The easy way to document and manage construction project FullStack Development
Founder of the NDA field management and quality control software came to us in Spring 2017 with thousands of non-working legacy lines of code, left after previous 8-month long development efforts, all his IT-savvy friends recommended to throw it away. We launched MVP within 2 months and accompany the startup since then through all the numerous pivots and product shaping to reach Product/Market Fit. Our CTO-service worked well and we are growing together now.
This project is the best mobile-focused construction tool for contractors, superintendents and subcontractors who work on building projects. It is the first platform for foreman and field workers that provides a modern social media collaboration experience in the building site. Construction and control software simply takes ongoing update posts and turns them into action items to revolutionize the field task management process.

"Reaktivate was very agile and receptive to our requests for fixes."

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of a small SaaS startup making software for construction companies.
What challenge were you trying to address with Reaktivate?
We needed help with mobile and web SaaS product development.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed iOS and Android apps from scratch using React Native. The mobile app is used by construction professionals at construction sites to streamline the building process and control quality assurance/control of building processes. The web app is a platform with the same platform as the mobile app. More information stays in the cloud. When people are in the field, they work with the mobile app. When they’re back in the office, they have all the information in the web app that they collected in the field. The web app is also used to configure the system.
What is the team composition?
I worked with a main developer and two expert consultants, whom the main developer consulted with.
How did you come to work with Reaktivate?
I looked at different freelance websites and gave complex tasks to several potential companies. Reaktivate were the only ones who could complete this task. I was impressed and decided to work with them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $100,000 with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from June 2017 until October 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The product works. There are about 100 construction projects in Israel using the product. There were many bugs and crashes during the process but they were fixed routinely. Reaktivate was very agile and receptive to our requests for fixes.
How did Reaktivate perform from a project management standpoint?
The communication was good. We used Jira and Slack.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality of work was good.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We had some friction when we tried to add a new developer sometimes. They have challenges with increasing the size of the team.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you’re considering outsourcing development, they’re a great option. Have ongoing and open communication with the developers.
While bugs arose post-launch, Rekativate also developed fixes, and the solution is receiving significant usage. The client was pleased with Reaktivate's communication and quality of work. Future customers will encounter a solid outsourced development partner.
