Origami Studios

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Co-founder of a public speaking forum. We provide a platform to individuals who want to share their story with the world. A perfect blend of Toastmasters and TEDx.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We were looking to build an app that can run smoothly on both Android and iOS platforms. Due to budget and time constraints, we wanted to get the new app live quicker and make it a pocket-friendly option for our audiences.

SOLUTION

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

We were looking for a vendor that is capable enough to build and deliver the desired app timely and hassle free. We interviewed about seven providers and the vendor was the team’s unanimous choice. The provider showcased a few of the similar apps of some other clients that we could well relate to our needs and we decided to hire the developer.

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

When the vendor started working on the project, we engaged and the vendor helped us map out features that were essential for the app. They also added in a couple of good ideas during the process. Based on our discussions, we created a detailed scope of work. Post that, they started working on the app. The vendor team responded quickly and shared the raw draft in a week’s time. The raw UI and UX they shared was interactive and engaging. After some tos-and-fros, we finalized the app outlook, color scheme, app-flow, app name and other tit-bits in just two days. The team then delivered the final product in about a month’s time. We still consider it quick.

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

We interacted with the core React Native App Development team throughout the app’s life-cycle. This included a tech lead, and a few UX/UI designers and React Native Developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We first launched it on Android as a trial and we were amazed to see the user’s response. In the first week we recorded 5000 downloads of which around 500 users subscribed and paid for the app. The reason for the 10% subscription in the first week was primarily the lower cost that was possible only due to our in-budget React Native based app. Very next week, the app was live on iOS as well with almost similar response rate.

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

Mostly all the communication happened through phone and emails. The developers carried a transparent project management style throughout the app development. They were quick and prompt with responses to our queries and concerns.

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

Technical expertise on the React Native, their overall skill-set, quick turnaround and project management style impressed us the most.

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

None. Happy with the services and value of money!

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Origami Studios helped us revamping our existing food delivery platform and developed food ordering applications. The objective is to have a smart system with integrated apps to have better control on the business operations including: orders tracking, staff in-field performance and making the order process easier for our end customers.

SOLUTION

The vendor was recommended by one of our senior team members. She worked with the vendor in his previous organization and had a wonderful experience.

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

The project scope involved upgrading our existing food delivery platform. There were some critical bugs in our existing platform and we had a development requirement of additional features: live calling, in-field staff performance, chat with the customers and delivery agents. Initially, the platform had an integrated web ordering system only. We engaged Origami Studios to develop food ordering apps for our customers.

We were impressed with the approach and ideas discussed during the discovery call. The team fixed outstanding issues in the system and developed apps from scratch. We experienced seamless delivery with great communication while working with them.

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

We were given a team of 6 including a Project Manager, 2 Flutter developers, 1 UI/UX designer, 1 Quality Assurance Engineer and 1 Dev-ops Engineer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app worked effectively from the very first day of launch. Our managers were happy with the system as they can now monitor business operations, track precise position of the field staff and can interact with them through the app whenever required. Our Customers responded well and we registered a massive download in the first week of launch. The users rated our App 4.5 on Google Play Store and 4 on Apple App Store.

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

The process was relatively easy to follow. We attended fortnightly meetings to review the progress. The project management was done through Jira and Slack. We are really thankful to the assigned Project Manager, having great patience to answer our queries.

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

I am personally impressed with their solution solving approach and prompt communication. Kudos to the team!

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

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

We wanted to revamp our app’s user interface and make a few enhancements - things like easy sign-up, integration of a reliable payment gateway, ability to search nearby outlets, and scheduling an appointment. On top of this, we also needed to revamp the UI to make it more user-friendly and easy to navigate.

SOLUTION

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

We had been looking for an app development agency for quite some time when we encountered Origami Studios. We set up a call with their team to understand their services. They showcased us a few apps from their portfolio. We loved their experience with the design and development of mobile apps. This made our decision really easier to work with them.

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

Our app was lacking several important features which were to be implemented and we also wanted to revamp the UI. Their team first mapped out user journeys and created several fresh designs for the interface. We picked one that resonated with our business. They then started working on implementing the additional features. The beta version was ready in 3 months for our internal review. All the features were neatly incorporated in an intuitive UI.

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

We mostly worked with the technical lead assigned to us. He was managing his team of designers and app developers to work on our project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app is now fast, snappy, and intuitive. We recently surveyed our users post deployment of the new app - and the results show 90% of them are happy with the new design and additional features. Working with their team was a great experience overall. They were time-bound and very friendly.

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

The project was managed via Wrike. The team was consistent with the timeline and shared progress reports. We had weekly calls via Zoom wherein we discussed the nitty gritty details about the project.

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

Their team is very creative. We ran into a few challenges while working up our way through the development phase - but they always managed to find a solution. They knew the platform very well and were creative enough to find a way of making things work. We enjoyed our partnership and look forward to working with them in future.

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

Yes, I’d say it would have been great if they had established KPIs initially. Although that’s no big deal as they handled the project very professionally.
