Pecode

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We hired Pecode after struggling to get our ideas on a piece of paper and visualising how the app will turn out.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found these amazing people on Upwork after interviewing a few people and seeing their portfolio we decided to settle for the best.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The term produced wireframes and mockups.

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

We worked with Marta who was amazing, but the onboarding started with the whole team who are all a bunch of great people!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Perfection! Their team is absolutely amazing when it comes to taking your idea and putting it in wireframes and mockups to bring your idea to life.

The team was extremely efficient, very good at communicating and asking the right questions to help us decide what we needed. Their creativity was magical, and we loved every moment that we worked with them. We truly didn't expect to see the results we did, but wow what an amazing job they completed with ease!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They were absolutely amazing! We were shocked at how good they are after struggling with multiple different people.

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

We hired Pecode for webdesign for a website offering a cryptocurrency trader tool

SOLUTION

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

We found this company on upwork

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

We first had a meeting to dive into the type of project we are building, and the look and feel it should have. We also discussed our process of rapid iteration and continuous feedback/integration.

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

Polina Katasonova worked with us as a UX designer

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The results were top class. Polina was very quick to understand concepts, despite the subject of our web application being quite abstract and technical. In Dutch we would say: "Giving her two words is enough". The team delivered a top class result very rapidly, leaving very little room for improvement.

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

This first assignment was not a very big one, so there was hardly any project management to be done, although we hope to stay professional partners with this company.

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

Mostly the design uniqueness and ability to iterate and work so rapidly.

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

There are not areas in which our company experienced room for improvement. Yes, there were very minor additions and changes to be done after receiving a first concept of the design, but that is of course natural. But in all key aspects of our cooperation: communication, social ability, and delivering quality design, Pecode excelled.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Pecode Software?

We needed someone to design our website pages and create vector stock looking images.

What were your goals for this project?

Wanted the website to look like a modern startup with fun visuals.

SOLUTION

How did you select Pecode Software?

I found Iryna on Upwork and she got great reviews.

Describe the project in detail.

We needed someone to design our website pages and create vector stock looking images.

What was the team composition?

It was just me working with the designer, Iryna.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Iryna did a fantastic job and I am always super impressed with her work. The website layout she designed is intuitive and very professional. What makes Iryna so special, however, is her ability to also design amazing looking visuals to complement the theme of the website.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Iryna was great for our workflow as she was always super responsive and finished projects very quickly while maintaining superb quality.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The level of professionalism and prompt communication was impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I feel like the company could do a better job offering free of charge services. Every time I asked for tiny modifications to be done to the project after the project was officially finished, I was always charged for the extra work. On paper this makes sense, but it would have been nice if I didn't always have to pay for an additional 20 minutes of work - considering I've been a loyal customer and have paid handsomely.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Homeroom helps schools manage after school enrichment programs

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Pecode Software?

We hired Pecode Software to provide both manual and automated QA testing for our web application.

What were your goals for this project?

Ensure the quality of our web application.

SOLUTION

How did you select Pecode Software?

I interviewed several remote software development firms and decided after talking to Alexander that Pecode Software was the best fit.

Describe the project in detail.

We hired Alexander (and his company Pecode Software) to be the QA for our web application homeroom.com. We have some fairly complicated user flows with little documentation.

The first thing Alexander did was to write documentation on our use-cases to verify his understanding of the product. He then brought on board Slava Khoroshenko to be the QA on our service.

Slava wrote test cases for all our features/flows and formalized a plan for how to test the service. Slava tested new features, performed regression testing, ad-hoc testing and bug fix verification. He found many critical bugs, and helped us stabilize the product. Additionally Alexander assisted us in writing automated UI tests, ensuring we had coverage on most areas of the application.

Despite being in a timezone halfway around the world, and different native languages, we had no communication issues and the partnership worked extremely well. I highly recommend Slava, Alexander and his company Pecode software.

What was the team composition?

Slava was an integral part of our team. We communicate with him directly via Slack.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our support cases dropped significantly as we were able to ensure quality before releases.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was quite effective. Alexander and Slava used all the same tools we used - Slack, Jira, Github, etc. The timezone difference worked to our advantage. We'd implement and fix bugs, and they got tested overnight, such that we'd come in the morning having things tested and bugs to fix.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Several things - Slava's attention to detail and curiosity about the product. While he wrote test cases, he didn't just stick to the test cases, and tried out various things to test the application.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No

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

What was your primary form of communication with Pecode?

Virtual Meeting

The people that I worked with on this project were always available to chat during our overlapping business hours. They gave me upfront estimates and daily updates about progress. I was incredibly pleased with the experience of working with them.

What was your primary form of communication with Pecode?

Email or Messaging App

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

The work itself was of the highest quality, but aside from that I really felt like the people I worked with on the project truly cared about the success of my project and business.

They offered suggestions and really helped me understand the rationale for it. They were also receptive to my feedback. I would definitely work with them again.
