How did you select this vendor?

I know Powergate since quite some years now and I have always had very fruitful and successful collaborations. I didn't have any doubt in choosing Powergate again.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We provided specifications for the project, but they were not complete at all and needed heavy revision during development. The Powergate team has been very supportive, asking the right questions and adjusting the development to the new requests in a very agile approach.

What was the team composition?

3 Developers 1 PM/BA/QA

Their communication is well above standard. They have precise deadlines and a strict agile approach.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None I can think of.

Please describe your company and your position there.

A tele-pharmacy for US market, helps doctors, patients and pharmacists text, email, chat or call in the way they communicate with their family and friends.

What were your goals for this project?

We supported coordinating patient prescription needs with their doctors and insurance plan. Unlike any other pharmacy services, delivery and auto-refilling program has made this application stand out. An mobile version of this app has made the process of immediate diagnosis much faster and attainable.

How did you select this vendor?

We needed a development partner for our app and website.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected this vendor, they showed us all benefits of mobile applications and offered best practices focused on mobile development. We also had a series of discovery meetings to discuss our goals and objectives.

After all requirements were elicited we signed fix price contract. Within two months the vendor introduced design, regularly demonstrated deliverables, and finally released ready to publish mobile app.

What was the team composition?

I worked directly with one project manager, their CTO, and two developers.

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

I consistently check the app in real-time, going in from the business admin side to create a company and running a campaign to see if it’s functioning properly. Everything has been working and passing all of my tests.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

For the most part, communication has been excellent. They are very specific about what is done, and we recieved weekly reports from them. We often meet with everyone on our team from PowerGate Software

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their knowledge of health and wellness was their key competency. Their insight was valuable and the reason I would lean on them in the future. They understands the importance of helping clients reach their goals.

They’re not just a design or development firm, they take a holistic approach to their client’s projects. The use their services in service of others, which sets them apart.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I only wish they were located closer to us.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the PA at a pharmaceutical company headquartered in VietNam.

For what projects/services did your company hire Power Gate Software?

We hired them as extra support for these efforts we were managing

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to come up with a brand-new website from scratch, with copy and branding

How did you select this vendor?

I think a former colleague told me about Clutch and actually mentioned the name Power Gate Software. We looked into them and had an interview call. For the price, they were willing to offer us the scope of work that was involved, and we thought they were the perfect fit. It’s also worth saying that we didn’t go with them at first. We had calls with three other similar companies, and we priced them out and had phone interviews. After all was said and done, Power Gate Software proved to be the right people for us.

Describe the project in detail.

Our former site was just horrific. In terms of new features, we have a video that plays when first landing on the page, there’s a “Contact Us” form, a page about us in the news and media, and users can get to our social channels from all pages. Power Gate Software completely overhauled our website, bringing in a fresh, proper design. Additionally, they’re also hosting our site.

What was the team composition?

We had a project manager, a copywriter, a designer, and two developers. Nevill Nguyen was always involved to make sure things were running smoothly, always checking in with us to make sure we were happy and that things were going well.

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

Our main goal is to increase sales and track it against the return on our ad spend, and they either maintain or move us forward in those areas. We’re seasonal, so they keep fine-tuning the efforts but we rarely move backward. If anything, everything looks better all the time.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They take care of everything, from our web positioning to the website management. We don’t need to do anything to manage the workload. They have full control over the management of our website. We meet with them in person as frequently as we can—I’d say it happens every other month. On a weekly basis, we stay in touch with them via email, and we call their office if we need them immediately.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

One thing I appreciated very much was that the president of their company called quite frequently to check-in, just to make sure that things were going well and we were happy. If there was anything we wanted to be different or that we just weren’t pleased with, he would be very quick to course-correct and make sure we were happy with the final product.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, off the top of my head there’s nothing I can think of
