the project in detail.

At the beginning of our cooperation, we had to establish all the needs and assumptions. We started with changing the brand. We created logos and graphic elements characteristic for us. During subsequent meetings, we worked together to determine what was to be on the website. We wanted the base to be a golden ring, inside which we wanted to place a digital city.

Each building, elements of infrastructure and nature were prepared especially for us. Each section on the page was supposed to correspond to a specific place in the ring.

Thanks to the suggestions from MITS, we jointly developed the image of the site that was to be created. In addition to the home page, together we developed subpages that were to contain a lot of information about the project, but also look interesting.

MITS provided us with a complete set of services. From designing the appearance of the website to programming implementation. The biggest challenge was to create a model that is interactive. Today, the user can move around our digital city on his own. Move to sections, Zoom in and out of buildings.

What was the team composition?

On our side, there was a 3-person team that supervised the progress of work and gave suggestions. There were 4-5 people on the MITS side who dealt with the design, building the model and programming the entire website.

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

After the premiere, the website gained great publicity and positive opinions. Every user who browses the website is impressed by its effectiveness. On the other hand, the information subpages are clear and legible. Thanks to this website, we can conduct large-scale marketing as we know that it attracts attention to the project.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our cooperation was very smooth. Contacting the members of the MITS team was easy and fun. We could always count on support and creative ideas.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Ambition and courage to take on big challenges

Are there any areas for improvement?

We are already working with MITS on developing the appearance of our ring on the website. New buildings and elements of the city's digital infrastructure will soon be added to make it even more diverse.

We needed a design that would accomodate a long list of features that solved various problems of our customers. We already had the solution, but the UI didn't communicate it well at that stage.

The Mits team have taken the lead on the project, which was a welcome surprise. Using Figma, we were able to work on the project together in real time.

Mits members were able to do a lot of work without any guidance from our team. They got the feel of what was needed right away.

Are there any areas for improvement?
