Customers have provided constructive feedback on the beta, and Mutual Mobile is currently in talks to develop a 2.0 version. So far, they’ve stood out because of their responsiveness and management of a significant time difference. Communicating on multiple channels ensured an on-time delivery.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

BeatBiz is a workflow tool for music industry professionals. By aggregating the business and music applications they use to run their business, we are able to help them save time and run their business more efficiently. I'm the founder. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Mutual Mobile?

Mutual Mobile developed our beta product 1.0 for BeatBiz over the course of Q1 & Q2 2019. They built an electron web app that works on both PC and Mac OS.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to build a functional beta that could prove the concept of what we were trying to build with BeatBiz so that we could get it into the hands of some beta customers to give us feedback. We were happy with the results of BeatBiz version 1.0 and we are currently in discussions about version 2.0 now, before we go live with the product.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I met John briefly at an event in LA last fall, and the timing was good for both parties, so we met in Austin to discuss more details. After reviewing the project with his team, we set everything in motion for the Mutual Mobile India office to help build out the initial product. We compared their proposals and scope of work with 3–4 other firms and we felt that Mutual Mobile was the most professional, responsive, and best understood what we were trying to build.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Mutual Mobile took my InVision prototype and Sketch designs and developed, built, and deployed an electron web app for BeatBiz. We built a dashboard for artists through Chartmetric's API, and built an i-frame with the ability to easily navigate across multiple business and music applications. We also built the ability to easily switch from artist to artist to save the end-user time from logging in and out of their different platforms.

What was the team composition?

The project team consisted of 5–6 people in the Mutual Mobile India Office, plus me working on designs and making sure everything was built correctly. We had project managers as well as front- and backend developers helping with the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

We already have out beta product in the hands of some of the top artist management firms in Austin. We are still in private beta, so we are not marketing the product heavily right now, but we have had good feedback from our customers. We have also figured out what needs to be changed, updated, or enhanced for version 2.0, which we plan to build soon.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project management was very effective from Mutual Mobile. This was one of the best teams I have worked with in the software development community. I was very impressed with their responsiveness (especially with the 8–9 hour time change), as well as their ability to execute on the development side. We are excited to continue working with Mutual Mobile in the future.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their communication and delivery of products and sprints on time. By using Slack, Jira, and email, we were able to stay on top of everything that was going on and track progress by Mutual Mobile.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I don't have any areas for improvement at this point.

Users are passionate about the app and review it at a far higher rate than they do other apps in the industry. Mutual Mobile’s expert team provides consistent communication and excellent quality for the price. Customers can expect multiple channels of communication and a commitment to deadlines.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing partner of BassForecast, a mobile app for bass anglers focusing on environmental conditions such as weather and solunar (how the position of the sun and moon affect fish movement).

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mutual Mobile?

We needed someone to develop our mobile app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They executed everything from designing and laying out the app to engineering and coding. We gave them the idea, the desired output, and the market information, and they did the rest. After rolling out the iOS version and seeing it work great, we launched the Android version. They also helped with some marketing strategy and branding.

The app compiles all the factors that help anglers determine what day the fish will be biting. It uses a complex algorithm and calculates a 10-day range when the fish will be easiest to catch. This way, anglers have an easier time finding great experiences.

What is the team composition?

David (Director of Business Development, Mutual Mobile) was assigned to us, and we’ve had as many as 6–8 people working on the app at any given time. Other times, there’s only one or two people on the team. We like how flexible they are and trust them not to run up the bill on us.

How did you come to work with Mutual Mobile?

My business partner found them. Vetting app companies was challenging because we didn’t have much experience and didn’t know how to structure our RFP. Mutual Mobile did the best job of helping us understand the process and learn as we went. Additionally, Mutual Mobile built an app for NASCAR, so they had experience developing a sports app.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $100,000. It would have been a lot more, but we gave them an equity stake in our company worth $300,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since December 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our app is performing quite well compared to the market average for user adoption, user retention, and user feedback. Some of that is the concept laid out by us, and some of it is Mutual Mobile’s execution. We don’t know how to isolate Mutual Mobile’s value specifically, but we’ll never switch to another provider unless there’s a drastic change that affects their pricing or ability to meet our needs.

We have over 100,000 downloads and 2,000 reviews on the App and Play stores, which is an astronomical ratio. There’s another fishing industry app that has 7 million downloads and 3,000–4,000 reviews. We’ve never emailed customers asking for them to leave a review, so it’s purely organic—an underlying indicator of quality. Our customers love the app.

How did Mutual Mobile perform from a project management standpoint?

They always complete tasks on time and within budget, and we communicate over email and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was a little hesitant about working with their offshore division—I didn’t know their level of education or English skill—but, when they came to visit, it was clear they were high-quality. Mutual Mobile’s owner is a prominent business figure in his region and can choose the cream of the crop for his team. We’re getting American quality at one-third the price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

More transparency regarding the quoting process would be nice. When they give us a quote, we have to ask for a breakdown of how many people they’re going to assign, how many hours it’s going to take, and why. They always give us that, but we shouldn’t have to ask for it.

Feedback summary: 

The app has received glowing feedback and exceeded subscription expectations within two years of launching. The Mutual Mobile team provided unique expertise in their industry and made proactive development choices. Their creativity and support have made them a critical, long-term partner.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the digital communications administrator for Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County. We’re a government administration that ensures children are raised healthy, free from abuse and neglect, and have access to quality childcare and afterschool programs. We developed an app for our county's parents to access critical information about raising children in our community, as a part of our EveryParent Campaign. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mutual Mobile?

We needed development assistance for both the iOS and Android versions of the app. The platforms had to be accessible, have push notification capability, and be interactive, so we needed a team of experienced developers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We began with a two-day deep dive discussion about our goals and capabilities for the project. Their team gave us their ideas on how the app would function best, and we discussed the specific details of the outline. From there, we provided them with wireframes, and they produced mockups, designs, and graphics. They developed the apps using Swift programming language for the iOS version, and Java for the Android model. When it came time for needing analytics, they helped us measure those metrics.

Additionally, they provided support when we presented the product to our community and counsel, giving us key data when necessary. We launched the app, and, though the development is completed, their team provides maintenance support for issues.

What is the team composition?

Mutual Mobile provided a project manager, three developers with iOS and Android expertise, and an analytics expert. Though they likely had more staff dedicated to the project, these were the teammates we worked with directly.

How did you come to work with Mutual Mobile?

We sent out an RFP, and their knowledge in Swift programming impressed us the most. We wanted a team that knew about the direction of the industry, and their expertise made them the best choice.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $500,000–$600,000 up to this point.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in 2016, and they continue to maintain the platforms.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app has received stellar ratings, and we’ve achieved triple the number of subscribers that we expected within the first two years. The feedback has been phenomenal, and people are excited about the app’s capabilities.

How did Mutual Mobile perform from a project management standpoint?

We worked on the development in sprints, which made for effective communication. They would show us their deliverables for approval and continue with the next task, ensuring we were always informed on the project's status. The team responded swiftly and correctly to any of our questions within a 12– 24-hour timeframe.

What did you find most impressive about them?

From the beginning, their expertise and knowledge within the industry distinguished them from other companies. They really knew the technology and were ahead of the curve with changes coming to the programming languages. In addition, their proactivity, creativity, and communicative nature made the experience seamless. I think highly of their work, and I’m thrilled with the work they’ve done.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The key to a successful project is knowing your goal, but being open to their ideas. We had a better experience because we incorporated their feedback into our plan.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of TechDen, a parenting tool. It combines an app that helps parents manage screen time with hardware that charges and stores devices. It encourages family collaboration and cooperation while balancing relationships with screens.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Mutual Mobile?

We wanted to develop, test, and deliver the TechDen Jr. mobile app, a companion to our app for parents.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to produce an easy-to-use app for children to track their screen time and monitor their progress against goals set by their parents.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them through an industry recommendation. 

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected Mutual Mobile, we had discovery video conferences to discuss our goals and budget. Since the team quickly understood our objectives and timeline, we knew that we were in safe hands.

They cooperated with our in-house developer to expedite the project and hit an important deadline. They broke the project into distinct sections, including the design of seven features and screens. They built the app to work on both Android and iOS.

What was the team composition?

They assigned a project manager to support us and serve as our main point of contact. We also spoke to two frontend and two backend developers, who verified code and worked closely with our in-house developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our app hasn't launched. Although internal feedback and initial testing has performed well, we haven't received feedback from end users.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication was easy and effective, and our project manager was attentive. We used Slack to ensure smooth progress, deliver feedback, and include all parties in relevant communication.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their professionalism reassured us that they would meet our deadline. Time was of the essence, so they delivered the app on time and within budget.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Our project was straightforward, so Mutual Mobile handled it with relative ease.

Mutual Mobile’s drive to be part of long-standing solutions means that they work collaboratively from day one with a vision that goes beyond on-trend products. Their work has solidified a positive brand opinion.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the senior digital product manager for a manufacturer that primarily provides pool and household chemicals for various customers across the country. We partner and sell products to mass retailers and a professional dealer network.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mutual Mobile?

We needed help to develop both an app and a corresponding website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We developed a kiosk for a mass retailer that would allow us to test consumers’ water in-store. We asked Mutual Mobile to develop a hybrid, Cordova-based mobile version of that kiosk that would work for mobile web and app—over both Android and iOS platforms— and for a desktop site. That way, we could accomplish the same task for different brands within our portfolio.

We came to them with the idea and camera scanning technology that needed to be integrated into an app experience. From there, they had the responsibility of wireframes and further. The app enables the camera to scan a test strip, recognize the color, and provide a recommendation based on that color.

What is the team composition?

We have a project manager that is supported by one lead engineer, two or three other engineers, a few QA testers, a creative director, a designer, and a UX lead. The team totaled to close to ten members.

How did you come to work with Mutual Mobile?

My director found them a few years ago, and we were impressed with the owner’s involvement and his ideas for the project. We sent them the initial project on a bit of a short notice, were impressed with their work, and have been going back to them ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $1 million–$10 million.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in 2015, and they still develop products and apps for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We don’t sell directly to consumers, but their work has put us in pretty high regard with our customers—especially the mass retailers that we work with. They see us as leading in the technology space as far as innovations of new products or technology. Mutual Mobile has helped us establish a good foothold as a business or brand that’s serious about the next generation of applications. We’ve received good feedback from our partners in regards to our products.

How did Mutual Mobile perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate over Jira, Confluence, Slack, or email. They’re very invested in our immediate and future roadmap. The founder has been close to our business and goals since day one, and they hire competent, helpful people that are always available.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The Mutual Mobile team is competent without having to be overly process driven, which is different from other agencies I’ve worked with that set up unnecessary meetings just because it is part of a standard process. They are very flexible and engage with each other and with my team. Engineers, QA testers, and UX designers all collaborate with each other. Their internal processes work well without requiring external oversight from us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There aren’t any processes that come to mind. They’re currently revisiting some of the previous work and products they’ve produced for us to see if there are any areas for improvement or redesign. I appreciate them re-engaging and keeping our retrospectives fresh by approaching them from a completely different angle; it keeps things from becoming stale.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The Mutual Mobile team is interested in long-term projects, ones that extend beyond on-trend prototypes or ideas. They can provide new ideas and work with new technology, but ultimately they want to embed themselves into a long-term strategy and vision for their partners. I would suggest that potential partners come to them with solid, long-standing business goals.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of contractor solutions for Southwire. We are a leading global wire and cable company and we’ve recently expanded into the tools and equipment market.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mutual Mobile?

We had a customer-facing mobile iOS app that allowed our customers to order wire and choose the way it would be configured on the reel. Our clients voiced concerns that this service was only available through Apple products. With this feedback in mind, we decided to replace the mobile system with a web-based platform to give our users more options. We wanted a partner to develop the new app and make sure it was easily accessible for phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started with a three-day discovery phase. Over the course of many discussions, we built a storyboard that detailed what parts of the current app we wanted to be carried over and a series of new features we wanted to be included in the next iteration. After setting a timeline for completion, Mutual Mobile started development.

They decided to use a Google Firebase platform as the base, then used other development technology that prioritized speed and accessibility. The platform lets users input a wire order with different options for size and type. Then, they are prompted to use a configuration feature to structure the way the wire will appear on the delivered reel. After they fill in where and when they want the product delivered, we can pull that request into our internal system to generate a price, which is sent back to the customer.

What is the team composition?

I worked closely with a project manager, lead developer, and sales representative, but there was a total of 10–12 people on the team total.

How did you come to work with Mutual Mobile?

Several years ago, Mutual Mobile worked with another part of our business on an app development project and a coworker from that team recommended their services. I interviewed about eight different agencies, but their proposal stood out from the rest.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $750,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked on this app from September 2017–March 2018. We’re currently in negotiations to start the second version.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our original mobile iOS app had about 230 users. A month after the web apps’ launch, that number grew to over 400 and now we’ve reached over 1,300. So, the web app generated nearly a 700% increase in business.

How did Mutual Mobile perform from a project management standpoint?

Overall, we got along very well with their team. Our project manager switched near the end of the project, but the replacement was fantastic. The change allowed for a fresh take on the project and really pushed us through the final development stages. We met once a week with the whole team and scheduled three conference calls a week with the project manager and lead developer. Mutual mobile also actively updated our Jira queue to keep us in the loop in terms of what was completed and what to expect with the next sprint.

To help them better understand the project, four of their senior developers and designers visited our company headquarters and training facility. We gave them a tour and explained the details of our business. With that understanding of our internal operations, they developed a product that appropriately met our requirements. Their attention to detail made it an easy process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I really appreciated their dedication and their willingness to accommodate based on our needs. I’ve worked on a lot of different projects and Mutual Mobile provided the best communication methods and the highest level of availability that I’ve experienced. We never had to wait for an answer and always felt supported by their team.

Additionally, I was extremely impressed with how prepared they were. In our first meeting, it was clear that they had researched our company because they already presented ideas and solutions. Based on this experience, it was clear we made the right choice.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only obstacle we ran into was when their company moved building locations. The move was scheduled before we started working their them, so we can’t really fault them for that. It wasn’t a huge issue, but caused small disruptions in our workflow for a day or two. Now that they’re in a permanent residence, I doubt this kind of delay will happen in the future.

Any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend Mutual Mobile. Currently, we’re looking for ways to use their services in other parts of our business.
