Snapchat - redesign concept

We’ve wanted to make a project comprehensive with the latest trends in the design nowadays.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Internal feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Ready4S met all project requirements, turning constructive feedback into an implementable deliverable. Their understanding of mobile technologies helped them meet deadlines and produce a high-quality design.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there. 

I'm the founder and owner of a Dubai-based organization. We’re focused on developing applications for the professional services sector.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ready4S? 

We were looking to develop a mobile iOS referral tracking app, specifically for law firms.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

I got Ready4S involved at an early stage to help us think through the concept. They did everything from designing and developing the app to eventually transferring it onto our server. It was a complete end-to-end project. 

It's a fairly simple app in terms of functionality. The core feature allows users to refer clients and contacts to one another. Companies or organizations are able to monitor and track referrals as well. 

What is the team composition? 

I worked with a senior designer, a senior developer, and a project manager. Initial discussions were with their business development team. 

How did you come to work with Ready4S?

I found them on Clutch along with several other firms that matched my criteria. I had calls with them and two other contenders and they came out on top. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about £25,000 (approximately $31,500 USD).

What is the status of this engagement? 

The project took place from February–April 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I was quite happy with the way Ready4S approached the project and how the app turned out. They met all of our requirements. We were looking for a team that could give us a high-level design for the app, which they definitely did. They were able to work within our time frame and budget, and they were responsive and easy to work with. 

How did Ready4S perform from a project management standpoint? 

My project manager gave me updates each week of how many hours they spent on the project and what I could expect in the next week. They created a project timetable and kept me in the loop on what was going on behind the scenes. I'm a lawyer by background. It was very important to me that they could speak a language I understood. Ready4S did a great job of guiding me through the process without using technical jargon. I don’t think that's an easy-to-find skill but they nailed it. 

What did you find most impressive about them? 

They spent a lot of time working with me at the beginning just to get the job. During those initial months, their business development team always followed up and went the extra mile to land this project. I was talking to other firms as well, but I could tell Ready4S was hungry for the work. That was refreshing because sometimes firms can be complacent, which is off-putting. 

Are there any areas they could improve? 

No, I can't think of anything. I was 100% satisfied. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers? 

Be clear with your requirements and instructions. Having daily contact with the project manager is helpful. That's what I did, and it worked really well for me.

Feedback summary: 

Ready4S proved to be a capable and diligent development partner. They successfully delivered the applications and assisted with their launch into their respective online stores. The team remained mindful of budget limitations and provided regular progress updates.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am self-employed and have been developing an artificial language app called Algilez for several years. The language has been developed in conjunction with Greenwich University in London.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ready4S?

I have previously tried creating a mobile app myself using an online template. However, it was slow and amateurish and not good enough to publicize. Since I had little technical knowledge and a limited budget, I needed a company with an experienced staff to produce a high-quality mobile app for Android and iOS.

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted to provide a mobile app that customers would find easy to use while learning a new artificial language. It was also necessary that I be able to update the lesson pages and associated audio files by myself, so the application needed to be simple, and I needed support on how to maintain it. Although I could be very flexible with the timeframe, my budget was limited.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I found Ready4S while reading online reviews of app development companies. Ready4S appeared to be highly regarded and offer services at a reasonable price.

Describe the project in detail.

At the invitation of their sales team, we traveled to Poland to meet with their staff for several days. During the scope meetings, we got a good idea of what was possible and affordable while reviewing the various requirements. Once we agreed on the layout and the general appearance of the app, I put the lesson pages and audio files into the system, and Ready4S trained me to make any changes that I wanted.

What was the team composition?

We met with a project manager, their leading developer, and a designer in our original scope meeting. We also met with a contact from the sales team and the office manager. The project manager changed before work began, but we didn’t experience any setbacks because of the switch. A QA tester and a financial representative were also part of their team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app has only recently been released, and we are starting the process of publicizing the complete language project. I felt that we needed a tangible product—the app—that people could use before I started marketing the service. Similarly, despite a lot of testing, we are still in the early days concerning identifying any bugs in the app.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We communicated regularly during the project. During the busiest period, we held Skype calls once per week and exchange emails daily. I needed to supply most of the lesson content, so I did my best to ensure that I didn't end up delaying any of their work. The leading developer, in particular, was always helpful and responsive when we identified any issues.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Despite my project being relatively small, Ready4S made sure to look after me and provide plenty of support. They gave regular updates regarding their progress and my budget. I was initially skeptical about the logistics of working with a remote team, but we ended up working very well together. They spoke English well and made effective use of my money.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I expect that their staff is more accustomed to working with larger companies than with one-person shops like myself. I came in with very little knowledge about mobile apps and various other technological elements necessary for these kinds of projects. I would have liked to see a brief information sheet at the start of the engagement so that we could go over the parts of the app that I was not familiar with.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the junior project manager at The Straumann Group, a dental service organization made up of multiple brands. We provide tooth replacement services and orthodontic solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ready4S?

We needed web application development services.

What were your goals for this project?

We set out to create a web application so doctors could communicate efficiently with their patients.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I read about them on Clutch, and we asked them for a proposal. They were proactive and delivered much more than we expected. It was very easy to communicate with Olaf (Business Development Manager) and his team.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The web app allows our client companies to show their patients the various treatments they offer and explain treatment recommendations. The app also contains a patient-data entry form with an interactive tooth-selection chart. At the end of the process, the app prints out a final offer on services that will be emailed to the patient. If the offer is accepted, the acceptance is sent to our internal center, where someone follows up with the patient and schedules the procedure.  

What was the team composition?

The team consisted of a project manager, a designer, and a developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The offer/report generated through the application lets the patient discuss their treatment with their family before committing to it. This also creates leads for our customer’s, which they can follow up on later.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Olaf managed the project well. We had Skype calls whenever necessary and didn’t interact unless the project required it. I have to say, there was less communication than I expected, but it was very effective nonetheless. Their team understood our needs clearly and delivered the project on time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their friendly staff was always willing to go the extra mile. They had great designs too.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The pricing should be competitive.

Feedback summary: 

Ready4S is proactive and engaged, developing a product that meets exact project requirements. The app integrates perfectly with the existing Windows platform, just as requested. The whole team is professional and friendly, fostering a productive and effective partnership.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a senior project manager at Engage Works, a technology solutions company that delivers software and hardware integration.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ready4S?

We had a piece of software that’s used collaboratively on large interactive video screens, and a client requested the software to work with iOS devices. We didn’t have the skills internally, so we began looking for a partner.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ready4S helped build an iOS app based on our existing software for Windows. We didn’t have any experience with iOS, so they built all the wireframes and sketches. They took what they could from the existing software and built the rest of the UX/UI to make the iOS app functional and sleek. It interacts with the Windows software to allows for use across multiple operating systems.

What is the team composition?

We have a project manager and two main developers.

How did you come to work with Ready4S?

We found them on Clutch. We contacted a few different agencies, but they were the most engaged and enthusiastic. We talked to their previous clients, who all gave glowing reviews, so we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began in January 2018, and the work is ongoing. We’ve nearly delivered the final product.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The UX/UI is exactly what we envisioned, and it fits perfectly with the existing Windows app. We’re happy with their work, which is high-quality and runs smoothly. We’d definitely work with them again.

How did Ready4S perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re offshore, but we don’t have any communication issues. We spent a few days together in the beginning of the partnership to outline the project, and we now mainly communicate over the phone. They’ve been responsive during the entire engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’ve stopped and started the project a lot, but they haven’t charged us for the extra time. They’re professional, knowledgeable, and quick, building an excellent product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Meet them in person, if possible. You’ll see that they’re a great company to work with.

The first thing Ready4S did was refactor all our prior partner’s code to make sure it was up to standard and met all of our security requirements. They modified a few things and then also built out entirely new modules for the app, working in React Native and Kubernetes.

The new modules include a gift, travel, and entertainment program that our clients’ employees can use to track when they take a potential vendor out to a meal or give them a gift. They also built a due diligence module, which allows our clients to order due diligence reports from us or other partners. Ready4S built everything and made sure it all worked properly.

What is the team composition?

We had a project manager, lead backend developer, two frontend developers, and a designer.

How did you come to work with Ready4S?

We found them on Clutch. They had great reviews, and our vice president of technology even met them in person. It went well, so we hired them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from April–October 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have to do a few things on our side before we can launch, but clients have been eager and excited to use the new app.

How did Ready4S perform from a project management standpoint?

We had meetings twice a week to keep everyone on the same page. They always informed us if there was a problem and gave us consistent status updates.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were eager to work on our project because they’d never done anything like this before and wanted to learn as much as possible about our business. They were proactively involved during the entire engagement and made the app as good as possible.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

If possible, meet with them in person and begin building a relationship early. Try to make them feel like part of your team.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Still in beta, the app has received a very positive feedback from key stakeholders. Ready4S adjusted to a very tight deadline, corrected bugs quickly and responded equally as promptly to other concerns. While there were some agile and QA challenges, the team’s quality and on-time deliverables were hallmarks of their work.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a startup based in Melbourne, Australia. We’re working on technology that enhances the mobile ordering experience for FMCG market (fast-moving consumer goods) with the focus on convenience, speed, and accuracy.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ready4S?

As part of our digital solution, we needed to develop a mobile application that will help to capture inventory information using the device’s photo camera and then synchronize that data to the cloud. We were looking for a reliable partner that has strong and proven experience in building iOS apps with a focus on photo and camera features. We also had a challenging deadline and a limited budget.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

As an input into the project, we prepared a detailed Screencast supported by narrative, explaining and demonstrating all the features for the application. It was a heavy investment of time from our side but we wanted to make sure that the final app would meet our expectations.

Based off that information, Ready4S created a backlog of stories along with their estimations so to allow us to review and make some key decisions about the project scope. Following our strong Agile principles, we also dedicated some time to writing detailed Acceptance Criteria.

Over the course of 4 development weeks, Ready4S team took up the challenge to convert the agreed specifications into a functional native iOS app that uses Firebase as the backend. They created the technical solution from the ground up following their proven architectural approach, only liaising with our CTO when needed.

What is the team composition?

We interfaced with a manager, a QA resource, and a developer. There might have been other resources involved, but we didn’t directly interact with them.

How did you come to work with Ready4S?

Our key consideration was to get the most value for our money without compromising in quality. We decided to target firms based in Eastern Europe because of their known good skills at a reasonable price. It was also about the timeline; could the company actually deliver the quality we were looking for in a short period of time.

We found Ready4S on Clutch and they had good reviews. After speaking to a few candidates, we thought they seemed more experienced than the others and presented themselves well during our initial conversations. They also were confident that they could build the application given our prerequisites and timeline. What set them apart from the rest was that they asked all the right questions, especially in terms of technology, and also expressed a strong interest in building a long-term relationship with us. This resonated well with us because we ultimately wanted to find a partner that we can work with again in the future.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The first phase of the project is completed and took five weeks and is now completed. We worked together from May–June 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The app looks good and it works as per our requirements. While there’s usually a temptation with a tight deadline to rush the code, Ready4S made sure that they implemented best practices. I’m pleased with the quality and maintainability of the code.

We’re currently undergoing internal beta testing of the application with a view to distribute it amongst broader audience. At the moment it is not a general public-facing app, but rather part of our solution for digital transformation of our customers.

How did Ready4S perform from a project management standpoint?

Our goal was to have minimal involvement in the process due to limited resources and existing commitments to other ongoing projects. The only way we saw for this to be feasible is via following strict Agile processes and efficient project management. Of course, this was a hard thing to balance considering the limited time allocated for the project, however, we were upfront about this dare and communicated to Ready4s the need for advice and assistance on how to best address it.

In practice, we ended up having much more involvement in the process that we planned for. At the start of the engagement, we were getting increasingly concerned about the experience of our assigned project manager, who seemed to lack some key strength that we negotiated for. To better manage the anticipated risk of not conforming to our firm requirements, we had to timely bring our own Agile practices into the process and take over some of the management responsibilities. This being said, at the middle way through the engagement we were given a more experienced project manager who demonstrated a much higher level of professionalism. She communicated well, took the initiative in dealing the intricate issues and efficiently managed our expectations, even when there seemed to be a bit of a friction. Had we had the same project manager onboard right from the start we reckon our experience would be much more positive in this regard.

It is worth mentioning that we were a demanding customer with extensive experience in both project management and technical leadership. All things considered, we felt that Ready4S team could improve on Scrum skills in terms of managing the stories and giving us timely reports on how we are tracking against out set target.

Overall, project management was acceptable but it could have been better.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Considering the amount of work and our bumpy start, we were skeptical that the work could be delivered on time and to our expectations. However, Ready4S team managed to organize the work into two sprints and deliver the results that we were happy with. They were able to move very quickly with both the development and with addressing any bugs or changes. They were very efficient and proactive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

As mentioned before, we feel like the level of Agile that was promised to us was not met. We would also like to see them improve on the QA side in terms of writing and validating against the work against Acceptance Criteria to reduce the volume of raised bugs and time invested in User Acceptance Testing.

In addition, there was some significant confusion with the invoicing, which we as a customer would prefer to be abstracted from.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

They continually guide an industry-novice through the complex process of mobile app development. Ready4S engaged a collaborative approach to develop an impressive app prototype. They’re communicative, flexible, and capable of providing valuable consultation. They’ve demonstrated remarkable patience.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of an app startup company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ready4S?

I don’t come from a business background or have previous experience with app development. However, I came up with an innovative concept for a mobile app and described it to my friends and family. Everyone I spoke to offered positive feedback regarding the app’s various potential uses. At that point, I didn’t want to invest without first knowing if the product would be feasible to develop. As a result, I needed a development firm that could provide business consultation and build my app if possible.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ready4S is currently developing my application for Android and iOS. The platform aims to be an alternative to social media. It’s a straightforward concept. I sent the initial mock-ups to their senior business development manager. From there, we worked through the initial workshop stages and planned out what was needed to build a prototype. This was a new experience for me, but they made everything clear from start to finish.

They eventually produced a working prototype and were able to quote a price for the full development within a 4-month timeline. I didn’t want to begin development until I’d had the total seed investment needed to complete the project. Ready4S offered the option of breaking the work down and paying in weekly installments. They understood when I wanted to wait and speak to further investors. They’ve been in touch with me and provided updates throughout the process. They’ve also offered to help with the funding and have their sales and marketing team review the information I’m presenting to potential investors.

What is the team composition?

In addition to their senior business development manager, I’ve also been in contact with the senior IT project manager, a designer, and someone from their sales and marketing team.

How did you come to work with Ready4S?

I did some research online and used Clutch as part of the process. I contacted a few other app development companies but didn’t feel comfortable working with them. Conversely, Ready4S made the whole process very simple. They weren’t pushy and offered general information meant to help in the initial stages of the agreement. I didn’t have the experience necessary to move forward alone, but Ready4S helped me every step of the way.

How much have you invested with them?

We’re expecting to spend a total of £90,000 ($119,329).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2018 and the collaboration is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The prototype they’ve delivered has been great for visualizing the concept. I don’t have a lot of tech experience, but Ready4S has been very helpful. They put together a team that’s can effectively translate my laymen terminology into useful direction for the developers. We haven’t conducted any user testing, but I’ve personally spoken to around 70 people and shown the prototype to investors who’ve provided good feedback.

How did Ready4S perform from a project management standpoint?

Anytime I needed to get in contact with Ready4S; they were happy to set up a Skype call. We also communicate via email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I initially had no concept of app pricing or the overall development process. For all I knew, the project could take £1 million to complete, or £5,000. I greatly appreciate their transparency in keeping me informed throughout the process.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’ve performed excellently thus far. If anything, the issues have been on my side regarding communication, but they’ve given me email updates regardless.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Don’t hesitate to bounce ideas between the developers. Listen to the experiences of each resource before deciding on a set approach.
