Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
NaNLabs was responsible for building the entirety of our platform's technical functionality. This required two separate frontend applications, a backend engine (including a custom job matching algorithm based on generative AI) and an infrastructure layer consisting of multiple Lambda functions, a Postgres database and Cognito user pools. The first SOW revolved around creating the base frontend applications and the job matching engine.
This required a massive effort as our scope was constantly fluctuating based on external variables. Multiple API's were included in this project to enable employment verification and document signing. The second SOW evolved our platform with the addition of video interviews. NaNLabs implemented calendar scheduling, video conferencing capabilities and interview feedback forms.

Both the UI Designers and Software Developers were great at their roles. But at times, there seemed to be a slight disconnect between the their respective responsibilities. It wasn't always clear when a designed element would be included in the build, but this is understandably a tough part of building an application as complicated as ours.

We engaged the team from the inception stage & brought the first demp/ MVP customers on the platform on December 2021. Our first pilots and testing clients began shortly thereafter and the team was extremely responsive in adapting the customer feedback into the various releases of the platform. Our first enterprise clients entered the platform in December 2022, so the focus on security, multitenancy and regular updates and critical feature additions have tbeen essential and the team has worked as if part of the founding owners. As the platform and the team has evolved, we have been able to add project management, design and critical architecture trouble shooting expertise into the build as needed. As the economy has waivered,NaNLabs has stayed by our side and our clients' sides, helping us to provide the right level of service to meet the need.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Working with NaNLABS has been a great experience for Amalgam. In 2021, we found ourselves in need of a swift transition after our previous software agency's departure. NaNLABS stepped in, and within a month, we were well on our way to elevate and expand the capabilities of our product, "The Hub." (at the time we only had an MVP) and to envision the potential of targeting larger clients in the enterprise sector, which represented a significant business opportunity for us. NaNLABS played a pivotal role in this transformation by establishing an Agile Pod dedicated to the maintenance and development of our platform. Their involvement was instrumental in achieving several key deliverables, including:
Product robustness: NaNLABS worked closely with us to enhance the robustness of our product. Through their expertise, they ensured that "The Hub" could handle the increased demands and complexities of enterprise clients.
Infrastructure and deployment: NaNLABS collaborated with us to streamline our cloud infrastructure and deployment processes. This optimization was essential in ensuring the seamless performance and reliability of our product, particularly in enterprise environments.
Security enhancements: security assessments were conducted to fortify the product's defenses, a critical factor for gaining the trust of enterprise clients. NaNLABS played a pivotal role in strengthening our security measures.
Agile methodology implementation: they also introduced an Agile organizational structure, enabling us to work with greater speed and efficiency. This organizational shift facilitated faster development and delivery of features and improvements.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Swift transition: NaNLABS facilitated a seamless transition within just one month. They efficiently compiled crucial documentation and knowledge from the previous provider.
Product stability: the bug-fixing time was reduced by nearly 80% and monthly deployments were doubled, ensuring a more stable product.
Efficiency: we increased our development efficiency through the implementation of the Agile practices that encompassed sprints, retrospectives and Scrum dashboards, among others.
Front-end enhancement: NaNLABS successfully updated the front-end to match our new branding requirements, that not only improved the look&feel of our solution but also enhanced the user experience.
Process automation: they automated tasks like deployments and improved communication between their team and our team. This gave us time back to focus on the business aspect of Amalgam.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Initially, we had no good project management structure, limited Agile practices, and poor ability to estimate time requirements in advance. The change in approach and dedicated PM support NaNLABS provided us with ensured that we were able to transform our planning practice and better balance feature upgrades with customer requests and bug support.
What was your primary form of communication with NaNLABS?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
We were impressed with the quality of both their management and individual programming capabilities. Not only does NaNLABS have an extremely capable group of senior level managers who were easily able to understand our project needs and recommend architectural enhancements, the individual members of our team were exceptionally capable. This was a difficult thing for us to find in an industry where most assigned resources are either very junior, or lacking in relevant project experience.
Are there any areas for improvement or something NaNLABS could have done differently?
Most of the challenges we faced were due to the nature of our preexisting code, or the hasty departure of our previous development partner. NaNLABS did a great job of managing through that chaos and installing an effective team very quickly.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We endeavored on rewriting our entire editing platform from the ground up. This involved going from a brittle, older react app with little to no test coverage and antiquated component structure to a modern TypeScript React application but with extensibility, feature iteration, and test coverage in mind. The new application was built to be able to release individual products and product lines on to the new experience to test and iterate to ensure little to no negative impact.
As a result, we released functionality in incremental stages, first starting with our frames product offerings in September of 2021, a second milestone in January of 2022 releasing the prints offerings, October 2022 released a majority of the book offerings, and currently in process of releasing the remainder of our book offerings in August of 2023.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Releasing our product offerings in totality on the new platform, building a firm foundation to be able to test and iterate on, and ensuring that the customer order rate is at or above the previous version of the editing experience.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
For most of the project, we ran a traditional scrum process of two week sprints. The NaNLABS developers participated in all of the standard ceremonies and were responsible for delivering within the standard sprint. Additionally, we shifted to a milestone-based process where we targeted a single date for a large amount of functionality. I was incredibly impressed with their responsiveness and the efforts they put into hitting the tight deadline.

Are there any areas for improvement or something NaNLABS could have done differently?
We worked with an engineer who was not actually an internal employee of NaNLABS, but a subcontractor. That experience did not go well and was a little surprising, given the positive experience with a majority of the rest of the team.

transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a partner for a small product management and design consultancy.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with NaNLABS?
We’re managing a software product for a Fortune 500 company, and we needed a new development team. We hired NaNLABS to continue the development of the application while adding new features and functionality to the existing coding base.
We wanted to hire someone we knew we could depend on to make sure that the app stayed up, and someone who would be highly responsive if there were bugs or issues that needed to be handled.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
The app is an internal sales enablement application that relies on rich mapping functionality. The primary workflow is effectively adding data and managing all the data visualized on the app. NaNLABS and our company work together as the software team for this project, so they’re helping provide maintenance, but it is ongoing, and we’re still doing active development.
They took on the existing code base of the web application, and we’ve been developing from there. The key technologies being used on the project are React, Java, Neo4j, MongoDB, Google Cloud, and everything is being run in Docker. NaNLABS is also assisting us with our container setup and managing some of the DevOps for our builds and development.
What is the team composition?
We usually work with 2–3 front- and backend developers, a project manager, and occasionally bring in a UI designer when needed. We recently had to scale up the team rapidly and had some senior help to assist during that period.
How did you come to work with NaNLABS?
We found them on Clutch.
How much have you invested with them?
We started working together in May 2021, and it is ongoing.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve invested more than $500,000 with NaNLABS so far.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
When they initially inherited the project there were some real challenges with it because it has a huge code base, there are unique technologies, and the product was buggy. NaNLABS has been meticulously organizing a plan to handle those hurdles, and over the course of their engagement, they’ve been able to mitigate some of the key issues in addition to adding new features. They’ve also helped us reduce our deployment time, downtime, and our number of help desk tickets has gone down by 75%.
How did NaNLABS perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re super responsive, and we meet regularly. They’re very transparent about where they’re at and highly communicative. We use Slack and Google Meet for communication and ClickUp for project management.
What did you find most impressive about them?
NaNLABS is extremely committed to building and retaining talent. They use the opportunities available as teaching moments and bring in team members to shadow and learn. We like working with a partner that's so committed to their team and who puts so much into the education and training of their team members.
We have a steady team that we work with, which is great because we don’t always have to get people up to speed. They’re highly organized, especially in terms of approaching big development problems. They have a robust documentation system and always evaluate before diving in. They’re also highly flexible, open to feedback, proactive, and quick to solve any issues.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s nothing more that they could be doing for us.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Trust them and take advantage of their process because it’s successful.

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 engineering at an art gallery that buys and sells art pieces through various channels. Our company represents many living artists and some not-living artists and their foundations. We put on quite a few throughout the year and participate in major art fairs.
Additionally, we do a lot of work and outreach around art and artists, publish books, and work with museums, artists themselves, and artists’ liaisons to perpetuate good art. I work in the engineering department, and we have enhanced technology that we use for various purposes.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with NaNLABS?
We build technology in-house and also use external technology, so we require a development team to maintain it and build new features related to sales, keeping track of artwork, and other aspects of running an art gallery. We service, develop, and refine various applications, and we contacted NaNLABS to help augment our engineering team to build out new features.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
NaNLABS has helped us with back-of-house application work. We initially brought them in to work on the frontend of a web app. They helped with new features that we were building into our web application stack. Later, we brought them in for backend services to build features there as well. Although we’ve scaled down some aspects of the engagement, we continue to use NaNLABS for some of the backend work in our pipeline.
What is the team composition?
We started with two developers from NaNLABS and later scaled to three total developers, one backend and one frontend developer. Currently, we’re only working with the backend developer.
How did you come to work with NaNLABS?
Our former CTO had worked with other nearshore and offshore agencies in the past. Although I don’t recall how he came across NaNLABS, I know we explore all avenues when bringing in a partner. I was heavily involved in the sourcing and interviewing of their developers, and we felt like they were a good fit.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, we’ve spent less than $200,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in September 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
NaNLABS is a great partner. Their work has received positive feedback from stakeholders; everyone is quite pleased, including our in-house developers. The folks from NaNLABS are super invested, have keen attention to detail, and see things through with high fidelity. Moreover, the team has a desire to get involved in other aspects of the work — they’re very involved and keyed into the process. Overall, they’re responsible and responsive, and their work output is good.
How did NaNLABS perform from a project management standpoint?
Their resources are full-time members of our team, so we oversee the project management side of things. However, their internal project manager is good at keeping in sync and ensuring the team gets feedback. We have a monthly check-in to understand how everyone is doing and if we need to pivot or shift.
NaNLABS is very communicative and responsive. Overall, I’ve had a good experience with them, and the fact that they’re nearshore doesn’t impact our communication. We have a long feedback loop around their performance which is always nice to have with a vendor.
What did you find most impressive about them?
NaNLABS’ team quality is high, and their output is good. They’ve been quick to bring on multiple people who have very swiftly understood a fairly complex system. I’ve worked with providers where that was not the case, so NaNLABS’ ability to source talent distinguishes them from others.
Are there any areas they could improve?
NaNLABS has an interesting approach to how they model some of their developers, where some resources come as a unit, which is fair. However, this introduces cost and complexity because it’s a rigid system. Although I wouldn’t say they’re inflexible, this has definitely prevented us from continuing with a resource we may have wanted to keep working with.
On the other hand, this might be what makes their team work well across the company, so it’s a cost-benefit aspect I can’t really speak to. Still, it would be ideal for me to more easily scale a team up or down without dealing with ramifications across the rest of the development team.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
My advice is to be engaged with NaNLABS. If you know you can oversee their development team directly, they’re really great.
