MXICODERS : Blockchain Development Company

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Enkronos, a tech company based in Estonia that provides app-based services. We have a platform called Enkronos Apps through which we provide clients with different applications for creating digital contests, loyalty programs, IoT enabling services, and more.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with MXICODERS® Inc.?

I had developers in-house but I needed a team that could support us in some of our app development projects because we lacked certain skills that were vital to finish our projects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They participated in the development of our aQuest.io project, a decentralized app that rewards users for completing certain tasks. The team only completed the work we started. They also worked on developing our Ekronos platform. They used technologies such as LAMP Stack, Laravel framework, Vue.js, and AWS.

In general, MXICODERS® Inc. does different tasks for us, including systems administration for our AWS infrastructure and UI/UX design work. They’re starting to develop apps from scratch, too. While they seem to be doing a good job so far, they’ve only worked on apps that already had some development work done on them.

What is the team composition?

We’re working with six members of their team, including their CTO, backend developer, frontend developer, systems administrator, and designer. Additionally, they have an account manager who handles all business-related things.

How did you come to work with MXICODERS® Inc.?

I was casually looking for someone to partner with and received an email from MXICODERS® Inc. When the time came that we needed to hire an outsourced team, I looked for them. I chose them because they were the best fit for my needs compared to other providers.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $150,000–$200,000 on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership began in January 2019. At first, we worked with them on some pilot projects. Since we were happy with their work, we made it a long-term partnership in January 2020. Now, we constantly give them new projects to work on.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

If you visit our landing page, you can see several of the applications that they’ve worked on. Their involvement has really helped us kickstart our development efforts. More importantly, they’ve been able to get our platform up and running, which has allowed us to constantly evolve with new apps and features.

How did MXICODERS® Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?

I introduced them to Asana and we continue to use that to collaborate with each other. We’re in contact with 1–2 people from their team, and they use various project management tools efficiently. They’re responsive and they respect our established deadlines. We’ve only had a few minor delays, but they’ve addressed them quite well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re talented, and they offer us cost-effective services. On top of that, they’re willing to learn new technologies and can apply their knowledge quickly. Overall, I’m happy with MXICODERS® Inc.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Now that we’re doing entire apps from scratch, I’m looking forward to seeing if they’re on the same level as our internal staff.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be very clear about the requirements and features that you want to develop. How you start off a project is equally important. You also need to monitor their performance using a project management tool so you can keep track of all the aspects of their work.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of EBANQ and other related companies in the Fintech space.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire MXICODERS® Inc., and what were your goals?

Our goal was to build a crypto to fiat merchant payment portal without having to distract our own core development team.

SOLUTION

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

The vendor quickly proved very knowledgable in the blockchain space and came up with a detailed, realistic and credible proposal without any lofty promises.

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

Since this was a side project and we did not want to distract our own team with it, the project was basically a sketch on a napkin, an idea for a concept without tech specs or defined workflows. MXI Coders were great in helping to hammer out the entire workflows, design the UI and select suitable tech stack. Impressive from start to end.

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

We communicated mainly with the director and founder but also with pm and other team members, i.e. the devs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The gateway has been tested and works well. The team also provided detailed technical documentation to facilitate knowledge transfer when required. MXI also seem to be great with regards to support after delivery. They do not go silent after the project has officially ended.

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

Always quick responses mainly by email and Skype in this case.

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

I was impressed with their ability to quickly work out technical specs for something that only existed as an idea. You can really come to MXI with only an idea, a concept, and end up with a working product. I like that "from sketch on a napkin to live product" competence.

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

We are overall very happy. Nothing negative to remark on.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Evolver Group. We develop different apps and websites for our customers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Mxicoders?

In the beginning, we hired Mxicoders for web development and programming. Later on, we engaged with their team for app development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mxicoders developed many web projects for us internally and for other customers. All the sites they built were for PHP, and the apps were based for Android. Each site had complicated features and functionalities.

What is the team composition?

They had a project management team.

How did you come to work with Mxicoders?

I found Mxicoders a few years ago on Upwork. After getting in touch with them, a team member came to my office in New York. This gave me the confidence to continue dealing with them. They were here for a week where we went over all of the configurations and details.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement with Mxicoders began in December 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The first project we started with their team was completed. Now, we’re on the third or fourth project. They’re continually developing and delivering, so we’re continuing the relationship. We didn’t do a fully-detailed overview with them, but we’ve found all of their work to be a success.

Mxicoders is full of excellent programmers. I’ve dealt with different developers for outsourcing projects in the past. Their team does exactly what we ask, continually updating and adding features for us. They can handle challenging projects. If a client wants a simple website, they can engage with any team of programmers, but Mxicoders tackles complicated features and platforms with great technical expertise.

How did Mxicoders perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management style is great. They’re based in India, but every once in a while, they’ll visit New York. Most of our business is done through Skype and email.

They’re excellent communicators, understanding exactly what I need and delivering work on time. There are some development teams where I have to explain things multiple times before they somewhat understand it. With this company, I can say a feature once, and they’ll do exactly what I want the first time. That saves a lot of time because if I don’t need to go back and forth with each option and task.

Mxicoders has an excellent management team. Communication is always there. Whenever I have an issue or problem, they’ll fix it immediately. It doesn’t take them a week to figure it out. Their team will only take a day to find a solution. They don’t spend a lot of time investigating. If something goes wrong, they’ll figure out what’s happening and fix it within 24 hours.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Along with their communication, I’m continually impressed with their understanding of each project we do. That is a big benefit. I also appreciate their timely delivery. If a programmer can’t deliver, then I’m wasting my time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t know if there are any areas they could improve. For me, I’ve been happy with Mxicoders.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re looking for a vendor with low pricing, Mxicoders is in the mid to high-end. But their team delivers and communicates. If you do business with them, you’ll find success whether it’s an app or website.

BACKGROUND

I’m the CEO of FindHealthPro, a healthcare directory and telehealth platform.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their customer service was impeccable.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, I hope they continue growing and expanding their brand.

UPDATED REVIEW

This review was updated by the client on July 23, 2020. The original star ratings were: Overall - 5, Quality - 5, Schedule - 5, Cost - 5, NPS - 5. New content is below:

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Findhealthpro Ltd is a price comparison startup and marketing platform for private healthcare services in UK. I am the founder and CEO of this company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire MXICODERS® Inc.?

MXICODERS was hire to redesign, fix and recode elements of the website including the admin platform, homepage and other pages. They were also hired to introduce a price comparison functionality into the website and provide SEO for the price comparison pages. Lastly they were hire to automate the payment process for sponsored services on the website and to integrate some APIs.

What were your goals for this project?

The key goals of the projects were:

1. Improve the UI and UX of the overall website
2. Fix damage and faulty codes
3. Introduce a price comparison functionality to the website and build the business model around this functionality.
4. SEO the price comparison page to improve its crawlability.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I previously work with MXICODERs. They did a good job the last time so i rehired them.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

1. Fixing and coding of the healthcare providers, healthcare jobs and healthcare jobseekers pages.
2. Fixing and coding of the admin panel
3. Redsign of UI and UX for homepage page, login page and profile page.
4. Design and SEO of price comparison functionality.
5. Various fixes of code issue across the website including the provider dashboard, the jobseeker page, the post job page and other pages
6. Facebook and Linkedin API integration fix
7. Fix for messenging API and emailing
8. SSL configuration and change of domain name.

What was the team composition?

There was a designer and coder. That is all i know.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Unfortunately the project was not completed by MXICODER which will lead to a delay in my startup launch and possibly the collapse of the startup in a whole.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project management lacked any form of leadership from the top. The project manager had little involvement in the project and the web developer seemed to assume the responsibility of the project manager. This lead to the project being delivered at a very slow pace. Google docs was use has the primary means of managing the scope of work.

They were no timelines or durations attached to task and i received to programme from them either. Therefore there was litte or no compliance deadline, and when i set these deadlines verbally they never adherned to them.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

In all honesty for this project, the only thing i found impressive was the quality of design work done by the designer assigned to the project. It was top notch work. They also went out of their way on some occassion to fix bad codes done by the previous web developers.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Their communication skills are very poor and they need to improve in this area. The company's CEO told me that his company doesn't do SEO work so he was not going to complete the SEO task for the price comparison page. This was contradicted by the fact that the company's direct provided me a quote for SEO work on the whole website, yet the company's CEO claimed they don't do SEO work.

Their website also communicates that they do SEO work yet their CEO took money for work that included SEO and refused to complete this work. There were also numerous occasions where the web developer/make shift project manager promised to do specific task then his boss refused to do the same tasks.

Their project management skills are very poor and they need to put a system in place to set deadlines for tasks. More importantly they need to issue a programme of work with deadlines for each task.

Their coding skills are questionable, there seems to be alot of rework in their coding. I was always picking up bugs in their coding, which they did fix. They took two weeks to design and integrate a single page and they only integrated that page after i complained numerous times.

The speed of delivery is extremely slow and this can be linked to their lack of a programme for works delivery. They lack initiative and constantly expected the work scope to be specified for them. The specification was supposed to be their jobs, and this should be done they review my scope of work. They did not do this at any time so there was numerous arguments about what was in scope and out of scope.
