Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their approach to project management was exceptionally professional. We used Slack, email, and Google Meet for all our project communications. The developer assigned to our project conducted daily meetings with the team, ensuring clear and effective communication. 
What stood out was the developer's proactivity and creativity; he brought forth some excellent ideas that we later implemented. Impressively, he delivered the main functionality ahead of schedule, giving us ample time to refine and polish everything.

What was your primary form of communication with Patternica?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What really set this company apart was their remarkable proactivity and the clarity in communication and expectations they maintained throughout the project. Additionally, the quality of their work was evident in the clean and well-designed code they produced. 
Another impressive aspect was their comprehensive and well-structured documentation, which greatly facilitated our understanding and use of their work. This combination of attributes made our experience with them truly unique and commendable.

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

The only suggestion I have for Patternica is to increase their marketing efforts. They offer exceptional services that could benefit many more companies if they were more widely known. A stronger presence in the market would allow more businesses to take advantage of their outstanding capabilities. Beyond this, I truly can't think of any areas needing improvement; our experience with them was thoroughly positive and professional.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

we needed for existing integrations to be moved from our internal services. This would need to be managed and supported whilst providing the high quality customer experience that is associated with our company.

From all that we searched for online, they provide the best prices, quality of work and flexibility. They are very open to change and fast pace projects.

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

We had kick off meetings about the projects and how the channel and shipping integrations would work. SOW are then created and they would provide a break down of the scope and the cost of each integration. Testing would be then before allowing the projects to go live.

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

Generally we would be in contact with Business Analyst/Project Manager and the developers when needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

After going live all the project have been successful they even provide the support for us and are very reliable when getting in contact with customers.

We had a weekly call with their project managers who could communicate updates about the projects, we used email, Slack and freshdesk for communication and ticket querying, all which work very well with my team.

They have a lot experience in the industry and have good general knowledge and understanding of technical concepts. The quality of work is at a very high standard and the cost is very competitive.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am working in development at an interior design firm. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Patternica?

We hired Patternica to help us develop an online platform because we didn’t have the internal resources to complete it without external assistance. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Patternica has provided us with a frontend developer to augment our internal staff and assist with platform development. The overall goal was to develop the platform, which would bring designers and clients together for an interior design contest. However, after the first month, we extended the scope of work and added more features to the platform.

What is the team composition?

We only worked with Adriana (Frontend Web Developer) and occasionally interacted with Anton (CEO). 

How did you come to work with Patternica?

We found Patternica on a freelance website while looking for staff for a different project. They didn’t have the skills to work on the other project, but they were well-matched and well-priced for the platform development, so we hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around $7,000 on this project with Patternica. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Patternica from November 2021–February 2022 on this project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Last week, Patternica helped us finalize the platform’s MVP — we now have a fully working Angular-based application. 

How did Patternica perform from a project management standpoint?

I managed the entire project, but did have daily calls in Google Meet with Adriana to discuss project progress. We worked closely on the project. Typically, we communicated through email, and when we extended the scope of work, we had quick calls with Patternica’s CEO. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Patternica’s value for the investment made was excellent — they delivered what they promised for a reasonable price. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for Patternica to improve. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d suggest that customers internally manage projects with Patternica to ensure that everything is well documented.
