Pixelfield

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Co-Founder of Essential Parent, UK.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to develop an elegant mobile App for use with our private-sector healthcare clients - starting with a very large UK client and then replicating the App for other clients as we grow. Our goals were to offer our own clients access to our healthcare digital library within their own-brand, neatly interactive system.

SOLUTION

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

We searched online and interviewed extensively - having had 2 very bad past experiences. Pixelfield were the best fit for our brief and budget and they have surpassed our hopes in delivery.

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

Create an iOS and Android App - home for our digital healthcare video and written library - deliverable on a PN timeline to end-users.

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

A PM in both Prague and London and a small dev team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

App finished within required timeframe and budget. Our own client very happy.

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

Easy to reach PM. Good returning of calls and setting up of meetings.

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

Very efficient. Know what they're doing - but amazingly lacking in the arrogance that most tech teams seem to have. They are a very friendly and patient team who added value to our brief. We will be continuing to work with them to expand and replicate our App - and I have already recommended them to colleagues.

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

NA

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of a new social network. We're a start-up with international ambitions. We are based in Prague, but our location is all over the world.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Pixelfield?

The first idea was just to validate the idea and create a prototype. The Pixelfield boys don't just go as a pen to draw you. They act as a partner who wants to take your business further and help you make your project a success.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goals are great, but I believe that with Pixelfield's partner, we are able to achieve them. The first goal was to validate the concept and put together the MVP and the whole application. We have achieved this goal and now face recruiting and moving the application forward.

SOLUTION

How did you select Pixelfield?

I searched online and made comparisons. Pixelfield appealed to me most, and above all, CEO Filipa's friendly and supportive approach convinced me to make my app with them.

Describe the project in detail.

First, I was referred to designer Dominik, who was able to find what we were looking for in the app with an amazing approach. Pixelfield was ready and there was no need for a single live meeting, we did it all over the internet. \

As a start-up company, they had a lot of experience that might or might not work. They then transfer this experience to applications. Subsequently, we shifted to a development that works just as well.

If you want to be there, you have the opportunity to talk directly to the developers, communicate your comments, on the contrary, if you want time, one of the guys will take care of you and handle all the comments for you.

What was the team composition?

As I wrote, Pixelfield gives you carte blanche on this. If you want comments directly from the developers, you can.

If you want peace of mind, you'll have your account manager. Of course, there are plenty of people - from developers, designers to testers to test the functionality of your app.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Right now, we're still ahead of the start phase, so I expect to share the numbers later. But for me, the greatest achievement is that we put together a concept at all.

My assignment was hard enough to understand, yet it went exactly as I imagined. I am completely satisfied and that is important to me.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

A lot of tools are used for work. Google hangouts are practically a daily routine, Miro to validate concepts, Google Workspace to work with documents and data. There was virtually no need to use the telephone because we did all the work through these tools and it worked beautifully.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their approach to work. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is unsure of their concept and needs help. I think Pixelfield is ready to do big projects and send you in the right direction. As I've written, they're more of a partner than a company.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I think their work is very high quality and if I ever had another digital product, I certainly know who I would go to.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We needed help with innovations for our family business. We run several optics, and we needed to design a new system that would help our internal communication.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

How did you select Pixelfield and what were the deciding factors?

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are really happy with the results, and we are using the tool on daily basis.

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

We had no problems whatsoever regarding communication or timelines.

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

We have no technical background, so we were afraid that execution of this project is going to be a headache for us. But it was nothing like that. That team was really helpful and patient, especially Dominik.

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

Nothing really comes to mind.
