BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the co-founder of a technology startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We needed support to develop our web application and website. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nextly offers remote staff augmentation services and has developed our web application's front- and backend, which runs on AWS. The team has also built our website. Nextly has demonstrated they have experience in the different technologies we wanted to use on this project, which include Node.js, React, Lambda, AWS, Amazon S3, Amazon Cognito, and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). 

Initially, I spent a couple of calls with Nextly's lead engineer reviewing our project, and within that week, he delivered a complete list of my application's requirements. He has ensured to demonstrate he understood all of our requirements by providing a detailed document. When Nextly was developing our website, the team had already built several components of the web app and was able to reuse a lot of the code they had created. 

The site has been developed from scratch and hosted on Amazon S3 and serves in a content delivery network and AWS. The team has designed the website UI and created animations. Nextly has worked in collaboration with our UI designer.

What is the team composition?

We work with three frontend engineers, a UI/UX designer, and two backend engineers, one of whom is the lead engineer. We've also had assistance from Nextly's CTO early on.  

How did you come to work with Nextly?

I have a technical background of 25 years in software engineering, and I defined the technologies I wanted to use on this project and how to architect the app. When searching for service providers, I looked for organizations that could help with those particular technologies. I reviewed Nextly's reviews on Clutch, narrowed my search to two service providers, and started engaging with them.

Nextly stood out because they brought a lead engineer into our first calls who gave us a week of his time for free. We reviewed our project's requirements with the team and decided we were a good fit.
How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $75,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Nextly in October 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Nextly has completed our website and web app. We've received several signups for our waitlist and are working through it to start our closed beta phase with the people from the waitlist. I'm impressed by Nextly's ability to create a well-designed app in terms of aesthetics and UI. The team has done a pixel-to-pixel recreation of the design created by our internal UI designer, which is incredible. I'm very happy with the quality of the look and feel. 

Nextly has created an impressive design for an MVP product. Our goal was to stay a bit scrappy and ensure we could design on top of it in the future stages of our MVP. Nextly has architected the app in a way that allows us to grow easily, and thanks to the resilient architecture, we've been able to modify the app quickly and easily. 

Nextly has created a website that runs well and has great animations. Initially, we didn't have a clear idea of the animation work we wanted on the site, but we knew we wanted it to have movement, and Nextly's team proposed great ideas that we accepted. Nextly has demonstrated robust technical skills.

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

We constantly communicate with Nextly about the project's deadlines and budget. Whenever the team is worried about the budget, they are always clear, so I have an estimate of what it'll take to complete each task and any cost overruns we might incur as a result of onboarding additional staff. We have a weekly standing project meeting and one-on-one meetings to discuss any solutions or designs we need to do.

We also have a Slack channel with all the engineers who have been assigned to our project. We've worked with different engineers who have been rolled off throughout the project because they completed that portion of the development. It's good to keep all teammates who've worked on our project in our Slack channel so they can see what stage the project is at and stay updated. We primarily communicate via Slack.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Luis (Software Architect) has been phenomenal in helping us understand work. I've taken solutions to him, and on more than one occasion, he has come back proposing a better way to accomplish the same solution. He demonstrates how to find a better solution and is an excellent asset to our project. He has simplified our architecture and design and, overall, made things better. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

One thing that stands out to me, which I wasn't expecting, is that I came to them because I thought I needed technology-specific support rather than business logic support. However, once Nextly understood what our company is about and what we're trying to pull off, they found people within their staff with previous experience in the same domain we required. Nextly has pulled them into the project to work on some very business-specific functions, which has been incredible. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We haven't encountered any issues working with Nextly. At one point, some engineers were doing refactoring while we were trying to get the website launched, and the lead engineer stopped them when he realized they were working on refactoring instead of the outstanding tickets. Nextly caught and addressed the issue and didn't charge me for that work because they knew that wasn't what I wanted to accomplish at that point. Nextly has been incredible to work with at every step of the way.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Having Nextly's lead engineer assigned to our project has been really good for us because I can't spend my time directing the engineering team. The fact that I have someone to rely on who directs the team, guides them, and also maintains stability throughout the project while teammates have rolled on and rolled off has been the most effective thing.

I’m one of the managing directors of WillDom, a software development company. We provide staffing and consulting services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We needed help to staff end-client projects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nextly helps us fill some gaps in staffing. We give them the job description and where we’re looking to move on according to the requirements.

What is the team composition?

We’re mainly in contact with the founder and the co-founder.

How did you come to work with Nextly?

Someone in our organization reached out to them and connected with them first.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve paid between $100,000–$150,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in August 2022. We’ve been working together for a while; our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Nextly has helped us grow our revenue. We’ve used one of their teammates for an end-client project, so they’ve had a positive impact there. Overall, they meet expectations.

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is straightforward. Nextly is pretty hands-off because the client works directly with the person we have there. However, they’re quick to respond any time we need support.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team is easy to work with, and their service is quick.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we’ve been really satisfied with the experience.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend having an open, collaborative mind; everything will go smoothly.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of software engineering at an operational intelligence company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We hird Nextly for their staff augmentation services.  

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially provided Nextly with our basic requirements, and then they sent us a couple of resumes. We were price-sensitive, so they gave us relevant candidates that met that need. Our team reviewed the first and second candidates they provided and went through our typical interviewing routine. 

At present, we’re working with one data scientist from Nextly. The resource does general tasks for us and works remotely. 

What is the team composition?

We work with one data scientist. 

How did you come to work with Nextly?

Nextly reached out to me via LinkedIn, responding to a post I made. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the engagement around April 2023, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have internal KPIs and goals set within our team, and the resource has been living up to expectations. 

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is generally good. To collaborate, we use Jira and Slack. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The resource from Nextly has great communication skills. It’s important for us to be proactive and not reactive, and he’s been truly engaged with our team. There’s no prodding necessary, and he’s relatively independent. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nextly could communicate better in terms of any issues that crop up in relation to the resource we have. Usually, no news is good news. At the same time, it’s always good to get confirmation that everyone’s happy and we’re on the same page. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know what you want. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder and CTO of Spotfund. We’re a crowdfunding platform that helps individuals, businesses, and nonprofits raise money for various causes. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

Nextly provides outsourced engineers for us. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, I spoke with one of Nextly’s team members via Google Meet and discussed what we needed in terms of React-based development. They said they had the right person for us. Within 24–48 hours, I was back on a call with that person. 

We started working with her. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I managed the knowledge transfer and set her up with some people from our existing engineering team. She started out with a week of reviewing our code, looking at the requirements of the things we built, and looking into our upcoming requirements. 

Moreover, we walked her through our platform, technology stack, deployment process, testing process, and other things. From there, she worked on minor tasks that were short in nature. Then, her tasks ramped up quickly. After that, we added one more frontend engineer from Nextly to augment our team. 

Fast forward to the end of 2022, my most senior backend developer left, giving me a one-month notice that he was moving to a new opportunity. I then reached out to Nextly and asked them about a backend Python and Django engineer. They said they had a resource available, so we brought that developer into our team. 

Our backend is incredibly complicated. It’s a full-service fintech platform with plenty of end-to-end workflows both in and out of the platform. As a result, it took a little longer for the new developer to get up to speed. We had a one-month crossover with our senior resource who was leaving, and most of the training was done within that period. 

In January 2023, the backend developer started doing more complicated tasks with my supervision. By the end of that month, he was off and running. 

At present, that backend developer is completely leading our backend development team. We now have three resources from Nextly on our front- and backend. They participate in our sprints. Once a week, we define what they’re going to work on in the upcoming week. They create code and engineer our platform, shipping the code in a way that helps us stay competitive in our market. 

What is the team composition?

We work with two frontend engineers and one backend engineer from Nextly. 

How did you come to work with Nextly?

We found Nextly through Clutch. I searched for the best offshore React developers and came across their Clutch profile. We also looked into a couple of other teams and reached out to them. What I liked most about Nextly was their accommodation of our needs. 

At that time, we only needed one person to add to our team. Meanwhile, the other vendors only provided a full team, including a project manager and 2–3 developers. We had an established development process and engineering team, so we only needed one more team member to get through some of our backlogs.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested between $100,000–$150,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Nextly in April 2022, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As the CTO of our company, I’m responsible for making sure our code is of high quality — Nextly is perfect on that. From a cost perspective, their services are less expensive than if we use a US-based team. While it’s hard to put how much we save in numbers, I can say that they’re half the cost of a full-time US-based developer with the same level of quality and quantity. 

Moreover, their engineers are truly intelligent. If I write requirements that are 75% good, they can fill the 25% gap. One of the resources has been on our team for almost a year and a half, and I can give her high-level guidance rather than detailed requirements. 

Overall, Nextly’s velocity, code quality, cost, and efficiency have been great. They’re at the top of our list. On top of that, they work well together and are truly communicative with me and our team. I feel like we found a great company to work with as we continue to grow. 

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

While the process has its bumps along the way, I like that Nextly’s resources are self-sufficient. We plan our sprints, and they hit their goals at the end of the week. I’m truly pleased with that. In terms of budget, we lock in a certain number of hours a week. We rarely have to go beyond our budget unless we have a pressing matter or complicated task to accomplish. 

For tools, we use Trello for everything, including our workflows and sprints. To communicate, we use Google Meet and Slack. Nextly is on our Slack channel, and they’re highly communicative there. I can always get a hold of them quickly if something urgent comes up. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re pleased with Nextly’s talent and our smooth transition. Their management team is highly accommodating and always available for conversations. They check in on our needs and are flexible. If someone’s on vacation, they work hard to fill the role if we need it. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve been finishing two incredibly complicated projects in the last four months, and the resources have taken longer to finish. However, this isn’t only for them; it’s also for our internal engineering team — the projects are simply too complicated.  

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Treat the Nextly resources as a part of your team. You have to be involved and take ownership of the engagement and management of the resources. If you simply throw things at the wall, they’ll never get done, and the results won’t be good. 

Be hands-on with the team, especially when planning your requirements. Make sure you’re crystal clear. Be smart in communicating information because things can get lost in translation when you’re not sitting face-to-face in an office. You can lose time quickly, especially with an offshore model where time zones don’t exactly match up. Take a high level of ownership.  

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of FFL AS, a football gaming app. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We hired Nextly for their development services. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nextly is developing our backend system and mobile app, which is already on the app store. They also provide maintenance services. In terms of features, the product is a social game where users select a team, and they get points when the team scores in real life. Then, they can play against their friends. 

We plan to go global, but we’re targeting Europe for now. The product is only compatible with iOS now, though we’re working on a hybrid solution to make the product work for Android and iOS. For technologies, we’re using Swift and Kotlin.

What is the team composition?

We work with one full-time frontend developer, one full-time frontend developer, and one part-time frontend developer. The part-time resource works on our hybrid solutions, so they’ll probably work full-time eventually. Apart from that, we have a part-time project manager. 

How did you come to work with Nextly?

I found Nextly on Upwork. They had a long-standing relationship with a Norwegian company. Given that, we contacted said company, and they only had great things to say about the team. Their 15-year cooperation with a big firm reassured us that they were professional and good. That was the main reason we chose them for this project. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invest around $20,000 per month. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2023, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The features that Nextly has implemented seem to work well, and I’m truly satisfied with them.

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is quite good. There have been some missed deadlines in the beginning, but that’s fine. To communicate, we usually use Slack and Google Meet. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They deliver quality work at a reasonable price. Their quality is great, and their cost is far below other Norwegian or European companies. On top of that, they communicate well with us. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. They’re doing a great job. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have weekly meetings with Nextly, and ensure everything is on the same page at all times. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Cubby Storage.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We needed help with software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nextly has created a custom application that includes an enterprise app in the backend and a customer-facing app in the frontend. The backend enterprise part of the app is used by our employees to organize and control the box inventory.

The frontend is designed for residents of high-density buildings, like condominiums and apartment towers. Users can download our app and order storage boxes that are delivered to an on-site locker system. Then, they can retrieve those boxes from the locker system using a QR code. Users can catalog everything they’re storing.

Nextly also provides maintenance services for the app, which is also available on mobile devices and compatible with iOS and Android devices.

What is the team composition?

There are 4–8 teammates assigned to our project, including Thiers (Founder & CTO), one manager, and engineers.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $500,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around January 2020, and our engagement is ongoing.

How did you come to work with Nextly?

We put our requirements on Upwork, and Nextly answered. Our CTO interviewed them, and we decided to hire them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

While we don’t have many metrics yet, the quality of their work has been very good. The team is very intelligent and accommodating. They come up with good solutions.

How did the company perform from a project management standpoint?

Nextly is very conscientious about our budget; they make sure they’re working within our defined parameters. Nextly’s been very precise with deadlines. We’re late to go to market, but this is not Nextly’s fault; there’s been an internal delay. 

Thiers is easy to get in touch with; In addition to weekly calls, he finds time to meet with us when we need to meet with him. We’ve met face-to-face on Google Meet and Zoom and use Slack and email to communicate regularly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Nextly is very attentive and responsive. They’re eager to assist us however they can and do whatever’s in our best interest. They’re easy to work with, caring, and professional; my experience with them has been very good. I’d definitely recommend them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’ve been very pleased.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Consistent, direct communication with Nextly will help you get the most out of the engagement.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO of Entertainment, Inc., a platform for video creators to raise and distribute funds for their projects directly to an audience rather than going through a video streaming platform. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

I need additional development resources while raising capital before I’m able to hire a full-time development team. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve launched our initial development of the site and hired Nextly to provide ongoing web development services. They use JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, and NestJS to help with new features. I manage all of the pieces of work and put them into a system for Nextly to pull down. I review and approve all of the work before it goes live.

I’m interested in having Nextly continue to work with us indefinitely, even once I have the resources to hire developers internally. There are one or two places where I don’t need a whole teammate and will only need a set of expertise for a very short period. I’m hoping they’ll be able to help us with that specialist piece as well.

What is the team composition? 

There are two engineers and one product manager. 

How did you come to work with Nextly?

I found them on Upwork. I needed an agency that could step in quickly to help us keep everything functioning and add new features while we were going through the process of raising capital. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $10,000-$25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Nextly has helped replace our entire internal video streaming platform in three weeks, which is a pretty significant piece of work. 

I’m looking at the number of features that we push through and release on a weekly basis, and I feel really good about the amount of throughput we’ve been seeing. There was a little ramp-up time in the beginning, as expected, with slower output in the first few weeks. In the last month, Nextly has really hit their peak. 

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

Nextly is really great to work with. They deliver on time. I’m surprised that they’ve remained a little under budget.

We communicate via Slack. I’ve put Nextly in a lot of our general conversation channels, and they’ve been super helpful. They’re able to give quick thoughts to other teams in our organization. Twice a week, we have a Zoom call. We use GitHub to manage the project. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Nextly’s communication is great. I want to know that an engineer is self-sufficient and going to make good decisions and keep working; I don’t want them bugging me every two minutes. Similarly, I don’t want an engineer to spend a week on something I could have straightened out in just a few minutes if they’d just thought to ask. Nextly is good at hitting that middle ground of being self-sufficient and letting me know when they’re stuck. Getting that balance right is pretty unusual, and I value that even higher than the technical skills. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’ll be looking to see if they can pull teammates from the bench to fill short-term skill gaps in the near future.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Treat Nextly like a core part of your team. Don’t make the assumption that you’re just going to throw a huge piece of work over the fence and get it back in a while. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president and co-founder of a technology startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We hired them as contractors to build out the frontend of our main application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They work exclusively for our product and are plugged into our brands as part of our team. This isn’t one-off project work. Nextly provides Angular engineers that work on our client-facing application. Our bar for resources is high, as we’re looking for A+ talent, but they help us find the right people.

What is the team composition?

I mainly worked with their head of business development, as well as one of their co-founders and their head of recruitment. In terms of contract resources, we're working with a lead frontend engineer, a mid-level frontend engineer, a product manager, and a machine learning resource.

How did you come to work with Nextly?

Finding top talent based in the US has become pretty difficult, and we wanted to augment our San Francisco team with developers from South America. One of my friends recommended them to us.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost is around $40,000 per month right now.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since July 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of their work is due to their ability to find top talent.They’ve been able to hit the milestones on our product roadmap and perform very well.

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

Their lead engineer and product manager are responsible for keeping everything organized using Jira.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The reason we continue to work with them is their ability to understand the type of resources we’re looking for, both in terms of our technical and cultural requirements. They also do a great job of delivering resources that fit our exact requirements, rather than only understanding them but then missing the mark. By the time they present a candidate to us to interview, there’s a high likelihood that we’re going to end up contracting them. A lot of staffing firms continue to send resumes at a high volume, but few of their candidates are likely hires.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

When it comes to engineering positions, it’s very important to fill the senior developer positions.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the development manager of Richards, LLC, a small software development firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nextly?

We were doing software development on a large project and needed additional assistance within our team to deliver features and fixes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve hired some people through Nextly; they’ve joined us as part of our team. We work on a healthcare portal to track COVID-19 testing and results. It has a side that allows managing protocols for organizations, including some large Fortune 100 companies. The app has extensive functionality and a heavy volume of transactions.

The resources help out on frontend and full stack development. It’s mainly a JavaScript site, so we’re using Vue.js on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, and several AWS services.

What is the team composition?

We have three resources working with us right now: two frontend developers and one full stack developer. He’s more advanced, so he’s in a lead role now.

How did you come to work with Nextly?

The consultant we were working with referred them. He had a connection with Nextly.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2022, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their people fit very well with our team. They initially did well in the onboarding process, and as they’ve integrated into the project, they’ve been seamless. In particular, the lead person has had an immediate impact in driving the direction of our work, asking great questions and just being an amazing team member.

How did Nextly perform from a project management standpoint?

We have a team of three project managers, and our developers generally connect with them if they need new work. However, the PMs often will keep tickets in front of them. It’s a pretty standard process, and we use a combined board in Jira to manage our work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve done an excellent job of discussing our needs and going to great lengths to ensure they’re meeting them with the people they send us. Unlike other agencies we’ve worked with, the ratio of people we’ve interviewed to those we’ve hired is very high. Their vetting process is really effective. They’ve become our go-to provider.
