in just one month of development, Plathanus was able to deliver the mobile app. Though the app is not commercially available yet, the client believes the platform sales will increase because of it. Strong communication skills and swift resolution of problems made the engagement successful.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the technology leader at Feedz, responsible for the entire operation of the platform. Our company has more than 20 employees and we have developed our platform for companies that want to increase employee engagement and improve team management.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Plathanus?

Our company felt the need to have a mobile application to meet a very specific demand, but of great value for our growth in the job market. We don't have enough manpower to build an application and maintain the platform.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal is notification in mobile applications. With this, we believe that the engagement of the platform will increase considerably, given that many of our users work in the field.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We already know the excellent work of Plathanus, both from friends and referrals.

Describe the project in detail.

The goal of the project is to have an application that runs our current web platform, within a mobile application, but that we can use the push notification tool native to the mobile phone.

We held two alignment meetings and entered Slack to improve communication. The whole project, the communication was impeccable, always very direct and fast, which made it easier to overcome problems encountered.

What was the team composition?

Five people were assigned to test the application that was being implemented by Plathanus. Plathanus made available two people who dominate the content for both IOS and Android, which made us accelerate the project to deliver an excellent job.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

With one month of development, we have an application that will meet this demand that we need. We believe that the application will help a lot when selling our platform and provide inputs for the commercial to explore this side more.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project had a fluid and objective communication. It was easy to talk about the problems encountered and find solutions that we managed to get through these problems without increasing the cost of the project in both time and money.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The best part of working with Plathanus is that they embrace the project in a spectacular way. They want the right project and to meet all customer expectations

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything is in perfect sync, with no improvements to report.
