Movadex

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder of CoVoice LLC. CoVoice is a communications company with a mission to help individuals and businesses who can't communicate because of a language barrier be understood by connecting them to a qualified interpreter seamlessly.

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

We hired Movadex to create a mobile app for interpreters to be connected to people requesting assistance from one. We noticed that the competitors in the space focus on large businesses (ie, Hospitals and Law firms). Our goal was to have a user-friendly platform that was easy to use for the everyday person who needs help from an interpreter. Movadex went above and beyond in delivering.

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

We researched online and narrowed down our selection to a handful of developers. After a zoom call with Movadex, my co-founder and I unanimously decided to move forward with them based off of their professionalism, design capabilities, and initial ideas they had to improve on our project/app.

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

We had an initial discovery meeting to make sure our goals and objectives were clearly discussed and understood. We provided the team with logo assets and they provided us with mood boards where we were able to provide feedback easily and in real time via Figma. Movadex also provided wireframes via Figma. When we were satisfied with the design and user flow we progressed to test the experience on the phone. When satisfied with that stage of development we ran it through beta testing for both iphone and android.

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

We had constant communications with the founder and CEO Nor, who was always attentive and responsive with any questions or issues that needed attention and resolution. That being said, Movadex also provided a dedicated project manager, team of designers, and backend developer.

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

Thanks to Movadex, CoVoice has passed a rigorous app store process and is approved to download on apple products. We're also approved to be downloaded in the google play store for android phones.

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

Movadex was easy to communicate with. The communication and design tools used were Slack, Figma, and Google slides.

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

What I love about Movadex is that they don't just agree to every piece of feedback. They always challenge you if they feel that there's a better resolve. I also appreciate their personal attention.

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

I have nothing bad to say about Nor and the team at Movadex. They're great to work with, and I would recommend anyone looking to develop a SaaS product to them.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the chief growth officer of a hospitality company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Movadex?

We hired them to build our SaaS product for hotels.

What was the scope of their involvement?

After Movadex completed the wireframe stage, they proceeded to create our UI, building out the colors and functionalities of our platform. From there, we did multiple sprints, and once we got our first developed product, we iterated, tested, and made changes to the system.

Once we were satisfied with that, they helped us with data migration from our existing technology to the new SaaS product. We’ve already launched the product, but we’ll contact them on an as-needed basis.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with several people in the project, including Nor (CEO & Founder) who serves as our product lead. We also collaborate with two UI designers, a project manager, and a backend developer.

How did you come to work with Movadex?

A friend of mine recommended another company, but I wanted to have multiple options so I searched for potential vendors online. I found Movadex through Clutch. In total, I evaluated three potential vendors.

Movadex had really good communication with us right from the beginning, and they had solid presentations and decks with content that explained the whole process. On top of that, they explained how they’d deliver the work, what requirements they needed from us, and what the timeline would be like.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in July 2021.

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

Our product has been working smoothly thanks to Movadex. I don’t have any metrics to share, but we’ve definitely seen an increase in the number of users that want to use our product.

They’ve been extremely helpful throughout the process; they’ve advised us on best practices for some of the changes we wanted to implement. We definitely get great value from the money we spend on them. Overall, we’re really happy with the work they're doing.

How did Movadex perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Adobe, Figma, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Despite the pretty significant time difference between the US and Ukraine, their team stays communicative, and they adhere to our timelines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very organized, and their process is a little more visible than some of the vendors I’ve evaluated.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any negative feedback about them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Schedule consistent calls and meetings so that there can be a sync between the work they’re doing and in the communication and requirements from your business, especially if you're from the US.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the co-founder of the company. We're running a marketplace platform that connects green minded home owners with local ecofriendly vendors.

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

Movadex was hired to build the website from scratch. Our initial goal was to build the MVP, but when that was finished we continued with Movadex building the platform.

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

Solid referral, and good first impression

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

We initially agreed on 5 milestones and scope of work. The contract included to build 5 different service offerings for both vendors and customers. The MVP included:

• Shopify store
• Incorporate Stripe payment system
• Easy customer sign up and scheduling of the services with mostly instant quotes
• CO2 tracker
• Profile page for vendors and customers

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

A project manager was our main point of contact. I don't know how many people who worked on their end. I'm not exactly sure about their positions either but the project manager was the CEO of company

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

I don't have any exact data but the webpage has turned out to have a simple customer user interface that people enjoy booking services on.

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

We were in contact 3-4 days a week on Skype group chat. The project manager was always accessible. We are located in the USA while Movadex in Ukraine so obviously the mornings our time was the prime time to communicate with them. We did not have much contact after noon EST.

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

The project manager's accessibility and always following up in a timely manner when things didn't work. Movadex is quick to fix code issues when necessary.

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

We're overall very happy although we learned that sometimes they could have spent a bit more time on quality control checks. However, this was not a big thing as they always fixed any coding/design issues quickly at no extra costs.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of Artisfact, a startup that operates as a marketplace for fine arts. 

What challenge were you trying to address with Movadex?

It was challenging for us to find a software development team that was capable of building complex systems and customizing APIs. As a result, we collaborated with Movadex for a custom software development project.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Movadex built our platform. They started with a general structuring of our project, separating it into sprints to make it more manageable. They used React and Node.js in creating the custom software for us. 

At present, Movadex continues to provide support for us whenever we have questions. However, their big-picture work has been finished. 

In terms of app features, our platform is a marketplace that caters to two types of users. It’s similar to Etsy or other services that put two types of customers in a win-win transaction. Users can sign up and either offer items on sale or purchase fine arts items. We also offer all types of custom analytics and charts to make the overall experience seamless.

What is the team composition?

At first, we worked with their general director to structure the project. Then, I’ve worked with their dedicated project manager, two backend developers, two frontend developers, and a team of web designers. 

How did you come to work with Movadex?

I found Movadex on UpWork as we were searching for vendors for this specific project. Meanwhile, when I interviewed them, they seemed solid. As a result, they got the job. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested over $80,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Movadex started working on this project in January 2021, and the engagement is technically ongoing, although the bulk of their work has been completed. 

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

For success metrics, our external audits have come out well. Generally, it’s been a positive experience working with the Movadex team. They’ve met our expectations and delivered within our established deadlines.

How did Movadex perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management was highly streamlined. We use development sprints, and they stick with those processes. As a result, the project has been quite structured. For tools, we use Asana to manage the project. We also use Messenger, Telegram, and WhatsApp for day-to-day communication. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The Movadex is capable of performing any type of request. They always find solutions for our technology needs, and that’s pretty impressive. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about your expectations, and set tangible and measurable goals. Check what Movadex is doing as often as you can. That way, you and their team can correct mistakes on the go. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a digital IT firm — Casana.

What challenge were you trying to address with Movadex?

We contract other companies to support us. In this instance, we needed a vendor to help with web development and logo design.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially contracted Movadex to complete a small-scale project, which allowed us to assess the quality of their services. As that project was successful, we then contracted them for WordPress website and logo creation.

We gave them detailed requirements and materials such as pictures and guidelines for the branding. We also gave them examples of websites and logos, so they knew what we wanted. Their team created different pages, including a landing page, and implemented dynamic elements throughout the website. They branded the site and designed the UI/UX.

What is the team composition?

There was a project manager, two WordPress developers, and a UI/UX designer on their team.

How did you come to work with Movadex?

Movadex approached us and made a good first impression. I had a call with their COO that went well, and we decided to start our partnership with a short fixed-price project.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent less than $10,000 on the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2020, and their work is ongoing.

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

The project’s ongoing because we’re still providing Movadex with feedback. Their team’s iterating on the website’s look and feel. However, it’s been successful so far. We’re really happy and have no complaints.

How did Movadex perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Slack, and we’re happy with their project management. Their team’s responsive and patient with our stakeholders’ feedback.  However, Movadex’s work is usually well-received. Although the project’s ongoing, it’s not because Movadex works slowly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I liked being able to connect with their COO. Movadex is responsive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Our first project went well, and our current project’s going well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to know what you want. The clearer the requirements, the better they can execute.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a startup marketer and go-to-market strategist.

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

Develop a personal blog where I can publish my writing and showcase my recent projects, including my newsletter and podcast.

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

Of all the agencies that I reached out to, I found Movadex to be the most professional and ambitious of all when it came to this project specifically. They provided a clear plan of action to get the project done.

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

Design and development of a personal blog using Strapi, Gatsby and Netlify. Initially, the wireframes were developed and delivered in Figma. Upon receiving my feedback, they went through a number of iterations before moving forward to development.

The development took twice as long as the design. The website was shared and we went through a few rounds of feedback on the developed website to get to the ideal state.

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

I worked with four people directly (CEO, COO, junior designer, and junior developer). I believe there were quite a few other individuals contributing to the project in the background that I didn't work with directly.

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

The finished product was very close to the ideal picture I had in mind during the conceptual stage.

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

We used Notion and Slack to stay in touch and coordinate on different fronts. All the team members were super responsive and available throughout the project.

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

They were very open to feedback and provided as many iterations as required to reach the desired state.

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

Nothing specific comes to mind for this project.

For what projects/services did your company hire Movadex?

I hired Movadex team to create a cross-platform app for our client. The goal was to connect our hardware to an easy-to-use software tool that would offer great user experience. The team has implemented the project flawlessly and offered some great ideas on the way. We ended up with a wonderful product that made a memorable entrance to the market.

What were your goals for this project?

The goals were to create mobile apps for client registration. To link the client's face and the payment card.

How did you select Movadex?

I looked for a team that had their own vision, integrity, and phenomenal work ethic. And I found them! We interviewed many companies for this project, but Movadex team stood out from the very beginning. Even during the sales process, I never felt like I was a client, I felt as part of a team.

Describe the project in detail.

UX/UI design, iOS and android development

What was the team composition?

We worked with a team of 4-6 professionals throughout this project.

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

The team delivered the working prototype within a month of our collaboration. This was absolutely phenomenal as we did not expect to begin our roadshow that early. The team helped during the pitch events and investor meetings as well.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They follow SCRUM model, but in a very customized way. Their flexibility is indispensible. We communicated with PM and developers over chat and weekly calls. Updates were provided in Asana.

They really are a world-class team. Their professionalism was on point.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Can't think of any

I started working with Movadex team first on a small design work, but this grew into a strong partnership. Now, they are my digital arm. We work on websites, pitch decks, design projects, and many more. Their creativity is indispensable and quality top-notch

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

I looked for a well-established agency with the focus on communication and flawless delivery. Movadex was the best fit

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

Technologies include UX/UI design, react, python, flutter, etc. The skills I require vary from project to project.

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

I've worked with up to as many as 10 people from Movadex team at a given moment in time.

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

Deliverables exceeded all of my expectations, the websites are performing great, design is absolutely outstanding, and the sales funnel has grown by 75%.

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

There is always a PM. We use Telegram for chatting, and Notion for tracking progress, they use the tools that client prefers. Timeline was primarily in a form of 2-week-long sprints with outlined deliverables.

They are true professionals in their field and it's been an absolute pleasure working with them. The team has a great sense of humor, knows the industry from in and out, offers support 24/7. Really, thrilled to have them by my side.

None :)

Please describe your company and your position there.

Senior Project Manager for Souktel Digital Solutions, a Palestinian Human Centered Design Technology. I oversaw the creation of an enterprise digital product to streamline humanitarian and disaster response.

For what projects/services did your company hire Movadex?

Our team hired Movadex to take on the visual design and clickable wireframing of our flagship humanitarian response platform. This project involved translating sketches into VC-ready wireframes that could illustrate the value of our platforms prototype.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to get a prototype/ concept that was palatable to VC's and other investors. It needed to look cutting edge, but also have sound structure. We worked with Movadex to think through both the structure and design in a very short period of time, developing VC-ready wireframes.

How did you select Movadex?

We selected Movadex because we had a referral and a connection to their team. After hearing about their work, we vetted their past design experiences and websites which showed exemplary design skills for large-scale public platforms utilizing biometrics and other similar design flows. We then looked at their prices and compared them to other vendors. Movadex had tremendous value for their price.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected Movadex I handed over rudimentary drawn, or Adobe wireframes that were not dynamic to Movadex. We explained the idea at length and talked to them about structures and workflows. For each page our team developed much of the UX structure and the proposed data hierarchy while Movadex translated it quickly to an eye-grabbing demo for us to use in pitches.

We collaborated in real-time in Figma with incredible speed. The whole process was methodical and "agile" moving at a quick and transparent pace.

What was the team composition?

Nor, Vasyl, and Gregory who worked on the design were remarkably receptive and often answered our questions before we asked them. Salome, who worked on their BD team was thorough, fast, and highly professional.

They are young, very sharp, extremely responsive over any medium, adaptive to change, and intuitive. Each and every one of them offered feedback to our ideas in addition to building a product we wanted. This process was thus highly collaborative. They are very well suited for work with any startup or large task.

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

The project was a great success. In a short period of time their work got us from drawings to wireframes that were ready for pitch decks at a fair price. We presented the product to multiple angel investor networks, venture capitalists, etc. Many of them mentioned the sleek design.

Our original expectations were cautious but optimistic given the 1 month timeline we had before our first pitch, Movadex greatly exceeded our expectations. They provided a stellar product that realized our vision and goals.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was highly collaborative. We did quick calls every few days on Skype and added comments live in Figma as they developed. In Figma we could view progress as it happened and leave feedback which they would change often 10 seconds after a comment.

From a digital technology PM's perspective their communications, scheduling, and QA was above industry standard and took tremendous levels of stress off of me and the rest of our team at a crucial time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was most impressed by their incredible intuition and care in taking on somebody else's idea and making it a shared product. They added ideas as well as designs, with true critical thinking in a way that most UI design shops never would. I was also very impressed by their speed, professionalism, and dedication.

As a young crew, they proved themselves well beyond their years and are truly a team to watch out for. They were used to working across timezones which was very important for our team who was global.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I am a highly critical person and genuinely there were none. They took our project, which was well behind schedule, and put us ahead of schedule in the span of only a few weeks.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO of a modern influencer marketing agency.

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

Our current website was outdated and with the launch of our new CI we wanted to renew our website and make it very modern.

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

We searched on multiple platforms for web development companies and had some initial calls with Movadex, who convinced us that they can achieve our goals in the way we want.

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

We had a kick-off meeting to plan the whole project. Our in-house designer made a screen design of the new page and Movadex started to translate the design to HTML and CSS. After that we had another meeting where we discussed which CMS is suitable for us and decided to choose WordPress.

In the last step Movadex brought the design in a custom made theme to Wordpress, setup a test environment and after we included all content, they put it to our production Webserver.

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

We had a project manager and a team for design and coding which had like 3-5 employees. Even the CEO had an eye on our project and helped us out several times.

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

We had a lot of positive feedback for our website. And we are really happy ourself with it.

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

We chose Telegram group chat as live-communication tool. Important things were done via mail. But the Telegram group became very handy as we always knew what was worked on and our question are answered within a short time, even after we've finished this project.

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

We are most impressed by the communication we had with Movadex. When problems occurred, there was always a helping hand and they did everything to achieve the best possible website for our case. Furthermore their work is really modern and great.

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

No due to the daily communication we had no issues.
