BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO at drd.at. We’re an Austrian startup that delivers medical consultations to patients.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RebelDot?

We needed to reimplement our whole software. We had a workable proof of concept (POC), which we’d used to start the company. At some point, the company we were working with did some things that we weren’t completely okay with, so we wanted to change and get a professional that could build a more solid software solution.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We designed the software with RebelDot, and they implemented it. The solution is an iOS and Android app, and users can download it and call us to get a medical consultation. They can pay either by subscription or by a one-time fee. We also have an online version; it’s the same application, but it runs in the browser.

For development, we used React Native. RebelDot worked for about two and a half months for three sprints. We basically redid the POC, and now changes are only minor efforts. Currently, we’re online with the software, and we collaborate on and off on new features.

What is the team composition?

I work with four people. Three of them are constant, and one is on and off. First, we started setting up the project and defining the goals with the CTO. Later, we met the head of the project and frontend developers.

How did you come to work with RebelDot?

I looked around and found them by chance. Then, I asked other friends what company I should use, and RebelDot was among the choices. We tried to get started with another company, but it didn’t work out; we found out after one week that they wouldn’t finish the task. They were a lot cheaper than RebelDot, but there was an obvious reason for that.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent €55,000 (approximately $65,000).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2020, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Time and money are the two main factors we take into account. We wanted to do one-week sprints. RebelDot said it would take three weeks, but it mostly took two. We were content with that because it was below the estimate they’d given us.

Overall, I’m very happy with RebelDot; I hadn’t had an experience like this before. In software, having a good experience is exceptional, so I’m very fond of them.

How did RebelDot perform from a project management standpoint?

For the app development, they worked in two-week sprints and delivered on time and budget. We used GitLab and Jira as project management tools.

Also, we use Slack to communicate directly with the developers.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The speed at which they started was impressive. It only took three weeks to get the team together. Moreover, they were enthusiastic about the work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

During the sprints, we had a situation where the fourth guy was coming and going. He wasn’t always up to date with what was happening.

I had a situation where I communicated with him, and I didn’t realize he was the wrong person to communicate with because he would be on another project two days later.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Believe their estimates and not yours. RebelDot knows how fast their people work.
