BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I run a small development company called BrightSide Digital in Kansas City. We do projects of all kinds for companies all around the world. Recently we have been doing a lot of mobile development and we outsource some of the work when appropriate. I run all the day-to-day operations including client communication, project management, development and also working with our offshore resources.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Nimblechapps Ltd?

We hired Nimblechapps for multiple mobile apps that are now on the iOS and Android app stores. Those apps were Christ Connected and Marinate. I mainly handled all backend code and project management for these two projects and nimblechapps developers wrote the frontend code for me. I deployed both projects to the app stores at the end of 2020 and have had some ongoing work every since.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal was to utilize nimblechapps developers to help increase the speed of development while maintaining proper code practices so the applications could scale.

SOLUTION

Found them on upwork

I handled all backend engineering and UX designs prior to the project's start with Nimblechapps. Once we got going I had them knock out the frontend designs and I handled the KANBAN board on Github. I also handled all QA and testing for both applications.

Both apps made it to the app store which was our goal. Now its the clients job to make the app grow and we will provide ongoing changes when needed.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Hiring Nimblechapps Ltd saved me a lot of time. It did increase my hours at night and during the day because I was communicating with them, writing tasks and code reviewing. But, I could not have done the backend and frontend code all by myself in the same amount of time it took by utilizing nimblechapps.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They were very flexible with me and allowed me to onboard two developers very quickly. Their resource manager was very professional and the developers were very knowledgable.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a company that provides software development services targeted towards commerce and retail.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nimblechapps Ltd?

We wanted to upgrade our software, which required the use of Angular. It was an unfamiliar framework for our team. We needed a company that had experience working with the tool to create a demo site that would serve as a baseline and demonstrate to clients that we could build using JavaScript.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nimblechapps Ltd’s helping to create a demo of a retail system, which shows an e-commerce website. It’s a usual business to consumer case, but it’s also a big application. With the platform, users can browse listed products and search by category or item. Consumers can add products to a cart and check out. In the end, users can purchase products, which involved implementing security and credit card payment capabilities. Their team also integrated the platform with external systems such as shipping.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with a developer and a project manager who has been our main point of contact. They seemed to be structured in a way where you don’t deal with the developer directly.

How did you come to work with Nimblechapps Ltd?

We interviewed a few companies. Nimblechapps Ltd seemed to have the technical experiences we sought in a partner.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The goal of the engagement has been to make sure that we could build a functional application—a product to be considered as a solid demo—within three months. We’re at the end of development, which I consider a success. Now, we’re familiar with the tools and the process to build the product. Nimblechapps Ltd also gave us extra value. Sometimes they’ve proposed ideas that we hadn’t considered.

How did Nimblechapps Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?

Their management was one of the qualities I’ve enjoyed. Having worked with abroad resources before, good communication skills aren’t a given. Nimblechapps Ltd has been able to communicate, give status updates, and provide clear explanations of processes. Their team has been quick and sensitive to communication. Even when I’ve sent them a comment during the day—their night—I’ve received a response within minutes.

What did you find most impressive about them?

In summary, it has been their team's management skills. They’ve tacked the project actively rather than passively. Nimblechapps Ltd has been organized and professional. With them, you pay for one resource but end up receiving one and a quarter. Their project manager will follow up on everything, which is a bonus you won't find anywhere else.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Their invoicing system could be improved but it’s working.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you have tools for communication that are already on your side. Don’t use only e-mails to communicate. Have chat apps or other platforms to use for conferences and to exchange files quickly.
