In 2020 we built terapie.cz together as an MVP. The work was done fast in agreed budget. The MVP quickly took off and after continous support for 3 years we decided to revamp the portal into a more robust, less MVP version. Their involvement focused on modernizing the Terapie.cz Portal by implementing new technologies to improve its speed and efficiency. 

This included addressing existing technological challenges and ensuring scalability to accommodate a growing user base. They transitioned from Vue + Nuxt to React, Next with static generation, and Tailwind CSS, enhancing the technological framework. Additionally, they simplified responsivity and upgraded Strapi from version 3 to version 4.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of ARBO Technologies, a forest-based care startup. We’re developing a solution for collecting and evaluating data on trees growing in cities and landscapes. This is one of several solutions we're developing to help tree specialists better assess their data.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Notum Technologies?

We needed help with custom software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Notum Technologies is developing a mobile app for data collection and also a web application for ordering reports. In addition, they're creating our database and everything that supports the data. We have our own backend team for the hardcore calculations and 3D modeling of the trees.

Notum is using React Native for both iOS and Android. Notum is also helping us with project management; they manage both their developers and our backend developers. They’re also helping us in deploying the application with DevOps, handling the development of new features.

What is the team composition?

We work one senior developer for consulting, one general developer, a junior development resource, a senior and a junior project manager, and one tester.

How did you come to work with Notum Technologies?

We've known each other for a long time.

How much have you invested with them?

The cost is around €60,000 (approximately $62,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working together since April 2021. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We started the product from scratch, so there aren't any direct KPIs. We’re currently in beta mode with our customers, and I've been quite impressed with the speed of some features and bug fixes that Notum has implemented right away. There have been some setbacks, but that’s always the case with custom software development.

How did Notum Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is good. If they don't meet a deadline, it's because there are technology challenges we didn't know about beforehand. They communicate clearly from the beginning and stay within budget. We have regular standup meetings and interact using Jira and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The solution is made up of 5–6 applications working together; it's a very complicated project. Notum proactively comes up with new ideas of how to develop these solutions. More importantly, these solutions always benefit us, rather than themselves. I really like that they're part of our team. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Think really hard about what you want from your solution. Even if you just have an idea, they'll build it out with you and find what you really want.
