What did you find most impressive about them?

Prismetric has done the business analysis perfectly. They’ve defined the flow of the app better than the last company we worked with. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would be nice if we could communicate directly with the developers. We don’t blame them, though, because they informed us of it before we started the project.  

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate with them at least once a week to prevent any misunderstandings.

2-5 people

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Let me tell you, stay FAR away from these guys. they basically scammed me out of $22k. Nine months after the contract began, they still had yet to deliver a product that was even remotely usable. I ended up having to fire them because the entire suite of products were utterly useless and contract in a different company to do it. Let me tell you, the new company has it fully completed and working perfectly in 2.5 months. When I asked for a refund (because the new development company said "it looks like a kindergartner tried to code this") Prismetric completely denied it and kept feeding me excuses on why it wasn't their fault.

Prismetric is a terrible development company that lied to me about their capabilities to get me to sign a contract with them and dragged me along for 9 months wasting valuable time and money.

If you’re positive for HIV, HPV, HSV, or Hep C, you can find other accepting, like-minded people on the app to date, become friends with, or provide mutual support to.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prismetric?

They’re developing the app for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prismetric takes an all-in-one approach to the job. The key deliverables are the design of the app, the development, and the branding. They’ve also uploaded the first phase of the solution to the App and Play stores, as it’s available for iOS and Android. Additionally, they’re providing six months of maintenance and support.

We’re set to finish phase one any day and then move into our phase two contract.

What is the team composition?

Hardik (Project Manager) is the team leader, and I deal with him directly. There are nine members of Prismetric working on my app, including developers, designers, and other resources.

How did you come to work with Prismetric?

I found them on Clutch and on Google and looked at their reviews and customers on both sites.

How much have you invested with them?

The phase one contract amount is a fixed price of $30,000 AUD (approximately $23,000 USD). I’ve asked them to do extra work, and that costs another $3,000–$4,000 AUD (approximately $2,300–$3,100 USD).

We’ve been working together since August 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The app is available on the App Store and the Play Store and has 130 members. There have been a few bugs, as any app experience, but Prismetric fixes everything as we go. There haven’t been any issues.

Everything has been performed on time. They’ve also done a lot of free extras for me. I rate them highly.

How did Prismetric perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything happens in Basecamp, which makes it easy to communicate with the team leader. I can send documents and assign tasks I want done. We also speak through Skype and a general chat.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve asked for lots of changes, and Prismetric always gives me their time, even we’re halfway through doing it one way and I change my mind. They’re very efficient with their time and are very flexible. These changes often come at no cost to me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

This is the first app I’ve developed, so I’m not sure how these projects usually go, but my only issue is that there have been a few minor bugs. Prismetric fixes them in a few days, though, and they’ve all occurred within the test program.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If other people are interested in working with Prismetric, then I would say that I’ve reached out to multiple companies globally and nationally, and Prismetric offers the best prices and services.

What challenge were you trying to address with Prismetric?

We needed a development partner to build an app.

SOLUTION

Prismetric handles the full development of our Android app. In the future, we plan to make an iOS version of the product with Prismetric. Their team is also in charge of publishing the app to the Play Store.

So far, we’ve spent between 12–13 lakh rupees (approximately $16,000–$18,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Prismetric around March 2020. We completed the first phase, and we’re in beta testing now. Their team will also provide six months of support and develop additional features on the platform. The project will be ongoing for the next 2–3 years.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

At the moment, we’re testing the app. It will only be used by selected farmers and providers, so we’re not marketing the product. However, we already have a few orders, which we didn’t expect in the initial phase. We’re getting good responses from users, so we’re happy with the app.

How did Prismetric perform from a project management standpoint?

Prismetric met deadlines. If we need anything, their team is available. We’re totally new to the technical world, and Prismetric supports us well. They share all the information regarding how the project should unfold.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their project manager is quick and knowledgeable. They gave us a few great suggestions that improved our application.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything for them to improve.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest listening to Prismetric’s feedback.
