Mooncascade was responsible for swiftly creating the MVP of an IoT data dashboard for a telecommunications company. They also ventured to train the clients on further scaling the platform in the future.
Mooncascade succeeded in delivering both the front and backend of the early product. They also effectively trained the client's team in the React & Redux stack while introducing agile development practices to be utilized going forward. They were reliable partners who assisted in business growth.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
We are a local fixed telco operator in Europe, with ~1200 employees. At the time of the project, I was the IOT business manager.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Mooncascade?
Creating an MVP version of customer IoT data dashboard on top of our LPWAN network services.
What were your goals for this project?
We had 2 goals:
to have the first version of the IOT dashboard and software architecture up fast to validate the business assumptions;
to train our freshly hired software development team to be able to continue the platform development going forward.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
Previously Mooncascade helped us to shape and implement our Data science strategy from the ground up, helped to hire our team's very first data scientist and choose the first pilot projects. Their ability to train our internal resources on the go was instrumental for this case.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
Mooncascade helped us to build the first version of our IoT Dashboard communicating through APIs with IoT hardware & sensors. The work included the design and development of the front-end and back-end architecture. The main point of the cooperation was to work in a joint team format.
Our developers were working in Mooncascade offices at times, they helped train our team in React & Redux stack, and introduced an agile approach for product development (Scrum sprint planning, standups). They also helped us to start using GitHub flow for peer-reviews and introduced continuous integration (CI).
What was the team composition?
2 developers from our team and then 4 engineers from Mooncascade team: 2 frontend developers, 1 back-end developer, and 1 quality assurance engineer.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
This was sort of kick-off for our Product development practices and team - later we scaled this experience into a number of products and teams.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
There was a PM from our side who was in direct contact with Mooncascade’s CTO who acted as a PM for our project on Mooncascade’s side.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They think alongside you and keep their promises and our internal development team grew significantly over a short time span through the peer programming approach.
Are there any areas for improvement?
They are quite expensive, thus as their role in the project was focused to get the MVP out quickly and internal team ready to take over.

Mooncascade developed the platform needed by the company in its operations which include biometric functionality.
The platform attracted interests that it got featured on a technology segment in a television broadcast shortly after launch. Mooncascade successfully integrated the biometric function as a security measure. They have been generous in giving out suggestions and have been proactive during the project phase.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your organization.
My company is Biometrics.com. We do biometric authentication through mobile devices by using many different biometric procedures simultaneously including voice, facial recognition, and fingerprint.
What is your position?
I'm the founder.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What business challenge were you trying to address with Mooncascade?
We needed a development partner that could help us to create the platform that also had the expertise to include the intricate details to include biometric verifications.
SOLUTION
Please describe the scope of their involvement in detail.
Mooncascade managed the complete project, and it ran spotless.
How did you come to work with Mooncascade?
A good friend of mine who is a professor in information technology, connected me with the company Mooncascade. He knew them, and they had a good relationship. He advised me to speak with Mooncascade and right from the first meeting I gained confidence with their team and carried on with the project with them.
Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?
Our work with Mooncascade has been more than $200,000.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?
We were able to grab some initial interest around the concept. We were featured on a technology segment in a television broadcast shortly after launch. The sad part is that the biometric market isn't quite mature yet and has not truly taking off in certain fields. My process was meant to be for high-security needs like corporate authentication, the market is still OK with using passwords.
What distinguishes Mooncascade from other providers?
The Mooncascade team is made up of a bunch of talented individuals who are easy to work with. I was impressed that they know their stuff. When I was in discussion with them, they frequently came up with suggestions that improved my thoughts. That was an extremely positive aspect of working with them.
