nexocode

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a project owner at Predica, a Polish company that specializes in Microsoft technologies. We help organizations be more efficient and future-proof by working with cutting-edge technologies, which can sometimes be early betas or alpha releases. We are a Microsoft gold partner on 14 different areas.

What challenge were you trying to address with nexocode?

We were looking for specialists with .NET and Microsoft technology skills that could help us build a solution for our customers. We were creating a bigger solution overall and this was a separate chunk of it—somewhat independent. It’s a sort of black box that receives information and outputs data. We decided that we wanted to work with nexocode because this was a challenging task and we needed skilled people to complete it.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We work in a DevOps model and mostly do Scrum projects. They were in contact with the customer to gather the requirements for the module they’re building and incorporated them into the backlog tool, which is Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). They’ve managed the work by themselves and after some tests, they showed us the progress and we presented it to the end customer. The solution they delivered was ready for production and deployment.

The project involved consulting, gathering requirements, development, testing, and deployment. They also provide ongoing support, as we’re still stabilizing the project with the customer and there’s still a lot of work to be done.

What is the team composition?

We’re working with three senior developers from their team at the moment.

How did you come to work with nexocode?

We found them by accident while looking online for companies that had similar specialties to ours. We reached out to nexocode and they told us what they did and how many people they had on board. We requested résumés from their senior staff to see what projects they were working on and how good they were. Finally, we decided we could trust them with this task, and that’s how it started.

How much have you invested with them?

I think the total cost has been around $100,000. Though we have an international collaboration, everything is done in English and invoices are in U.S. dollars.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with nexocode in August 2018. They’re currently helping us maintain the solution. The customer is also requesting some changes, which nexocode is implementing. We think we will be collaborating on this project until the end of the year and I hope we will be able to work with them again.

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

I don’t think they’ve had any direct impact on our company, other than the good reputation we’ve been able to maintain. They keep up with our way of working, they’re trustworthy, and they deliver on their promises.

In terms of the project, there’s a lot of value in the work they did; it was high quality, stable, an on time. There were no misunderstandings and the customer was happy. From whichever angle I look at it, the project is a success.

How did nexocode perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed really well. We communicate through phone, email, and Microsoft Teams. VSTS is the Azure DevOps tool we use for project management. It’s useful for hosting assignments, comments, descriptions, requirements, test cases, etc. Whenever there’s work to be done, we’ll have a conversation about the particular item in the project management tool. All the communication is recorded and everyone can track what was said in order to align with how everything needs to be done.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s not easy to answer this question because we tend to choose our partners well and we don’t collaborate with companies that don’t feel trustworthy. However, the best thing about nexocode is their responsiveness.

On one occasion, a customer needed an urgent modification by the next morning when it was already the afternoon. Although they’re situated in a different city, I reached out to nexocode, and they organized themselves. They were in our office by the next morning, which was really nice.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only thing I could mention is that they’re a really young team, which was a surprise for us and the customer. If they had beards and gray hair, they would’ve looked more trustworthy, but they looked like students to the customer, which was odd. Still, it wasn’t a student approach; they were professional and they have a lot of experience.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Trust them; they have skills and a good attitude, as well as a lot of interesting ideas. If a potential customer has a problem, they should give it to nexocode and they will find the perfect solution.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CTO and head of business development at Tripnet. Our company provides and enhances sales of hotel services for business clients and travel agents. Our platform handles over 10,000 bookings each month.

For what projects/services did your company hire nexocode?

We wanted to create a tool that would utilize Tripnet’s API and integrate several other services. We hired nexocode to create a standalone booking platform that will gather online bookings in one place. We needed a full team that was able to design, develop, and deploy the software from scratch.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to provide a complete B2B travel platform that would appeal to our clients. We wanted to increase our online sales by giving companies and their employees the ability to easily book and manage all business travel.

How did you select this vendor?

We were looking for a company that had proven industry knowledge. We interviewed several other firms, but nexocode had an extensive portfolio of completed works in the travel technology industry.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

As we were planning to build new software, we needed the whole range of IT services—including project management, user experience research, user interface design, and frontend and backend development. nexocode is responsible for the designs, code development, database architecture, deployment, and infrastructure management. As the product built by nexocode offers several travel options, the team integrated Tripnet’s own hotel solution as well as other providers. The system has expanded from being only a booking software to one that enables business clients to manage bookings and travel expenses. nexocode was very careful and user-centric when designing the system. 

What was the team composition?

nexocode provided us with a team of about five people, which included frontend and backend developers and a UX designer. Quality assurance tasks were spread among the entire team. Several other developers were acquainted with our business and the code base thanks to their peer code review system.

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

This solution is still in development, yet the first feedback gathered from executive leadership and stakeholders is more than promising. After the first months of our collaboration, we’ve extended the scope of the work, and now it also covers parts of a new module devoted to business travel management. The application developed by nexocode has been already presented to prospective business clients who will use the platform and were impressed by the system.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They are head and shoulders above other companies we know. The team was responsive and flexible by working with an Agile approach. We have regular planning sessions where we co-create as a team along with non-dev specialists from the travel industry. nexocode’s developers and designers were communicative and accessible to all relevant members of our team. They organized workshops like User Story Mapping that helped us plan the features and envision what we are building. Not only do we meet regularly, but we also use Slack, Jira, and Trello to communicate and manage our backlog.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They have a transparent workflow and a skilled team that was able to capably deliver what was promised. nexocode is able to help you identify real issues, prioritize them, and find the best solution.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

There is nothing serious I could complain about. The only thing of note is that nexocode is still a rather small company, and they sometimes may not be too flexible with additional team resources. They are expanding, though, and this might not be the case in the near future.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work as a program manager for an external-facing development team at a technology company. 

What challenge were you trying to address with nexocode?

nexocode set up a software system for us to track the activity of our external developer community. They also provided us with a directory of all of our program participants.

What was the scope of their involvement?

nexocode handles everything we need in building the software system, which is a website portal that our external developer community can access. It serves as a directory of all the people participating in our program — we have close to a thousand participants. They all have profiles where they can present their skills, write short bios, and put links to their social media accounts. This way, the platform not only serves as a repository but also allows developers to connect with each other. 

The portal’s second most important feature is tracking the activities that our external developers are doing. They log their activities so that they’re visible to us and we can see when they’re active. Overall, we’ve worked closely with nexocode to ensure the program does exactly what we want. We’re still working on it and collaborating with nexocode for various other projects.

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with two project managers from nexocode. They interface with the engineering team on my behalf and convey all the things we want to have as part of the platform.  

How did you come to work with nexocode?

I only inherited the engagement with nexocode; it had been going on for almost a year when I joined the team. 

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in June 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. 

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

We don’t have quantitative metrics yet. Generally, though, nexocode can put anything we want on the platform through custom solutions. The team also accurately reports what’s happening in our program and works closely with our team to achieve results. Moreover, they’ve been great at helping me understand the entire process, especially when we have a feature request or website updates. 

How did nexocode perform from a project management standpoint?

We’ve had great communication, and they’re flexible. On the flip side, our teams are in different time zones so we have limited time to meet, though this isn’t necessarily their fault. We also don’t get updated on some things as quickly as I’d like. Simply put, their project management is strong, but there's room for improvement. To communicate, we use video conferences, emails, and Google Spreadsheets. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

It's easy to get a hold of the nexocode team, and they’re open and flexible to the things we want to accomplish. Their resources are also good at explaining things in a simple way without too much technical jargon, helping me understand what needs to happen for us to achieve something. Moreover, they’ve proactively proposed alternative solutions that can help us save money and time. Overall, we’ve had a good experience with them in terms of our interactions. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’re looking forward to streamlining our processes since the nexocode team has been working with us in an ad hoc manner. To be fair, our team also needs to be more organized internally. This isn’t necessarily an area of improvement on their side; we’re both working on figuring out how to do it on both sides. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about your goals and what you’re ultimately trying to accomplish. That way, nexocode can bring their expertise to the table and let you know what they can do. Moreover, give them as much context as possible so the team can understand your motivations. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a travel technology company.

What challenge were you trying to address with NexoCode?

Our existing software wasn’t compatible with our inventory suppliers.  We needed a development team to build a viable alternative.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’re building a unified payment interface that connects our custom software to our channel managers’ solutions. These partners are mostly hotels and resorts. They built the solution from scratch, using our existing code as a reference point for the standard architecture to mimic.

What is the team composition?

We hired a team of three full-time developers who work with our technical director. I mainly interact with NexoCode’s owner and CEO.

How did you come to work with NexoCode?

A former employee recommended using NexoCode. Their past clients were similar to our company.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $90,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2018, and our partnership is ongoing.

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

We are currently in the final stages of development. They’ve written high-quality code so far. All the work they’ve done has met our high standards. We especially appreciate the team’s responsiveness. Our partnership’s longevity is based on the quality of NexoCode’s programming expertise.

How did NexoCode perform from a project management standpoint?

We hold conference calls each morning to review the previous day’s work and plan next steps. The team always works efficiently. The timezone difference can be challenging, however. We can’t offer feedback during the bulk of their working hours.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Building good quality code sounds like a simple thing to accomplish, but it’s very challenging. You can’t ask for more than technical proficiency. Teams who excel at both coding and communication are hard to find.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There seems to be a discrepancy between employees’ titles and actual qualifications. Some senior developers exhibited a level of experience somewhere between a senior and skilled intermediate level. If they’d been open to working later hours, we could have established more overlap in our respective workdays.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Future clients should conduct frequent code reviews. Although they program strong code, they may face challenges adapting to unique, client-specific coding and architecture.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a senior program manager at an internet company. I work on our developer ecosystem.

What challenge were you trying to address with nexocode?

We needed to build a tool to help onboard new chapters in our global community program. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

nexocode built an end-to-end platform to verify and onboard new chapters in our community program. It’s both externally facing to capture information through an external form and internally facing to guide my team through the steps to interview and onboard a new chapter. 

We developed this tool in partnership with nexocode. It allows for custom views of the information taken in from the external application form. The customized steps match our internal process and our team’s workflow. Finally, there are customized reporting and statistics tools based on the information coming through the platform.

What is the team composition?

We work with five people: two frontend developers, two backend developers, and a lead engineer.

How did you come to work with nexocode?

They built a similar tool for a sister program, which some folks on my team had worked on and were familiar with. The tool works really well and saw positive feedback internally and externally for its user-friendliness. When I spoke to the program owner, he indicated that the development process was really smooth as well. That’s how we ended up choosing nexocode to build this platform.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in January 2019. The initial launch was within a quarter, but each quarter in 2019 saw a new release with new features. We’re still adding minor features at this point.

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

Our internal teams were pleased about the tool. It was nice to come from a shoe-horned solution to a custom-built one. The UI is really clean as well. We made a few tweaks to the visualizations and groupings, but overall, we have no concerns. but 

How did nexocode perform from a project management standpoint?

We set up an agile methodology and had a weekly sync where we continuously reviewed the latest sprint and prioritized upcoming feature requests. As things got built, we interfaced with the tools and moved certain features up or down on the priority list or removed them entirely. 

The entire process has been really smooth. nexocode communicates well and delivers a lot of excellent weekly updates, mockups, and walkthroughs that make the workflow seamless. They’re always very transparent and clear about what will go into the next sprint. Anytime we have to adjust what was going into the next sprint, nexocode will deliver.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was really pleased with the ease of working with nexocode. Working with their lead developer was especially smooth. What’s really helped is that they already have a good understanding of the nature of our program because they had worked on a tool for our sister program. This baseline knowledge made our weekly meetings go smoothly. Lastly, their costs were great along with their ability to adapt to their clients’ needs and allocate developers to meet our timelines.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think so. 

Any advice for potential customers?

As with any vendor, have a well-scoped-out project. Also, make sure your side is available to give feedback, participate in meetings, and overall be very communicative. nexocode has some solid knowledge and communication already, but agile methodology works best when both parties are highly involved. Our participation in our weekly check-ins kept the project on track.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of a professional rental accommodations provider. We are a global business supplying large credit card companies and working with large travel companies.

What challenges were you trying to address with nexocode?

We supply accommodation and bring it through API feed integrations with other systems. We also have a complex website which allows travel managers and clients to report, place and cancel bookings, manage payments, perform currency exchanges, and more. We built this business with the help of nexocode and don’t plan to stop working with them.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nexocode is almost an in-house IT company for us. They don’t treat us like a client, but rather like a partner. We treat them the same way.

They built our website and manage our Azure cloud infrastructure and static servers. They have handled design through to delivery for any part of our product. We use Java and .NET. We act as the product owner. nexocode brings their own ideas about how something should work, and we discuss it; the operational side is a mixture of their input and ours.

What is the team composition?

We have a project manager, a business analyst, 2 main developers, and other resources on nexocode’s side.

How did you come to work with nexocode?

We never wanted to have in-house tech resources. We started working with another company initially, but we weren’t pleased with them at all. Radosław Kamiński [nexocode founder] left that company 18 months ago and continued to work for us on his own. As we grew, we sanctioned him to take on more tasks. nexocode was built through our relationship.

We were thinking of starting our own development company in Prague and looked at other companies as well. We worked with a large multinational, but Radosław offered us the services we needed and didn’t treat the work like a job, but rather like his own project. This is something which isn’t always found. When things go wrong (which they do sometimes), Radosław will be as stressed as I am about it.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we invested $1 million–$1.5 million.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with nexocode when the company was initially founded in February or March 2015. Radosław was involved in the project for approximately a year before this as an employee of our previous partner. The collaboration is ongoing.

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

We won the Best Travel App of 2015 award from Sabre, the largest global distribution service in the world. This week, we won Best Trade Supplier from Travel Weekly’s sister publication, Travolution. We’re supplying the largest, blue-chip companies in this industry with the system that nexocode built.

How did nexocode perform from a project management standpoint?

Yesterday, Microsoft migrated our account without our knowledge. Even though we had global redundancy, they made a mess. Without even having to ask them, nexocode’s team fixed the issue. They immediately put an engineer on the case. Responsiveness has never been an issue; we’ve never had to ask where Radosław was. If we find a problem, he or his team will already be working on it. We can’t do any better.

We use JIRA for project tracking. nexocode’s team uses Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We have worked with IT companies in the past but have never had the type of relationship we have with nexocode. They’re amazing. We’re all human, and we treat each other accordingly. Radosław treats us correctly, and this is the most important thing. He is fair and hardworking and has built a similar team around him, one which shares his ethics.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve by increasing the size of their team since we keep stretching them. They are working on this.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should visit nexocode and not just talk on the phone. This will give them a real feel for the company.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for Google in the developer relations team. I’m a lead for the Google Developers Experts program to support the process in which we onboard new experts.

What challenge were you trying to address with NexoCode?

We needed some tooling. We went beyond the capabilities of our forms and various spreadsheets. It was hard to manage and we realized we needed a custom solution for that. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

They helped us redefine and improve the process itself. They proposed an architecture that was the frontend in Angular and the backend using Firebase. They also proposed some backend which was not only Firebase, just to tackle some of the functionalities we wanted, especially sending emails. They established the whole infrastructure, the staging environment, system environment, and production environment. 

They started implementing the screens, the backend, the login, the dashboards for onboarding, the application form, user management, and some administrative views in which we assign our interviewers and our regional leads. I work with the team of around 30 people who are spread around the world and who lead developer relations. They do the execution of my program on the ground and they also use the tool.

What is the team dynamic? 

We worked with programmers and project managers and a very talented UX [user experience] designer.

We started with just 1 backend developer and 2 frontend developers. Over time, we extended that to 3 frontend developers, 1 backend, and almost 60%–70% of the UX person’s time. She’s now also acting as the project manager from their side. 

How did you come to work with NexoCode?

We didn’t have a lot of time to find a supplier or to make huge assessments from the technical point of view. We posted about our needs on social media, and NexoCode was the most flexible and the fastest to respond.

Radoslaw [Founder, NexoCode] was very flexible. I knew them from other projects so I was sure they were what we wanted. We signed a contract that was fixed in time and money, but not on the scope. We had a fully Agile approach to that. 

We could have waited for another year to figure out the final architecture and the best company to implement it, but we made some quick decisions and they helped us with finding architecture and defined the details of the product. 

How much have you invested with them?

We have spent over $300,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2016 and the work is ongoing. 

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

The main business value for me is in the onboarding process, which is the main content they are developing. I had one person responsible for that on my team. That person was able to process 5–10 people to the next stage per week. After the solution was introduced, the same person was able to process 120–130 applications in the first 3 weeks. It’s 8–10 times faster and more efficient versus our previous process. 

Our users are happy. Users are candidates who have tried the program, but also other people from Google who are working with the tool such as regional leads or interviewers. The tool is used by 80–100 people per week, at least. 

How did NexoCode perform from a project management standpoint?

Their communication is very good. I consider myself part of the team in a truly Agile environment. We have weekly meetings. Whenever I need more information, they are responsive. We use email or we organize Hangouts over the video conference. They used JIRA to manage the sprint, the bugs, and the feature requests. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very flexible. They’re very good if they work with a customer who is also truly Agile. A lot of companies say they’re Agile, but they’re not in the sense that they always want a fixed term, fixed money, and fixed scope. I attracted them with having the scope pretty open, but I’m happy with the results. 

That’s the way to work with them. To keep the budget in some boundaries, you define the amount of money. They tell you how many people will be working on it. It’s somewhat well defined, but it also depends on how many people you want in your project. We were burning our money a little bit faster, but that was a conscious decision from my side. I would recommend them for these types of jobs. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We had some different opinions on architecture, but it doesn’t prove them wrong. I’m a programmer myself and have developed many projects before. They are more traditional regarding architectures where you have a frontend, a backend, the database, and so on. Maybe they could be a bit more open to the newest technologies. However, it’s not like they’re using ancient stuff. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open to the Agile approach in terms of scope especially.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the CEO of a technology company that offers solutions for the travel sector.

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

We hired nexocode to design and develop a complex corporate booking tool. The platform had to offer booking for a wide range of flights, hotels, and rail offers along with advanced management features and 24/7 travel support. Our goal was to create a one-stop solution that would enable companies of all sizes to effortlessly manage the entire business trip process in one place.

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

nexocode was selected because they are a well-established company with a lot of experience in the field of custom software development and artificial intelligence. Their research and design processes were other important factors that convinced us to work with them.

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

When we started to work with nexocode they suggested starting with a design sprint that helped us map the solution we wanted to see and validate some of the ideas we initially had for the project. This was followed by the development of a Minimum Viable Product. They created the branding for the project and a very flexible design system. The MVP, which focused on providing a smooth flight booking experience for business travelers, was then used to gather feedback from our target users. Based on this feedback, nexocode further developed the platform and added more features.

The next milestone was to provide more integrations and content, such as hotel and rail offers. To widen offered travel inventory nexocode team developed direct integrations with various providers and a fast booking engine that gathers all the necessary data for each request. The next stage was to add management features for administrators and a 24/7 travel support service.

At this stage, we conducted additional workshops that helped us map the complex processes of delegation management and settlement to provide advanced options for business travelers. The platform enables setting and executing company travel policy as well as a straightforward approval process. As the project was gaining users and we saw great potential in the project we decided to attract new clients with AI solutions as our competitive edge. nexocode team used their experience and expertise in AI to develop a recommendation engine that would suggest the best travel options to our users based on their preferences.The engine is continuously learning and improving its results.

Another place where we used nexocode's expertise was the automation of expense claims management for travelers by incorporating a dedicated optical character recognition and natural language processing for extracting the relevant data from travel receipts. When it comes to the technologies used we relied on nexocode's long-standing experience with Java and Kotlin on the backend and Vue.js for the frontend side. ML parts of the project were developed with Python and Tensorflow library.

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

During the project, we had a dedicated team of 7 people from nexocode working on our project. The team consisted of:

• 1 team leader
• 1 product designer
• 2 frontend developers
• 2 backend developers
• 1 ML engineer

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

The platform nexocode developed for us is now used by hundreds of business travelers every day. It offers a wide range of flight, accommodation, and trains options along with advanced management features. Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology and a simple and intuitive user interface, we were able to transform the business travel experience for both travelers and company administrators.

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

nexocode team followed a very agile methodology supported by design thinking practices and was always up for feedback. They used Jira for issue tracking and Slack for communication. We were always happy with their timeliness, as they were able to deliver on time every sprint. The team was very responsive and managed to hit all the deadlines we set.

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

They used their skills in AI and ML that power our recommendation engine and expense claim management automation. nexocode team's expertise and experience with AI are impressive. The team has also great product skills that helped us build a very intuitive and user-friendly platform that stays way ahead of the competition.

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

We were happy with the work the nexocode team did for us and can't think of anything they could have done differently. They are a very reliable vendor with a lot of experience in the field. Their agile approach and design thinking practices helped us deliver an excellent product on time. We would advise nexocode's future clients to be open with their needs and listen to what the nexocode team suggests as they have a lot of experience and expertise in the area of custom product development and given a chance they will exceed your expectations.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the global program manager for a technology company.

What challenge were you trying to address with nexocode?

We received thousands of applications every year globally, which required a lot of manual work. Thus, we wanted to create a platform that would automate most of that manual work to make our processes easier and faster.

What was the scope of their involvement?

nexocode developed a custom software piece to automate our processes and save us time. Initially, we met with them and talked about what we wanted and how we wanted the platform to work. Then, they shaped our whole process so that they could develop the platform.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two frontend developers, two backend developers, a lead project manager, and a designer.

How did you come to work with nexocode?

We decided to work with nexocode because we had heard many good things about them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over $200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from June 2021–February 2022.

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

The software developed by nexocode is definitely a time saver for us, helping us manage our global process. We still get thousands of applications, but we’re now saving a lot of time. Before having this software, it took us over an hour to process one application. Now, it takes us less than 45 minutes.

How did nexocode perform from a project management standpoint?

nexocode’s project management was amazing. Our engagement was really dynamic because we changed deadlines on our side a lot. For example, they sometimes had to do something faster than we agreed due to a change on our side. However, they always did their best to meet our expectations, and we never waited for them. Additionally, they delivered everything in advance to give us time for testing and feedback.

Regarding communication, nexocode was really willing to brainstorm with me to propose solutions. We spoke with them twice a week to see the progress and check on mockups. They used Jira for project management, spreadsheets to check the backlog and prioritize tasks, and Adobe to design the mockups. Additionally, we communicated via virtual meetings and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

nexocode was very good at finding innovative solutions. They always tried to make everything as easy and straightforward as possible, which was really good for me as a non-technical person. Thanks to their approach, I understood everything very clearly. Soon into our engagement, I knew I could trust them because they knew what they were doing.

Additionally, nexocode had a very good customer approach. They were really willing to understand our goals, and they did everything in their hand to meet them. Many times, they even proposed solutions that were far better than what we were thinking before.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I was satisfied with their work. They offered great support, their prices were good compared to other companies, and they were very responsive overall. There was nothing they could have improved on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Perfect. Starting with an in-depth analysis by Design Thinking, through agile methods during software production. Production of subsequent versions in SCRUM sprints proved to be very effective and allowed to provide the most effective system functions for business.
